The sponge for washing dishes, which is often referred to as sponge scrubbing or dishcloth, is easy to get dirty and lose its elasticity due to long-term use and contact with oil. In order to keep it clean and prolong its life, it needs to be cleaned regularly. Let's learn how to clean the dishwashing sponge.
First of all, we need to prepare some cleaning tools and materials. A basin, a bag of edible soda, a bottle of vinegar and a dishwashing sponge.
Place the basin under the faucet, add the appropriate amount of water, and place the sponge in the basin.
Add an appropriate amount of edible alkali, and then gently stir with your hands to dissolve the edible alkali in the water. Edible alkali can decompose oil stains and has a good decontamination ability.
After waiting a few minutes, gently scrub the sponge with your hands to wash away the oil and stains. Be careful not to use too much force to avoid damaging the sponge.
Add an appropriate amount of vinegar, stir well again, and continue to scrub the sponge. Vinegar has a good bactericidal effect and can remove bacteria and odors from the sponge.
Finally, rinse the sponge thoroughly under running water and let it dry in a ventilated place.
With the above steps, we can easily wash the sponge of the dishwasher. In daily life, we can also use the dishwasher or hand wash for cleaning, but be careful not to use too much detergent to avoid damage to the sponge. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the regular replacement of the dishwashing sponge to ensure hygiene and safety.
