Dishwashing sponges are often exposed to stains, so there is a risk of germs and bacteria growing on them. Not to mention, this kitchen tool is often left damp in the kitchen, which makes it easy for germs to breed. Usually, a dirty sponge is characterized by its odor or appearance that is starting to become dirty.
One way to prevent germs from growing on sponges is to clean them regularly and store them dry.

" Thanks for the info sis, but I'm a team that washes dishes immediately after eating/cooking (just wash them a little bit), I can imagine if I had to wash them a little bit, rinse them with hot water and rinse them, " said TikTok @ACT.
" So, after washing the dishes, I just squeeze the sponge until it's dry so it doesn't smell & there aren't a lot of germs, " said TikTok @illy.
" You want to use a sponge or coir, as long as you finish using it, rinse it clean, don't soak it in the remaining soapy water to wash cooking and eating utensils ," said TikTok @Tyasmissyou.
