It is a fact that there are many objects in the house that are considered more "dirty" and if you do not pay attention to them can become dangerous to your health.
This is because they collect a lot of germs and bacteria.
One of these items is the dish sponge. By now we knew that just because it collects a lot of bacteria, we should change it at regular intervals and not wait until it becomes useless.
According to experts, new bacteria grow on the dish sponge every 20 minutes. Even if you rinse it with hot water, you do not get much and if you do not disinfect it, every time you wash the dishes, what you do is transfer the bacteria to them without actually cleaning them.
In fact, experts recommend that sponges be discarded at least weekly, especially if you only wash dishes by hand. However, do not forget to wash it thoroughly with water immediately after use, so that no residue remains in it. Drain well, before placing in the box.
