is this a sponge or is it the one that has to be soaked before use?

Yes, it must be soaked for only 60 seconds. I soak it a bit longer........easier on my arthritis when I wring it out. I love this sponge because it pretty much squeegees the floor.......virtually no drying time needed. Those other mops that have those cellulose sponges just smear the water around the floor, and take forever to dry. This one also has deep grooves, which grab the dirt instead of moving it back and forth. I love this mop!

I use the green or blue sponges that have a plastic side for cleaning. Sometimes soft scrub.

I didn't get this one, but the bone sponge which is made from the same material can go in the dishwasher. It says clearly on the package that it is dishwasher safe. I haven't tried it yet.

It's sort of rubberized. I would wash it in the kitchen sink with a sponge and some dish soap and dry it with a towel afterwards.

The sponge is used for aiding in moisturizer application. It helps the skin absorb the moisturizer better.

All the previous answers are correct. Also, we recommend to sanitize the sponge once every two weeks. To sanitize the sponge, place the sponge in a bowl of water and microwave it in a normal setting for 1:30 minute.

Yes, sponge is full size and gets much bigger after you have soaked it in water.

It is plastic. This sponge, contrary to its description, is nothing special. It does not "clean up big messes with little effort." It is that sort of sponge material (think 3M, etc) that is NOT absorbent. In my experience the only absorbent sponge is a cellular type, traditional sponge. Yes, it won't scratch, but it also won't clean or scrub efficiently; you will always have to switch to something else. To answer your specific question, if your cooktop is glass, use a straight-edged metal shaving blade to scrape up burned on stuff; if it's a glass cooktop it won't scratch. Then clean using a product like Cerama Brite and elbow grease.

They are regular soft sponges. They work well and there is no rinsing required.

I am honestly not sure about what the directions say, but we have left the sponge inside and everything has worked well.

I don't really know, as I've never used it on a sponge. I use it on pieces of cotton, and it lasts quite a long time--about a month before I have to add more oil. I'm sorry I couldn't help you about the sponge.Julie

You are NOT to use metal utensils, scouring pads or abrasive cleaners; per manufacturer's instructions. A soft sponge, scrub sponge made especially for non-stick cookware, mesh scrubber, or I use an old toothbrush to get to the corners and hard to get off residue. When I soak it for even a little while, it is much easier to get baked on residue off using these methods. I make sure it is completely dry before storing.

Definitely not waterproof, but not a sponge either. The bag you put this in should be waterproof or have a rain cover. This isn't related to your question, but my insert began to unravel at the seems as soon as the warranty ran out. I tried to return it to no avail. Besides that, the bag is very nice and fits perfectly in my old messenger bag.

Use a Teflon safe sponge like scrubeez, and Dawn dish detergent. Soak for a while and then scrub.

I have found that one sponge lasts for about 6 to 12 months, when I was using it every day for at least two weeks each month. If you are just using it for a week each month, I think it would last at least that long, possibly longer. It really depends on how much it is getting rinsed and cleaned. After time, you will be able to see that the sponge is loosing structure and not absorbing as much. That is when I order new.

It's not a sponge mop. There are disposable cloths that you attach to it. I use microfiber cloths and push them around with the mop.

Not unless there is a lot of moisture in the sponge when wiping! I LOVE theses sponges!
