✱ 7 – Your Kitchen Sponge
A used kitchen sponge is full of bacteria from old food or your dirty hands, or from the toilet not being covered when flushed. The sponge grabs the bacteria and then it grows. The best thing to do is to either toss it away weekly or to throw the sponge into a solution that includes bleach. Don’t microwave it or throw it in the washer as that could make it worse.
