Cleaning Trivia: Your Sponge Might Be Dirtier Than Your Toilet Seat

Did you know your kitchen sponge can harbor up to 200,000 times more bacteria than your toilet seat? That’s because damp, porous surfaces are the perfect breeding ground for germs. To keep it clean, microwave a damp sponge for one minute or run it through the dishwasher to kill most bacteria. Even with regular cleaning, sponges should be replaced every 1–2 weeks for best hygiene. In homes from Milwaukie to Happy Valley, we’ve seen how this simple habit makes a big difference in keeping kitchens fresh and safe. At Superb Maids Portland, we believe small changes in your cleaning routine can have a big impact on your home’s health.
