Dishcloths that people have been using for about a year don't look dirty, so they don't want to throw them away, especially older people. Dishcloths do not look dirty, so it's a shame to throw them away. This is known to be bad for your health. You should change the rags once a month or so.

Bacteria are easily harbored

In rags, many bacteria, including E. coli and salmonella, can be hidden and cause illness. The rags tend to accumulate bacteria, especially in summer,natural sponges for cleaning and in hot and humid conditions in the south, when they are not thoroughly cleaned. When dirty rags are used to clean dishes, there will be "cross-infection" during the cleaning process, which will not only not play a role in cleaning but also allow the bacteria on the rag to affect the health of the entire family.

Sanitize and wash

Aside from replacing rags regularly, it is also a good idea to wash rags with detergent and water every day after washing chopsticks, and then dry them in a ventilated area afterward. In general, everything is for your family's health. If you have the means, you can sanitize your dishcloths once every two days.

Selection of dishcloths

It is advisable not to use dishcloths made of chemical fiber or those that have been treated with steel wire balls. This is because the remnants of chemical fibers and steel wire can stick to dishes, making it possible for them to be consumed along with food and cause harm to the gastrointestinal tract. To prevent this potential health risk, we suggest using dishcloths made of pure wood fiber, which are highly absorbent and effective in removing oil.
