How to Clean Kitchen Sponges

Have you ever considered how many bacteria and fungi live in your kitchen sponge? Most people use kitchen sponges to clean a number of dishes and surfaces daily, and finally just rinse well their kitchen sponges and think that this is enough to remove all dirt and grime accumulated. It's not enough! There are two efficient methods to clean your kitchen sponge efficiently.

Method 1: For deep cleaning your kitchen sponge make a cleaning solution of ½ cup white vinegar, 1 cup of hot water and 3 tablespoons of salt. Soak the sponge in it for several hours or overnight. Vinegar and salt will kill all bacteria and make your kitchen sponge a safe cleaning tool. However, squeeze the kitchen sponge well and rinse it under running water till all absorbed liquid is removed. It's important to do this procedure regularly and of course change your sponge once a week with a new one. Otherwise, bacteria and fungi can spread around your kitchen and make it unsafe for your family.

Method 2: Soak your kitchen sponge with water and place it in your microwave. Turn the microwave on High for 2 minutes. Ensure that you are in the kitchen till the 2 minutes are gone, because there is a slight chance the sponge to burst into flames. There is no need to worry, it's really slightly possible according to cleaning London experts.

It doesn't matter whether you choose the first or second cleaning method, just make sure that you clean your kitchen sponge regularly.
