For what do you need a sterilized sponge at all?
You don't need to sterilize anything at home,
except you got AIDS or something like that.

I clean my dishes with a really ugly looking sponge. I think more than 2 years in use. Unhealthy you may think but I just scratch the dirt away and afterwards dip the dish under water to get rid of the soap.

Most of the time I use the dishwasher.


Well, the author of the original article didn't mentioned to wet the sponge. So I tried it for 3 minutes with the lowest available power setting on my microwave with an additional glass of water. After that my sponge still looked dirty but maybe was sterilized. So what?

That is just disgusting.
