What is the best way to clean and sanitize kitchen sponges? |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
Some people run them through the dishwasher, but this can cause the sponge to trap bits of food, causing even more bacteria growth. I prefer to wash them with regular liguid dish detergent and rinse, then place in a microwave safe dish in about an inch of water, then microwave for about three minutes. This not only sanitizes the sponge, but it also creates enough steam in the microwave to soften any splatters on the inside, which you can then easily wipe away with a damp paper towel.
