PLAIN OLD KITCHEN SPONGES CAN BE PUT TO USE ALL OVER THE HOUSE; WELL, HERE ARE SOME IDEAS THAT YOU CAN PUT TO USE.

WHEN YOU'RE POTTING PLANTS, PUT A SMALL SPONGE IN THE BOTTOM, COVER IT WITH SOIL AND ADD YOUR PLANTS.

AS YOU WATER YOUR PLANTS THE SPONGE WILL SOAK UP EXTRA WATER AND THEN RELEASE IT SLOWLY BACK INTO THE PLANTS AS THEY NEED IT!

IF YOU NEED TO TRAVEL WITH FRESH CUT FLOWERS, KEEP THEM LASTING BY SOAKING A SPONGE WITH WATER, PUT IT IN THE BOTTOM OF A DEEP PLASTIC ZIPPER BAG AND PUT YOUR FLOWERS INSIDE.

THIS WILL KEEP YOUR FLOWERS NICE AND FRESH UNTIL YOU GET TO YOUR DESTINATION AND YOU WON'T
HAVE ANY SPILLS.

IF YOU HAVE A WINDOW AIR CONDITIONING UNIT, LINE SPONGES ALONG THE SILL UNDER THE UNIT BEFORE YOU INSTALL IT. 

THIS WILL GIVE YOU A NICE TIGHT SEAL AND PREVENT PESTS FROM GETTING IN THROUGH THE LITTLE CRACKS UNDER THE UNIT!

IN THE KITCHEN, CUT INEXPENSIVE SPONGES INTO STRIPS AND PUT THEM BETWEEN GLASSWARE IN THE DISHWASHER TO PREVENT THE GLASSES FROM ETCHING EACH OTHER.

SPONGES, BEYOND CLEANING!  I'M MRS. FIXIT AND IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE.
