Description
This tiling sponge is INSTAR's synthetic grout sponge, code 10-0322, in the 170 × 110 × 60 mm size. It is made for one job: washing tiles after grouting, where its large open pores pick up excess grout, mortar residue and dirt without scratching the tile. Renders World stocks it in the range of finishing sponges, pads and power floats.

The barcode on the Renders World listing is the same 5906295869351, so the sponge in the box is the one the maker describes. No pore grade, density, absorbency figure or weight is published for this code, and there is no downloadable product sheet for it, so the table stops at what the maker prints.
Washing Tiles After Grouting
The large pores are the point of this tiling sponge. The maker describes an open-cell structure that holds a lot of water and collects the excess grout left on the tile face, and says it leaves the surface clean without streaks or water marks.
- What it removes: surplus grout on the tile face, remains of adhesive or mortar, and dirt from the fixing work.
- What it is safe on: ceramic tiles, porcelain stoneware and glazed tiles, without scratching.
- Why this size: the maker gives 170 × 110 × 60 mm as a comfortable grip that still washes larger tiled areas quickly.
How long to wait before 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.
A Tiling Sponge, Not a Render Tool
The maker's description is written for tiles from start to finish and names no use on render, plaster or a textured facade.
- Buy it for: grouting, bathroom and kitchen tiling, and any tiled face that needs washing down.
- Look elsewhere for: machine floating of render, where the same collection carries the power float with its discs and pads.
Rinsing, Re-use and Replacement
The sponge is sold as a working tool rather than a throwaway, for professional tilers and for people tiling their own homes alike.
- Rinsing: the maker states it rinses out easily.
- Re-use: it is made for repeated use and keeps its properties over a long working life.
- Replacement: no interval is given, so a sponge is changed when it stops lifting grout cleanly.
