Not everyone is aware of the different ways to use a kitchen sponge, besides its main function - washing dishes. However, experienced housewives have discovered several ways to use this everyday item. UAportal has told you about three life hacks using a kitchen sponge that can make your life easier.

Cleaning hard-to-reach places

If you are faced with the problem of cleaning hard-to-reach places or difficult surfaces, a kitchen sponge can help. Make a small cut under the hard part with a knife. Repeat the process with the other sponge and attach both sponges to the kitchen tongs. Now you have a useful tool for easily wiping down blinds or shelves.

Watering indoor plants

Try putting a small piece of sponge on the bottom of the flower pot before adding soil. When you water the plant, the sponge absorbs excess moisture. Gradually, it releases the stored water through the roots or by moistening the soil.

Help with computer work

Working at a computer for long periods often makes your hands tired and sore. By placing a sponge under your wrists while using the mouse, you can provide the support and cushioning you need. This simple device can help prevent hand fatigue, making for a more enjoyable and productive computer experience.
