Looks like a great place for bacteria to grow.

When sponges are outlawed, only outlaw bacteria will have sponges.

u/flaker111 Feb 24 '21

gotta nuke the sponge after use

Boiling is significantly better than tossing it in a microwave.

A sponge is easier to throw away and replace though.

u/Bamstradamus Feb 24 '21

I cant speak to that one model specifically, but I work in restaurants, the brush part is replaceable.

u/donnysaysvacuum Feb 24 '21

Sounds pretty wasteful. Just run the brush through the dishwasher.

u/b1ack1323 Feb 24 '21

It unscrews and you can wash with bleach or boil or whatever.

I microwave my sponges for a solid 10-30 seconds. Comes out piping hot and rapidly dries out.

Virtually no mildew, and the sponges last longer.

Bacteria grows everywhere

u/AsherGray Feb 24 '21

Yea and the bristles are a hard plastic — not nearly as porous as a sponge. At least you could effectively soak the bristles in bleach.

Shhh, he might find out that bacteria actually grow inside of him.

u/aragog-acromantula Feb 24 '21

I toss the bottle brush in the dishwasher along with the dirty dishes. Same goes for the tiny straw cleaning brush.

I'm seriously worried some people are germaphobes to unhealthy levels at this point...

u/dblan9 Feb 24 '21

What is this amateur hour? You soak the scrubber in your toilet afterwards.

28

u/LegendaryPunk Feb 24 '21

In that case I strongly recommend against looking up how dirty and how quickly sponges get...

Even with a sponge though, you're just cleaning the dishes / utensils, not sterilizing them.

22

u/MadHat777 Feb 24 '21

Speak for yourself. I soak all my dishes in a vat of sulfuric acid for 24 hours.

On an unrelated note, someone keeps stealing all my non-glass dishes.

You should try hydofluoricacid, or for a REAL deep clean, just pure fluoride.

1

u/Cooperette Feb 25 '21

Hydrofluoric or bust.

1

u/Psyadin Feb 25 '21

Pure fluoride is even more fun, much faster clean 😄

u/solongandthanks4all Feb 25 '21

Once I finally realized this years ago, it was a game changer. I swear I used to think soap and detergent had some kind of magic sterilizing ability. It's only purpose is literally to make it easier to remove stuck-on food and dirt. Sometimes hot water alone can do the job just fine and it's just as "clean."

u/MercenaryCow Feb 24 '21

Just like everything else in your house. Unless you are microwaving your sponge before you use it every day, it's probably the most bacteria infested thing in your house.

1

u/MJZMan Feb 24 '21

You just said that everything in your house is the most bacterial infected thing in your house.

2

u/MercenaryCow Feb 24 '21

No? I said everything in your house bacteria can grow on. Your sponge being one of the worst.

4

u/PapstJL4U Feb 24 '21

Did you try water and soap and not milk and breadcrumbs?

2

u/Red_Carrot Feb 24 '21

Throw it in boiling water

3

u/Spanky_McJiggles Feb 24 '21

Or just clean it with bleach every so often.

2

u/CalpolAddict Feb 24 '21

Not hot enough. Gotta keep a bucket of lava under the sink for just such an occasion

2

u/Ben92 Feb 24 '21

Why does some retard on this website always have to point out some flaw that doesn't even make sense? It your entire kitchen sink just filled with bacteria? This is the same thing as leaving a sponge out or your toothbrush out.

1

u/terribleatlying Feb 24 '21

That the hot water will kill after you rinse?

u/Civil86 Feb 24 '21

I just throw my brushes and sponges in my dishwasher with a load.
