As you would a sponge, wet it apply soap and rub over your body.

Yes it’s a great way to exfoliate the skin by rubbing in circular motions all over the body. It helps to get rid of dead skin cells, improve circulation and give you smoother skin.

If you are really scrubbing we would recommend 1-2 a week, you don’t want to exfoliate every day, but applying a gentle lather of soap without too much pressure you can use it everyday.

You can, but it does depend on how sensitive your skin is, it may be too harsh.

Rinse throughly after every use. Luffas must be put in a place where they can throughly dry out after use, you can pop it in the wash with your towels every week to give it a good clean.

If you leave it in a puddle of water and don’t clean it properly yes. As most things would! Being a plant luffas are naturally antibacterial so they are a better option then the plastic versions, just make sure you dry it in between uses and wash it every so often.
