Sponge Color Code: The Key to Cleanliness

Sponges are most commonly found in three colors: yellow, red, and green. Each has a specific level of abrasiveness and is suitable for a different type of dirt.

Abrasivity is the ability of a material to abrade or polish another material. It basically refers to how rough and "sandy" the material is.

Using the right color sponge will not only make the washing process more efficient, but also prevent scratching sensitive surfaces.

Yellow is the softest

Yellow indicates low abrasiveness. Yellow sponges are made of softer materials and can be used to clean delicate dishes such as wine glasses, porcelain, or glass.

You can also use them to clean delicate surfaces, such as non-stick pans or stainless steel sinks.

Red, pink or orange are the golden mean

These shades are universal cleaning aids. They are therefore perfect for regular cleaning, but also for more resistant dirt, such as burnt-on food, dried stains or grease. With their help, you can, for example, clean grills, stoves, built-in hoods and other surfaces.

Green is the hardest

Green sponges are the most abrasive. You can use them to remove more resistant dirt.

Don't forget about sponge hygiene

In addition to colors, it is also important to pay attention to hygiene. Sponges are an ideal environment for the growth of bacteria, so it is important to change them regularly, ideally every week. After each use, rinse the sponge thoroughly and let it air dry. For even better hygiene, you can boil it in boiling water or put it in the dishwasher.
