how to keep the sponge from going stiff


Question Posted Friday February 17 2006, 12:17 pm

I use a sponge to wash my dishes -- wet sponge, squirt on detergent, wash dishes, rinse dishes and sponge, pretty standard. Every time I get out the sponge to wash the dishes again, it's hard and stiff and I have to wet it for it to be flexible. Is this the normal condition for used sponges or is there something I can do to make the sponge soft all the time? I tried rinsing it an extra long time last time, but it's still got hard again.

Yes, it's normal. If you want it soft all the time just put it in water and leave it.

Water dries, like when you spill it on the floor it dries up.
Does the same in the sponge, and usally faster.
no, there isnt a way.

wow
are you just really stupid or what?
could it possibly be that the water in the sponge just dried and evaporated? no, it couldn't possibly be that

This is very normal for sponges. They're supposed to do that. If it really bothers you, try getting a different kind of sponge. There are some types of sponges that remain soft. Just squeeze the package to see if it's soft before you buy it. Good luck!
