The loofah plant is a sort of tropical cucumber, with fruit that, when fully ripe, is very hard and fibrous. These natural slices are completely compostable.
What can I use my loofah slice for?
- a soap holder: rest your soap (or shampoo or shaving bar) on a loofah slice and it will keep dry and last longer.
- an exfoliating pad: use it to slough off dead skin in the shower.
- a kitchen scrubber: great for dirty pans, it’s naturally abrasive but won’t scratch non-stick surfaces.
Squeeze excess water from the loofah slice and leave to dry out. Regularly sanitise your loofah by boiling it for 5 min or put it in the washing machine. When it starts to fall apart, you can compost it.
