The sponge for washing dishes in the dishwasher.
We reveal a trick that saves us money and allows us to disinfect our dish sponge; freeing it from germs and bacteria. Yes, that is correct. Things you won’t believe. If we put the dishwashing sponge inside the dishwasher before starting it, we will obtain a unique result that will leave us speechless. Our sponge will not only be sanitized but also degreased and scented. In fact, it is very important to clean the dish sponge. Research tells us that it is the first instrument in the house in which germs and bacteria swarm more than anything else.
That is why they advise us to change it every 7 days. So, in order not to buy it so frequently and, therefore, not burden ourselves with this expense, we use our everyday “friend” to sterilize our sponge. Guaranteed result! Additionally, using the dishwasher to clean the sponge can also reduce the amount of detergent and water needed to clean it manually. This translates into savings from both an economic and environmental point of view, since fewer chemicals are used and water consumption is reduced.
