PRODUCT INFORMATION

The mesh-like texture makes it easy to foam using less cleaning liquid. Hard enough to wipe out all plaque & food junk left behind, also soft to protect non-stick pans, smooth plates & other scratch-afraid items. Durable for around 40 days.
- Quantity: 5 Sponges
- Material: Loofah fibrous & cotton string
- Size: 10cm x 7cm
How To Use
Before your first use, soak your loofah sponge in water for 5 minutes, it will expand and soften - make sure to rinse and hang your loofah after each use. You can gently wash your loofah every now and then in a bowl of baking soda, this will increase the loofah's lifespan.
What Is Loofah
The loofah plant is a fast growing vine native to Asia and Egypt, belonging to the cucumber family (not a sea organism what many people think), the loofah fruit is quite similar to a cucumber but much bigger. The inside of this fruit develops strong fibres, which are perfect for cleaning and scrubbing!
Look at this benefits list:
- 100% Biodegradable & Compostable
- Re-usable (and washable)
- Suitable for everyday use
- Disposal: The sponges can be added to a compost bin or put into the ground and will safely return to the soil
Materials: 100% biodegradable loofah, kraft box
