Spongebob smelly pants

Got any grossly dirty sponges lying around the house that you can't stand anymore? Then throw them out and buy new ones. Or..... if you feel really adventurous, soak them well in water (that's the most important part), and nuke them in the microwave for 2 or more minutes to kill 99% of the smelly bacteria in the sponge.

Disclaimer: I will not be held responsible if you try this with a dry sponge, which will likely ignite and replace bacteria stink with smoke stink. Also, don't come crying to me when your microwave smells like stinky sponge for the next week. I'm just sayin' it can be done........ I'm not sayin' it's a good idea......

Additional disclaimer: if your kids start screaming "you're killing Spongebob!", you're on your own.
