If you thought running your kitchen sponge in the dishwasher with the wash disinfected it, you’re WRONG! Scientists proved that actually adds up to 6 times as much bacteria to the sponge!!! Who knew? The sponge resists the sanitation and resistant bacteria survive and recolonize with MORE bugs! HORRORS!!! The best thing to do is replace your sponge twice a month! It may be costly, but it’s safer! Get yours at the Dollar Store and it will lessen the price considerably!
