    Summary:
    New Foam Sponge Technology - Replace Cellulose
    Describe the technology:

     Open cell polyurethane foam that does wipe dry and absorb as much liquid as a cellulose sponge plus so many other benefits, i.e., no odor, stay clean & brighter longer.  Mfgers have been trying to develop a foam that would compete against cellulose for many years, Crest has finally created a foam sponge that works and it doesn't require felting or a secondary process.  Right now the only U.S. mfger of cellulose is 3M which is also a competitor of all other consumer companies. 

    Is there a working sample?:
    Yes
    Actionability:

     Foam Trial has been run twice and passes wipe dry and absorption property against cellulose.

    Describe how Clorox could use this technology:

     Replace cellulose sponges with 3M cellulose that Clorox currently markets.
