Sisal Back Scrubber
Hold the two rope handles, pull the scrubber across your back and work it side to side: it reaches where your hands do not. Woven sisal on one side, terry on the other; hang it by a handle to dry.
DetailsSize, materials and use
In short: The Sisal Back Scrubber is a long strap with a rope handle at each end, made to scrub the parts of the back your hands cannot reach. One side is woven sisal, the other terry cloth, and both can be used. The body measures 4.3 x 14.8 in (11 x 37.5 cm) without the handles; made in Türkiye.
Sisal is a firm, durable plant fiber taken from the long leaves of the agave plant and spun into yarn; it is also used for rope. Here the yarn is worked into an open weave with a firmer, more noticeable texture than loofah. Because it is a plant fiber, texture and shade vary slightly from piece to piece.
For a fiber that softens in water, see the Loofah Back Scrubber; the version that slips over the hand is the Sisal Exfoliating Glove.
Benefits of Sisal
- A noticeable scrub: the firm weave lifts away dead skin; skin feels smooth afterward.
- Good on rough spots: easy to use on elbows, knees and heels.
- Durable fiber: sisal is strong enough to be used for rope.
- Holds a lather: the open weave works soap or shower gel into foam.
- A plant fiber: made from the leaves of the agave plant.
- Dries in the air: the open weave lets air through; rinse and hang.
How to Use
- Wet the scrubber and work soap or shower gel into a lather on the sisal side.
- Hold one rope handle over your shoulder and the other at your waist so the scrubber lies diagonally across your back.
- Pull with each hand in turn to scrub; then swap hands and repeat on the other diagonal.
- Turn it over to the terry side for a softer touch.
- Rinse yourself; then rinse the scrubber, squeeze it out and hang it by a handle.
Start with once or twice a week and adjust to what suits your skin; take a break if you see redness.

Do not use on irritated, broken or sunburned skin, or during an eczema or psoriasis flare-up. Sisal has a firm texture; on sensitive skin, try the terry side first. This scrubber is for the back and body, not the face.
After the scrub, wrap up in a peshtemal towel or a bathrobe. See every mitt and loofah in body scrubbers and exfoliating mitts, or browse the bath collection. Made in Türkiye.
CareRinse, then hang to dry
After each use rinse well, squeeze out the water and hang to dry in an airy spot, not inside a closed shower. Replace it when the fibers fray, darken or keep a smell. For personal use only.
