A dishwashing sponge is one of the most popular accessories, so you need to know the rules of use.
As it turns out, even experienced housewives make mistakes.
What are the main mistakes?
Use for general cleaning
For some surfaces, a sponge will do, but for others, it's best to leave it alone. It's better to use microfiber as a general-purpose cleaning accessory, especially when it comes to delicate surfaces.
Long-term use
You shouldn't use a sponge for washing dishes for more than seven days: after that, it can simply become dangerous to your health. The fact is that sponges for dishes become a real source of germs.
Wet storage
The sponge will become a source of harmful microorganisms much sooner if you store it wet. Therefore, try to squeeze out excess water from the accessory as best as possible.
"Second" life
Sometimes housewives use a sponge faithfully for a week, but then do not throw it away: it gets a "second life". They start using it for cleaning.
However, in this case, you are simply spreading germs throughout the entire apartment.
