Microwave Your Kitchen Sponge

Kitchen sponges host a plethora of germs. They are often one of the dirtiest things in home, and are known to be dirtier than a toilet seat! Washing it under tap, or putting it in dishwasher don't completely make them clean. 

Hack: To make your kitchen sponges clean and free from germs, microwave them to kill 99% of germs. 

How do you do that? Clean kitchen sponge with water, and then put it in a microwave. Heat it for 2 minutes on medium temperature setting, and let it cool. Make sure your sponge is completely wet before putting it in microwave to avoid burning.

Bonus Hack: Use a binder clip as shown in the figure to store kitchen sponges. Simply leaving them lay flat increases the risk of germ infestation.
