Each of us, at least once in his life, washed dishes with sponges intended for this purpose. And, probably, they noticed that dishwashing sponges come in different colors in the packaging. The question is, why is this done?

But as one of the assumptions, one can put forward a version that the hostess or the owner who use these sponges can enter for themselves as a rule, for example, he washes pans and pans with a blue sponge, plates with a red sponge, spoons and forks with a purple sponge, a kitchen table with a yellow sponge, a stove and sink. But it seems to me to be complete nonsense.

Although how to say, after all, dishwashing sponges are a breeding ground for bacteria, and such a distinction by color that each color is responsible for its own dishes, table, stove, will only lead to good.

Fried bacteria from the frying pan will not get on the plates, dirt from the kitchen countertop, will not get on the kitchen countertop and so on.

But the main feature of dishwashing sponges is that the soft, multi-colored part, its direct purpose, is generation of foam with the help of dishwashing detergent, and the dishes need to be washed with a hard part, which is scientifically scotch-bright. Much depends on its rigidity.

For example, if you wash a frying pan, then you need to choose a sponge with a harder scotch-bright (by the way, it is dark green in color), If you wash plates or cups, you can use a sponge with a softer scotch-bright (it should be brown).

Scotch-bright comes in completely different colors, and blue, and gray, and orange, and purple, and red, and so on.

And all these colors differ from each other in hardness.

Quite an interesting fact is that scotch tape is used not only for washing dishes, but also for grinding various parts; it is also used in construction.

But if you pay close attention to our dishwashing sponges, despite their color, they are exactly the same. And this is because they all have the same bright scotch tape - dark green, the toughest.

And it would be great if the manufacturer diversified packaging not only with the colors of the soft parts of the sponges, but also with its multi-colored hard part - scotch tape. In my opinion, it would be very cool and convenient.

What do you think, do we need packs of dishwashing sponges with Scotch Bright of different hardness? Would it be more convenient, or unnecessary troubles?

And the coolest thing was that I hurried to ask a question about the multi-colored scotch tape bright. But if he asked, then he didn't know. And I went into the Metro Cash & Carry store today and saw there sponges for washing dishes, which not only had multi-colored foam rubber, but also bright scotch tape. Luck smiled at me. And here I can't say whether such sponges have recently appeared on sale, or whether I simply did not pay attention to this moment.

And now the next question, has anyone already used such dishwashing sponges? Are they more convenient? Do they wash better?
