Cleaning with soap and water is a mechanical thing. You're making it so that the surfactant action of the soap allows the water to interact with things so as to carry them off. The bacteria survive generally, they are just now somewhere else other than on the dishes. It doesn't really matter how much bacteria are on the sponge.

It's like those touchless soap dispensers they were peddling. "Your hands have germs and you touch the top, eeeewwwww germs!!" Never fucking mind that you are about to wash your hands with soap and will this clean the germs. Consumers are dumb whores.
