Why does Chamarrel sell compressed loofah?
Because it has a positive impact on the environment. When the loofah is compressed its volume is 5 times smaller. In terms of packaging and transportation, it means much less waste. And this is perfectly in line with Chamarrel’s core values.

Is the compressed loofah poor quality or unesthetic? Not at all!

The quality of the loofah and its fibers remain intact. It instantly regains its full volume as soon as it is immersed in water (see the above video).

Compressed or not, as the loofah was bought loose it must be sterilized before use. To do this simply pour boiling water on your loofah and leave it fully immersed in it for 10 to 15 minutes. Thank you for supporting this zero waste effort!

Natural product, raw, cultivated and prepared in Egypt (where the plant grows).

Sold loose and compressed, no packaging no blister.

HOW TO USE

Use as a shower sponge

Loofah (loofah, luffa) fibers become soft when thoroughly wet an they retain water and lather very well. The loofah gently exfoliates your skin, removes impurities and dead skin cells and boosts microcirculation. Through these action, it helps reduce the apperance of cellulite. You will see the results when you use it regularly, your skin will become softer, particularly on your elbows, knees and heels.  

Instructions: Thoroughly wet the loofah add soap, then gently rub your body in circular motion.

Use as a kitchen sponge 

The natural fibers of the loofah are tough enough to clean all surfaces well, yet gentle enough so not to scratch them. Use your loofah as a suvstitute for a synthetic kitchen sponge, to wash up, to clean worksurfaces and even to clean the car. To minimise the impact on the enironment, combine it with a natural detergent such as Marseille soap for eco-friendly house cleaning.

Before use

We recommend soaking the loofah for at least ten minutes in boiling water or putting it in the wash for a hot cycle, 60°C. The loofah will instantly and permanently regain its full volume. It will be sterilised and ready for use.

Daily use

Always wet the loofah before use, to soften the fibers.

After use

Make sure to always rinse the loofah properly, then shake it and leave it to airdry. This will keep its fibers clean.

Keep your loofah clean

We recommend soaking the loofah for at least ten minutes in boiling water or putting it in the wash for a hot cycle (60°C), once a week.

Tip: Use drops of tea-tree essential oil as often as you feel the need, to keep your loofah fresh. This essential oil is known for its antibacterial properties, and efficiently keeps parasites, microbes and fungi away.

Time to get a new one?

Your loofah is durable. Store it away in a dry place for several months if you do not use it straight away.

When you think it is time to get a new one, put the old one in the compost or directly in the soil. It will decompose quickly because it is a 100% natural product.
