Dish sponges are indispensable things in the kitchen, which greatly simplify the process of washing dirty dishes.

At the same time, they should be changed as often as possible, since germs accumulate in them.

If the sponge is new, but there are traces of grease or dough on it after the first or second use, then you definitely shouldn’t rush to get rid of it.

With a few clever manipulations, you can return things to their usual appearance and get rid of food stains.

To do this, you only need to prepare a deep container, salt and hot water.

The whole process is quite simple.

Pour two glasses of hot water into a deep bowl, and then dissolve 2-3 tablespoons of salt in the liquid.

The sponge should be left in this composition overnight.

In the morning, all that remains is to rinse it thoroughly under running water and dry it, and then you can safely use it for its intended purpose.
