Two minutes in a microwave oven can sterilize most household sponges, U.S. researchers reported on Monday.
A team of engineering researchers at the University of Florida found that two minutes of microwaving on full power killed or inactivated more than 99 percent of bacteria, viruses or parasites, as well as spores, on a kitchen sponge.

Makes perfectly good sense to me that it would work. I should probably do this as I tend to use the same dish wash cloth all of the time. I make sure I rinse it well in Hot water at the end of each use. Probably should through it in the Microwave once a week.
