I got a box of of scrub sponges made of loofah (rather than just a cut from the plant). They were too sturdy to work with, but maybe over time they’d get get softer?
I have some with cellulose on the soft side (my favorite dish-washing material) and a hemp loopy weave layer on the back but haven’t tried them for dishes. They work well for the stove.
I was thinking that I’d probably have to knit a natural rough fiber rectangle to get the right amount of limpness for me. If I hung it daily in the sun, maybe that would help disinfect it.
Regarding your loofah, I think any natural material would get softer with use. Perhaps even try soaking it for 5 minutes before you use it? And for sure, any scrubber will benefit from drying out between uses. Thanks for your comment!
GENIUS!
Interesting idea 🤔
