Here’s my secret:

Buy Sponges in Bulk

Cut into three.

Put ’em in a pail.

Grab a new one every couple/few days. When necessary.

I make this a “5 minute project”;
then I can reach for a new sponge anytime!

First impression may be: “umm… They’re kinda small”.

They’re about two or three fingers in width.

Just the right size for scrubbing caked on spots.

A few months worth of sponges;
I keep them under the sink; ready to grab!

Less to use.

Less to throw away.

Less money spent.

Under $20 a year and it’s sanitary.

Take the savings and spend it on a family fun adventure!
