I recently discovered Loofah-Art kitchen and body scrubbers in a health food store in Mendocino, CA where I was visiting a family member. I've often been frustrated by the half sponge/half abrasive kitchen scrubbers I've been using -- ones that I've bought at grocery stores. Both sides of the scrubber disintegrate into pieces very readily, so I was primed to try something new.

REMEMBER to specify the loofah scrubber of your choice, in the drop down list to the left.

The Loofah-Art scrubbers come in whimsical colors and shapes, but most importantly they work. They are made from organic gourds and they last longer and feel better than synthetic scrubbers. Plus, these scrubbers help farmers in India make a living wage so I feel good using them.

I stuck a push pin in the window frame above my kitchen sink and that's where my Loofah-Art fruit now proudly hangs.

From Loofah Art, their mission:

Loofah-Art products are completely eco-friendly, 100% bio-degradable and fabricated from a sustainable agricultural crop. Our humanitarian and economic mission is expanding through our support of impoverished farmers and their families in developing cultures. The products derive from a very strong business and social model...safe and non-toxic, functional performance that is better than most other scrubbers on the market, environmentally sensitive to land usage, soil rejuvenation and conservation.

Our loofah is acquired from pockets of farmers who are self-employed. By providing these farmers with an alternative crop to grow and harvest, Loofah-Art is giving them the means with which to help support their families. In addition, we are giving employment to the fabricators who cut, sew, package and ship our products. Helping the workers with educational support for their children keeps the kids in school and out of the fields! One of our principal objectives for educational support is to provide the opportunity for the coming generations to succeed!
