I soaked the sponges just like the instructions said, but they ended up disintegrating into liquidy mud. What happened?

This did not happen to me when I planted my garden. I would contact amazon for assistance.

Yes they should be wet...all sponges are shipped that way so they do not dry out. I am sure there is a little bit of a smell, but it should not be overpowering.

Mine were very absorbant after just one wash. What kind of detergent did you use? You don't use fabric softener in the dryer do you? I just use All Free & Clear and they worked great immediately.

Place between strings like Matt stated. You do risk water dripping but the sponge should not be overly saturated with water. I've never had a problem with water dripping. Wet the sponge and ring it out so it's just damp. Repeat every few days. Good luck

the same thing happened to me and then it disintegrated into bits. My blender was ruined and I had to buy a new blender.

I don' t know as mine came apart on the first use. The sponge separated from head and would not go back on.

There can be a mineral build up from them precipitating out of the water when it dries. Wipe it off with some white distilled vinegar & that should eliminate the "stains". You may need to let the cloth or sponge sit for a minute or 2 to let the vinegar dissolve the minerals. What the stainless mainly means is that it will not rust.

You might try spraying with Pam and then work them apart. Or warm water and lots of soap. I've not had this problem, so am wishing you luck.

It is a sponge. I really do not know. I would assume yes. Let me know too if you try it. :))

If they got squished between a tire and a hard enough surface, they'd degrade quickly, definitely squish, possibly explode. The crystals feel like Jello when they're saturated; I think you'd just be making expensive mud.

Janet, I think that would be fine. I believe if the sponge is not wet, it will stay good in the package for a very long time. The sponge is so hard and dry when you take it out. You have to soak it for a couple of min before it becomes spongy. I love the sponge!

If you are talking about the carbon cartrige...keep the old one and take it apart with a tweezers and just put new carbon in that you can buy at the pet store. I also wash out my sponge part with apple cider vinegar and rinse it thoroughly. You can try to contact the manufacturer, but why I told you will work. I hope this helps.

Use a Teflon safe sponge like scrubeez, and Dawn dish detergent. Soak for a while and then scrub.

Don't place the tube straight down on your area. You have to squeeze it up to surface threw the sponge I sometimes have the tube straight up push the liquid out and wipe on the area it's better for me to use my fingers to spread it evenly the sponge is flimsy

I can't say , I have done several water changes since I first put this in my tank . My sponges still hold bacteria. So I haven't used it since I cycled my tank. I just keep testing my water, I have fancy gold fish

I have not used these sponges in the shower but it is worth a try. Make sure you have something powerful to breakdown the soap scum. Ugh, soap scum, my nemisis!
