Yeah I feel like i can't smell a foul old coffee cup better than anyone else, but everyone's sponges always smell bad to me. I always hate washing a dish at anyone else's house because the bacteria in their sponge leaves a smell on my hands that doesn't come off from a normal hand washing or three. Rubber gloves also leave a smell on my hands that will make it difficult for me to sleep that night it smells so strong. Latex ones only, though.
