Homemaker Barbi has a terrific tip for keeping the contents of your salad drawer fresh. Stick a clean, dry sponge in there! The sponge absorbs the excess moisture; foods that are prone to mould and mush, such as strawberries and tomatoes, stay fresher for longer.
I love tips that are as deliciously simple as this one.

This is a wonderful idea. I have mold issues with fruits and especially strawberries. We always put a paper towel beneath the berries, but they still get moldy. I’ll give the sponge a try. Thank you.

Sounds good! So simple. Must mention that to my mum, see if she has issues with stuff going mouldy.
