Review (3/5): Good basic set
I received this set of back scrubbers for free to test and evaluate. The following is my unbiased review based on testing it out. I tested one set, my roomie tested the other. I am making a blended review to include her comments as well.
They arrive in a plastic bag that shows off everything nicely. It would be suitable for gift giving. That being said, this is a good set but not a "fantastic" set. There are higher quality sets on the market but it is best to purchase a high quality set in person so you can eyeball it vs purchasing off Amazon.
This set.. The sewing is good, but sewing loofah can be tricky. The company did not get the loofah pad on the back scrubbers attached firmly enough. I can say this with confidence as the edge of one of the back scrubbers is already coming loose a week after using it. The two small hand held pads are holding up fine and I believe they will continue to hold up. The handles are firmly attached and have been withstanding heavy tugging.
The small suction cups that are meant to hold the scrubbers or the back scrubbers do not stick to my shower tile. My tiles have a slight texture to them. The suction cups keep popping off after a few hours. (Not sure of the exact amount of time it takes them to pop off. I stick them on and they are popped off around 8 hours later when I notice them.)
The texture is great and feels fantastic. I am finding that I can use either side for scrubbing if desired. The handles on the back scrubber are attached very well.
These turned yellow after two uses, despite careful rinsing with hot water. This displeases me and makes me wonder what germs are being left behind. I wash my back scrubber of any type once a week in a sink full of extra warm water and detergent. I then allow the scrubber to dry outside in the sunlight for the day. Non loofah types are run through the washer on delicate but loofahs are more delicate.
This set is a good one and the fact that it comes with a pair of each means that it can either be shared as I am doing or there can be a spare for when I wear out the first set in around 6-8 weeks. (Yes, I really do exchange my bath stuff about every two months.)
