Content: however, DO NOT GET THEM WET. This will ruin the sponge and defeat the purpose. It is important to realize, your hands can’t be sweaty or wet. Make sure your hands are completely dry. Wearing gloves will help with this. Any moisture when cleaning smoke on a flat paint surface will cause staining. When your sponge gets dirty you can remove a thin layer of the dirty area with rough sandpaper or a fine grater. My favorite, is a piece of rough commercial scrubbing machine pad. If you have a janitorial store near you, buy a rough scrubbing pad used for scrubbing machines. Cut a small piece and rub on the sponge keeping it even.
