{"title":"SOOT Sponges","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDry cleaning soot sponges, also known as chemical sponges, are the first tool out of the van on fire and smoke damage jobs. Made from vulcanised natural rubber, they lift soot and smoke residue straight off walls, ceilings, cornices and surfaces without water or cleaning chemicals, which matters because wet cleaning smears soot deeper into porous surfaces and makes the damage worse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe technique is simple: wipe in straight overlapping strokes, and as the face of the sponge loads up with soot, slice the used layer off with a blade to expose fresh rubber underneath. One sponge cleans a serious amount of wall before it is done. Available in 6 inch and 8 inch sizes, as single sponges for smaller jobs or bulk quantities for restoration crews working fire damage regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eUsed by fire restoration technicians, insurance repair crews, cleaners and painters preparing smoke affected surfaces across Australia. Orders dispatch within 24 hours Monday to Friday, free shipping applies over $200, and restoration businesses can open a trade account with 30 day terms.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"dry-cleaning-smoke-soot-sponge-8-inch-fire-restoration","title":"Dry Cleaning Smoke \u0026 Soot Sponge 8 Inch - Fire Restoration","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eDry cleaning sponges are an essential first step in fire and smoke damage restoration.
