Before starting the wash, some housewives throw a clean kitchen sponge into the machine drum.

There is a point to this action: the soft material makes things cleaner.

However, there is an important caveat. You should pay attention to the life hack only in one case.

In most other situations, the trick simply won't work.

When should things be washed with a sponge?

This life hack only makes sense for pet owners.

In other words, you should only wash your clothes with a sponge if a lot of hair constantly appears on your wardrobe items.

A product designed for washing dishes will “unstick” hairs from clothes and “stick” them to itself.

As a result, the wardrobe items will be washed much better. But the sponge will get seriously dirty: it will have to be thrown away. However, there is nothing terrible about this: the product is cheap.

It is worth emphasizing that a kitchen sponge is great for removing hair from coats and denim items.

Important: Before putting the sponge in the drum of the washing machine, you need to remove the hard strip from the product. Only foam rubber should be used.

Earlier we told you why you should rub your toilet with bay leaf .
