6 Filthy-Dirty Places in Your Kitchen You Should Never Forget to Clean

Problem: Speaking of sponges and other cleaning brushes . . . they get dirty too! Like, really dirty. And it can be easy to forget that they need to be cleaned too. The last thing you want is to use a germ-infested sponge to "clean" the rest of your kitchen. This is only making your mess ten times worse!

Solution: Every couple of days, pop your sponges on the top rack of your dishwasher to run with the rest of the load. You can even alternate so you always have a cleaning brush available should you need it. And if you have any questions, it doesn't hurt to buy a new packet of brushes or sponges to start from scratch every so often.
