Throwing away a sponge: ❌
Cutting off the layer of ick so it can last longer: ✅
Or just use your aging sponges in a rotating lifecycle. I have 4 stages/sponges at one time that slowly get demoted as they age.
-
New sponge only gets light jobs. Scrapped clean dishes, pans that just need the oil washed off.
-
Middle stage wear is used for stuck on foods and generally more gross dishes.
-
Not usable for dishes, but good for counter/stove tops.
-
Dirty jobs. Nothing food related. Floors, bathrooms, use with disinfectants.
Yep have done this for years. Cut a corner off a sponge each time it enters its next life phase so you can easily identity the phase it's in by the way it looks.
i like this system
