You've seen the commercials. You know the products. We're told our homes are a veritable hotbed for all germs, spores, bacteria, mold, and mildew. It's quite miraculous that we aren't all battling plague 24/7. Ok, sarcasm aside, I think we're being a little oversold on the whole notion of...

Sponges and cloths are playgrounds for nasty kitchen bacteria.
Bacteria goes everywhere because we spread it about while cooking, cleaning, and preparing meals. Just think of how many times you touch and use that dish towel while preparing a dish such as roast chicken!
