The loofah is a versatile kind of sponge that could be used for bathing or cleaning your house. Actually it is a type of gourd which we can simply grow in our the garden , the loofah is very simple to grow if you have some room in your garden or a smaller space and a trellis.

In India we make our own loofah sponge it is simple to grow loofah gourd in your kitchen garden or even in a pot its just that when you grow in the pot you need to put compost so that they grow well .in India we eat loofah gourd when it is fresh and soft .to make loofah gourd we need to let the fruit dry on the vine itself once it is completely dried it is removed and the peels are cracked and removed there is a fiber net visible inside with many seeds you have to thrash the gourd to remove the seeds .Once the seeds are removed you can dip it in the water for an hour or two so that you can remove dust and other impurities from it.You would see a different loofah in few months and how hard and brittle the outside peels gets when it dries out. we must use dried out loofah in which the fibers have formed. they are often cut before the fibers are formed within it so that they're easier for consumption. we do get loofah from the the market fibrous enough to be used to scrub our body and could also be used in the kitchen to clean the utensils and cookwares in India farmers make good money by selling these dried loofah .To reveal the inner fiber we need to peel off the hard part of the loofah gourd.the seeds which are thrashed out of the loofah are kept to plant the next crop

Soak the loofah into warm soapy water. Use a bleach to clean it and rub it with your hands to clean them and remove the dirt from it Let them dry out again and now we have cleaned loofah ready for use for the shower or in the kitchen.
