100% natural, compostable and biodegradable. A sustainable replacement for plastic scrubbers that shed toxic microplastics as you use them, these loofah dish scrubbers are hands down my most favorite cleaning item! They're an outstanding product with the perfect balance of 'scrubbiness' to get baked on food off of pots and pans, yet somehow still so soft and pliable that they feel lovely in your hand and are safe to use on nonstick cookware. And they last for MONTHS! They puff up once you soak them in water, can be used on all types of kitchenware, also for cleaning vegetables and fruits without worrying about any by products. The loofah (also spelled luffa) is a genus of tropical and subtropical vines in the cucumber family!
