Some things in the kitchen can cause harm if used incorrectly.
Sponge for washing dishes
It needs to be changed at least once every two weeks.
The thing is that food debris and bacteria accumulate on it. In addition, a damp and warm environment is an excellent environment for the reproduction of microbes.
Scratched dishes
As soon as chips appear, the plate or cup should be thrown away. The fact is that not only dirt but also microbes accumulate in cracks. It is simply dangerous to eat or drink from such dishes. You can also get hurt.
Cutting board
Few people know, but such an item has its own expiration date. It is advisable to change such a thing every six months.
But how do you know when it's time to throw out a cutting board? Here you need to focus on its appearance. If the surface is deformed, there is a smell, then it's time to send the item for disposal.
Expired spices
Over time, the seasoning turns into tasteless dust that only causes harm. Therefore, it is important to focus on the expiration date when using spices.
Open wine
An open bottle of white wine can stand for only 3 days, red – up to two weeks. Then the remaining liquid will taste more like wine vinegar.
