Dishwashing sponge, add salt before use: the secret of housewives

First of all, it is a good habit to always clean the sponge after you have finished washing the dishes. The procedure is very simple, just rinse the sponge under running water and remove the excess soap. Then put some dish soap and white vinegar on the rough side of the suet and mix the two ingredients well, making a good lather all over the sponge. Then rinse the sponge well, wring it out and prepare your sink for what is a real routine that you should repeat often.

Use salt to disinfect
Place the still-damp sponge cake in your chosen container and cover it with fine salt. Then add a little previously boiled water to completely cover the surface and let it soak for at least 15 minutes. After this time, remove the sponge from the basin and let it dry in the sun. By doing this your sponge will be completely disinfected and free of bacteria, germs or fungi.

To maintain good hygiene, depending on its use, it would be useful to repeat this procedure every 15-20 days, in order to always keep the dishwashing sponge properly cleaned and disinfected.
