Clean Your Grill Before the Winter Season

Cleaning grill with monster scrubby sponges

It’s just about the time to put away the grill. We’ve had some decent fall weather lately, so you might as well use your grill a couple more times before the cold weather starts to really hit. Cleaning your grill can be tough from all the cooking you did this summer, but Sponge Outlet’s products can help you clean it thoroughly!

Attack the Grease and Grime!

With all the burgers, hotdogs, steaks, and chicken you’ve cooked on your grill this summer, you’ll need something tough and strong to get the grease and grime off the grill.

  • First, you may want to turn the grill on and get the flames going to heat up the grime that is caked on the top of the grill.
  • Our Grease & Grime Grabber is a scouring pad made from recycled plastic bottles that can get the toughest grime and grease off the grill. If it’s caked on, these will do the job. After, just toss the pad out.
  • For other food caked on the grill, we can offer you our Heavy-Duty Green Scrubber Pad, which is excellent for cleaning grills. It gets the burnt-on food off of the grill.

Monster Scrubby Sponge for the Home Stretch

Our Monster Scrubby Sponge is the perfect cleaning item for the home stretch. This strong and durable sponge stiffens in cold water and turns plush and soft when under warm water. This product is non-scratch and durable, so if you’re worried about scratches and marks on your grill, the monster scrubby will prevent that from happening.

Cleaning Your Desk for Home Use

Working from home can be very convenient when you have time to be alone in your own home office. The key to getting work done is to keep your desk clean and organized, so it doesn’t give you any anxiety or stress during the work week.  At the end of a long day, it can be easy to get up and leave work without cleaning up the space in front of you. It’s recommended to clean up your desk even after you work to eliminate germs, dust, and other particles.

Eating at Your Desk

We all eat at our desks on occasion, especially if we’re in work mode and don’t feel like stepping away to take a break from the work. If you’re done drinking that cup of coffee, rinse out the mug. If you’re done eating the food in that bowl, get rid of it. Make sure to get rid of your food or scraps after you are done. Clean up the space.

  • Purchase an eraser sponge, a good cleaning solution, clear your desk completely off, and wipe it down. This will help ensure that dust, grime, crumbs, and germs are eliminated.

Remove the Dust

You want to protect your technology from dust settling in. You can easily wipe down a computer or laptop with a microfiber towel. It won’t scratch the screen and it won’t leave behind small particles.

Reorganizing the Desk

After a successful day of working from home, it’s important to reorganize your workspace to get it ready for the next day. We tend to keep things “just in case” but if you haven’t used that memo pad in four years, you probably don’t have a purpose for it.

Clean Out Your Oven like a Pro

woman cleaning oven using scrubby sponge

Cleaning out the oven can be a hassle, but it is definitely something you need to be doing if you want to make sure your oven is perfect for your next cooking or baking experience. Fall is right around the corner, which means your oven will be used quite frequently for big meals and desserts. Here is why you should clean out the oven thoroughly before the season hits.

Don’t Use Harsh Chemicals

White vinegar and baking soda will do the trick when cleaning your oven. You don’t need to use chemicals, and you shouldn’t.  This cleaning formula that you can make in your own home will attack the grease and grime, while saving you a good amount of money on other harsh cleaning solutions. Mixing vinegar with baking soda creates a foamy mixture; let it sit on greasy spots for 30 minutes, and then use our scrubby sponge to scrub it clean.

Shelves Need to Be Cleaned

Remove the shelves from your oven before cleaning them. Soak them in your baking soda mixture for 30 minutes, and rinse, using one of our gentle microfiber towels. To do this the right way, you can put them in a sealable plastic bag for them to soak in the mixture.

Smells and Food

If you’re using your oven quite often, the oven can carry some old food smalls and other smells. There also can be some straggler crumbs hanging out in the oven. You’re going to want to get rid of those as well when you’re cleaning it out. To get rid of smells, use an oven-safe bowl filled with water and a few drops of vanilla or citrus extract. Place the bowl in the oven, and slowly heat the oven for about an hour.

