My neighbor told me to put a damp sponge in the microwave to clean it
My neighbor, Frank, said to put a wet sponge in the microwave for two minutes to kill germs. I tried it last week and the sponge came out hot and steamy, but it smelled weird and felt kind of melted in one spot. Has anyone else tried this and had it work, or did I mess it up?

Oh man, I did the exact same thing! My sponge got all hot and gross, and it totally warped into this weird shape, like one corner just folded over and got hard. It did not smell clean at all, it smelled like hot wet plastic and old food. I'm pretty sure I just cooked the germs instead of killing them. Now I just run mine through the dishwasher or use a little bleach water instead.

That "cooked the germs" thing is such a classic life hack fail, we keep trying to outsmart basic cleaning.
