A few years ago my mother-in-law shared a wonderful tip with me: To get get rid of nasty germs/bacteria on your kitchen sponge, just zap it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds!! I have become pretty obsessive about it, too. I nuke it about 5 times a day, now!! (Make sure it is WET first!)

Cool idea. I just recently put mine in the dishewasher after reading a post. It worked too.
How smart. So what happens if you zap a dry sponge? I am envisioning that scene from "The Green Mile".
That is exactly what I thought of too!!!
That's a lot faster than sticking it in the dishwasher.
I need to do it more often.
Thanks for the reminder-tip!
Check it out, I just read this...

Oh, wow, that has never happened to me--I only put it in there for about 20 sec. and it is always very wet!!! To me it is a lot faster than soaking it or running it through the dishwasher. Sometimes I just spray lavender water on it though, or pour boiling water on it.
