Take a moment and think of the dirtiest things in your home…
What comes to mind?
Your toilet… your floors… your bathtub… or maybe even your TV remote?
Those can all certainly be riddled with germs and bacteria when not cleaned on a regular basis.
But according to a new study, there’s something else in your home – and it’s something you likely use every day – that is much, much FILTHIER!
Trust me, you’ll be as shocked as I was when you find out what it is…
The KITCHEN SPONGE: A Breeding Ground for Bacteria
Go take a quick look at your kitchen sponge…
It probably looks clean… and you probably used it recently to clean some of your dishes.
But looks can be deceiving!
According to a study out of Duke University, the average kitchen sponge is littered with more bacterial species than a lab Petri dish.
GROSS!
But this filth actually has nothing to do with how dirty your kitchen is…

This Food Could Be Growing Deadly Tumors
It’s unfortunately due to the design of the typical sponge.
Most sponges are packed with countless crevices where germs can hide, allowing different types of bacteria to grow and multiply.
But these hard-to-reach areas of the sponge also allow for some bacteria to live ‘alone’ and make themselves nice and cozy.
The study referred to the varied ‘living conditions’ for bacteria as multilevel portioning.
In other words, the sponge is like a dream home for germs and bacteria!
But here’s the deal…
There’s no good reason to completely stop using a sponge. You just need to take some simple steps to eradicate the bacteria from multiplying (and ending up on your dishes).
It’s always a good practice to replace your sponge on a regular basis. But depending on how much you use it, you need to do more.
My go-to practice for a clean sponge is to run it through the dishwasher – preferably on a sanitize cycle (if your dishwasher has one).
The heat and jets from your dishwasher will thoroughly kill the bacteria living in your sponge – without you having to lay a finger on it.
After a cycle in the dishwasher, just be sure to squeeze out any excess water sitting in the sponge.
