I don't know about a source for the fiber material but some have had success substituting a copper mesh from the hardware or supermarket--commonly used as pot scrubbers. Believe one brand was "Chore Girl". Only remember seeing a single size "mesh" -- but just be sure to get the kind without soap.

No idea how much of your original material would have to be removed to get rid of the bad but that would determine how many you would need. A bit tedious as it has to be stuffed thru the holes since the cleaner is crimped together but with patience, can be done--looks & works decently too.
