Sponges used for washing dishes accumulate a huge number of microbes and serve as an ideal breeding ground for them.
Some of them can easily cause poisoning. Therefore, you should not wipe forks, plates or food products with dirty sponges.
It is important to follow some simple rules when using such items.
How to store sponges
They should only be kept dry.
After each use, the sponges must be thoroughly washed and wrung out to ensure that no food or dirt remains on them.
How often should you change your dish sponge?
It is advisable to change such things once a week for new ones.
In addition, you should pay attention to whether there is a smell from the sponge. If it appears too early, then such an item should be thrown away as soon as possible. This is a clear sign that harmful bacteria have begun to spread inside.
This sponge should not be used in the kitchen anymore, for example, you can't wipe a table or countertop with it. In this case, you can only spread germs.
