When someone stores kitchen sponges in the refrigerator or freezer, it raises eyebrows, but the answer puts the question into perspective.

This simple trick has a serious advantage that housewives can take advantage of.

It is known that moisture can accumulate in the refrigerator. In such an environment, favorable conditions are created for the reproduction of bacteria and fungi.

In addition, food spoils faster. And here a simple kitchen sponge comes to the rescue.

Thanks to its porous structure, it absorbs excess moisture and prevents condensation.

However, for this, of course, it is better to use a new sponge that has not been used for washing dishes.

Also, the sponge that was in the refrigerator should be thrown away.

It is no longer suitable for washing dishes, since the absorbent material may contain various microorganisms that survive at low temperatures.
