A crack team of researchers at the University of Florida have discovered that microwaving a wet sponge can sterilize it, killing bactera and parasites and neutralizing viruses. Results of their amazing discovery were published in the Journal of Environmental Health.
Sponges, with their huge surface area, high aeration rate, persistent dampness, and food particle-collecting pockets, are veritable petri dishes that grow all manner of harmful and benign microbes alike, an spread them wherever you wipe & scrub. The UofF team's research could utterly revolutionize household sanitary practices. I only wish this groundbreaking work had been done earlier.
Oh, wait, I've been microwave-sterilizing kitchen sponges from time to time for six years now. Damn. I should have written a paper about it. I could have been on CNN.
