1. Wet the sponge: Start by wetting the sponge under running water. This will help to soften it and make it easier to use.
2. Apply dish soap: Apply a small amount of dish soap onto the wet sponge. You can either squeeze the soap directly onto the sponge or pour a little soap onto a nearby dish or into the sink and then dip the sponge into it.
3. Create a lather: Gently squeeze and rub the sponge together to create a lather. This will help to spread the soap across the surface of the sponge.
4. Clean the dishes: Use the sponge to scrub your dirty dishes, glasses, utensils, or any other items that need to be cleaned. Apply gentle pressure and use circular or back-and-forth motions to remove food particles, grease, and stains.
5. Rinse the dishes: After scrubbing, rinse the dishes under running water to remove any soap residue. Make sure to rinse both sides of the items thoroughly.
6. Rinse the sponge: Once you are done cleaning the dishes, rinse the sponge under running water to remove soap and food particles. Squeeze it a few times to ensure a thorough rinse.
7. Squeeze out excess water: Squeeze out any excess water from the sponge to prevent it from becoming waterlogged and to help it dry faster. You can do this by firmly pressing the sponge between your palms or against the side of the sink.
8. Store the sponge: Place the sponge in a well-ventilated area where it can air-dry completely. It’s important to store the sponge in a clean and dry location to prevent the growth of bacteria and mildew.

Remember to replace your dishwashing sponge regularly, as they can harbor bacteria and become less effective over time.
