A dish sponge is the item that can be called the dirtiest in the house.
Although there is constant contact with detergents and water, this does not help.
Various harmful bacteria multiply rapidly in the material.
Therefore, you should change the sponge as often as possible to avoid harming your health.
But some housewives simply feel sorry to throw away the sponge after a week. They prefer to boil and rinse the item with soda and vinegar. But this still won't kill even half of the germs.
In this case, you can come up with a new use for the sponge. To do this, you just need to cut off its corner and send it to serve other purposes. And this procedure is necessary so as not to confuse the sponge with a new and clean one.
In the future, such an item will be suitable for cleaning plumbing, bicycles or shoes.
The main thing is that the sponge has nothing to do with food or dishes.
