This biodegradable Loofah cooking pot scrubber is a truly natural pan sponge. The special construction makes this loofah more durable than other pan sponges. The loofah is essentially wrapped around a core wire. Also perfect for cleaning organic vegetables like carrots, beans, etc. Size: +/- Ø 10cm (it is a natural product so sizes may vary slightly). Loofah is a 100% natural alternative to all kinds of synthetic sponges and scouring pads. * Biodegradable * Plastic-free packaging * Cruelty-free * 100% natural * Vegan * Environmentally friendly packaging * Plastic-free shipping They simply grow on plants that are laid over a kind of net by people on the farm. After the plant blooms, the yellow flower develops into a long, gourd-like plant that resembles a giant cucumber or zucchini. These are then harvested and dried. Afterwards, they are soaked in water, which loosens the skin and can be easily removed. The 'naked' loofah is then further dried in the sun. A completely natural process. The loofah from Elicious is carefully selected and further processed without the use of chemicals or bleaches. A loofah lasts 2-4 months depending on use. After that, it can simply go with the biodegradable waste and is back in nature within 30 days.
