Some of these I knew, some not. Any more tips they haven't listed?

The disinfecting thing reminds me of my son when he was about 13. I came home one day and his ear was pierced. He said his friend did it for him. They used a sewing needle. I said, "did you sterilize the needle?" He said, "yeah, we used the microwave."

I like the cleaning the sponge idea, but not too keen on it smelling like vinegar. I just put mine in the dishwasher. It comes out really clean that way and gets rid of bacteria, too.

I use white vinegar (almost exclusively) for cleaning & disinfecting... surprisingly, it doesn't end up smelling 'vinegary'... just very fresh. I always use vinegar/water on tile and non-porous surfaces (on recommendation from the tile source). However... I too toss my sponges in the dishwasher.
