Nine Ways to Use Loofah Sponges 

Thank you. Let me know if you have any new ideas. I heard some people are using loofah in place of filters on some machines.

Glad it was helpful!

I'm so glad!

I am glad you liked it. Thank you.

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you.

Thank you for your encouraging comments. Please see the video I just posted "Our Loofah Sponge Story" about our harvesting experience last September.

I'm so glad! If I can go a step further, why not try to grow one. They can be grown in pots in a small location as well as in a larger garden.

You gave me a great idea of using the loofah dry. I tried it and I like it. This year we got a few very long loofahs and I want to experiment with making a loofah for back-scrubbing. Any good ideas?

Good for u

Thanks for the tip!

I don't remember exactly, maybe 20~30 minutes or until the outside begins to look soft. Good luck.

Noted, great share❤

Thank you for the helpful tip. I will have to try it.

How wonderful. Our harvest this year was a little better than last year. We had to overcome so much rain. How is the weather in India for growing loofah?

I'm also a loofah farmer in Trinidad...a tiny island in the Caribbean. I love the loofah too

Hahaha..... I am loofah manufacture from China, nice to meet u guys😂

Hello

Thank you for sharing. That is good to know.

You are silly. Soap is a surfactant. Soap molecules stick to water, and they stick to dirt and grease. As long as you RINSE out your sponge/loofah, you are unlikely to grow bad bacteria. Another important step is to air out the sponge and let it dry, if it stays wet for too much time, it will contract airborne bacteria and grow mold. Allowing it to dry stops bacteria growth. Don't wash your washcloth after every use, it's just a waste of energy and water, and your cloth will wear out sooner.

I think my comment disappeared, but I was trying to explain to you that soap is a surfactant. The molecules of soap bind to water AND grease and dirt. As long as you RINSE out the sponge, the dirt and grime will go away with the soap and rinse water. Please do not waste more energy and water by washing your towels every single use! 🤦🏻‍♀️

@@ewe392 I don’t think you understand how bacteria works🤣 you are in denial because the truth is uncomfortable. All you have to do is some research. Let’s just hope you’re not saving energy and water by not washing your hands every day or using the same t shirt, underwear and socks more than once..🤢 some people hygiene is insane.

@@Wtfpleasehlp you are not letting your sponge dry out then. The traces of bacteria that are left should be dried up after each use. It pauses their growth. I don't think you understand how the human immune system works. You need to be exposed to small amounts of bacteria in order for your body to build an immunity to it. A kitchen sponge made of plastic has less areas for moisture to evaporate from, it is of higher possibility that it could grow bacteria over time. A natural loofah is not as dense, and will dry, therefore halting any bacteria growth. You constantly have bacteria around you, on you, in you. On your pillow, toothbrush, keyboard, steering wheel........if you constantly sanitized everything your entire life, and suddenly we're exposed to bacteria, your body would have no defense against it. You have a high possibility of getting sick constantly. Think viruses, similar. Analogy, American Indians vs European diseases.

Ha, ha, I don't have that experience.

Depends on how many do u want❤

If your climate will grow them, I suggest trying to get some seeds online. Keep trying even if the plants die at first. I did and now I can grow them successfully.

It grows on fence very well in Nigeria
