Cooking Tips: Cleaning kitchen sponges

Your kitchen sponges can breed and spread bacteria. To keep them clean, (and safe), toss them into the top rack of the dishwasher each time you run a load. Alternatively, regularly sanitize them in the microwave. A wet wrung sponge needs to go in on high for one minute (dry sponges only need 30 seconds). After the sponge cools, rinse with clean water.
