Craft:

I also wash my plastic bath scrubber in the washing machine, it works great. The only problem I had was when the tie came loose on one and I had a long strip of plastic mesh! It took a few minutes to get back together, but I'm still using it, and I've had it for nearly a year.

And as Alicia pointed out, one of these is going to gross you out a lot more than a plastic mesh bath scrubber ever could... it's a little *too* eco-friendly if you get my drift- you'll be supporting a whole colony of mold and bacteria!

Well, I bought it. So I hope it works out well. I hate the petroleum smell of plastic ones.

I've crocheted these too! The only problem I've run in to is that they NEVER dry in between shower times. In other words, they could not smell so nice and become a little icky. If you're lucky enough to have a washer and dryer (unlike most New Yorkers here!), then you should frequently wash and dry them.

I don't know why I'm defending mesh bath puffs , but you can totally throw them in the washer too. And should. :-)

I've made several of these puffs before. They are easy and make great gifts. I agree that the mesh ones get kinda gross after a while. This post reminded me to go look up my pattern!
