The dishcloth must be sterilized after being used for a long time

Everyone uses a dishcloth to clean the tableware, but as a cleaning tool that stays in a humid environment for a long time and is stained with oil, the growth of bacteria is very fast! Perhaps the surface of the dish cloth is not very oily, but the bacterial content may be very high. If you use this dish cloth to wash dishes, it may affect your health. Therefore, the dish cloth must be sterilized after being used for a long time. Here is how to sterilize the dish cloth!

Method one:

Boil hot water in the pot. After the water boils, put the dishcloth into the pot, and then add two spoons of edible alkali. You can also use it as a substitute for baking soda at home. Then close the lid and continue cooking for 10 minutes.

Alkali has the effect of sterilization, disinfection and oil removal. High temperature disinfection in boiling water for 10 minutes can kill a large number of bacteria on the dishcloth. After cooking, you can see that all the dirty things on the dishcloth have come out, and the water has become very dirty. We take it out, wash it with clean water, hang it in the sun or air-dry it in a ventilated place.


Method Two:

Wash the dish cloth with dish soap first. After washing, put it in a basin, pour some disinfectant, and then some clean water, soak it for 5 minutes. After soaking, wash it with clean water and dry it in a ventilated place.

Every time you finish washing the dishes, try to let the dishcloth air-dry or sun-dry as much as possible, so as to reduce the growth of bacteria. And regularly use the above two methods to sterilize the dish cloth or replace the dish cloth frequently. There is a microwave oven at home, you can also put the dish cloth in it every day and turn it on high heat to get the effect of sterilization.
