sanitize your sponges
i am a bit of a germie-phobe (not too bad, but still...) so i thought i would pass this on. your kitchen sponge has more germs on it right now than anyone would care to go into detail about, so i love this (i do it every other day) just make sure it is wet (does not matter how wet, but not dry) and microwave it for 1 minute. that is it. i wish that it removed the smell that builds up, but alas...
