According to the article that would just clear out 99% of the bacteria and make room for whatever is resistant and potentially more dangerous. So killing the bacteria that is present is not enough, you would also want to populate it with some benign bacteria to put up a fight so that worse stuff dosent take over, or as the article says, throw the sponge out every week and get a new one.
