Are you supposed to add a cleanser/soap when using this type of sponge?

You can, I often use it with my sensitive skin foaming face wash by rubbing the foam on first and then using this to clean it back off. Works good for me!

I don't believe you are supposed to, but you can. I don't. I wash my face with a cleanser beforehand, rinse, then use the sponge on my face to exfoliate and remove any EXCESS makeup. Because this is a delicate, natural sponge, I don't think it should be used to initially scrub off all of your makeup. This doesn't bother me, because I find that with any exfoliating product, I have to wash my face more than once to remove makeup, anyway (and I only wear mascara and powder foundation). Hope this helps!

My sponge was dry in the package, so I would imagine you could buy it and keep it in there for a while before using it. I was super excited to use it so I ripped into that sucker! Enjoy!

Nope -- I have just used the simplehuman soap and softsoap which both work perfectly. The lighter consistency soaps are best.

I used the sponge that came inside the container. Initially the sponge became very saturated with the cleaning solution. I soon discovered that rinsing the sponge with water solved that problem. After applying I used a clean cloth to remove residue and shine. Hope this helps.

You don't need anything else for the filter. It has everything included. The cleaning all depends on the amount of food and fish waste. It's simple to clean , you pop it open clean the sponge and back together ready to go again. Hope this helps

It's not a sponge mop. There are disposable cloths that you attach to it. I use microfiber cloths and push them around with the mop.

Warm water and mild soap works for me. I use the sponge with the Teflon scrubber After the pan has cooled, as soon as possible.

Hi Barbara,That's is perfectly fine. We are improving and transitioning to a new packaging which comes in new dry form.Once you soak the sponge in the water, it will become very softHow to care for this new dry type is the same. Once you are done using the sponge, squeeze out all access water and hang it to dry in a dry area.Once every 2 weeks, we recommend sanitizing by either putting it in boiling water for 1-2 min or putting it in a bowl of water and microwave it for 1:30 minIf you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at info@mykonjacsponge.com.

The BEST way is to wipe it out w/paper towels upon rinsing. Avoid "scratchy" cleaners always, but you can remove past buildup w/those "safe for Teflon" dishwashing sponges. Hope this helps!

ALways use very gentle soft sponge. Do not scrub! Better to wash it once you're done with cooking your meal otherwise soak it in water for a while before you wash it.

You take the rough side of a sponge and under running water just scrub. We have the blue sponges which don't scratch. I did it first, but the water still ran slowly, so my husband scrubbed harder and then it worked like new. This is the first time in 6+ months that we've had to clean them. There are videos on YouTube if you want to see someone do it, but it's really not hard.

Simple dish soap and water, just like a sponge. Make sure you wring it out really well. Give it a good squeeze to get out most of the water so bacteria doesn't grow. Then let it dry out. It won't take long to dry if you wring it out well. In case you haven't noticed, that is the key.

Actually yes I've been experimenting with that of late. Helps to remove all the old soap first. So far it's working. I've been doing it for a couple of months now. It appears it's like enough to work. And I'm happy that. Let me know otherwise if you have a different experience.

I pretty much had the same question myself after opening the product and reading the manual. The sponge given is different from the sponge that is listed in the manual. The manual says that there are two small sponges, and a large one. I find only the large one. That is strange!

I have not used these sponges in the shower but it is worth a try. Make sure you have something powerful to breakdown the soap scum. Ugh, soap scum, my nemisis!

I would start with the gentlest, sponge then if that was ineffective, I would use a cloth. My last choice would be the plastic scrubber

I prefer to have a couple sponges for each cycle, so I alternate between the two. I usually disinfect the sponge I used that day by first rinsing in warm water then soaking it in a mix of 1/3 hydrogen peroxide and 2/3 water, soak it for about 15 minutes then wash it again with warm water and let it dry for the evening. I clean whichever sponge I used for the day that same evening.
