Natural, sustainable and purely vegetable:
our kleandrop loofah sponge
The natural material loofah, coming from the loofah cucumber, which belongs to the genus sponge gourd is a true miracle plant. The practical natural sponge with its properties puts almost any sponge made of plastic in the shade.
Luffa originates from the subtropics and is considered a sponge gourd. When the fruits are still young, they can also be eaten as a vegetable. This is particularly popular in the Asian region.
When the fruit is ripe, it becomes fibrous and is therefore no longer edible. Once fully ripened, it is dried and used as a versatile tool in bathrooms and kitchens.
Due to the natural material, the loofah sponges can be composted once they are worn out and are completely biodegradable. However, they have a long life if they are cleaned regularly and stored in a dry place.

In addition, they have to be replaced frequently and their packaging also generates further plastic waste that could be avoided.
