Many of us use a plastic sponge in the shower or bath when using body wash, but we never wonder if we need to clean the very item that helps us get our bodies squeaky clean. Those nylon mesh sponges can be a breeding ground for bacteria over time, so follow these steps to keep them clean: Every eight weeks or so, toss your sponge into your washing machine and launder with your usual laundry and detergent. After the washer has completed its cycle, remove the sponge and let it air dry.

Have you ever heard the tip about freezing your favorite pair of jeans to eradicate the odor-causing bacteria? Many people do this to avoid washing their denim, in the hope that the material will keep its perfect shape and fit. But in reality, this tip does not work, because the odor-causing bacteria can survive even freezing temps. It takes just a few surviving bacteria spores to repopulate and grow when you re-wear your jeans. If you really want fresh-smelling jeans, wash them.

When you have white kitchen and bath towels, they can get stained easily. And while using chlorine bleach may guarantee perfectly white results when you wash them, it isn't the most environmentally friendly choice. To avoid bleach, try these tips to whiten your towels. First, try soaking out the stains in a sink full of water to help dilute them before washing. Then sprinkle a little baking soda and hydrogen peroxide right on the stain and let it bubble away for 30 to 60 minutes. When you wash as normal, they should all come out crystal clean.
