ProPlus Epoxy Prewipe Sponge

OMG YES worth every penny!! I am a DIY person thought epoxy was the worst before this sponge and that perhaps I had ruined a beautiful custom bathroom tile job because of the grout. Use this when epoxy is about an hour of being worked in and then "scrub" the excess off the tile like a pro, finishing with a final wipe with a towel or rag literally leaving little to no grout haze to clean after. This works great with the epoxy grout cleaner I got from amazon called professionals choice epoxy grout film remover even on old thick haze that has been on a year! This made the nightmare expectation into a doable job. Remember if you are new to epoxy grout separate your activator or simply use what you have only in small amounts. It goes a long way towards removing your panic ones it starts drying and you see all your haze left to clean later. I thought I'd be cheap last time and buy the epoxy sponge from Home Depot and lowes, if I had only known what a true epoxy sponge was like I would have never butted an eye about the cost or wait from amazon.

Epoxy grout clean up is hard enough. Regular sponges wont get it done. This does... not without work... but does.

Really wanted to like this sponge but it literally just crumbles when ever i used it.

It's very unusual that the local home centers,which carry epoxy grout, don't carry epoxy grout sponges although they have other related items like epoxy grout pads. The difference between a regular sponge and this one is day and night when using epoxy grout. This one doesn't get clogged as quickly as a normal sponge to allow you to finish the job with one sponge only. Plus it does a better job of cleaning the epoxy grout. Unfortunately, for a quantity of one, it's rather expensive with free shipping. Therefore, I ordered a few from one of the sellers that charged much less for the item but added a flat shipping charge. This way the price of the sponge came down to about half for quantity of 4 (which I needed for multiple sessions).

Worked great for wiping off epoxy grout, but its epoxy, and if the sponge is not cleaned and rises off thoroughly and immediately then it will harden and no longer be useable. Just lightly rising and leaving in a bucket of water until your next wipe with the same sponge is not enough, the sponge will harden pretty quickly even in the bucket of water. So from my experience, if you're using the sponge with epoxy grout then expect it to be a single use. Not really the sponges fault, but before purchasing, consider the price of the sponge for a single use.

When working with epoxy grout made a huge difference compared to a regular sponge. Good quality, didn't flake or fall apart or get in my epoxy. Made clean up much easier.

These work great for the initial cleaning of Spectralock epoxy grout. Use these to loosen any grout on the tile surface with an easy circular motion. It takes a couple of passes for the cleaning solution to start to work effectively. These will smooth the joint surfaces and leave a liquid haze. Follow up with the wiping passes using the regular sponges which seem to work far better for cleaning off the liquefied haze. Use microfiber cloths for the second cleaning one hour after the first cleaning. Do a final wipe-down with clean water then dry the surface with a dry microfiber cloth.

Perfect for wiping down epoxy grout. It's heavy and durable enough to use for a few shower floors at least.
