Sanitizing Sponges and Dish Cloths
Whenever you run your dishwasher, tie or clip your dishcloth to the top rack of your dishwasher. It will get clean with your dishes!

You have to let the spray sit on the cloth ten minutes and then rinse thoroughly to kill the germs.

I found that by using a little spray of Laundry OxyClean on my sponge or dish cloth can not only clean and sanitize it but help to remove stains after letting it soak a little while, then rinsing in a bowl of clear water. I don't have to worry about getting a splash on most of my clothes, like bleach, since it is for colored laundry as well. It also smells nice.

Tip: Sanitizing Sponges and Dish Cloths
After cleaning the kitchen in the evening, throw your sponge or dish cloth in the top rack of the dishwasher. If you use a dishcloth clip it in the top rack. It will wash, rinse and because the water is so hot, it will sanitize and deodorize the sponge or dishcloth!

Sanitize sponges by putting them in the microwave for one minute OR soak in a mild bleach water.
