They are packaged in a dehydrated format to reduce shipping volume.&#xA0;On first use, submerge your sponge into water or hold under a running tap. This will hydrate and expand the sponge to it&#x2019;s full size. Rinse thoroughly and commence use as a normal sponge.&#xA0;Once soiled you can clean your sponge by placing it in a washing machine cycle at cold to moderate temperature. Avoid bleaches and softeners. Allow to dry naturally in direct sunlight where possible.&#xA0;Over time the sponge will dry out if unused - to restore simply follow initial first steps as above.&#xA0;At end of life, you can dispose of the sponge by cutting it up and placing into a composting system or council green waste bin.<iframe width="100%" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/761745065" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen class="fr-draggable"></iframe>
