Sponge Cleaning with a Stove
You can also use a stove to clean a sponge. Firstly, rinse the sponge under warm water to remove any remaining dirt or food. Boil water in the stove and then put the whole sponge into boiled water. Make sure the entire piece is soaked. Keep the item from touching the bottom by stirring it often. Otherwise, the sponge would melt. After 5 minutes, you can remove the sponge after the heat has removed most of the bacteria. Make sure to use tongs or a spoon to avoid burning your hands. Keep the sponge on a clean surface to let it cool off before using again. [8]
