Put the sponge within the microwave: A 2007 University of Florida study discovered that nuking kitchen sponges for about two minutes in the microwave was sufficient to effectively sterilize the sponge and kill all bacteria in it. Many information outlets reported the findings without mentioning that sponges needs to be wet before placing them within the microwave, prompting many individuals to zap dry sponges, which is a serious fireplace hazard. The College of Florida later issued an advisory that sponges needs to be utterly wet and don't have any metallic content material before they are put in the microwave.
