Lowes ONR grout sponge...

Alko, just curious, why are you staying away from rinselss washes?

BTW, for anyone interested in the "uber sponge", check it out:

NEW Tile and Grout Aqua Sponge Each Tile & Grout Sponges AF2XL 078572048881 | eBay

I found them even cheaper here:
Amazon.com: Af2l Aqua Utility Sponge: Home & Kitchen
Could they be a different sponge?

I know its twice as much as the "premium" ones sold here and I can't comment on those because I've never used them, just the $2.50 one from Home Depot and I did like it while I used it but when I saw the Aqua sponge I just had to try it and haven't looked back since. IMO spending the extra $5-6 for this isn't that much of a risk and I can honestly say that this sponge is a great product. Maybe someone here will step up and buy one and either back me up or shoot me down on this, LOL!

What's so special about this Aqua sponge that it's worth the cost of 6 Lowes grout sponges?

It looks like the same sponge. If you click on "2 new from $2.40" on the Amazon site one of the sellers is Vanguard Wholesale who is the same seller on Ebay. They sell them cheaper through Amazon even when you add the shipping.

You are soooooooooooo right, great find, too bad I didn't post this sooner

This sponge is super soft and has about a trillion, give or take, pours and that's alot more than the one I have from Home Depot and I guarantee you guys this, go to Amazon and pick yourself up a couple and you'll be hooked. I even tried using my MF mitts and they just don't do anywhere near as good of a job as the grout sponges do.

Once again, GREAT find!

Sounds good, I'll give them a try. How do you find their durability? The Lowes sponges start leaving little bits of sponge on my car after 10 to 20 uses.

I like and use ace grout sponges at 2.20 a piece at their online outlet website {pack of 12 =26.55}. it is very durable unlike lowes yellow colored ones. it looks identical to the aqua sponge posted.

So there was just one shipping charge on the 10 pieces?

I haven't kept count but I know I've used the Aqua sponge more than 20 times between my car as well as my g/f's Mazda 6 and NO issues with it at all. I do take it in the shower with me to clean it after using it, simple shampoo, rub it in and rinse it out (real good) and even stomp on it to get all the dirt out.

Not sure when I'll need a new one, but I'm really glad I commented in here about it, I will now save ALOT of money when I need a new Aqua spnge
