How to wash Dish Sponges

Quick hand wash: Rinse the sponge under running water, add a little dishwashing liquid, rub to remove soil, then rinse and wring gently.

Machine wash (recommended for regular refresh):

1. Place sponges inside a laundry/wash bag to protect them and your machine.
2. Wash on a cold or delicate cycle (up to ~30°C).
3. Use Sensitive Laundry Sheets, avoid bleach or fabric softener.

Drying & storage

• Wring out excess water (don’t twist aggressively) and allow the sponge to air-dry between uses.
• Direct sunlight helps drying and keeps the sponge fresher where practical.

Quick tips

• If a sponge dries out, re-hydrate it under the tap before use.
• Replace the sponge when it becomes excessively worn or develops an odour.
