A study conducted in 2022 revealed that more bacteria live on the average scouring sponge than people on our planet. Moreover, the growth of these bacteria cannot be stopped if you do not change the sponge every day. It also dries faster than a sponge, so there are fewer germs throughout the brush.
It is true, it is also known that dish sponges do not collect germs that cause various diseases. Therefore, if you wish, you can continue to use sponges, as those living in 8 out of 10 European countries do.
