kitchen-sponge_sm.pngThat kitchen sponge you use to wipe down dishes, the sink, the cutting board, and counter is a breeding ground for bacteria—which you can easily kill in the microwave. Step by step web site wikiHow suggests several ways to de-germ your kitchen sponge, including thoroughly wetting the sponge (this part is important) and microwaving it for one minute to kill any yeast or mold that's accumulated on it. Alternately you can put it through a dishwasher cycle, soak it in a bleach or lemon juice solution, or dry it out completely in between washes. Or, you know, you could just get a new sponge.
