Microwaving kitchen sponges for just two minutes can kill 99% of living pathogens, a study in the Journal of Environmental Health claims.

Heat rather than radiation is responsible for the sterilising action on the sponges, say the US researchers.

Full BBC story. Bonus points for working out what Simpsons quote I rejigged for the post title; gold star if you have what Homer said next.
