Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

What about dousing the sponge with boiling water and then letting it dry in the sunshine? My Japanese neighbor long ago sang the praises of sunshine-dried laundry. Sponges can't be any different.

My dh worked fixing microwaves some years back, and through all his training and experience he says there are no dangers from microwaves, as long as they are in full working order.

But we don't have one anyway Not because I don't believe him but because we have no space for it. It was on top of the fridge freezer and felt unsafe there so it was used hardly at all and one day I just thought of how much nicer the kitchen would look without it and so it was gone. It's up the attic for now, because I would like to use it for dying wool with food colouring.
