Washing Up
I really think that forgetting sponges altogether, using dish clothes, preferably those made of bamboo, putting them in the wash after a day's use, or less, is by far the best way. You can bleach them or the drying temperature should be high enough to kill the bacteria.
I USED to use dishcloths for the kitchen. But now, I can't seem to break the habit of using sponges to wipe up spils on the table and the dishwasher's wood look top, as well as for washing dishes by hand.
I mainly use the dishwasher when I cook big meals like for Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, etc..
