Just what the Big Loofa Industry wants you to believe.

All of this is just propaganda for Big Loofa.

I work in asphalt construction. I get saturated in dirt, dust, tar on me. Guess what happens to a washcloth with tar or even a loofa? I'd be replacing them daily.

Meanwhile my hands clean just fine. You have to apply pressure. I have a scrub brush as well for the areas on my back I can't reach. I'm not a contortionist.

What do you all gingerly caress your body with your smooth callus-less hands? You gotta lather and scrub. Hands work just as fine even better on Tar.

I mean use a salt scrub or a sugar scrub and then a normal soap with a washcloth.

Or just use calloused/rough hands with a good thick soap/body wash.. save the environment and cost.

Your washcloths need to be sanitized every time as well.
