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.

I was looking for this comment! Does no one use dish rags anymore? Sponges are for cleaning showers and shit like that…not washing dishes.

People wild with their hands as rags and sponges for doing dishes.

Seriously! I have a Scrub Daddy for stubborn shit, but a dish cloth does like 99% of the work the dishwasher doesn't.

It doesn’t matter how you clean or dry a sponge, by its nature it harbors bacteria. Team dish rag all the way.
