Caution with kitchen sponges for health

It is essential to avoid using old kitchen sponges, as they are a primary source of pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus. Recent studies, including a German study, recommend changing the sponge daily and not relying on odor or color to determine contamination levels, as these indicators do not reflect the actual situation. It is advised to discard the sponge immediately if it starts to emit a foul smell, as it can transfer germs to food and surfaces, increasing the risk of food poisoning and illnesses.
