you squeeze the sponge out after you're done with it
You may notice that a sponge is just less wet after being squeezed and not dry. You'd be shocked how little water microorganisms need. Way less than we need.
Things dry over time if kept in a well ventilated area, especially if they aren't very wet like say a sponge you squeeze the water out of.
Over time being the key thing there. If you're washing dishes once a day even it'd not enough time and that also just makes most bacteria go dormant until it wet again. Sponge bad
That's why you have more than one sponge and you put the wet one on the drying rack with all your dishes
