Washing‑Up Pad – Natural Loofah Sponge for Plastic‑Free Dishwashing

The LoofCo Washing‑Up Pad is a brilliant, plastic‑free alternative to synthetic sponges and scourers. Hand‑made in Egypt from the Loofah aegyptiaca plant, each pad features natural, durable plant fibres and a cotton hanging loop for easy drying. Fully bio‑compostable, long‑lasting, and gentle on surfaces, it’s the perfect choice for greener, cleaner washing‑up.

When dry, the pad feels firm — but once immersed in warm water, it softens and swells into a flexible, spongy pad that fits neatly in your hand. Its natural fibres are soft enough for non‑stick pans, yet effective enough to clean mugs, dishes, glasses, and everyday kitchenware. At approximately 13 cm x 8 cm, it’s the ideal size for daily use.

Part of the wider LoofCo eco‑friendly range, this washing‑up pad supports a low‑waste lifestyle with plant‑based, biodegradable, and recyclable materials.
