Here’s how to make sure your home and new room is ready for baby

Clean Hand-Me-Down Furniture

Since babies grow so fast, using used or donated furniture is a great way to save money. You may also have pieces from previous children which you can reuse. Prepare any cribs, changing tables, or rockers by giving them a thorough cleaning. Be careful using cleaners with heavy scents as these can irritate the eyes, skin, nose and throat of a young infant. Use a gentle soap and hot water to disinfect any surfaces.

When it comes to cleaning furniture or walls, an eraser sponge from SpongeOutlet.com contains no harsh chemicals and only uses water and the power of gentle scrubbing to remove dirt and grime. Eraser sponges can also remove adhesive from stickers and marks from crayons from walls and furniture.

Give the Room a Through Dusting – Including the Vents

Keep allergens low and away from your new baby by giving the room and contents a thorough dusting. A damp microfiber cloth or dusting wand will help remove dust. Don’t forget to also dust any vents. Dirty vents can distribute dust and allergens from other areas inside the home. Make sure they are clean and clean any in-room vents as well.

Keep a Cleaning Routine & Cleaning Tools on Hand

After baby comes home, it is important to keep cleaning every day. Keep eraser sponges around to safely clean up any dirt of marks on the crib or changing table. An eraser sponge with soap also has the added advantage of providing gentle disinfecting when used with hot water.

Babies are known for their ability to make a mess out of nothing, so it is important to make those messes easy to clean up. Using disinfecting wipes often combined with frequent use of eraser sponges can keep your baby’s room shining and clean, until they become a toddler. Then, you will need a larger box of sponge erasers for all the artwork they leave you!

Whatever cleaning tools or detergents you decide to use, be sure to keep them out of the reach of tiny hands. Lock them securely inside a cabinet with a baby proof lock, or store them high up in a cupboard and out of the reach of children.

As always, if you’re not entirely sure of using an eraser sponge on any surface, test a non-conspicuous area first. If you still have questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at customerservice@spongeoutlet.com.

 

How to Clean a Bike

cyclist riding bicycle - How to Clean a Bike

During the summer, your bike accumulates dirt and grime after long rides and many uses. Dirt, dust and grime can accumulate on your bike, affecting its performance and causing parts to wear out quicker. That’s why it’s important to keep your bicycle clean.

Don’t use a Hose to Clean Your Bike – Here’s Why

  • A good scrub will remove all the dirt and grime that accumulates on the bike frame. However, you do not want to blast your bike with a garden hose, which can push dirt and water into the bearings, making them age faster or possibly seize up. Instead, use a bucket of water, mild cleaning agent and a non-scratch sponge to clean your bike. A sponge like our Instant Erase Super Star Scrubby, Monster Scrubby- Scratch-Free Sponge, or Duo Cleaning Sponge, would be ideal for cleaning a bike frame.  The non-scratch sponges will not harm the paint, yet will be tough enough to remove caked on mud, scuff marks and other dirt.
  • Immerse the sponge in water and then squeeze the water out over the bike to wet it before using the sponge and soap to clean.
  • For cleaning the gears, use a specialty gears brush, which can reach between the cogs. You may need to remove the bike chain from the chain ring or chain wheel in order to get proper access to the gears.
  • Be sure to clean the bike chain as well. It’s recommended by specialty biking websites to use a degreaser on the bike chain to remove dirt build-up. A gadget called a chain scrubber can be purchased to make it easier to clean the bicycle chain without removing the chain from the bike.
  • Rinse your bike by squeezing clean water over the bike frame to remove the soap and dislodged dirt.
  • Dry your bike using a microfiber towel to prevent rusting. Re-lube the drive chain by manually back peddling the chain while you spray or apply the lube to the chain. Don’t forget the pivot points on the front and rear derailleurs.
  • You can also apply polish to the bike frame to repel dirt and to keep it cleaner longer.

It’s important to clean your bike whenever it’s dirty and especially before you store it away at the end of summer or fall. If you’re looking to keep your bike, motorcycle, or other vehicle clean this summer, shop Sponge Outlet today for all the cleaning supplies you need.

Cleaning Your Bike Before Summer

During the quarantine, we realize people are getting the itch to get out on their bikes. As we encourage everyone to practice social distancing, making sure that your bike is in good shape to ride is always important. As the Spring weather continues all over the country no matter what climate, your bike will go through some tough terrain during these months. Cleaning up the mess is essential for riding your bike. On a nice sunny day, why wouldn’t you rather be basking in the warmth of the sun riding rather than driving?

