Really good idea to keep your sponge/scourer dry between washing sessions, don't leave it in the sink to stay moist and help bacteria survive.
I often nuke the sponge/scourer in the microwave. Add soap, some water, put in bowl or plate and nuke on high for 2 minutes.
Also has the benefit of steaming up the inside of the microwave and makes the microwave easier to clean.
