I hand wash all of the dishes, and on Mondays I like to swap out the old dish sponge for a new one. I don’t toss the old one out, just yet. I keep a cute container under the kitchen sink filled with old wash cloths and dish sponges that can be used again to clean up around the house.

The wash cloths are perfect for dusting, cleaning electronics, and scrubbing windows. The old sponges are great for cleaning around the toilet, scrubbing down the shower, or tackling any other icky cleaning jobs that I have to do.
