Award winning LoofCo Washing-Up Pads are hand-made in Egypt from the gourd of Luffa Aegyptiaca plant with an Egyptian cotton string hanging loop. An ingenious and traditional use for a loofah and the perfect biodegradable alternative to plastic sponges and scourers. When dampened its natural plant fibres become soft enough for non-stick pans, supple enough to fit into mugs.
