Question 1

How do I wash a dish scrubber?

Accepted Answer

First, be sure to remove any food particles left behind after cleaning. In the case that there's grease left behind simply apply some dish detergent on the bristles. Then proceed to run them under hot water before drying. Be sure to sanitize them using vinegar periodically.

Question 2

How often should I clean dish scrubbing tools?

Accepted Answer

First, that pretty much depends on the type of scrubbing tool you are using. The most common is the sponge and since it traps bacteria quite easily be sure to soak it in the dishwasher every time you are running a cycle. Alternatively, soak it in a mixture of hot water and bleach to get rid of any residual bacteria. Brushes, on the other hand, do not need to be cleaned as often since they dry faster and are a lot easier to clean.

Question 3

How often should I change my scrubber?

Accepted Answer

That is dependent on the frequency of its use. If you wash your dishes at least once a day, then 30 uses are about enough for you to call a time of death on your sponge. Brushes, on the other hand, can be used for up to 6 months but once the bristles start looking worn out, that’s probably a tell-tale sign.
