what about a sponge?

[Guest guest]

I would use a different sponge. I have a dishwasher and I was wondering

about stuff like this too. My main concern is the soap. Even though

theoretically all the soap is washed away, is it possible it can contaminate

the dishes/silverware? We've had some soap products that the smell of made

me really sick when the dishwasher was running. I'm kind of OCD with rincing

plates, glasses, etc before using them, just in case. I know some people

have separate dishes that are only for special food. I never felt the need

to have separate dishes, pots, etc. I do have my own forks because I always

eat with salad forks. Nurotic behavior carried over from childhood! lol

Sponges though can hold on to stuff and knowing gluten is not whater

soluble, I whould be concerned that the plates are being coated with a layer

of gluten. I could just be crazy, but I wouldn't use the same sponge just to

be sure. To me, it would be the same as using a utencle to flip veggies

after fliping a hamburger with it, or someone saying just pull the pepperoni

off your slice of pizza. It's already contaminated! That's my thoughts about

it anyway!

Hello,

I don't use a sponge at all, personally I think they are kinda gross. Food gets

trapped in there and can rot. I use a clean fresh dish washing cloth everyday.

They are easy to launder and take care of.

When I do hand wash, which I do everyday cause I don't like my plastics to go in

the dishwasher, I always wash the 'gluten free' things first (like the kids

lunch contains) and anything that was used for gluten foods is washed last.

This way I don't worry about gluten residue left on anything. So, clean cloth

each day, gluten free dishes first.

Also, I like to rinse my dishes that go into the dishwasher. I don't run it

everyday, and this way I don't worry about gluten in the dishwasher either.

Hope you find this helpful.

Interesting.... It's true, gross to think of it that way... I have enough on my

plate but when the dust settles I think I'll do the same
