LIFE HACKS
YOUR KITCHEN SPONGE IS TRYING TO KILL YOU
“Alright… I’m about to ruin your morning coffee.
Your kitchen sponge — that innocent little yellow thing — is basically a hotel for bacteria. I’m talking more bacteria than your toilet seat. WAY more. Scientists swabbed sponges and found… wait for it… 362 different species living inside. It’s a full bacterial HOA in there.
Here’s the hack:
Stop using the same sponge all week. Cut it into four squares. Boom — one sponge becomes four. Use one square a day, then toss it. No sentimentality.
AND — once a week, microwave a damp sponge piece for one minute to kill 99% of the nasties. Just make sure it’s wet or you’ll torch your house.
There you go:
Your kitchen sponge is trying to kill you… but not on your watch.”
