The sponges and dishrags in my sink regularly start to smell
unpleasantly in a way I can only describe as "musty". I'm assuming
that I'm smelling a byproduct of some kind of bacteria that lives in
the kitchen and which loves to digest the cellulose in rags and
sponges.
Researchers(*) in the 60's found a way to eliminate the smell, presumably by retarding the organisms. The solution is to clean with the environmentally friendly Dr Bronners liquid castile soap, peppermint scent. No need to boil, microwave, pressure cook, chlorine treat, peroxide soak, or otherwise work at it.
(*) these researchers were busy licking acid sugar cubes, smoking pot, and eating soy at the time. So they never figured out why this soap does what it does. Ask any old school hippie.
