A remediation pad that includes a layer of an open cell foam material defining opposing major surfaces and a reinforcing layer that is disposed adjacent one of the major surfaces. Some embodiments include a second layer of open cell foam material disposed adjacent the reinforcing layer opposite the first layer. The reinforcing layer may take the form of a mesh or film layer and can be substantially coextensive with the major surfaces it abuts. A plurality of fastening structures can be disposed on opposite ends of the pad whereby a plurality of the pads can be connected end-to-end to form an endless loop. The fastening structures may take the form of a hook and loop fasteners. A method of employing such pads when they form an endless loop is also disclosed.
