Loofah sponges are made from the egyptian cucumber. It can be used is scrubbing bath sponges or even for dishes. Loofah sponges last a long time and are a great natural eco substitute for plastic sponges, that only last a couple of weeks. Lesser known-tip: I also use cuts of loofah sponges as soap holder. Because of their gaps they let water through and lead to fast drying of the soap after using. It also prevents a mess with too much soap water.
