1) With soap and water
It's the easiest since it only needs soap, water and a little effort because you'll have to rub a lot. First of all, wet your sponge until it increases in size, then swipe soap all over it, pressing it to absorb the product well. Finally, rinse always by squeezing it to get out toooooda the accumulated base and soap.
2) Give her a bath in a bathtub!
If your little skewer is too dirty, that's a great method for you. Prepare a water with liquid soap in a container, soak the sponge there and leave for a few minutes for the water and soap to melt the product inside the sponge. Then squeeze the sponge a little to suck the water with soap, rub a little where it needs to be rubbed and rinse thoroughly with warm water.
3) Throw in the washing machine
If you have many sponges, this process will work for you. Put them all in a lingerie and bra washbag and throw them in the empty washing machine. It can wash with machine soap even, in delicate mode and make an extra rinse. Then just hang the sachet on the clothesline to dry.
4) Hot tub in microwave
To kill all bacteria, even, you can use this method. In a mug put soapy water so that the sponge is submerged. Wet the sponge with clean water and place it in the mug. For even more cleaning, you can add a little olive oil. Turn on the microwave for 1 minute and let the glass cool down before taking it back. Your sponge should be clean and the water full of base. Rinse under running water and allow to dry.
