Summer Cleaning!

Summer Cleaning!

With June in full swing, summer is just around the corner! It’s time for BBQs, outdoor relaxing, and other summer activities. While we all can’t wait to enjoy nice weather, there is still plenty to clean before it’s time to kick back. Here is a list of outdoor items you may have forgotten about that could use some extra attention before summer!

  1. Grill and BBQ Accessories: Take time to inspect your grill. Scrubbing the grates and cleaning out grease from the drip tray are essential. Don’t forget to clean your accessories like spatulas, tongs, and grill brushes.
  2. Patio Furniture: Over winter and spring, your patio furniture may have been collecting dirt, pollen, and grime. Before you have an outdoor gathering, consider giving your cushions, tables, and chairs a deep clean with one of our classic eraser sponges!
  3. Outdoor Lighting: Check your light fixtures to ensure they’re ready for late summer evenings. Dirt, bugs, and debris can clutter your light fixtures. Replacing any burnt-out blubs is critical as well.
  4. Outdoor Toys and Equipment: Having kids or pets means you probably have toys or equipment scattered around your yard. Make sure to wash any dirty toys or play equipment so they can be enjoyed!
  5. Outdoor Rugs and Mats: Shake off those outdoor rugs and use a vacuum to remove dirt and debris. Wash rugs and mats as needed and be sure to let them dry thoroughly before placing them back outdoors.

By giving these outdoor items some extra attention, you’ll fully be able to enjoy the summer season without worrying about cleaning chores hanging over your head! So grab your eraser sponge, soap, and get to work! It’s time for summer cleaning!

Scrub Your Boat Before Putting it in Storage

cleaning boat with eraser sponges

Whether you’re using your boat on the lake, or in the ocean, you will want to make sure you keep it clean, especially before winter storage. Salt or other forms of grime and scum can build up and damage your investment.

Spray Down Your Entire Boat with Water

Spray your boat down with water starting from the top and working your way down.  If there is salt, give it a few minutes to let everything dissolve after spraying with water. Then, hose it down again. It is best to have your boat lifted in order to get to the undersides as well and spray down the engines. A pressure washer works wonders.

As for cleaning products, there are plenty of commercial boat cleaners on the market. Just make sure to check that they are suitable for your boat’s material. Apply using an absorbent sponge or soft scrub brush.

Clean the Livewell or Baitwell

The livewell or baitwell is sure to have gathered some nasty stains and smells throughout the season. For the interior, a non-toxic cleaner is best as it will not be detrimental to any fish or bait placed inside the livewell. Baking soda and water will help neutralizer any odors and is a great non-toxic cleaner. Use an eraser sponge with a scrubber pad from SpongeOutlet.com to scour any stains or water scum from the interior. Be sure to rinse well.

Clean Vinyl Seats and Consoles

Eraser sponges can also be used for detailed cleaning without harsh chemicals on vinyl seats and plastic consoles. Use them to remove scuff dirt and grime and scuff marks. For cleaning larger areas, consider using SpongeOutlet’s Giant Sized Boat Eraser Sponges.

Be sure to protect vinyl seats from the UV rays of the sun, by using a protective seat cleaner. Protective cleaners will help prevent any cracking or discoloration caused by sunlight. Wipe off cleanser with a microfiber towel.

Sponge Outlet is your source for boat eraser sponges, microfiber towels and other cleaning supplies.

 

 

 

Cleaning Your New Baby’s Room

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.

Tips for Cleaning Your Bike this Summer

Cleaning your bike this summer

In 2020, people were desperate to get out and enjoy the weather since most of us were staying indoors and social distancing. Many people rushed to bike stores and bought out so many bikes. It seemed as if bikes were hard to come by last year. This year, we’re expecting to see more bikers out than ever. In the summer months, your bike can have some dirt and grime after long rides and many uses. It’s important to clean your bike thoroughly throughout the summer.

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 on 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 Way to Prevent a Dirty Bike is to Clean It

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.

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

  • This revolutionary sponge has been designed to use on a variety of surfaces, but more specifically for boats and automobiles.
  • The non-abrasive sponge works well and easily to clean and polish in one movement.
  • Melamine sponges are also very durable and will hold up for a large automobile like a motorcycle.

If you’re looking to keep your bike, motorcycle, or other vehicles and items clean this summer, contact Sponge Outlet at 877-776-6430 today or visit us online for more information!

