A dish sponge seems like such a basic item that it seems impossible to make mistakes when using the accessory.
However, it only seems that way.
As it turns out, many people make mistakes when using the sponge.
Which of these are the most common?
Microwave oven
A method for removing harmful microorganisms from sponges using a microwave oven has become quite popular. However, it is not worth using.
Firstly, the microbes will still survive. Secondly, the sponge will simply become toxic.
Humidity
It is worth remembering that a humid environment is ideal for the active reproduction of microorganisms. If you forget to squeeze the sponge properly after use, the number of microbes will increase.
Therefore, always squeeze the accessory.
Duration of use
This is the most common mistake: we simply use the sponge for too long. The absence of an unpleasant smell and a decent appearance do not always indicate that the sponge can still be used.
It is best to change it every seven days.
