Apparently I am the only one who can smell this odor that is on dish sponges. It it harsh as smelling salts and is like burning chemicals of some kind. It is not on fresh sponges and doesn’t always develop on used sponges. I thought it might be a chemical reaction between the soap and synthetic sponge materials. I tried searching for it online but haven’t found an answer yet.
Kitchen sponges are basically the dirtiest thing in your house, by amount and harmfulness of bacteria contained. It might just be something one of the species gives off.

I know what you mean. Super odd smell.
I know the exact smell you’re talking about! It’s one of the reasons I don’t use sponges.
What is your alternative?
I have a different reason, but just a nice sturdy brush, and the hard edge to scrape anything stuck on.
