The sponge used for washing dishes is a wonderful thing. You can easily clean all kinds of stains on dirty utensils with the help of a sponge. But there is a point related to the sponge which worries almost everyone. That is, the sponge gets spoiled within a few days, due to which we have to buy new ones again and again. Learn in this article how you can keep the sponge new for a long time.
Fold the sponge as little as possible
While cleaning the utensils, we often fold the sponge from the middle. By doing this nothing happens for 2-3 days but after that, the sponge gets cracked. It would be right that you use the sponge from the corner to clean the corners of the utensils and bend them as little as possible.
These tips will remove the smell of sponge
To remove the smell coming from the sponge, always clean it. Some people, after washing the dishes with a sponge, leave it without washing, due to which the smell of the dirt on the sponge gets absorbed in it. Whenever you wash the dishes, wash the sponge with clean water and squeeze the water as much as possible.
If you wash the sponge like this, it will not get spoiled
The sponge is yellow and green but due to the dirt on it, it becomes very dirty after a while. If you are also troubled by the same problem, then heat half a glass of water to wash the sponge. After the water becomes hot, put the sponge in it. The sponge in the warm water will lift off all the dirt. After this wash it with clean water and keep it dry.
What to do if the smell does not go away
Even after doing all this, if the smell of the sponge does not go away, then keep it in the sun for some time. By keeping it in the sun, the sponge dries well and the smell inside it reduces considerably.
