Abstract

A brush for scrubbing and scratching the human body includes a plate portion having a front face and a rear face, a plurality of bristles extending from the front face and an attachment mechanism for attaching the brush to a wall with the front face being directed away from the wall. The attachment mechanism preferably provides removable attachment to a wall, and may be a plurality of suction cups. The front face of the plate portion preferably has essentially the same surface area as an average person's back. The outer edges of the front face optionally have the essential outline of the upper human torso. The bristles optionally have a stiffness and an end roundness suitable for comfortably scratching a person's back when dry. The bristles are preferably provided in clusters, and each cluster of bristles may converge into a first end of a stem member extending through the plate portion, and a suction cup may be attached to a second end of the stem member. A method of scrubbing one's back with a bath brush attached to a wall, the bath brush having outward extending bristles, includes the steps of leaning one's back against the bristles of the brush and moving one's body relative to the wall.
