Five clever uses of your kitchen sponge you did not try before

Five clever uses of your kitchen sponge you did not try before| TheNewsTribe.com

Are you feeling that your kitchen sponge is going to be expired and planning to throw it away? Don’t do this as it is against our customs. Use it till it actually gets expired and its monetary value is balanced by its use.

Here are a few smart uses of your kitchen sponge you were not aware of before.

Helpful in Fever

It can be used to wash away the fever. Rinse a clean sponge in cool water and apply to your forehead, back, nape of your neck, or wherever else you feel flushed.  As the water evaporates, your body will cool down.

Saves soap

Ever noticed the gloppy mess your soap makes in the bottom of the dish after several uses? Rest your soap on a sponge instead. It wicks away moisture and leaves your soap clean and ready to use.

Keeps the vegetables clean

Place a few new kitchen sponges in your crisper drawer and squeeze them out after they’ve absorbed excess moisture. This will keep your veggies extra crisp.

Help your Houseplants

Sometimes leaf shine products can clog pores and actually harm your houseplants.  Instead, use water and a wet sponge to get that desired shine.

Mini ice pack

Regular-sized ice packs can be too big and cold for small-sized bumps and bruises. For child-sized ice packs, cut a sponge into a few pieces, soak in water and freeze.
