What to do if you better wash dishes and there aren’t enough to justify running the dishwasher?
Why, use a sponge, dishwashing liquid, and a bit of elbow grease, of course.
But both environmental experts and scientists are now calling time-out on that plan.

Furtwangen University professor of microbiology Marckus Egert admits the findings were shocking for him and his team.
“No one had ever seen bacteria sitting inside a sponge.
One problem we have with bacteria and microbes is that we cannot see them.

And if you don’t see them, you don’t believe they are there.”
