And here I've been wasting my time rinsing my wash media in the basement sink and throwing it in the washer!

The LC sponge WAS pretty nice. Until I had a really dumb idea to wash it in a washing machine. It turned into a million blue little sponges. But, I quit using sponges. Seems to me that a sponge would keep dirt on the surface on the sponge since the surface is pretty flat. I know the LC sponge is reticulated, but the slits don't open up when dragging it across a panel. I have nothing at all to back this up. Just seems like a MF or wool mit is safer.

Its all about multi-tasking and besides, I'm recycling the waste water and stomping on it gets EVERYTHING out of it too!

Those worried about a sponge holding dirt on the top and it scratching your paint, well, with all the pores it has the dirt just goes inside the sponge, its all good, trust me/us

I'm guessing the grout sponge found at the local Home Depot will do an adequate job as well? If it does, and will not leave scratches, then I have a virtually limitless supply of OTC wash sponges. Life is good.

I realize this is an old post, but for those searching....Lowe's gs was a ProLine K-28P. It is now sold in a 2-pack, model K-56P. Or you can buy directly from paintUSA.net and get a case of 12 for $6 plus shipping.
Hope this helps someone searching as much as I was until I figured it out.

i'm down to my last proline tile & grout sponge still in the package. i've checked two lowes locations and none of them carry them anymore, while some say they can still get them. go figure...

Lowes Proline 2 pack grout sponge

haven't used that one ^ but if it's the same as the tile & grout sponge (don't know if it's been discontinued and replaced with that), then it's a winner...
