Dish washing sponges are very useful for helping clean cooking utensils, cutlery, and even the sink. However, it is best to clean dishwashing sponges regularly so they don't accumulate germs. Here's how to clean a dishwashing sponge that you can try at home.

1. Soak in cleaning solution.

Soak a sponge in a solution of warm water with a few drops of dishwashing liquid or detergent. Let the sponge soak for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.

2. Microwave.

Dampen the sponge with water, making sure there are no food residues stuck to it. Place the sponge in the microwave and heat for 1-2 minutes on high power. This process can kill many germs on the sponge. Make sure the sponge is wet before putting it in the microwave to prevent a fire.

3. Soak in disinfectant solution.

Make a disinfectant solution using bleach or other cleaning fluid that contains active germ-killing ingredients. Soak the sponge in this solution for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.

4. Replace regularly.

Dishwashing sponges should be replaced regularly, for example every week or two weeks, depending on how often they are used. Regular replacement will help prevent excessive germ buildup.
