Looking after it

After every use, rinse it through with plenty of water until nothing is left inside it. Shampoo and shower gel are what shorten a sponge's life. Squeeze the water out and leave it somewhere with air around it to dry.

Once or twice a month, soak it for a quarter of an hour in warm water (warm, not hot) with a spoonful of bicarbonate of soda.

Treated this way it lasts years. Left wet in the corner of the shower, it will not.
