I started doing this a little over a year ago. I got the idea after staying at a vacation rental in Lake Arrowhead where the owners had done this. Very smart because the sponge is being changed every time the rental cottage changes over. I really liked the idea because I’m germ-phobic, so I like to throw away my sponges very often. Yes, I know you can microwave them but that still grosses me out. By cutting them in half, I can change my sponges often and do not have to increase my sponge budget (no I don’t have a dedicated sponge budget). Your dishes and your wallet will thank you. Your sponge, however, will want you dead.
