Sponges and Dish Towels

Keep germs from spreading by disinfecting your kitchen sponges and dish towels regularly.

Tips for cleaner sponges and dish towels

Whether you have a little bit of time or a lot, here are some handy solutions for keeping your sponges and towels germ-free.

    • Try not to use sponges to clean up after raw meat, poultry or eggs. Instead, use a disposable paper towel and a solution of Clorox® Clean-Up® Cleaner with Bleach as directed.
    • Sanitize sponges and dish towels daily in the sink using ¾ cup Clorox® Regular-Bleach to a gallon of water. Let soak 5 minutes. Rinse and dry.
