Dear MEL Topic Readers,
A sponge may not be the most hygienic way to clean dishes, study suggests, but there is an alternative
A sponge is one of the most popular tools in the kitchen to wash dishes. It is inexpensive, easy to use, and handy. However, a recent study found that harmful bacteria survive better in sponges than in brushes. The main reason is that the sponge is wet after use, which is a favorable condition for bacteria to grow rapidly. Also, a sponge tends to accumulate food residues that feed bacteria. So, if you use a sponge, try drying it up after use. Another hygienic way is to use a dish brush instead, which easily dries up quite fast. Also, the handle of a dish brush allows you to avoid direct hand contact with harmful bacteria. But if you still prefer using a sponge, make sure to dry it after use or replace it frequently before it is contaminated.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about a more hygienic way to wash the dishes.
