A clean kitchen is a healthier kitchen. Today I would like to share a cleaning tip with you. Dish sponges are essential in the kitchen, however, if they are not cleaned properly and routinely, this increases the chances of bacterial growth. There are several ways you can clean them. One way is to submerge the sponge in white vinegar for 5–7 minutes, rinse it out with hot water, wring it out, and allow it to dry. You can also soak the sponge in boiling water for 5–7 minutes. Afterwards, squeeze out the excess water and let it dry naturally or in the sunshine if possible. If you choose to use the dishwasher, put the sponge on the top rack and utilize the highest heat and longest drying setting cycle. You can also use a microwave. Simply rinse the sponge clean and heat it up in the microwave for approximately 90 seconds. Allow it to cool down, rinse, and let it air dry. Cleaning your dish sponge appropriately every 1-2 weeks helps maintain a clean and safe kitchen environment.
The joke of the day is ready to take the stage, so let’s sit back and listen. It’s called “Instant Response.”
On a crowded bus, the boy asked his mother:
“Mom, is our parrot companion a daddy or a mommy?”
“She is a mommy parrot.”
“How do you know?”
A hush fell over the passengers as they listened for how the mother would cope with this one. But she was ready for the challenge and replied:
“She has lipstick on, hasn’t she?”
And now we have a heartline from Hoàng Oanh in Âu Lạc, also known as Vietnam
