Environmental information about Cleaning sponge - 2 pieces Loofah plant is a fast-growing plant from the cucumber family that is rich in durable fibers yet soft and flexible. When the fruit is ripe, the inside of the loofah fruit develops a network of fibers that are perfect for cleaning and scrubbing when dried. Our loofahs are harvested, peeled, seeded and then dried, cut into lengths and processed by hand in Egypt. This processing method is a natural tradition passed down through many generations. Coconut Fiber is the naturally bacteria-resistant, fibrous material found between the hard, internal shell and the outer brown coconut husk. LoofCo uses coconut fibers that are a by-product of coconut food and oil production and would otherwise be burned. We twist coconut coir fiber around a 100% recyclable, galvanized stainless metal core and add a metal hanging loop for easy use and draining. Coconut fiber remains stiff when wet, holds liquids well and gives the coconut husk extra scrubbing power.
