What an unearthly smell . . .
Having used loofahs in the 80s and remembering how naturally refreshing they were, I was at first disappointed to see they (3-pack) were so small. Then, they had been squished flat in order to jam them into a very small cardboard container. The Chinese-English brochure was hilarious as usual but in their "FAQ" section it mentioned a smell. When I took one of them into the shower to expand it with running water (which they directed you to do), it released a reeking, foul-smelling stench that I had never experienced in my entire life; what came to mind was a CCP slave-labor factory--a combination of paint, some other chemicals and a new smell I had never experienced before. Whether this odor can be rinsed out is now unimportant. All three are going into the outside trash can. If you buy Chinese products, Caveat Emptor.
