When it comes to healthy skin and good hygiene, your body scrubber matters more than you might think. But how long should you keep using it — and how can you make it last longer?
If you're like most people, you’ve probably kept a loofah or shower puff way too long. (We’ve all been there.) But traditional loofahs can trap bacteria, fall apart, and even irritate your skin if you don't replace them often enough.
Let’s break down the facts — and help you build a cleaner, more sustainable shower routine.
The Dirty Truth About Traditional Loofahs
Most loofahs are made from plastic mesh or natural plant fibers — both of which trap moisture deep inside and don’t dry quickly. That makes them the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, mold, and yeast.
Dermatologists recommend replacing loofahs every 3–4 weeks, which adds up to more than a dozen per year. That’s not just a hygiene problem — it’s also wasteful.
A Cleaner, Smarter Option: scrub-dub®
If you're looking to simplify your routine and cut down on waste, meet scrub-dub — a minimalist body care essential designed for durability, cleanliness, and comfort.
Crafted from Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), scrub-dub® is a sustainable shower accessory that resists microbial buildup and is easy to keep clean.
So, how often should you replace your scrub-dub body scrubber?
Only 1–2 times per year.
Thanks to its durable, antimicrobial material, scrub-dub® outlasts traditional loofahs by a long shot.
How to Clean a Body Scrubber (Like scrub-dub®)
Keeping your body scrubber fresh is easy — especially with the right material. Here’s how to clean scrub-dub®:
- Rinse thoroughly after each use to remove soap and dead skin cells.
-
Shake off excess water and hang it to dry in a well-ventilated area.
-
Deep clean weekly by soaking in warm water with gentle soap or vinegar for 5–10 minutes, then rinse and air dry.
Because scrub-dub is made from TPE — a non-porous, recyclable material — it doesn’t absorb water and dries quickly. That’s what makes it one of the cleanest, most eco-conscious skin care tools available.
