Luffa, Loofah, Lufa!
What is a luffah?
Native to Southeast Asia, the “loofah sponge” is the dried fibers of the gourd from the Luffa cylindrica vine, a plant in the Cucurbitaceae family (it’s where we got the name Qucurby!). It has been cultivated for a wide variety of uses by many civilizations around the world for centuries.
What is Qucurby?
Qucurby (pronounced ”kyü·kur·bee” or Q-curby) is a 100% natural and biodegradable sponge made of loofah gourd fiber and organic cotton. When you're ready for a new Qucurby sponge, simply compost the old one to make beautiful soil!
Instructions
How is it used?
To use:
- Submerge the sponge in water to soften the fibers.
- You're ready to start your plastic free scrubbing. Use your sponge for dishes, as a bath sponge, or other household needs.
- Repurpose for other household needs or compost it when you feel the sponge has reached the end of its useful life.
