Sponges are the most convenient accessory for washing dishes and cleaning, so they are in every home.
The product cannot be called expensive, but not all housewives change them in a timely manner.
Some people use a sponge for an unacceptably long time, believing that it is safe and practical.
Why you can't use an accessory for a long time
If you use a sponge for dishes for a long time, it can cause health problems, which is very serious.
Over time, the accessory can become a real "home" for E. coli and salmonella. There is no need to explain what this can lead to.
Even if you perform regular cleaning (using soap solution, microwave oven and other methods), it is not enough. Spores can still remain inside the accessory.
How often should you change your sponge?
Even if you treat the sponge in a timely manner with appropriate methods, you need to replace the accessory in a timely manner. It is believed that the sponge remains safe for a week with proper care.
Afterwards it needs to be replaced.
