Clean Your Sponge

[Dave]

Sponges, if left to sit while wet, can be one of the stinkiest things in your entire kitchen. Next time you're considering squeezing a few extra days of cleaning out of your sponge, try microwaving it for about thirty seconds. While this won't necessarily make it smell better if you've let it sit for too long, it will kill any bacteria, making it safe to use for longer. However, never try this with a dry sponge, as it can be a fire hazard - wet sponges only!
