Can I use the same sponge for both milk
and meat? Really, one should not do
that. They should have separate sponges
for milk and meat. The reason is because
sponges are very highly absorbent and
when you use the sponge, whatever
residue will go into the sponge. Now,
it's true that people usually use it
together with soap [music] and we assume
that the soap will make whatever residue
in there inedible. If one did use the
same sponge for both milk and meat,
usually we're going to be lenient about
it and the dishes are all fine.
If the person is trying to set up the
kitchen in the proper way, they should
have separate sponges.
