Sponges can spread germs and cause a worse mess then you think when cleaning.
Check out that sponge that is just sitting there waiting for you to pick it up and wipe off your counter...it can have on an average about 7 billion germs lingering on it!
Now that's a nasty thought. So what to do?
Just zap the wet sponge in the microwave for 1 minute at least once a day. More often depending on the usage. You can feel safer that you are not spearing the germs all over your counters as you are 'cleaning' after this great hint!
