The scrubber offers customized body exfoliation in one package. One side features a textured, loofah-like surface for deep exfoliation; the other side is made using soft microfiber for skin massaging and invigoration.

At 30.75 inches by 4 inches in size, this scrubber provides superior body coverage. Its size combines well with handles at each end to simplify reach and handling.

You can use the handle to hang it after showering. Also, the scrubber is designed to dry quickly because of its low moisture retention capacity.

Another thing to love about this scrubber is that its machine washable, hence easy to clean.

Because of its superior width, this scrubber will not roll, twist, or fold, during use as is the case with many narrow back scrubbers.

How to Buy the Best Back Scrubber

1. Materials

Back scrubbers are made using different materials, the most common being natural loofah. This material is preferred because it is non-toxic, and has a rough texture that is just ideal for body scrubbing.

Most people prefer loofah back scrubbers for their effectiveness in skin exfoliation. For those with back acne, especially, loofah is a great material for a scrubber.

You can get a scrubber with nylon bristles. Nylon is not only effective but also easy to clean by simply rinsing.

For the scrubber handle, plastic and wood are the most common material used.

2. Handle

Back scrubbers have different kinds of handles, depending on the designs. For instance, the most common hand-scrubber has the loofah part attached to a long handle that enables back body reach.

A handheld scrubber is great because its handle provides the flexibility and stability you need to operate the accessory as you clean different and often hard-to-reach body parts.

Some back scrubbers such as the Aquis AEX0040LI and Voda Reve KH-1546 have their entire surface area as the scrubber. They have fabric handles at their ends for easier handling while using them.

3. Wet or Dry Brushing

You can get a back scrubber for wet or dry brushing. Wet brushing is scrubbing when taking a shower, where you apply soap to the wet loofah or nylon part of your scrubber and proceed to brush it against your body.

Almost all the back scrubber you find in the market are designed for wet scrubbing, that is, for use in the shower. However, there are some scrubbers made for both wet and dry brushing, the latter of which does not involve water or soap.

The Bath Blossom Brush, for instance, is ideal for both wet and dry brushing.

4. Mildew Resistance

When shopping for a back scrubber, one major concern most customers have is hygiene. A good scrubber should be capable of resisting mildew and mold, the two primary sources of dirt and germs.

Most back scrubbers are designed to minimize the development of mildew. For instance, loofah scrubbers have large air spaces within them to allow effective water flow.

You can enhance your scrubber’s resistance to mildew by cleaning it thoroughly after use. Ensure you rinse off all the soap or shampoo that may be stack within the loofah or nylon scrubbing part.

5. Easy to Maintain

We all desire bathroom items and accessories that are easy to clean and maintain. Luckily, back scrubbers are designed with this desire in mind.

For ease of maintenance, both loofah and nylon scrubbers are built with low water retention capacities. That way, they allow for water to flow freely through them, thus making cleaning easier. They can be easily rinsed after use.

Most of the scrubbers we reviewed are also machine washable. You can simply toss them in your washing machine.

Conclusion

When shopping for a back scrubber, remember to check important features such as the materials used, the presence or absence of a handle, ease of cleaning and mildew resistance.

Aquis AEX0040LI emerged the best overall back scrubber for its great exfoliation capacity and superior back coverage.

Voda Reve KH-1546 is great for scrubbing the skin with acne, while Vive Loofah Sponge has long-handle for maximum reach.
