How often should one change their scrubby?

Probably ready for the trash, @jabag 11. You don’t want damp objects that collect bacteria hanging around for more than two showers.

Or throw it into the washing machine or dishwasher. I put sponges in the microwave after several days and launder washcloths after one use.

(Unless you want the scruffy or loofah to end up being 19 years old and male.)

I keep mine for no more than 3 or 4 months. Probably should replace them sooner, though.

I compare it to a washcloth and, like @gailcalled, use it only once before throwing into a washing machine.

I change my tooth brush and loofa every one/two months. and it can get pricey they are typically 5–10$. i usually buy the best ones i can find for around 1$ which can be difficult. they are usually cheap and small. so when i come across nice big thick ones, i stock up. otherwise look for the washable ones.

Does this make me a terrible person? I have never replaced mine. I figured I used soap on it.. thats clean right?

I’m serious…

I throw it into the washing machine when I am doing a bleach load.
I put the kitchen scrubby in the dishwasher every couple of days.

I use a shower scrubby that comes on a handle, kind of like a back brush but with the plastic scrubby stuff instead of bristles. I use it until the scrubby thing starts to fall off, which is after a couple of months. I buy them at the dollar store.

i see well i’m about to replace it then, thank you guys!
