Do you know that the kitchen sponge becomes a haven of all sorts of bacteria after cleaning things like cutting board and countertops!

Yes, that is true, so you need to replace kitchen sponge continuously or rinse it correctly to can reuse in your daily kitchen cleaning again.

How often you use your kitchen sponge how often you should replace it. If you cook at home most nights and wash all your dishes, pots, and pans with that sponge, you should get a new one every other week.

 If you’re more the take-out, dining-out type, or if you have a dishwasher that does the heavy lifting, you should still replace it every month.

 Even if you’re not using it every night, it still gets damp and dirty, and it’s still breeding bacteria.

How to keep your sponge clean:

1. After doing the dishes, rinse your sponge thoroughly in hot and then cold water, squeeze out as much water as possible and set it outside of the sink (near your soap bottle, perhaps).

2. Never leave your sponge in the sink or in water.
