Luffa Washing-up Scourers are biodegradable and compostable, unlike plastic scouring sponges which sit in landfill and also disperse small amounts of plastic bits into our waterways when abrased on pots and pans.
In the Phillipines, people wash their dishes using a luffa instead of a plastic scourer. Luffas are durable, effective, and far better for the environment as they last up to 12 months and biodegrade when worn out or can be placed in a home composter.
Michael's Original Luffa Scouting Pads are ethically and sustainably grown on his family farm in the Phillipines. Luffas are long, gourd type plants grown on land. They are skinned, de-seeded and dried to produce what we normally associate as a bath loofah.
Bought directly from the farm at a fair price, your purchase supports less privileged families and prevents environmental degradation.
Michael's Luffas are durable and tough enough for all your washing up and surfaces (soak baked on food first). They are gentle enough to cleaning non-stick surfaces, fruit and vegetables, glass and also your body.
Clean and Hygienic, Rinse and air dry the luffa by hanging it up or, wash in the dish washer or clothes washer.
After the life of the Luffa, place in a composter, wormery or garden bin scheme rather than landfill.
It is estimated that if everyone used Michael's Original Scouring Luffas instead of plastic scourers, we would save around 150 double-decker buses of non-biodegradable landfill each year.
Luffa's are a natural product hence size and shape may vary.
