Kitchen sponges get dirty fast—that's expected when they're tackling grime all day. But before you toss that worn-out sponge, try this simple method to restore it. As cleaning enthusiasts know, a quick soak in sodium percarbonate can breathe new life into it.
The process takes just 2 hours and uses everyday ingredients for reliable results.
1. Pour 250 ml of hot water into a bowl.
2. Add 1 tablespoon of sodium percarbonate.
3. Immerse the sponge in this mixture.
4. Let it soak for at least two hours.
5. Rinse the sponge with clean water.
And there you have it! Your old sponge is revived and ready for more use. It can serve you reliably for much longer, saving you money on replacements—especially handy given sponge prices.
For larger sponges, simply double the amounts of water and sodium percarbonate.
