I dig it man. Every little bit helps makes this earth a little more self sufficient and last a little longer. I especially like the microfiber products. They may last a little longer yes, but they also don’t leave lint or dust behind like a cotton cloth will.

Great idea! We were thinking of having go at growing luffas, but I hadn’t thought of using them for cleaning stuff rather than people!

We have been using luffa’s in the kitchen, bathroom and most importantly to wash eggs for years. We grow these each year from the seeds from the year before. They are terrific, very durable and machine washable. A good luffa will last for at least a year and usually much longer.

Farctum – I can’t think of one off-hand but the self sufficientish forum has lots of helpful discussion on such things. Generally washing up liquids aren’t too bad – they’re probably the ‘best’ standard cleaning products you can get.

I tend to use Ecover washing up liquid – is there a good web site for comparing the environmental impacts of different products?
