June 3, 2007 | Kitchen, Cleaning tips
I just read that your kitchen sponge - the one you use to wash your dishes - has more bacteria in it that your toilet seat. Eww! The good news? There are 2 simple ways to clean it!
- Throw it in the dishwasher when you’re ready to run it.
- When you’re done washing dishes, rinse it, wring it, and zap it in the microwave for 30 seconds.
Really! It’s that simple. Use either method and get rid of that bacteria! We also use 2 different sponges in the kitchen - one for dishes and countertops, and one for floor spills. That way we never get the gunk from the floor spread around our counters and dishes.� And make sure you clean your sponge after you’ve used it to clean up raw meat spills or raw eggs. No sense putting your family at risk via sponge!
And consider replacing it now and then - if you’re still using the same sponge you had when Reagan was president, it’s probably past its prime.� We’d recommend replacing your sponge every 2 months actually.
