Ok, this is a funny little post- not really about health or fitness, but I just wanted to share a kitchen tip that I learned a couple of years ago and use all the time. See how close that little hedgehog is to my kitchen sponge? That's because my kitchen sponge smells good enough to be that close. My kitchen sponge used to start smelling gross before it would wear out. I always felt bad about throwing it away and starting another one, but I also guessed that whatever was causing that smell wasn't good to be rubbing on my dishes and counter. I've never been able to get my dishes as clean with a dish cloth, so I wanted to keep using sponges, but I didn't want to be wasteful either. Happily, I learned that you can kill the bacteria that cause stinky-sponge by getting the sponge really wet and microwaving it for 3 minutes. Pretty cool, probably more sanitary, and makes sponges last a lot longer.
