Leave a dishwashing sponge in your freezer, what happens is unexpected

Why should we leave a dishwashing sponge in the freezer? Here is the secondary benefit that few people know about.

We all know the classic dishwashing sponge, the yellow-green one, which consists of a soft side and an abrasive side. We often use it for washing and degreasing dishes, cleaning the bathroom or many other surfaces and objects. Its main purpose is generally cleaning. But there is another, completely unexpected way to use it. Let’s find out together.

The dishwashing sponge

Yellow and green dish sponges  are very common and very versatile and can be found in virtually every kitchen. These sponges, used primarily in the kitchen for washing dishes, have a softer side, usually yellow, and a rougher side, green. There are also other colors and different shapes on the market, but  the composition always includes a larger, softer part and a thinner, rougher part  . Thanks to their structure, they are perfect for different types of cleaning, both in the kitchen and in other domestic and non-domestic environments.

The soft side is ideal for gentle soaping and cleaning, while the rough side is particularly effective for removing stubborn dirt, for example from pots and pans. Essential for effective cleaning, these sponges are  a valuable tool for simplifying dishwashing and more  , especially when combined with soap or a degreaser. But like the many items that populate our homes, these sponges have an alternative use by putting them in the freezer.
