Plastic Free LoofCo replaces mass-produced plastic mits and bath sponges that will not biodegrade. LoofCo Back Scrubbers are hand-made in Egypt from the gourd of native Luffa Aegyptiaca plant with extra wide Egyptian cotton woven handles.Designed for use in the bath or shower, LoofCo's generous Back Scrubber is 30x10 cm of layered loofah stitched together to form a rectangular pad with comfortable woven cotton handles. Designed for use in bath or shower to gently wash & exfoliate back & body, leaving fresh, clean skin. To Use: May appear abrasive when dry but when immersed in water, loofah pad swells slightly to become a soft spongy and flexible pad. Unfold loofah and immerse in water for a spongy, soft pad. Rinse thoroughly before first use. Use in bath or shower on damp skin with soap or gel whilst holding cotton handles. Gently wash & exfoliate back & body, leaving fresh, clean skin. To keep loofah fresh between uses, rinse, squeeze out excess water & hang to dry from the cotton string loop. Occasionally wash in the washing machine or by hand. Last for months and when worn out can be composted.
