Dr. Daniel Pompa, a doctor and content creator, has gone viral after sharing what he considers to be the kitchen’s “biggest” bacterial spreader.
Pompa says your worst enemy in the kitchen is none other than your dish sponge! He then proceeded to show viewers a blue sponge in the kitchen sink. He then demonstrated washing a glass with the sponge.
Essentially, every time you pick up a glass and do this, you’re spreading bacteria. And the older these get, the worse they become. It’s a “different story” if you’re switching out the sponge every one to two days. But realistically that’s not what we do, is it?
To conclude, he recommended a silicone device to wash dishes, which he claims can be sterilized in the dishwasher.
