Grout Sponge Questions

So first I did search and cannot find my answer.

So I just ordered some of these. Shop ProLine Polyurethane Sponge at Lowes.com

And I heard that you are suppose to cut squares into them? If so, how big and how deep? If anyone has pictures of their grout sponge that would be awesome. Thanks!

I have a Lake Country blue wash sponge with squares already cut into it. Never thought of the idea of getting a grout sponge and doing the same. But i hear grout sponges work great and cutting squares would increase surface area and help pull away dirt. Maybe i'll give it a try!

I guess you'd size them for what you intend to use them for. The grout sponges I get are about 6"x8", and for tire dressing I cut the 8" dimension into quarters or thirds (or bigger for high profile tires like on a truck). For interior you might cut one of the pieces above in half. A bread knife or serrated knife works well to cut them.

been using those proline tie & grout sponges for years and they are only $2 and last a good while (even softer when wet). no need to cut lines into them, they work just fine right out of the bag. btw, ive used the lake country sponge and didn't care for it, it's too thick and not manuevarable into tight spaces...

Yep, essentially any place you'd use one of the specialty foam applicators that cost about 5 bucks each, you can use a piece of grout sponge cut to any size/shape, for about a factor of ten cheaper (that's being conservative). Tires, trim, dash/doors, seats, spot engine detailing, applying wax to a wheel, etc.
