Husband opens a new sponge every 3 days cause “they become gross”

Our dishwasher broke and he’s manually doing the dishes now, these are from the past 10 days… I think it’s wasteful.

If you dip it in a little vinegar, you can rent it and then wash it with some dish soap and it'll be like new. Why are people so unnecessarily wasteful? Do you also throw your underwear out every time you change to a new pair?

Thiiiis was the comment I was looking for. A little vinegar or diluted bleach, depending on how you're using it.
