How to Keep Kitchen Sponges Clean

Sponges work well for cleaning, but also are a breeding ground for germs.
Use your dish sponge only for the dishes and avoid keeping a sponge for wiping down counters.
Instead, use paper towel sparingly, or consider using bar cloths or wash cloths to wipe counters.
Using cloths is a more economical and environmentally friendly option compared to paper towel use.
Simply wash them in hot water with a bit of bleach to ensure they are disinfected.
