Why You Need To Snip Off Just One Corner Of Your Kitchen Sponge - Tasting Table

When your sponge becomes so dirty and full of bacteria that it's potentially dangerous, consider repurposing it by cutting off a corner. This helps you distinguish an everyday utility sponge from one used for dishes. Store your clipped sponges away from the kitchen sink, separate from the sponge you use to wash dishes. That way you won't be tempted to grab it by accident, nor will anyone else.
