The best advice has no expiry date, as Martha Stewart reminds us time and time again. Our most recent discovery comes in the shape of a column Martha penned in 2009, regarding an eternal kitchen essential: Dish towels. Or, more specifically, their short life span.
According to Martha, we should change these towels at least once a week, while sponges should be used for no more than two weeks, or sooner if they start to fall apart. Thankfully, these cleaning supplies are ultra-affordable, so if, like me, you've let them surpass their lifespan by a few days, it's time to rethink in the interest of better hygiene.
