Here is a better and cleaner way to wash dishes. Instead of using a sponge that will spread germs from one place to another use a dish rag. A clean one for every new job around the kitchen. Now, you might think that is a waste of money buying all these rags and even waste of water to wash them all, but here are some tips.
- When you have old towels, hand towels or other, cut them to size and use them for dish rags. This goes the same for using them as dusting rags. You can also use socks that are missing a partner, old cotton shirts and so on.
- Get a separate laundry basket or something similar to place your rags that are used to wash dishes. Kitchen rags are greasy and you don't want them mixed in with your clothes.
- Before placing them in said laundry basket let them dry, so you don't get moldy rags.
- At the end of the week you can wash them. Use the hottest and longest setting for your rags to ensure they will be clean.
- Use the plastic mesh bags that carry oranges and onions as a scrubber. Just place the rag inside the bag, tie it off and your ready to go.
- After you are finished just hang it to dry. See, you are recycling already. :D
that's a really clever idea!
