That's of limited use since the entrance hole is too small and worse, there's no hole in the back for the air to exit from.

Actually, according to the Talk Sex With Sue website, you can turn it inside out to easily clean. Leave it inside out to dry until next use.

Maybe you don't have to dry it . Perhaps just carefully twirl a wet one's wipe up in there with your finger to disinfect it after you've cleaned it. Also instead of turning it inside out to clean you could use a thin 10-20cc syringe and water to extract a water semen mixture multiple times if required. Some reviewers have recommended corn starch for drying but I think the corn starch could be bacteria food if any moisture remains at all.

You might need to add more water. If there is too much soap and not enough water then it tends to dry up fairly quickly. You need an even balance of both soap and water to build up a lather that isn't to dry yet isn't too wet.

Yep -- stuck it in the washer then air dried just a few days ago. Or I sometimes take a kitchen brush to it if it's not too dirty. Works great!

It's not too bad. If your drinks have sugar in them you can get one of those long sticks with a sponge at the end to scrub the inside more meticulously. I only drink water and tea from it, so i usually just leave soapwater in it for a while to sit, shake it up vigorously, then rinse it out a few times.

You can use it dry, with water or oil. I would suggest using water. Its less messy.

No idea what the problem is but why would you put it in the dishwasher? It is soap, I just rinse it off from time to time and dry it and it keeps going just fine. I like fact it is plastic, it does not break like glass can and that is important in the kitchen. Nothing lasts forever but evrything needs to b used within reason. This is not a major engineered product. It is a simple foam dispenser and if used within reason should last some time.

If you rinse it right after use --- its easy as pie. Not sure what would happen if you let anything get dried on it though.

The most I've ever done for mine is to make sure I rinse it thoroughly with hot water after each use, making sure that all of the cleanser that I used is rinsed out completely. After that, I squeeze it and hang it to dry. I also agree with the first poster that a mild soap or vinegar should work as well. Also, something to consider is that the bristles are supposed to be naturally antimicrobial according to the company. As a side note, I've also been wondering how often the brush should be replaced if anyone has any thoughts on that.

Mine usually stays on and I take lots of baths. Sometimes it comes off and I set it sticky side up on the counter to dry and reapply it after the bath. It still works and will stays on the remaining days. I don't know why it comes off during some baths and sticks other times

I've had mine for about a month and it's about halfway used. I use it daily. Just make sure it's stored in a dry place after it's wet bc it tends to melt if left wet.

Hi Barbara, That's is perfectly fine. We are improving and transitioning to a new packaging which comes in new dry form. Once you soak the sponge in the water, it will become very soft How to care for this new dry type is the same. Once you are done using the sponge, squeeze out all access water and hang it to dry in a dry area. Once every 2 weeks, we recommend sanitizing by either putting it in boiling water for 1-2 min or putting it in a bowl of water and microwave it for 1:30 min If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at info@mykonjacsponge.com. Thank you.

I just soak it in an oxiclean solution and ring it out a few times....i think it lasts longer ..

We do not have soft water, and I wash in warm. I don't notice any issues. I pour it in slowly though. You are supposed to put the water in first, then the soap, then the clothes. I turn on the water, then pour a small amount in my hand and let the water run over my hand to distribute the particles. I found that when I poured it in like you would think, it clumped together. So, if you just take an extra minute and distribute it slowly, it will dissolve better. I'm not sure if that's related to the water type/temp, but it is something I learned. :)

I buy this one every few years (the current one I have had it for last 4+yrs). I have stuck it in dishwasher. Nothing happened to it except that it did not come out very clean. The reason being if you use dishwasher jet dry it gets stuck into the concentric circular ridges. Hence I just wash with a regular dishwashing soap.

The jar preserves the soap but also the bar is activated by soak in warm water for about 30 seconds. I use the jar then rather than pouring the water out I use it but would not leave the bar in water, it may dissolve :(. I still need to research further "activating" but for now just do it. I really do like this soap and would purchase in the future. Hope this helps.

It took me a few tries to figure out how to get this pan clean. When food sticks to it, the easiest thing I've found is to wait until it cools off and then fill it with water, let it soak for a few minutes, and then scrub it clean. Usually just a few minutes in water loosens up anything that's stuck. Otherwise, a couple of times I've used a kitchen scrub brush (the cheap kind with bristles) to deal with really tough spots, and that takes care of it. I've even run this pan through the dishwasher a few times when I've cooked things that aren't stuck too bad, and it goes through the dishwasher very well!

As everyone here has said, I agree its easy to wash out and dry it for the next day, for another great pot of coffee!!I think with these many answers being much the same, this question needs no more answers to it..
