THIS IS NOT MY TIP. I BORROWED IT FROM THETOOLTIPOFFICAL ON TIKTOK. I felt it is a really good one to pass on. Watch the video and you will see how a sponge can collect hair and lint from your clothing while in the washing machine! I will say, I’ve always thrown dirty sponges in the washing machine to clean them. They did collect lint, but I never realized how useful this can be (especially if you forget to check pockets and there’s a tissue in side one!!!).
