Clever household tricks: What kitchen sponges can do

Plant care

To prevent waterlogging, first put a sponge in the pot, then soil over it. Absorbs excess water.

Handle cushion

Wrap a soft sponge around slippery bucket handles. Then secure with a rubber band.

Floor protection

When furniture drags across the floor, it leaves ugly scratches. Simply cut small pieces of sponge (without the abrasive side) and stick them under the chair legs with adhesive tape.

Lacquer help

Use a sharp knife to cut even holes in the contour of the new sponge. Simply clamp between the toes as a spacer. Perfect!

Joint support

Place the sponge under the mousepad. Resiliently relieves computer-tired wrists.