As any cyclist will tell you, rainwater, sun, and gravel are a few of what you can expect to damage your bike by either causing rust, chipped paint or denting. Aside from those types of damage, everyday dirt can build up into the bike and decrease the bike’s ability to run and function properly.

Routine cleaning is essential to the upkeep of your bike, specifically during the summer months when the bike is in use the most.

The Best Preventative Bike Care is Cleaning with Eraser Sponges

A good scrub will remove all the dirt and grime that accumulates inside and out. How effective your cleaning job will be is based upon the product you plan on using. There are many cleaning solutions on the market but not all can ensure to clean without scratching and stripping of paint.

You can test a product on the smallest part of the bike as a trial run, but that is a risk not needed to take.

The first thing you should do is take one of our monster scrubby sponges to clean off the dirt before you use an eraser sponge. Our eraser sponge is abrasive, which can take the paint off of surfaces, so it’s important that you test it out on different surfaces before your bike.

A solution to your bike cleaning needs is the melamine eraser sponge.

  • This revolutionary sponge has been designed to use on a variety of surfaces, but more specifically for boats and automobiles.
  • Melamine sponges are also very durable and will hold up for a large automobile like a motorcycle.

Keep your bike cleaned after every ride during the springtime, so when summer comes around, it will be easier to keep clean.

How to Clean Skating Arena Boards

If you manage an ice skating arena, you are familiar with the dark scuff marks, puck marks and stains on the boards surrounding the rink. They can be an eye-sore and difficult to quickly clean, especially during the busy season  when ice skaters and hockey teams are constantly using the rink. Here’s how to clean skating arena boards  and get those scuff marks removed.

Cleaning Scuff Marks on Arena Boards

Ice arena boards are made from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), a type of plastic that is perfect for hard impacts and  freezing temperatures. Above the boards are plexiglass that allows visitors to see the action on the rink, but are protected from flying pucks and players.

Whether it’s a hockey rink, ice-skating arena, or roller rink, scuff marks tend to build up throughout weeks of non-stop use.  By using Sponge Outlet’s Cleaning Products, we ensure you will get the job done without using any toxic chemicals. One of the best products to use to quickly clean dasher boards are eraser sponges. Comparable to the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, our eraser sponges can clean with just water and some light scrubbing to remove dark scuff marks and stains. But what eraser sponges are the best to use? Well you have several choices.

  1. Wet eraser sponge
  • Either run it under water or dunk it in a bucket, or spray using a spray bottle of water. Squeeze to remove excess water.
  • Gently scrub the scuff marks and stains with the eraser sponge to remove them.

Monster Scrubby Duo Sponge for Cleaning Dishes

Pile of dirty dishes

Do you always have a difficult time choosing which sponges or scrubs to use to wash your dishes? If so, you don’t have to stress over choosing anymore. The easiest choice is to go with the Monster Scrubby Duo Sponge from Sponge Outlet!

The Downside of Using Cellulose Sponges

Your biggest concern with cleaning your dishes is making sure they’re cleaned thoroughly without leaving any stains or dirty marks. Many times, when you’re using other sponges like cellulose sponges, they won’t get the dishes as clean as you want.

Cellulose sponges have a problem with cleaning because they trap residue and particles in the sponge, which means it will be difficult to rinse out after you’re done cleaning. They usually break down easily because they’re inexpensive, and they tend to start to smell bad after a few uses. Especially when raw egg or raw meat is involved, you definitely do not want to be cleaning with these sponges.

The better choice is a monster scrubby duo from Sponge Outlet!

The Benefits of a Monster Scrubby Duo Sponge

Staying healthy clean should be the number one priority in every kitchen. When cleaning dishes, it’s a smart decision to start using the monster scrubby duo sponge.

Here is why:

  • Non-Scratching Surface
  • Soft in Warm Water
  • Firm and Aggressive in Cold Water
  • Holds Soap w/o Drying up or becoming brittle or nasty
  • Two-sided (for dual use)

The monster scrubby duo sponge does not harden while holding soap causing particles to be trapped. They are easy to rinse out and clean because they become soft in warm water.

If you’re looking to start cleaning your dishes the right way while using a clean and healthy sponge, it’s time to purchase a monster scrubby duo sponge. At Sponge Outlet, we provide cleaning products and supplies for safe cleaning and non-toxic cleaning. Without the name-brand pricing, you can get yourself a reliable and durable monster scrubby duo sponge to clean your dishes the right way.
