How to clean sponges after a wash
How does everyone clean their sponges after a wash? I've read assorted threads about soaking in clean wash bucket, using power washer, soaking in dawn, soaking in APC... Just wanted to get any further thoughts in one updated post.
I have both Lowe's grout sponges and some Zymol sponges (if that makes a difference).
Thanks!!

perhaps its time to mix up a little DP Pad Rejuvinator ??? It helps to clean pads, towels and more.

So I can put a sponge in the washing machine? I figured that would destroy it? Though I guess on cold or warm water it would be ok? And no drier?

no need to put the sponges/grout sponges in the washer. after i'm done, i run it under the hose and massage all the dirt/debris/soap out (it releases easily) and then squeeze/swing all the water before laying it on the grit guard to dry. easy as that...

Re: How to clean sponges after a wash
For the grout sponges I've found that soaking them in dawn dish soap does nothing. What I've found best is a stiff bristle brush, dawn dish soap and some water in the bathroom sink. The key seems to be suds. The suds will penetrate deep into the sponge and carry out all the dirt when its wringed out. It takes 5-10mins or maybe even 20mins if its from a really dirty car or wheels.
I'm looking for a better way to clean up everything.
