Having seen news reports showing the maid service using the same rags/sponges used to wipe down toilet seats used on bathroom counters and sinks, I would never put anything in the sink to "sterilize" it. BTW The maids wear rubber gloves while working in the bathroom - washing the toilet bowl then going on to wiping down glasses (rather than replacing them with fresh clean ones). The fecal occult bacteria is on everything in the bathroom - and often found in the hallway ice machine courtesy of ice buckets cleaned by the same maids. Gross.
