Lesson Overview

26.9 – Sanitizing Sponges and Cleaning Cloths: Sanitizing sponges and cleaning cloths stops germs from spreading and keeps your kitchen truly clean. Bacteria thrive in damp, dirty cloths, even when they look fine. Rinse sponges after each use and wring them out completely to prevent moisture buildup. Microwave damp sponges for one minute or soak them in a bleach solution weekly to disinfect. Wash reusable cloths with hot water and detergent, then dry thoroughly before reuse. Replace old or smelly sponges promptly. Keep separate cloths for dishes, counters, and floors to avoid cross-contamination. Store cleaning items in well-ventilated areas to help them dry faster. A sanitized cleaning routine makes every surface safer, proving that hygiene doesn’t stop with visible cleanliness—it continues through the tools that keep your home healthy.
