They say that you shouldn't skimp on dishwashing sponges, because they accumulate so many bacteria that you can't even count them under the rim of the toilet.
But no one wants to throw away a sponge after one use if it has dough residue stuck to it or grease accumulated on it.
Let's figure out whether it is possible to wash a dishwashing sponge.
The hardest part is getting rid of the dough and fat residue. But there is a way that will extend the life of the item and save money.
How to proceed
1. Nothing could be easier if you have a dishwasher.
Place it along with the dirty dishes on the top rack and start the program.
This way you can wash away dirt and get rid of ubiquitous bacteria thanks to the high temperature.
2. This option can be used by housewives who have not yet acquired this type of household appliance.
The method is fast and proven.
You will need a bowl or basin into which you need to pour 3/4 cup of chlorine bleach and pour in 4 liters of hot water.
Mix the ingredients and add sponges and other kitchen rags.
After 5 minutes, rinse in running water, squeeze out and dry.
3. Another way to clean your sponge is to use a microwave.
Wet the sponge, place it on a plate in the oven for one minute and turn on the appliance at maximum power.
