How do you wash Dish Sponges?

Why would Dish Sponges be degrading?
They are made from cellulose, so they are designed to break down. Trapped moisture, scrubbing rough surfaces and harsh chemicals speed it up. Replace one when it smells, crumbles or stops absorbing. →
How long should Dish Sponges last for?
Up to about 5 weeks with proper care. Rinsing, wringing gently and drying fully between uses is what gets you there. Replace sooner if a sponge smells, crumbles, or stops absorbing. →
