Washing Dishes

What do you use to wash your dishes? Sponge? Scour pad? Scotch pad? Brush?

How do you “clean” it once you are done with your dishes?

How often do you change it? How do you ensure it doesn’t smell and leave your hands and dishes stinky?

I’ve used everything, but they all end up smelling within a week or two even though I rinse and set them to dry every time I’m done washing dishes :/. I hate having to buy a new one every two weeks.

Looking for tips!

Re: Washing Dishes

I use dish washer but prefer washing it with sponge if dishes are really few.

Pre soak your dishes in warm soapy water. That will remove enough grime from them for your sponge not to start smelling soon

Re: Washing Dishes

its meant to be replaced every two weeks.
I use two methods
1: rinse the soap out well then soak it in 1:4 soln of bleach. if bleach makes you nervous u can replace with white vinegar (1:1)
2. soak sponge in large bowel (microwave safe) of water …and microwave till your water boils. sometimes i add 1/2 lemon to the water too.
