It features a hydrophiliated construction that increases water absorption and retention, making it effective for wiping grout from tile surfaces during and after joint filling. At 7.5 inches long, 5.5 inches wide, and 2 inches thick, the sponge provides a comfortable grip and sufficient surface area for efficient cleanup passes. It is a standard hand tool used by tile setters, flooring installers, and general contractors during the grouting phase of hard-surface and carpet tile installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sponge is suited for residential and light commercial tile installation applications where grout haze removal and joint finishing are required.

Rinse the sponge thoroughly in clean water before use and wring it out so it is damp, not saturated, to avoid diluting or washing out fresh grout from joints. Replace rinse water frequently to prevent redepositing grout haze onto the tile surface. Allow grout to reach the manufacturer-specified initial set time before beginning cleanup passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.12 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Feature\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hydrophiliated sponge construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: QEP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 70005-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"QEP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51708802597170,"sku":"70005-24","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ba618be7458dda413f051135342b0c6a.jpg?v=1788448417","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/qep-70005-24-grouting-sponge-7-5x5-5x2-in-tile-install","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
