Sponge in the freezer, an alternative solution
Why on earth would we put the dishwashing sponge in the freezer? Definitely not to achieve a better result when washing dishes. In fact, for the use that we are going to make of it, it is advisable to use a new sponge . Even if it is new, it is advisable to first wash it to soften it and, while we are at it, to disinfect it thoroughly. Once this is done, get an airtight food bag and place the sponge in it, which you can then put in the freezer.
Depending on the cooling time of your device , in a short time you will have transformed a simple dishwashing sponge into something really useful , i.e. a homemade “instant ice cream”, useful for both bruises and fever, or even for maintaining the temperature in the cooler.
In this way we obtain a versatile and completely recyclable object , since, unlike the cooling gels available on the market, the sponge can be “thawed” at any time to be used for washing dishes or cleaning surfaces or tiles at home. In addition, its small size makes it very convenient to store it in the freezer without limiting the space allotted for the food. And if we use the sponge with detergent when washing dishes, why don’t we put it in the fridge too?
Detergent in the freezer
Just like the sponge, dishwashing detergent is also very useful when frozen. It can always be easily poured into an airtight bag and then placed in the freezer to create an item very similar to bags of cooling gel. Also in this case we have a useful product for various needs that has much less impact on the environment around us.
