-(i) tablespoon baking soda per (i) cup of warm h2o.

-Soak for 15 minutes

-Rinse

-Permit the sponges air dry in a ventilated area.

For both loofahs and sea sponges – the more you use them, the more oft they need to be swapped completely. Likewise, we recommend storing your natural sponges in a cool, dry place betwixt uses. It will help elongate the life span of the sponge and forbid leaner from growing.

DON'T!

-Use a diluted bleach solution.

-Boil, microwave, or betrayal to loftier heat (it will harden).
