Loofah Washing Up Pad

The LoofCo Washing-Up Pads are hand-made in Egypt from Loofah Plants with an Egyptian cotton string hanging loop. This is such a great swap to plastic sponges and scourers. When dampened its natural plant fibres become soft enough for non-stick pans, supple enough to fit into mugs. 

Loofah Plant is a vigorously growing vine from the cucumber family that is rich in durable fibres yet soft and flexible. When ripe, the inside of the loofah fruit develops a network of fibres that are perfect for cleaning and exfoliating purposes when dried. This natural tradition has been passed down through the generations!

• May appear abrasive when dry but when immersed in water, the centre of the loofah pad swells to become a spongy non-scratch flexible pad

• Use in warm water with washing-up liquid or washing-up soap.

• To keep your loofah fresh between uses, rinse, squeeze out excess water, shake out any food particles & hang to dry from the cotton string loop.

• An occasional hand-wash or machine wash will also help to prolong the life. With care these loofahs will last for months and are fully compostable at the end of the life.

myReusable says "Loofahs are so versatile and have so many uses around your home. I'm an appalled at the amount of cleaning cloths and products on the market that contain microplastics...it's honestly shocking"
