My 'microwave to clean a sponge' hack made my kitchen smell like a swamp
I saw a tip online to nuke a wet sponge for two minutes to kill germs. The before was a normal sponge, the after was a hot, melted, stinky mess that stunk up my whole apartment for a day. Has anyone else had a cleaning hack backfire this badly?

My aunt tried that once with a cheap dollar store sponge. It basically turned into a weird, burnt plastic puddle in her microwave. The smell was like hot garbage and wet dog mixed together. She had to leave all the windows open in February. Honestly, just soaking a sponge in a little bleach water works way better and doesn't risk a house fire.

Oh man @paulw87, "hot garbage and wet dog" is a smell combo I never needed to imagine. Your aunt's microwave experiment sounds like a science project gone very wrong.
