A back scrubber is an excellent accessory for the shower. It helps you get into those tough to reach places that soap and water can’t always manage. You might feel like your back scrubber is nothing more than a plastic handle with bristles attached at the end, but there are many things to consider when shopping around. There are several types of back scrubbers available today, including loofah scrubs, natural sea sponges, and synthetic brushes. So what do you need to look for in a back scrubber? Here are five things to keep in mind when purchasing one.
Texture and Bristle Quality
Your back scrubber bristles determine how effectively it will clean your skin. A sponge brush is the most effective because it offers a varied texture that easily kneads away dirt and grime. Loofah scrubs are less abrasive than plastic brushes, but they tend to shed after extended use. You should also look for a long-handled back scrubber that allows you to stand in the shower and remain somewhat stationary while scrubbing your back. This reduces strain on your wrists and arms, allowing you to comfortably reach all areas of your back without wetting your feet or shoes (which could lead to slips and falls).
Weight and Grip
A heavier back scrubber will provide you with more pressure as you scrub your back. It also helps improve the grip on your tool, which is important if you are using one with wet hands. A loofah scrub is less likely to slip out of your grip because it has a textured surface that increases friction between your fingers and the sponge. You should also consider how well your hands fit into the handle’s grip area, especially when reaching under running water. This can be an uncomfortable experience with a poorly-designed handle. Still, it is less of an issue with models with rubberized grips or ergonomic shapes built into their design.
Guarantees and Warranty
A good back scrubber will last you at least a few months, but it is always best to look for one that comes with an extended warranty or satisfaction guarantee. Also, ensure the manufacturer stands by their product and offers replacements if you find defects or quality issues after purchasing their tool. Some manufacturers may even offer a money-back guarantee which means you can return your purchase if you aren’t satisfied with how it works (just check the company’s policies first).
The decision to purchase a back scrubber should be easy as long as you keep these three things in mind. From texture and grip to warranties and guarantees, several considerations go into choosing this tool for your
