Microwaving your germ laden sponge doesn't look like a very smart idea either... In the worst case you're just heating them to a nice and comfy level for optimum growth... You need a certain temperature and duration to effectively kill bacteria, but of course, none of that is explained...
Thanks for that reminder. I make soup and tea overnight every night in my oven. I said it to 190° and the tea is perfect when I get up. I don't eat meat so I don't have to worry about meat not getting to a critical temperature. I cook my tea and my vegan soup overnight in 190° oven. It cooks for at least 8 hours. I have been putting my dishwashing sponge, my scrubber brush, and the two plastic screens that keep pieces of food from going into the drain pipes. Of course I've washed them with hot soap and water first. I don't ring the soap out or rinse or rinse it off the drain screens. When I take the sponges and other items out of the oven after 8 hours they smell very good. I would appreciate information if this is not adequate to sanitize these items.
1:40 Placing sponge in the microwave shows a lack of understanding. #1 microwaves are not autoclaves. Same with dishwashers. They heat unevenly. Place the sponge in a bowl of water, boil that for several minutes and that'll work. #2 More importantly it gives a false sense of security if you're only doing this once in awhile. In between the sponge has bacteria. So the reality is the sponge is only clear of bacteria for an extremely short time or really not at all. If you use a clean sponge to wipe up bacteria the sponge is now covered in bacteria...so what's the point. Point is "zapping" "nuking" things make people feel good. That's it.
@@gloombla from USDA: Kitchen sponges are potential sources of bacteria and are difficult to clean. Microwaving or boiling kitchen sponges may reduce some of the bacterial load; however, these methods alone are not adequate to ensure that your sponge will reduce potential cross-contamination of hands, kitchen counters, and food. If you use sponges, buy new ones frequently.
Wiping the faucet off with the towel means that the towel may be contaminated with salmonella. I don't know why they didn't tell you that you need to use a new towel with each hand washing.
Thanks for this video. It's still very relevant in covid-19 times.

So what one should do ?
@@gloombla he said to boil it for several minutes bro
