Heather, regarding the sponges. My transplant clinics food & home safety instructor from Fred Hutchinson advised to rinse them and put the damp sponges in the microwave for 1 minute before using again. She assured us the studies they've done show this to be fully effective. We kept 2 glass containers near our sink, 1 each for clean & dirty sponges & microwaved the dirty sponges daily (more if we ran out of the clean ones).
Though if your clinic suggested not using sponges this is likely what is follow if I was a patient at your clinic.
Best,