Tips on Cleaning out Your Fridge

A kitchen appliance that gets often overlooked when cleaning is your fridge. This is something you should be paying attention to on a regular basis, or else you’ll regret it later when it gets to be a mess.  And when it gets to be a mess, no one wants to try and clean it. Attack the problem before there is a problem! Here are some tips:

Supplies You’ll Need:

  • Gloves
  • Garbage Can
  • Recycling Container
  • Toothbrush or Small Scrubbing
  • Eraser Sponge
  • Cloths
  • Baking Soda

Take out all the food in your fridge

  • While you’re checking all the food in your fridge, throw out the expired food and leftovers that aren’t needed anymore.  Remove all the food and keep it away from all of your cleaning supplies.

Clean out all the extra crumbs and food items in the fridge

After removing crumbs, use your eraser sponge to wipe down everything in the fridge. Take out the drawers and shelves and wipe them down separately. Use the sponge on the walls of the fridge and the outside of the fridge too.

Putting food back into the fridge

  • When putting the foods back in their place, wipe down the containers. Jelly can get sticky awfully quick and make it hard to clean up later.
  • Consider putting down shelf liners on the shelves and drawers. These peel off easily and will help keep everything cleaner for longer.
  • On a weekly basis, go through your fridge and get rid of foods you haven’t eaten that are going stale. Do this on garbage night so you don’t get stuck with funky smells.

Here’s How to Clean Your Windows

microfiber towels from Sponge Outlet

There are ways to clean your windows in your home without using chemicals and sprays. It’s important to not fill your indoor air with harmful chemicals.  Let’s see how you can naturally clean them, so you don’t end up polluting your air.

 Use a Microfiber Cloth

A lint-free damp microfiber cloth is chemical-free, easy to use, and very inexpensive. This reusable cloth only needs to be rinsed and wrung out to clean it. This makes it very simple to use and reuse without having to throw away the chemically drenched paper towels.

Using a microfiber cloth instead of paper towels is better for the environment and your wallet. Like a chamois cloth, a microfiber cloth cleans so well on its own, with the help of just a little water, no cleaners are necessary.

Microfiber cloths not only clean your windows, but they also dust and polish them, to help give them a brilliant shine, naturally.

Most microfiber and chamois cloths can be used for more than just cleaning your windows.

Additional cleaning uses include: counters, stove tops, tubs, sinks and showers

Use a Chamois Cloth

A chamois, which is pronounced sham-wa, is the perfect choice for dusty, but not dirty windows. Dampen the chamois with just a little water, and your window will wipe the dust off effortlessly, without any harsh chemical left from sprays or cleaners.

A chamois is a synthetic cloth best known for its use of drying cars, but many people do not realize that is also perfect for cleaning the windows in your house, office or car. After cleaning your windows with a chamois, soak the cloth for a few minutes in warm water and soap, then rinse it clean and hang it to dry in your home, away from sunlight. It is not machine-washable.

Clean Your Bathroom with Eraser Sponges

Sponge Outlet bathroom clean

Here’s how to deep clean your bathroom with the help of Instant Erase eraser sponges!

Fully Cleaning the Bathroom Shower

Take the shower head off the wall and place in a bag with white vinegar. Let that sit overnight, so that it soaks. Soaking it in vinegar will help to dissolve any mineral build-up and help unclog the shower head’s holes. Take down your shower curtains and wash them in your washer with a few towels.  The towels will provide extra scrubbing power for the shower liner.

Finally, using an Instant Erase eraser sponge, clean all the areas of your shower including the corners and edges of the shower, the shower door and tiles. The melamine eraser sponge works great to clean tile grout. Since the sponges only use water and gentle scrubbing to clean, leave a sponge in the shower at all times for quick cleans in-between showers.

Use an Eraser Sponge on Bathroom Walls

Use the Eraser Sponge to remove all mildew spots from tiles and grout. If you come across very stubborn spots use a tooth brush with bleach to get it clean. The eraser sponge is a great product to use when you’re looking to get a spotless shower and bathroom.

Scrub the Toilet  

Put a cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl and let it sit for a few minutes then scrub with a toilet brush. If there are any spots on the rim or edge, use a piece of an eraser sponge to remove them.  Use the eraser sponge to scrub the toilet seat and the outside of the toilet. Dispose of the sponge when finished.

Now, you need to clean the toilet brush.  Using the toilet seat to hold the brush between the bowl and the seat, pour a mixture of bleach and water over it. Let it air dry. Then, clean out the brush holder by letting it soak in soapy water.

