Loofah:
Loofah is derived from the luffa cucumber, also known as the sponge cucumber. Humans have been using this ancient cultivated plant for centuries, but it seems to be gaining popularity in Western countries nowadays. In India and Asia, the cucumber is commonly eaten as a vegetable, but in the Middle East and Western Europe, the fibrous inner part of the ripe fruit, known as the endocarpium, is used as a natural sponge. The inner layer of the pericarp remains after drying and resembles a finely branched, sponge-like structure. Unlike other sponges, this sponge does not retain water. As a result, Loofah sponges are easy to clean and dry quickly. The Asian Loofah is harvested when the fruit is still immature, making its fibers softer than those of the Egyptian Loofah. The Egyptian Loofah is harvested when the fruit is mature and ripe. Due to the sturdier fibers of the Egyptian Loofah, it is best suited for stubborn stains.
Usage:
Briefly soak your Loofah Kitchen Sponge in water beforehand to soften and make the fibers elastic. Always rinse the sponge thoroughly after use and allow it to dry well. The kitchen sponge can be washed in the washing machine at 40 degrees. Your Loofah Kitchen Sponge will easily last 3 to 6 months. After that, you can simply dispose of it in the bio-bin - very eco-friendly!
