Dish sponges should be changed as often as possible.
However, such equipment quickly accumulates a huge number of microbes.
It is important to remember that dishwashing liquid does not completely remove bacteria from sponges.
That's why they continue to accumulate inside.
Some people prefer to give such things a second life.
For example, use them to wash other surfaces. But in this case, you still need to tidy up the old sponges.
Thrifty housewives were able to find a way that helps to perfectly clean the sponge from dirt and grease.
The process is easy.
To do this, you need to pour about 4 liters of clean water into the basin.
Then you need to add a glass of bleach.
The solution needs to be stirred, and then a sponge needs to be placed in it for 5 minutes.
Then it must be thoroughly washed under running water.
As a result, the water should become transparent. After this, there will be no trace of grease and dirt left.
Then the clean sponge can be used to wash plumbing and other surfaces in the house.
Earlier we talked about why the color of a dishwashing sponge is important.
