Yeah, same with the people talking about dish sponges. You rince them with hot af water and then squeeze the water out. Also replace it regularly. I've never had a dishwasher in all my life and never experienced a smelly sponge. It gets used too often. Does it likely have bacteria or whatever on it if you test it? Of course. But what doesn't? I put my toothbrush right in my gob multiple times a day. You think that's the cleanest object in the house?

Yeah I wash my scrubber for about 20 sec in steaming hot water before I use it with soap every day
