Another object of this invention is to provide a diaper washing board having a corrugated surface thereon for more effective performance of the board.

Still another object of this invention is to provide a diaper washing board which is of rigid construction, is inexpensive to manufacture and provides maximum utility to its user.

Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from a consideration of the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein a satisfactory embodiment of the invention is shown.
