Dry Cleaning Soot Eraser Sponge - (4-Pack) Smoke, Soot, Dust and Dirt Remover

I am a restoration contractor in CA. currently, I am doing restoration in process of fire damaged house. this house has black soot all over the ceiling and wall and anything you can name it. the soot fly to any single items and holes in house all over. furniture, personal items are discarded, but wall and ceiling is the matter to rip off or clean. damage was too big and insurance does not pay all of the restoration to re-drywalling in wall and ceiling. I usually do not clean the drywall, just remove and new drywall. but this house owner decide to us clean the drywall. first we tried 2-3 different chemicals. not working, barely working or useless. i surf and found this dry sponge. this is miracle. just wipe down the wall, it will not completely clean out. but, after wipe down, fingering the wall and nothing touches and left black soot on my finger. amazing. our team split each section and use this sponge and cleaned it out all the ceiling and walls. not that hard, not scrub, not to press wipe, just pass by. this thing works great. after remove the soot with this sponge, we paint the primer which is "Zinser B I N original shellac ultimate primer. $417. at home depot" dry very quickly and recoat also dry so fast. and then paint over the semi gloss, hi gloss, flat sheen paint. this is what our team done the job quick and easy. after use this sponge, wash with mild soap and dry naturally, not under the sunlights. once dry, we use it again and again. total 12 sponges did job done. million % recommend this dry sponge anywhere the fire soot is. contractor approved item.

Did Not remove the soot from my walls very well, I was pretty disappointed! You spend so much for a product and it’s just taking the soot dust off, I’m happy I didn’t buy 2 of them. Our propane stove wasn’t blown out and all winter long it smoked, someone needs to do their job! But I also wouldn’t recommend this sponge! Like my husband didn’t work either. 😝 😝 😝

I had a freshly painted white brick fireplace that basically died when we used it without the glass doors. I had soot everywhere. It ran straight up above the fireplace opening and up the brick wall. Yuck. I was sad. I tried detergents, windex, magic eraser, all of that to get it off but it wouldn't work, they just dulled the soot. So I read about this online and got it and it took about 50% of the soot off, along with straight rubbing alcohol. I just kept wiping the grout and brick over and over with this pad (wet) and sprayed on alcohol. Overall, I think I ended up with 75% of the fireplace cleaned off. It still needs repainting to make me happy, but this was acceptable to me as a start. At least it's not as noticeable as it was. The picture shown is AFTER using it. I should have taken a before photo. This is WAY better than before when it was black up to the mantle

We had a small kitchen fire & I followers all directions but these pads barely took off any soot.Will have to try something else.

I purchased these sponges to remove soot in our bathroom and on our appliances as our fireplace belched out smoke and soot this winter. The walls, ceiling, and cabinets have semi gloss paint and have been fairly easy to clean with these sponges, but I've still had to use a liquid cleaner after to get off spots and smudges. The sponges work on other surfaces like lamp shades that can't get wet - but they don't work on flat paint - hence the 4 stars.

We often get soot shadows on the walls and ceiling because of the oil heat. I used to paint rooms so often because of this. These dry-cleaning soot erasers are amazing! You just wipe them over the soot, and it comes right off. They are so inexpensive and do a great job!

kinda worked but not on all surfaces.. worked better on ceiling but not very good on my walls.. i am still going to have to paint it.. only got about 40percent of soot off.

I smoke, have pets, and love to have candles burning when I’m home. Together this makes a lot of dust and soot. Well, like an idiot, I purchased flat white paint. Why? Can’t tell ya. I usually buy paint I can wipe clean. Anyway, I have an electric wall heater that created a good deal of soot on my wall and ceiling. Not realizing I had used flat paint, I tried to clean using water and soap. Bad idea! I looked up how to clean soot and found these sponges. Since I already ruined an area in my room and I as going to have to repaint at least part of the room, I bought the sponges figuring what do I have to lose? Well! Let me tell, I used two of the sponges on the soot on the ceiling and the paint looks amazingly bright white again! The sponges worked just like the box and ad said they would. I did the entire ceiling in just a few minutes. I didn’t even realize their was a think film of soot on the entire ceiling until I started using the sponges. I still had to paint the small area I screwed up with the soap and water but, thanks to these sponges, I didn’t have to repaint the whole room. I highly recommend these sponges. Like I said, best things I bought in a long time. Amazing!! Thank you!!!
