Do you have old kitchen sponges and think they are no longer useful? Think again! These little wonders can work miracles for your plants. Yes, yes, you read that right! And what’s more, it’s a great way to recycle.
“The best ideas are often the simplest.”
Step by Step to Recycle Your Sponges
Preparation and Disinfection of Used Sponges
Here’s how:
Washing and disinfecting:
Wash the sponge in hot water: This will remove any dirt and food debris.
Disinfect it with vinegar or baking soda:
Vinegar: Fill a container with vinegar and soak the sponge for 24 hours.
Baking soda: Mix baking soda with water to form a solution, and soak the sponge for 24 hours.
Alternative: You can also use bleach to disinfect the sponge, but vinegar and baking soda are gentler on the environment.
Cutting:
Squeeze the sponge to remove any accumulated water: Make sure the sponge is completely dry after disinfecting.
Cut small pieces of sponge with scissors: The pieces should be small enough to easily mix with the soil.
By following these steps, you are preparing your used sponges to be reused efficiently and in an environmentally friendly way in your garden.
