Found out my dish sponge had more bacteria than a toilet seat

I saw this article on a science site a few weeks ago and it said the average kitchen sponge has like 10 million bacteria per square inch. That blew my mind because I always thought the bathroom was the gross spot. Now I microwave my sponge every morning for 2 minutes and it smells way better. Anyone else do that or got a better way to keep sponges from turning into germ factories?

I read the same thing and it seriously creeped me out for weeks.

Man that detail about the 47 minutes specifically got me. @dakota_murphy90 I still think about it randomly. Like why would anyone document that exact number? It feels too precise to be made up. Stuck with me for weeks too.
