How To Get The Most Out Of Magic Sponges

To get more life out of your sponges, try these things out:

1. Cut each sponge into 4 equal-sized pieces (across the shortest width of the eraser, rather than lengthwise). This way, you get 4 times the amount of cleaning out of one spongr 2. _Lightly_ mist it with water (by misting or using the kitchen sink sprayer), rather than saturating it with water — which causes it to shrivel up more. 3. Scrub _lightly_, then wipe the area with a wet towel to prevent smearing the dirt/grime and remove any residue. 4. When it starts to get yucky (after cleaning a few different items), simply spray rinse it again to revive it a bit. Then squeeze the excess water out, and continue using it until it starts to shred.
