A well-used kitchen sponge can have up to five trillion bugs and that is dirtier than toilet waste. Gross. It was also found that those home disinfecting tricks don't really work. So microwaving or boiling your sponge is not prolonging the life of your sponge, it can actually lead to more bacteria.
