I microwave my kitchen sponges about once a week. I don't actually know if that does anything, but it makes me feel better. Get them wet, put them on a plate, 2 minutes on high, hopefully a lot of steamed dead bacteria.
- Karawebnetwork 5y agoI have always been told that you should put them in vinegar overnight. I don't know if this helps either.
