Description
The KAEM hydro sponge 15 x 10 x 5 cm, index 2024-121510, is the smaller of the maker's two tile-washing sponges. It does one job: washing tiles once the grout is in, soaking up water and lifting residue without smearing it across the tile face. Renders World stocks it in the range of finishing sponges, pads and power floats.

The Renders World listing carries the same barcode, 5905061017002, so this is the exact sponge on the maker's sheet. KAEM gives no material name, pore grade, density or absorbency figure for the index, and nothing is added here that the maker does not print.
What the Small Hydro Sponge Is For
KAEM's description is short: the sponge is for washing tiles after grouting, it takes up water very well, and it collects dirt without smearing. The product sheet adds that it suits tiles and other surfaces that need washing after grouting or similar soiling.
- Check first: make sure the hydro sponge is in good condition and right for the job.
- Wash: use it wet and take the residue off evenly across the surface.
- When to start: the grout sets the timing, so follow the instructions on the grout bag.
The grouts, sealants and tile silicones it follows are in the grout and silicone range.
Two Sizes, One Hydro Sponge
KAEM sells this hydro sponge in two sizes with the same description and the same instructions, so the size is the only thing to choose.
- 15 × 10 × 5 cm, this sponge: 50 mm of sponge and 0.02 kg, the smaller of the two.
- 20 × 14 × 7 cm: 70 mm of sponge and 0.044 kg, the larger KAEM hydro sponge.
For Tiling Work, Not Render
The maker writes about tiles and grout and nothing else: no render, plaster or textured facade is named anywhere for this index.
- Suited to: grouting, bathroom and kitchen tiling, and washing down tiled faces.
- Not the tool for: machine floating of render, which the same collection covers with the power float and its discs and pads.
Handling, Cleaning and Storage
KAEM's sheet for the hydro sponge covers safe handling and care.
- Skin: the grout or compound can irritate skin on contact; wear gloves and safety glasses.
- Slipping: water from the sponge leaves washed floors slippery, so walk on them with care.
- Cleaning: after work, wash the compound out with water or a suitable cleaner, dry the hydro sponge and keep it dry.
When it is worn out, the small hydro sponge and its packaging are recycled under local rules.
