Take Care of That Icky Sponge

     If you are like me and are constantly in fear of harmful bacteria around your food or food utensils then do I have a quick tip for you!!!

     I am forever buying sponges for my kitchen. These little jerks turn funny colors and smell so quick it drives me insane. I figured there has to be a way to keep these things living longer. After some research I found the solution! The microwave!! Of course, it seems so obvious, I mean I did sanitize my sons bottles in there.

So here's a little view at my current sponge. The left is a new and clean sponge, the right is a 1.5 week old used sponge...

gross right??

So after wetting this sponge place it in a bowl for its radiation bath.
I zapped it for 2 minutes. Then after LETTING IT COOL, I ran it under water and flushed the sponge. I then placed it bath into the bowl for another 2 minutes.


After seeing lots of black crud come out, this is the final product.

ok so the color didnt change much... but it did clean it out and killed the bacteria.
