Troubleshooting

Sponge is difficult to rinse clean

Ensure you are using plenty of clean water to flush out all residue. For very stubborn grime, a mild detergent can be used, followed by thorough rinsing.

Sponge appears to be degrading quickly

This sponge is designed for tough tasks but may degrade faster with excessive abrasive use or exposure to harsh chemicals. Ensure you are using it appropriately for its intended purpose and rinse thoroughly after each use.

Sponge retains odors

Rinse thoroughly after each use and allow to air dry completely. Storing in a damp environment can lead to odors. A light bleach solution can be used for disinfection if necessary, followed by extensive rinsing.

Compatibility: This sponge is compatible with most common cleaning solutions and water.
