The myth about melamine sponges has been debunked. Allergist Paretskaya: melamine sponges do not cause formaldehyde poisoning 00:11

Formaldehyde used in the production of melamine sponge cannot enter the human body. Pathophysiologist and allergist Elena Paretskaya spoke about this, according to reports “Doctor Peter”.

Melamine sponges have gained popularity due to their similarity to erasers: They can remove tough stains without using household chemicals. The doctor says they can be compared to very fine sandpaper.

“Due to its structure, sponge acts as an abrasive with the finest particles and loosens dirt and soot accumulations. At the same time, the foamy structure of the sponge absorbs dust and dirt and does not allow it to come back out,” explains the doctor.

Do not be afraid of the formaldehyde used in the production of melamine sponges: it completely evaporates during the production of sponges and cannot enter the human body.

The doctor recommended moistening the sponge with cold water before use. Contact of the sponge with hot water, skin or dishes should be avoided. It is important to keep these out of reach of pets and children. After use, the sponge should be rinsed again in running water and left to dry until the next time.
