Description
The KAEM hydro sponge 20 x 14 x 7 cm, index 2024-122014, is made for one job: washing tiles after grouting, where the hydro sponge soaks up water and picks up grout residue without smearing it back across the face. Renders World stocks it in the range of finishing sponges, pads and power floats.

The barcode on the Renders World listing is the same 5905061986629, so the sponge in the box is the one KAEM describes. KAEM, the Polish maker, publishes no pore grade, density, absorbency figure or material name for this index, so the table stops at what the maker prints.
Washing Tiles After Grouting
KAEM describes this hydro sponge in two sentences: it is meant for washing tiles after grouting, and it absorbs water very well and collects dirt without smearing. Its product sheet widens that slightly, to tiles and other surfaces that need washing after grouting or similar soiling.
- Before use: check the sponge is in good condition and suits the job in hand.
- In use: work with a wet sponge and wash the residue off evenly across the surface.
- Timing: when to start washing is set by the grout, not the sponge, so the grout bag's instructions decide when the sponge goes on.
Grouts, sealants and tile silicones for the same job are in the grout and silicone range.
The Larger of Two KAEM Hydro Sponges
KAEM makes the same hydro sponge in two sizes, and the size is the whole choice between them.
- 20 × 14 × 7 cm, this sponge: 70 mm of sponge and 0.044 kg, the larger of the two.
- 15 × 10 × 5 cm: 50 mm of sponge and 0.02 kg, the smaller KAEM hydro sponge.
Both carry the same description and the same instructions from the maker; nothing else separates them on paper.
Made for Tiles, Not for Render
Every line KAEM publishes for this sponge is about tiles and grout. No use on render, plaster or a textured facade is named.
- Buy it for: grouting, bathroom and kitchen tiling, and tiled faces that need washing down.
- Look elsewhere for: machine floating of render, where the same collection carries the power float with its discs and pads.
Safe Use, Cleaning and Storage
The maker's sheet for the hydro sponge names two risks and how to handle them.
- Skin contact: contact with the grout or compound can irritate skin, so gloves and safety glasses are recommended.
- Wet floors: the water used with the sponge makes washed surfaces slippery, so take care walking on them.
- After work: clean the compound out of the sponge with water or a suitable cleaner, then dry it and store it somewhere dry.
At the end of its life, the hydro sponge and its packaging go for recycling under local rules.
