Sanitizing Sponges and Dish Cloths

After cleaning the kitchen in the evening, throw your sponge or dish cloth in the top rack of the dishwasher. If you use a dishcloth clip it in the top rack. It will wash, rinse and because the water is so hot, it will sanitize and deodorize the sponge or dishcloth!

Sanitize sponges by putting them in the microwave for one minute OR soak in a mild bleach water.
