If porous things like certain ceramics are bad to use because they trap and grow bacteria, how come we can use the same sponges for things like washing our body and for dishes?
In: Biology
Also sponges and body scrubbers are completely filled with germs. The fact we reuse them so often and for so long just shows how clueless most humans are about what’s nasty and what isn’t.
Kitchen sponges hold more bacteria than any other surface in your home.
“Loofah-style body sponges are intimate with many unclean areas of the body and then sit around allowing bacteria to multiply within the nooks and crannies of the sponge.” Think about it: the warm, moist environment of a shower is a paradise for germs. Using a loofah is basically providing bacteria with a free ride to your skin.
