A dishwashing sponge is an essential item in any kitchen.
However, using it daily, we actually don’t always know how to do it correctly.
Let's figure out what mistake everyone makes when using this item.

How to use a sponge for washing correctly
One of the main points you need to remember is that the sponge also has its own expiration date. And it is not determined by the external condition of this item.
Over time, colonies of pathogenic bacteria settle inside the sponge. Therefore, it is not recommended to wash dishes with a sponge for too long.
And if the dishwashing item has become too dirty, then you shouldn’t feel sorry for it and throw it away right away.
It is also recommended not to use aggressive household chemicals. Regular laundry soap copes with the task perfectly. And here is a life hack: if you make a small cut along the sponge and insert a small piece of soap there, then washing will be more effective.
