Every home has sponges for washing dishes.

Such things need to be changed as often as possible. The fact is that food remains in them, and various microbes accumulate.

But if there is no way to quickly change the sponge or you want it to last as long as possible, then it should be washed. However, you should not do this only with dishwashing liquid and water.

The whole process is much more interesting.

First, the sponge should be moistened under running water and wrung out.

Then the product must be placed in a container and then sprinkled with salt on all sides.

After this, pour some vinegar on top. It is advisable to leave the sponge in the mixture for 15 minutes.

During this time, the solution will destroy all harmful bacteria.

The item will be clean again, and there will be no unpleasant smell from it. All that remains is to rinse the sponge again under running water, and then you can use it again.
