Do you wash your shower lily/ loofah?

[Smashingdoozy]

I was putting on a load of washing with a friend over and threw in my shower lily... He gasped and said "you're supposed to wash those?"

😬😳

Yes I wash them!

You're supposed to wash them?

I don't care enough to wash it

I don't use them

[OlderAndWiser]

I have never heard the expression "shower lily." I do have a loofah but never considered washing it with my other laundry.

[Smashingdoozy]

A loofah is technically a plant which looks very different. Shower lily or shower puff are alternative more accurate names

[OlderAndWiser]

Actually, the interior of the loofah plant is used as a bath scrub and that is the only thing which should be called a loofah. The thing that you call a shower lily is the scrubber made from nylon netting. The terms aren't interchangeable though some people may use them that way.

[Smashingdoozy]

That's what I just said

[OlderAndWiser]

Okay, I misunderstood what you wrote.

[NYCQuestions1976]

I've got a green loofah. I rinse it a little bit just before I soap it up in the shower and again just before I get out of the shower so it doesn't grow mushrooms. I've never put it in the washing machine though.

This question reminded me of this scene from New Girl:

"Who washes a towel?" 😂

[NYCQuestions1976]

Thanks for Most Helpful. 👍

[Nikki1989]

I just throw them away and buy new ones.

[Smashingdoozy]

That's very wasteful

[Apple1996]

I wash mine once a week

[JohnK123]

What’s a shower lily lol

[Apple1996]

@JohnK123 same as a loofah

[JohnK123]

I don't know what a loofah is 😭

[Smashingdoozy]

@JohnK123 the poofy thing you use to lather soap over your body

[OlderAndWiser]

@JohnK123

Shower lily is on the left, loofah is on the right.

[JohnK123]

oh lol I thought it was just called a sponge 🧍‍♂️💀

[JustinTheGreat]

no 💀

I never really thought to wash them. I just replace them often

[exitseven]

I thought flower lily was a euphemism for some part of the female anatomy.

[Smashingdoozy]

No..

[exitseven]

Do I have a dirty mind or is it just me?

[Smashingdoozy]

I believe you're thinking of tupil

[Smashingdoozy]

Tulip*

[exitseven]

@Smashingdoozy you the one with a dirty mind 😂😂😂

[msc545]

Well they're all of full of soap when I get through with them so I think just sort of scrunching them around a bit under a hot shower with a little bit more soap is about all I need to do.

[CuriousMufuxka]

Damn English and your weird words! Wait, I must catch the lolly before tea time! :P

I use like exfoliating glove thing, as I just find it feels cleaner afterwards. I always was then as well.

I thought it was common knowledge to wash the.

[MementoMori777]

[Anonymous]

[Opinion Owner]

Once a month.

[Smashingdoozy]

So you don't wash them... And you're wasteful 👍

[smahala1991]

I use washcloths and yes I do

[PointTaken]

I never thought of that.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Yes just like I was my wash clothes

[JohnK123]

[Smashingdoozy]

You know you can google things right?

[JohnK123]

Why do that when I’m busy or answering more questions here? Just takes time buddy
