information on microwaving sponges from doctor who issued first post

[Guest guest]

Yesterday's hints included information about microwaving sponges.

Don't do it!

It may render the sponge worthless and cause some smoking.Here's an

additional advisory from the University of Floriday:

 

" To guard against the risk of fire, people who wish to sterilize their

sponges at home must ensure the sponge is completely wet. Two minutes of

microwaving is sufficient for most sterilization. Sponges should also have no

metallic

content. Last, people should be careful when removing the sponge from the

microwave as it will be hot. "
