How do you keep your kitchen sponges free of bacteria?

Very simple. I don't use sponges. I use wash rags. I use them
once and then they go to the laundry. Much more hygienic.

Yep - cotton dish cloth - sponges and micro-fibre cloth
tend to just move water & crumbs around -
rather than soak them up.
... it's not like a few dish cloths per week is a big deal
on the laundry load.
