FAQ
1. What exactly is a natural loofah?
A natural loofah is made from the dried interior of the Luffa aegyptiaca plant—a gourd that grows on a vine. Once dried, its fibrous texture becomes a powerful scrubber, perfect for exfoliating skin or cleaning dishes. Our loofahs are plant-based, plastic-free, and crafted with care.
2. How do I use a natural loofah?
For skin: Wet and soften the loofah, add soap or body wash, and gently exfoliate using circular motions.
For home: Use with dish soap to scrub plates, pans, or surfaces—tough on grime but gentle on your cookware.
3. How do I care for my natural loofah to keep it fresh?
After each use, rinse well and hang to dry in a ventilated area. Every couple of weeks, soak your loofah in a mix of water and white vinegar (or a quick boil for 1–2 minutes) to keep it extra fresh and clean. Avoid letting it sit in standing water, and always allow it to dry fully between uses.
4. How often should I replace my natural loofah?
Replace your loofah every 3 to 6 months, or sooner if it starts to lose firmness, smell, or show signs of wear. A well-cared-for loofah can last, but once it starts to break down, it’s time for a fresh one.
5. How do I dispose of my natural loofah when I'm done?
If you're using one of our cotton-backed loofahs, it cannot be fully composted due to the cotton blend. We recommend cutting the loofah into pieces and placing it in your trash or using it for household cleaning until fully worn out.
If you're using a raw, all-loofah version, it can be composted—just be sure to remove the cotton string first. The natural plant fibers will break down completely over time in a composting environment.
