How to take care of your sea sponge to last for long time.

Before using the sponge for the first time, soak the sponge until it has absorbed water and it has softened, then gently squeeze the sponge to remove any grains of sand. Your sponge is now ready to use.
    
   Always allow the sponge to soften in water before using it.

     Always squeeze the sponge gently.

     Rinse the sponge after use in fresh water. Gently squeeze the sponge. Allow it to air dry on a rack so that the air can circulate.
      Alternatively, turn the sponge over when it is partly dry, so that the bottom of it can dry completely as well.  
      Clean the sponge regularly to prevent microbial build up.
