How to Disinfect Your Kitchen Sponges in Just One Minute — The Sunbright Way

At Sunbright Cleaning, we believe every part of your home deserves the same level of care, from gleaming floors to your everyday sponge. After all, a truly clean kitchen isn’t just about surface shine — it’s about ensuring the tools we use are healthy, hygienic, and ready to help daily.

Here’s a simple, effective routine to disinfect your sponge in just 60 seconds, so your kitchen stays safe, fresh, and welcoming.

Why This Matters

Your kitchen sponge works hard—soaking up spills, wiping surfaces, and sometimes handling raw food. This constant moisture and contact make it a prime spot for bacteria like E. coli and salmonella. To keep these unwelcome guests away, a quick, regular clean makes all the difference.

The Sunbright Simple Steps

Step 1: Fully wet your sponge

Ensure it’s soaked through. Dry sponges can spark in the microwave — and that’s a no-go.

Step 2: Heat for 1 minute

Place the wet sponge in the microwave and run it on high for 60 seconds. This short burst is enough to eliminate most bacteria, molds, and yeasts.

Step 3: Let it cool

The sponge will be hot—give it a minute or two to cool, or use tongs to handle it safely.

Small Effort, Big Impact

• Daily habit: Make this a quick end-of-day routine.

• Regular replacements: Even sanitized sponges wear out—swap them every 1–2 weeks or sooner if they smell or fall apart.

• Avoid cross-use: Assign one sponge for dishes and another for wiping counters to keep germs from spreading.
