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.
