Stop Throwing Out Old Sponges: 10 Brilliant Hacks to Use Them Around the House
We all use sponges daily for cleaning, but once they get worn out or a little smelly, most people just toss them away. But what if I told you that those old sponges still have plenty of life left and can be repurposed in surprisingly useful ways? Before you throw your sponges in the trash, check out these 10 brilliant hacks to reuse them around your home!
1. Seed Starter Pots
Cut old sponges into small cubes, soak them in water, and use them to start your seedlings. The sponge holds moisture well and provides a perfect environment for seeds to sprout.
2. Keep Vegetables Fresh
Place a damp sponge at the bottom of your vegetable drawer in the fridge. It helps maintain humidity and keeps veggies like carrots and lettuce fresh longer.
3. Paint Sponge for Crafting
Use old sponges as cheap paint applicators. They’re perfect for sponge painting techniques to add texture and patterns to your DIY projects.
4. Pin Cushion
Convert an old dry sponge into a handy pincushion. It’s soft enough to stick pins into and keeps them organized and easy to access.
5. Protect Fragile Items
Cut sponges into pieces and use them as padding inside boxes when storing or shipping fragile items like glassware or ornaments.
6. Soap Saver
Place a piece of sponge under your bar soap to keep it dry between uses, making your soap last longer and preventing it from getting mushy.
