There is literally nothing to "go on". Get it wet, the microwave nukes the bugs, continue using it.
I can't believe I'm teaching zoomies how to live on a mongolian basket weaving forum.
Nope. Supposing it's not filled with gunk...which it shouldn't be if you've rinsed properly...then it removes all smell. The microorganisms are indeed too small to microwave, but the water acts as a medium for the waves to use to kill the things that are causing that smell in your sponge. Like other anons have said, make sure you ring out your sponge before putting them away.
Just think about it.
You take use a cloth, wash it in a washing machine, then reuse it a million times.
I do the same thing with my hands instead of a washing machine, and suddenly I'm going to die?
That's silly.
I was going to say similar. The off-brand ones at Target are like maybe 40 to 50 cents each. Use them a couple days max and throw them away. Simple as.
My homie you can get 3 of them for a dollar. You replace them when touching or looking at one feels anything less than great to you. Please care about yourself enough to spend an extra $3 a year on kitchen sponges.
Why the frick do people use these? I haven't bought any of these shitty sponges since I was a freshman in college. Literally just spend $5 on one of these and never look back. You can clean out a black greasy pan that's had two pounds of bacon run through it, rinse it off and you're good to go. Tomato sauce? No problem. Meanwhile a sponge hits a bit of burnt grease and it's basically ruined.
Are you kidding? Scrub Daddy makes great products. That material of theirs is the absolute best, way more durable, hygienic, and effective than a regular sponge. After a long-enough while that mesh will wear out (especially when you're washing cutlery, it snags) but other than that, one of these is worth 15 ScotchBrite scouring-sponges. You're a goofy.
They suck and they can't scrub for shit. My mom (bless her) bought me some for Christmas and they can't scrub for shit and the towels just push water around
Monthly because for some reason people keep stealing them from the sink. Should I hide them? They are pretty cheap but what's with people taking them away like souvenir? I honestly don't understand.
literally never just fill it with water and microwave it
go on?

I don't have a bug problem so I'll just skip the microwave part. Thanks anyway
Microwaving wont remove the chunks and gunk that gets stuck in the fibers over time and stops it from being able to properly scrub and clean.
That's gross. You're gross.
Although I wish they would make some of these that lasted longer. Seems like a waste.
>the microwave nukes the bugs
microwaves don't kill spores
Microwave will kill anything that has water in it. Spores have water in it.
endospores laugh at boiling water
Fruit flies and other small bugs aren't affected by microwaves at all
You can microwave them for 30 minutes and they'll come out just fine
Try drenching them in water first.
microwave wont fix it breaking down after a month of use
>t. neet who's never washed a dish in his life
microwave won't fix my poorgay habit of not having a microwave
sounds like it would smell really bad

how american
Are you moronic?
yes

musturd gas, don't do it
When the scouring pad loses it's coarseness.
Isnt the green part like a wear strip, replace when its gone?
GTFO my house now Black person!
I once had one for 5 years straight, and, mine you, it was there when I'd settled in. It was black all over.
Hail frugality.
>the kind with the sponge
replace it immediately
It's not nearly as important to replace as you think.
If you have soap on it, then you're fine.
Simple as
t. Sloppobacter gunkensis
Just think about it.

When it goes soft or the green starts to come off
im not poor so i only use them once lol
I'll kick your ass right now
the driveway to my house is longer than the street you live on lol
you dont deserve to live

When it starts to smell
A dry sponge is a happy sponge, always wring it out properly after use, don't leave it in the sink
When its no longer rigid and starts to smell? I love dishwashing as much as the next guy but there's no need to be frugal on sponges
when the soft part gets so fricked it can hardly hold any water anymore
if you rinse your dishes before using it, it'll last much longer. and squeeze and rinse the sponge after your done
After the lemon is applied. Duh
I use one of these. Replace it every time the plastic mesh starts to break down.
>scratches all your cookware
If you scratch your Teflon with plastic sponges, you need anger management
I don't own cancerflon pans, manbreasts-san
all your cookware
compared to the OP's suggestion which is made with aluminum oxide, literally the same material as sandpaper?
reminder that studys have shown that those kitchen sponges contain more bacteria per cubic inch than fresh human feces.
>He doesn't just use the one that came with his house
ngmi
Some fricking idiot on reddit was saying that they toss their sponge and toothbrush in with their laundry once a month to clean and last longer
sleep tight sponge
are you guys stupid? the sponge isn't sleeping. the sponge is the bed
he is sleeping please do not wake him up
sorry
let him sleep... he's earned it.
Sweet dreams
I change them whenever the bathroom needs a good scrub. That gets the sponge nice and gross so it's a good time to throw it out anyways
My homie you can get 3 of them for a dollar. You replace them when touching or looking at one feels anything less than great to you. Please care about yourself enough to spend an extra $3 a year on kitchen sponges.
When it's falling apart and no longer useful
>the cleaning device she told you not to worry about
no one could replace you, sponge
if i use you, smell my hand, it smells off instead of like soap, it's time

I took the brush pill years ago.
too big for glasses
This, sponges take forever to clean. I have a round brush for glasses, too.
>*flicks shit all over your kitchen counter
tch - nothen personnel kid
pic related is the actual kino dish-washing solution
These suck they feel like they are from the dollar store. You have cheap taste

Anon, where do you live that people have 24/7 access to your kitchen sponges?
I just use a shitty rag
When the coarse stuff has been worn off
