i hate the way sponges smell

[bicentennial_baby]

1. And think of all the lovely bacteria you're smearing across your plates...

...every time you use the cheesy thing. Yummmm!

[bicentennial_baby]

4. i know!

it reeks after the first use! are they boil-able? :puke:

[Kutjara]

7. Not sure. I think they might disintegrate.

Worth a try, though.

2. I always bleach mine after.

Just a little bit of bleach in an inch or two of hot water in the sink, then let the sponge sit in it for a few minutes.

At least it kills the ick.

5. my gf is allergic to bleach...and everything else...

sigh...

[reyd reid reed]

9. Allergic to bleach?

YIKES!!! Isn't there some kind of anti-bacterial stuff that she can tolerate? There has to be something...check with a pharmacist.

:shrug:
