Luffa sponges, also known as loofah sponges or vegetable sponges, are natural cleaning and exfoliating tools derived from the fibrous skeleton of matured luffa gourds, scientifically known as Luffa Egyptiac or Luffa cylindrica.
Using a luffa kitchen scrubber is an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic sponges, as luffa is a natural and biodegradable material. It not only helps to reduce plastic waste but also provides a sustainable option for cleaning your dishes effectively.
- 100% natural and biodegradable
- Natural fibre that doesn't damage surfaces
- Luffa on both sides
- Softens in contact with water
- Once wet, the sponge increases its size up to 2 or 3 times
- Dimensions: approximately 12 x 7 cm
To use a luffa kitchen scrubber as an ideal replacement for plastic (synthetic) sponges when washing dishes, follow these steps:
- Wet the luffa scrubber: Start by wetting the luffa kitchen scrubber under running water until it becomes soft and pliable.
- Apply dish soap: Apply a small amount of dish soap directly onto the luffa scrubber or onto the dishcloth if you prefer to use it in combination with the scrubber.
- Scrub dishes: Hold the luffa scrubber in your hand and begin scrubbing the dishes, pots, and pans. The rough texture of the luffa will help to remove food residue and grime effectively.
- Rinse dishes: After scrubbing, rinse the dishes thoroughly with water to remove any soap residue.
- Clean and dry the luffa scrubber: Rinse the luffa scrubber under running water to remove any food particles or soap. Squeeze out excess water and hang it in a well-ventilated area to air dry. This will help prevent the growth of bacteria or mold.
Replace when needed: Over time, the luffa scrubber will wear out and lose its effectiveness. Replace it with a new one when you notice signs of wear and tear.
