Why do you need to trim the corner from the kitcheny sponge?

Not so long ago, studies were conducted, which once again confirmed the fact that a sponge for washing the dishes should be changed at least once a week. Even if you are thoroughly rinse it after use with soda, vinegar or other means.

And even after you disinfect it in a microwave oven (yes, there is such a way). All these procedures are not able to completely destroy a huge number of bacteria that have time to accumulate in a sponge during use. In fact, no more than 60% is destroyed.

However, the sponges are not free, as you can throw out almost new looks with a sponge, the hand will not rise!

If you can not force yourself to throw out the kitchen sink, cut it off the corner and do not use the dishes anymore.

Why do it? Just not to confuse and not start her wash dishes again.

A sponge with a cropped corner will remain in the farm, but you will no longer wash her dishes, wipe the stove or worktop. She will serve for other purposes.

Cut corner is a distinctive sign that all family members will know about.

Keep such a sponge under the sink and use when you need to wipe the garbage bucket, toilet, wheels of a baby carriage or bike or dirty boots. In this case, the sponge will no longer sorry, because it will serve 100%
