No sponge. Handi-wipes and paper towels. I cut the handi-wipes
in half, and use one (mostly for wiping counters) until it looks
unappealing, then I throw it away. I don't tend to put food right
on the counters, so I don't care if they're sanitized. Hell, I don't
care if anything is sanitized; I have a fully functioning immune
system.

I use paper towels for what little hand dishwashing I do (sharp
knives, anything that's too big for the dishwasher).
