When visiting an experienced housewife, you may notice several kitchen sponges with a cut-off corner.
At the same time, all other foam products will most likely remain intact.
For what reason do cunning women leave some lips without an “ear”?
Why cut off the corner of the sponge
This is done in order to somehow distinguish one sponge from another.
The fact is that not all foam products are used in the kitchen for washing dishes.
Many similar devices are used for wiping down certain surfaces (countertops, sinks, refrigerators, cabinets, tables, etc.).
Of course, one sponge cannot be used for different purposes.
That is why experienced housewives immediately divide new foam products into two categories - “for dishes” and “for cleaning”.
The corners of all sponges that belong to one of these groups are cut off.
Thanks to such a clear distinctive feature, it is practically impossible to confuse one product with another.
Of course, sponges can be distinguished by colors. But there is a problem: the products will have to be changed very often, so the information will quickly become irrelevant. Therefore, it is better to cut off the corners, rather than remember the colors.
