Today's Kitchen Tip I originally got from an issue of Cook's Country and morphed into my own.
This is my method of keeping track of kitchen sponges: When I get out a new sponge it is used strictly for washing dishes. When it gets a bit stained/icky, I clip two corners and it gets demoted to the counters. When it gets even ickier, I clip the last two corners and it is demoted again - this time to the floor. When I started doing this, suddenly my husband was able to remember which sponge to use where - and that means my "dishes sponge" doesn't get used on an icky floor mess!
Another tip about sponges - did you know they can be washed/sterilized in your dishwasher?! This tip from a friend has lengthened the use of my sponges and saved me lots of money on sponges.

Thanks for the kitchen tips on sponges. Great idea on clipping them, too!
I like that!!!
That reminds me of a Home Improvement episode where Jill was trying to explain the difference in sponges to Tim. He told her if it was complicated, he'd just leave it for her.
Great tip! I will be doing this today!

I LOVE this idea! I know my hubby is not listening when I explain to him what different sponges are for.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and your helpful comments. I am going to set up a meeting with his teacher to see if I can tape a checklist to his desk. I think the visual reminder would be great for him.
Thanks again,
Amy
