Why choose a natural loofah sponge?
Given all the choices for kitchen sponges these days, why should you choose a natural loofah sponge for your home?
Natural loofah sponges are truly incredible.
First of all, it is 100% plant based and made from the fibers of an edible gourd called the luffa plant. The loofah sponge is what nature gave us as a scrubbing tool-- and Mother Nature sure knows what's best because the loofah sponge works great!
Unlike traditional loofah sponge sections, which are just sectional cuts from the loofah fiber and can be difficult to use, Floofah uses multiple layers of the soft outer fiber shell to create the best loofah sponge for dish scrubbing and the bath. The natural material gives a thorough cleaning without damaging your dishes, pots and pans, nor your skin, without a shred of unnatural plastic or chemicals.
Second, natural loofah sponges are dries faster than conventional sponges as well as many wood pulp sponges out in the market today. This is because loofah fibers have a string-like structure and do not hold water. If you hold up a Floofah, you'll notice that all the water drops out, making it a superior choice to avoid mold.
Loofah fibers can also withstand common sanitation practices like running through the dishwasher, 10-15 seconds in the microwave, and blanched in boiling water. (Word of advice-- Don't try it eat it!)
Third, natural loofah sponges are the most sustainable and eco-friendly choice when it comes to scrubbers. Because it is fully plant based, Floofahs are fully compostable and biodegradable, not only in industrial composting facilities but also in your home compost. In fact, worm compost (vermicompost) proves that loofah plants can be broken down into nutritious fertilizers for your garden.
In conclusion, we highly recommending incorporating natural loofah sponges into your home, like the Floofah kitchen and bath sponges.
