Loofahs

Natural loofahs arrive quite firm because they’re dried plant fibres. Getting them ready only takes a minute:

What to do:

• 
  Soak in warm water for 3–5 minutes to soften and expand the fibres.
  
• 
  Rinse well to remove any loose plant particles.
  
• 
  Give it a gentle squeeze — never twist hard, as this can tear the fibres.

Daily habits that help:

• 
  Rinse thoroughly after each use to remove soap and skin cells.
  
• 
  Shake out excess water.
  
• 
  Hang it somewhere airy — ideally outside the main spray area of the shower.
  
• 
  Avoid leaving it in a damp pile or closed container.

Time to swap it out if you notice:

• 
  Persistent musty smell
  
• 
  Dark spots or mould
  
• 
  Fibres breaking apart easily
