We use a kitchen scourer not only to scrub dishes or dirty surfaces, but it also has many other interesting applications, e.g. when placed in laundry, it effectively collects hair. However, in order for it to be hygienically clean and fulfill its function, it should be changed even every few days. If you don’t like generating a lot of waste, instead of buying more items, you can make your own homemade dish cleaner.

What can we do to make the sponge serve us longer? Forget about ready-made products
Although the sponge helps keep things tidy, it gets dirty and deteriorates quickly. If you want it to last a little longer, never leave it wet in the sink, especially not when there are dirty dishes in it. After use, always wash it gently with dishwashing liquid, squeeze out excess water and set it aside to dry, and it will last for up to two weeks. Instead, you can also replace it with a more durable model that you can make yourself.
A simple way to make a homemade dish sponge. You only need two products
You can make a homemade sponge quickly and for free. All you need to do is use a piece of old curtain or tulle skirt and a string or rubber band. Cut a strip of fabric approximately 80 cm long and 10-15 cm wide, then fold it into an accordion. When you’re done, bring both ends of the string together, tie it through the middle of the rolled up fabric, and tighten securely. Now all you need to do is ruffle the tulle in such a way that its appearance and shape will resemble a washer. However, instead of in the bathtub, use it in the kitchen. It will restore the shine to your dishes in a quick, simple and ecological way. What’s more, you can wash it, so it will stay clean and fresh for longer.
Where to throw away dish sponges? The answer is not obvious
Even though traditional dish sponges are made entirely of plastic, they should not be thrown into the yellow containers where plastics are stored. All because during use, a large amount of organic matter that cannot be washed or rinsed is deposited on its surface.. For this reason it should be disposed of as mixed waste. It is worth knowing that it can take up to 500 years to decompose. This is another argument for not using store-bought scourers anymore and instead using home-made ones.
