To clean the luffas: after using for awhile : you can wash them in your washer, but don't put in dryer, air dry
I prefer a 10 minute soaking in 4th cup of bleach and a bowl filled the rest of the way with water. I have two loofahs that I clean this way and I've had them over a year! The bleach water takes the loofahs from a dingy yellow to a corn silk color which I prefer.
This vines massive loofahs are sure to be a conversation piece in your garden!
