Loofah Info

A loofah is an exfoliating bath sponge that is actually a vegetable grown on land. They are technically not a sponge as they grow on a vine like a marrow and when left to dry, the skins are peeled to reveal the fibrous inner which can be used for many tasks around the home.

How much plastic is actually in a plastic shower/bath sponge made of? The answer may surprise you...it's 3.5 metres of plastic netting in one standard shower puff. Read more about it here in our article on The Loofah Patch

Natural loofah can last a long time if you look after them correctly. Leaving them in a wet, soggy corner can cause mould and cause them to break down much faster.
