Why do we trust the loofah?

As i was in the shower the other day, i had this thought (who doesn't have their greatest thoughts in the bathroom?)--why do we trust the loofah? Why do we think that the loofah does not ever get dirty? If it were simply a washcloth we were using we would trade it in for a clean one after each use. But this is not so with the loofah. So have i missed something? Am i not thinking straight about the loofah? I understand that you put soap on it to clean your body and therefore should stay clean, but this same reasoning does not hold true for towels does it? any comments or conspiracy theories would be much appreciated.

i buy a new loofah every now and then - and i have friends who throw their loofah in the wash each week - so you can clean it if you'd like - or just trust it ....
i don't really trust it though - but you are very correct in that i trust a towel much less - it absorbs my grimy-ness - therefore i must wash the towel after each use....
i'm weird - i know.
