A must-have for cleaning muddy vegetables. Will not splash muddy water around the sink. Hand made in Egypt. Approximately 8cm x 11.5cm in packaging with cotton string loop. Flattened for transport to save space.
May appear abrasive in dry state, but when immersed in water swells up to become a soft, spongy and flexible pad ( see image).
Fits neatly in the hand. Use with water on the wet skin of root vegetables with gentle pressure to lift off soil & debris.
To keep loofah fresh between uses, rinse well & squeeze out excess water & hang to dry from the cotton string loop.
Occasionally wash in the washing machine or by hand if desired.
Will last for months and at the end of its natural life can be composted.