The Health Benefits of Cleaning Your Bedroom

Dust can gather on many surfaces in your bedroom such as dressers, the floor, closets, nightstand, and much more. Dusting is an important cleaning task that needs to be done regularly. When you clean the dust in your room that has gathered, you’re benefitting your health. Dust can cause breathing problems and bad indoor air quality.

Your mental health can also benefit from regular cleaning. When you are able to keep your bedroom organized, tidy, and clean, your brain can function properly. Cleaning can reduce stress and anxiety. Many young professionals are working remotely in their homes or apartments due to the change of workspace caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic. If your bedroom is your workspace, keeping it tidy will allow you to be more productive with work.

How Should I Clean My Room?

First, it’s very important to keep your room neat and tidy. This means, doing laundry and putting it away immediately is crucial. Keep your surfaces free of dust and garbage. Organize your belongings, and make sure your workspace is clear of any material distractions.

Keeping the Salt Stains Off Your Car and Clothes

Cleaning your shoes and items during the winter months

The winter season brings us snowy and cold weather. We already know that, and we also know that salt can play a major role in keeping items we own dirty throughout the winter. Salt is used to de-ice the roads, but it also likes to attach itself to our cars, clothes, and boots. Some of the biggest problems that we have to face throughout the winter are the salt stains that coat our cars and boots.

Whether you’re out shoveling your driveway or on your way to work, it is inevitable that you will get snow – and salt – on your footwear and vehicle on a daily basis during the winter season.

Sponge Outlet has a few cleaning tricks to make sure your car, as well as your boots are clear of the salt stains, so you won’t create more of a mess in your home or car.

Cleaning Vehicles of Salt

The salt stains that coat your vehicle aren’t just an unattractive nuisance; they can actually do a lot of damage to your paint job.

  • To keep your car looking its best, we recommend spot cleaning your vehicle with a microfiber towel dipped in a mixture of water and vinegar.

This cleaning solution is gentle on your vehicle’s paint but tough on salt, and the microfiber towel will keep any scratches from occurring as you wipe the car down.

Removing Salt from Footwear

Waterproofing your boots will keep them from getting wet throughout the winter months, but they’re not full proof on keeping the salt stains off the boots. There are a few different techniques for de-salting footwear, but the Instant Erase Shoe/Sneaker Cleaner provided by us is the best option to clean your footwear during the winter season.

This cleaner is tough on dirt without leaving behind residue that will harm your shoes. You can expect your footwear to last much longer throughout the years if you use this product to clean your shoes during the winter season. It can be a pain to clean your shoes constantly during the winter, but the Instant Erase Shoe/Sneaker Cleaner makes it that much easier.

The Benefits of Cleaning Your Fridge Out Frequently

Cleaning Fridge with Eraser Sponges

Our refrigerators can build up after a while due to un-eaten leftovers, food that has gone bad, and new groceries. Most homeowners will clean out their fridge every once in a while, but in reality, it’s very important to clean it out more frequently when you buy groceries. If you’re getting new groceries, you should be clearing out the old stuff and throwing it out. Other things can build up like spills and other food. This is a good sign your fridge needs to be cleaned out.

Use an Eraser Sponge to Clean

An eraser sponge from Sponge Outlet will help you easily clean those tough stains, leftover food, and spilled liquids within the refrigerator. It won’t take much time to do so, and if you’re planning to clear out your fridge, it’s always a good idea to keep it clean during the week.

What Can an Eraser Sponge Clean?

  •  Drink Spills
  • Leftover or spilled food in fridge
  • Stains/Mold

When food goes bad, there can be a build-up of mold and mildew. If your fridge has this, it can be dangerous to you. Mold and mildew in the air is not healthy for you or your family, which is why it’s vital to clean out your fridge of leftovers and old food. Bread, milk, and other foods go bad rather quickly if you don’t pay attention or consume them.

The Benefits:

Ultimately, you’ll be eliminating bad odors in the fridge, which will make the fridge smell nicer and the food fresher. You’ll also be creating space in the refrigerator for your new groceries. Also, cleaning the refrigerator with Sponge Outlet’s cleaning products will lengthen the lifespan of your fridge, eliminate mold and other hazardous growths, and keep your food fresh.
