Loofah-Art...is a functional and whimsical collection of
NATURAL LOOFAH SCRUBBERS
THE LOOFAH used in our scrubbers is naturally grown and
processed. Because of the longer and finer textured fibers that resist
wear, Loofah-Art® products are the strongest, most resilient and
pliable natural cleaners on the market -- outlasting most other
scrubbers.
Kitchen Scrubbers
Gentle enough to scrub fruits and vegetables
Tough enough to clean dirty dishes and stubborn pots and pans
Safe enough to use on delicate non-stick and other sensitive surfaces
After each use just rinse and air dry -- always stays "fresh"
Contrary to common belief, loofah is a vegetable, not a sea sponge!
Originating in Asia, this gourd-like plant is closely related to the
cucumber family. It is grown in sub-tropical temperatures and requires
annual replanting.
The loofah used in our Loofah-Art® products is naturally, and in
some cases organically, grown and cultivated by peasant farmers who
often refer to it as "the poor man's sponge." Once the plant naturally
dries on the vine, it is harvested and the outer skin is peeled off to
expose their fibers, which form the natural loofah sponge. The loofah
is then hand-seeded, washed and left in the sun to dry naturally after
which it is hand fabricated into our whimsical and functional products.
Because of their longer and finer textured fibers, Loofah-Art®
products are the softest and most resilient natural sponges outlasting
most scrubbers on the market!
ONE OF THE DRIVING MOTIVATORS behind the mission of
Loofah-Art® LLC, is to undertake the challenge of helping to provide
both humanitarian and economic support to impoverished farmers and
their families in developing cultures around the world.
Currently over 11,000 farmers have been trained and certified to
grow and cultivate loofah sponges. The facilitating process employs
local individuals who hand process, sew and finish the products and
package them for shipment.
The growing of loofah helps save the land from ecological erosion. A
percentage of all proceeds received from the sale of Loofah-Art®
products go back to the countryside to provide funding to build new
schools, much needed medical care and decent living conditions.
