Since when has a sponge become an essential item in every household? There is so much to say about this utensil, and the most special thing about it is its versatile use. Don’t waste these sponges because there are 11 things you can do with them, and they are all useful.
1. Planting
If you always want to have a small, green and cozy garden in your house or grow clean vegetables in pots but don’t know where to start, don’t ignore these sponges. What you need to do is quite simple. Place a sponge on a plate or pot, place the seeds on top of the sponge (note: leave enough space between the seeds to grow). Then place a glass bowl underneath. Place the plant pot in a place with lots of light and wait for these seeds to germinate.
2. Watering plants
When you have young plants, you can use sponges to ensure they have a stable daily water supply. Cut a piece of sponge to fit the bottom of the pot, fill it with soil and then place the plant on top. The sponge will ensure adequate water supply when the plant needs it and also prevent the plant from drowning.
3. Absorb excess moisture in the refrigerator
Some foods (mostly fruits and especially oranges) are not suitable for high humidity environments. First, you need to set a low humidity mode for the refrigerator and place a sponge in it. It will absorb excess moisture so that your fruits will stay fresh longer.
4. Humidifier
People often use water in their cups or their own saliva to stick paper or envelopes. This invisible habit creates bad habits and affects your image and health. Instead, you can use damp sponges to help you with this.
5. Make an ice pack
This must be one of the favorite ways that many people use. Wet your sponge and gently squeeze it, put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in the refrigerator. Then pack it in a lunch box or bag and use it when needed.
6. Excellent cushion
Because of its square shape, sponge can be curved and fit into weird spaces, creating an excellent cushion for delicate items like decorations or makeup.
7. Clean the wall
Wallpaper after peeling off creates sticky residues that are uncomfortable to look at. The sponge will solve this. Soak your sponge in a fabric softener and hot water solution, squeeze out the water and gently wipe the wall. It will loosen the adhesive and make removing wallpaper easier.
8. Protect the floor
