Everyday tips
Care and Use
How to use a natural luffa sponge in the bath or kitchen, and how to keep it lasting as long as possible.
Kitchen
- Use a dedicated kitchen sponge for dishes, sinks, and tubs.
- Keep bath and kitchen sponges separate so food prep and personal care stay apart.
- Rinse after use, squeeze out water, and let it dry fully between uses.
Make it last
- Rinse after every use and squeeze out as much water as you can.
- Hang or stand the sponge so air circulates around it.
- Once a week, wash it on the top rack of the dishwasher or in a laundry wash cycle, then air dry only.
- Replace it when the fibers break down, lose their spring, or keep a smell that washing does not fix. With good care, many last about 1 to 3 months.
- When it is worn out, it can go in the compost.
