Kitchen sponges are versatile cleaning supplies commonly used for washing dishes, cleaning kitchen appliances and wiping up food spills. They consist of squishy polyurethane foam to absorb liquid and retain their shape. Sponges can harbor harmful pathogens, viruses and microbes from raw eggs, meats and vegetables. Failure to sterilize kitchen sponges regularly can cause food-borne illnesses, such as Salmonella and hepatitis A. Sterilize sponges weekly to prevent contamination and create a healthier kitchen environment.
