Apart from the more traditional sponges I recognize that this one like in time. However it can easily spot faster ... this sponge is not a rapper so it does not not replace sponges scraper but the traditional yellow sponges she can. However this does not mean you have to rush because she is stronger ... I think soon to wash mine because it is seriously very dirty and retract. As is written on the label is the MICROFIBRE polystyrene boxes / polyamide washable at 60 ° ... but you want it's still good retracted to lower temperature ...
