Then I remembered something I had almost forgotten.

Clean the sponge as you normally would then rinse to get out residual
soap, detergent, etc,

Place in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes.

Remove and place in top rack of dishwasher to drain.

Another case of reinventing the wheel.

Enjoy.

Soak the sponge and stick it in the microwave on high for 2 minutes. If there is any soap in it, it will bubble, but they die down pretty quickly.

Let it cool, as it will be very hot. All nasties will be dead and you won't have wasted any water.