Clean spots and grime on the sink

Use white vinegar to pour down the drain and flush with hot water. Flushing the drain with vinegar and water will help remove any clogs or buildup in your drain plus it will destroy smells. Use a new eraser sponge to clean the faucet and vanity top.

Here’s a hack from ApartmentTherapy.com,   use a chop stick  to get underneath faucets,  around handles and into corners, in order to remove dirt and grime from hard-to-reach areas of your bathroom. Alternately, you can also use dental floss to pull out all of the grime from tiny cracks under the faucet handles.  If you need more scrubbing power, try using a thin and flexible melamine eraser sheet.

With the use of the right products, your bathroom will be sparkling clean in no time. Sponge Outlet sells top cleaning brands for less, helping you get the job done at a fraction of the cost.

How to Properly Clean Your Dishwasher

How to Keep Your Dishwasher Clean

Your dishwasher is one of the hardest working appliances in your kitchen, considering it cleans the grime and food off your dishware. It makes sure your dishes, glasses, silverware, and cooking accessories are sparkly clean.  Keeping it clean and well-maintained will help get dishes as clean as possible and also extend the life of the appliance.

Clean the Gasket Seal Around the Dishwasher Tub

The plastic or rubber-like seal around a dishwasher tub helps to secure it and prevent any water leakage. Over time, the seal can become dirty and possibly smell. Use an eraser sponge  to remove any dirt, grime or food particles from the seal. Check the racks and  the silverware basket to make sure they are clean as well. Over time, dirt can build-up and food particles can become trapped, especially inside the basket.  Some silverware baskets are removable and can be cleaned in the sink. An eraser sponge can also help remove dirt and grime from racks and the basket.

Remove and Clean the Dishwasher Filter 

Check the bottom of the rack or consult your owner’s manual to see if there is a removable filter that should be cleaned.  Many newer-models of dishwasher have a filter that can be removed and washed out in the sink.  The filter traps food and other foreign objects from being sucked into the dishwasher pump and damaging or clogging it. To clean any filters, pull out the bottom rack and check for a removable filter. You may also have protective caging at the bottom of your dishwasher that is removable as well. Unsnap it and rinse it off in the sink with a sponge. Snap the caging or replace the filter back into place once it is clean.

Run a Cleaning Cycle 

Many modern dishwashers have a cleaning cycle that can be run to clean the inside of the dishwasher. Use a commercial dishwasher cleaner,  or else place a cup of plain white vinegar in the top rack of the dishwasher and  run a normal cycle. Some blogs suggest using bleach to clean your dishwasher, however if the inside of your dishwasher is stainless steel this can lead to corrosion and damage. As ever, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to extend the life of your dishwasher and minimize maintenance.

Use the Eraser Sponge with Your Pet

Dog making a mess on your floor

Having a pet as a member of your family is truly a great experience, but there comes a price with it like everything else. Cleaning up after your pet can be annoying because it’s usually a common occurrence. Whether it’s cleaning up their eating area or cleaning up an accident they had in the house, an eraser sponge is the way to go.

Why the Eraser Sponge?

As parents of animals, we don’t always have the time to grab a bucket, fill it with water, and wet a mop, to wipe up floors; or time to get down on our knees with a bucket full of water and a sponge to clean up scuffed cabinet doors. The eraser sponge makes it easy to clean up spills, scuffs, and dirty paw prints in a snap. Also, it is simple to use for cleanup, so you can show your kids how to clean with it. The eraser sponges from Sponge Outlet are strong enough to use on almost any grit, grime or dirt without compromising your counter-tops, walls, floors or other surfaces.

Giving a small child a mop and bucket of water can create even more of a mess than the one you were attempting to clean.

  • Keep the eraser sponges handy, and have your kids watch you clean up scuffs and marks left by your pets; then engage them in the activity with you.

After using this technique, your kids will be able to always clean up after your pet makes some kind of a mess. An eraser sponge is your all-purpose cleaning tool for households with pets. You won’t need to switch up from a sponge to a mop.

You can clean all your pet’s messes with the eraser sponge; making the clean-up process easier and quicker. Now you can get back to the other tasks on your to-do-lists.

If you’re looking for an easier way to clean up after your pet’s mess, contact Sponge Outlet at 877-776-6430 to find out more on our eraser sponges and how they can help with pet messes.
