Natural Loofah

Tips for maintaining your Loofah Sponge:

Like any other sponge, loofahs are meant to be used for a limited time before being replaced. However, if you follow these tips on cleaning your loofah, you will be able to get a month of use out of a one loofah.

• Remember to soak your loofah sponge in water before using it for the first time.
• Dry it daily: After using your loofah, remove it from the moist shower environment and leave it somewhere with enough airflow to completely dry it out between uses. If you want to be extra cautious, soap up the loofah and rinse it out on its own after washing yourself and before letting it hang to dry.
• Clean it: Your loofah should be cleaned once a week. Every few weeks, soak the loofah in a solution of 5 percent bleach and then rinse thoroughly.
• Replace it regularly: Natural loofahs should be replaced every month. If you notice mold on it or it develops a mildewy or musty odor, replace it immediately.
