Best Answer

Fill a bowl with hot tap water. Add some automatic dishwashing detergent, or dawn if you don't have a dishwasher. Ring the sponge out thoroughly then put it in the bowl and let it soak for 20 min or so. The dishwashing detergent contains bleach and usually an oxygenating agent, both of which will kill the anaerobic bacteria living in your sponge and giving it its pungent aroma. Automatic dishwashing detergent is also usually lemon scented, which will help make it smell better too.
