Prochem Dry Chem Sponge (each) EA3601 The Prochem Dry Chem Sponge (EA3601) is a highly absorbent, reusable latex sponge used for dry-cleaning surfaces without chemicals. Primarily used by fire and smoke restoration professionals, it effectively removes dry soot, dust, and grime from various surfaces. How it works The sponge works like a large eraser, with a unique open-cell structure that absorbs dirt, dust, and soot particles into its pores. This dry-cleaning method is often used as a preparatory step before wet cleaning or painting. Key features Chemical-free: The sponge contains no cleaning agents and is made from a blend of natural and synthetic rubber, making it safe for use on sensitive materials. Reusable: After the sponge’s surface is soiled, it can be washed with mild soap and water and then air-dried to be used again. For heavy soiling, a layer of the surface can be shaved off with a knife to expose a new, clean surface. Effective on dry residue: It is designed to remove dry residues like smoke, dust, and pet hair. It is not suitable for oily or greasy residues. Common uses Smoke and fire damage: Removes soot from walls, ceilings, and other surfaces after a fire or “puff back”. Delicate surfaces: Cleans items that cannot be exposed to water or solvents, such as wallpaper, books, documents, and framed art. Upholstery and fabrics: Can be used to dry-clean upholstery, curtains, and lampshades to remove dust, dirt, and pet hair. Household cleaning: Excellent for removing dirt and dust from textured wall coverings, blinds, and wood panelling.
