I raw dog bar soap all day ery day. I don’t lather it up, just rub it on my body. Wash clothes are a PITA and I honestly don’t see an exfoliating benefit. Loofahs are gross. I prefer dove. Very cost effective and leaves me smelling fresh.

Do you wash loofahs like you can a washcloth? If no, it just sounds like it could get gross like using an old dirty sponge.

I don't have the time or patience to wash a washcloth after every use. Loofahs dry out more quickly than washcloths or sponges (I'm talking the plastic artificial ones). I'm sure it could get gross, but I throw them out before they get too bad. You can wash loofahs in diluted bleach every few weeks to keep them clean.

You mean the plastic ones or the real ones? The plastic ones you can hand wash but I wouldn't stick it in a washing machine (you probably could if you used a laundry bag and put it on low spin)

I just replace mine often (each week) since they're only like a dollar or two, personally.

Well the little card that they come with says to replace it every two weeks... And you can very clearly tell when they're getting to the "old gross sponge" feeling that the other person mentioned.

I just imagine that they really enjoy rocking a layer of dead skin.
