 Hey everyone, this is Derek Christian with Cleaning Business Today and I'm doing another product review video today and I'm doing another one of one of my favorite products which are the Melomeme or more generically known by the P&G brand name Magic Eraser sponges. Now I did one of these about a month ago for a sponge outlet and talked about two of their sponges and I'm going to talk about two of their other ones now. So most of you are familiar with the little normal rectangular sponge that's been out for a long time but they also make this guy which is what they call the compressed sponge. Now compressed is sort of just what it sounds like. They take the foam which these are made out of, they put it under pressure and they compress it so there's basically more foam in less space. The advantage of that is this will last much longer than a traditional sponge. We actually had been using the traditional sponge for years at my maid service and in a maintenance clean we would use about one per house. Once we switched to these we used about one per day per cleaner so it is a little bit more expensive but you consider that we were getting two to three times the mileage out of it it was a much better return. Also our cleaners always kind of like the shape they felt it was easier to hold easier to work with. There's another benefit of this compressed sponge and that is when you use the regular Magic Eraser pretty quickly you end up with little tiny like dime-sized pieces that are a little difficult to work with and end up with a fair amount of waste and just by nature of the compressed sponge lasting longer you've got lots you've got a lot less of those little pieces and scraps that are hard to work with. Now like all of their sponges it's made out of the same material that the brand name is made out of and is literally chemically and in every way the same product and will perform basically the same. Now they also make what they call the sandwich compressed sponge and they called the sandwich for probably pretty obvious reasons we've got the melamine phone on either side and then we've got a regular sponge in the middle. Now I'll admit when I first saw these I didn't get it I didn't understand these at all and they sent me some to sample and I got it afterwards. One of the reasons why these are great is first of all there's a lot of sponge on here I don't know if you notice kind of comparing the two this little guy's got a lot of foam that you can work with so it's basically like having two sponges with a little bit of a regular sponge in the middle and these are compressed by the way so they're made out of the same compressed material as this but the other advantage well there's a couple of them one of the advantages you remember how I talked about you end up with those little pieces that are hard to work with well when you've got it attached to this sponge in the middle here that never really happens because this middle material is a more traditional sponge that doesn't disintegrate so you still got something to hold on to and grip to to use every last bit of this phone. Also the traditional sponge is good for just wiping down surfaces etc so you wear this down on one side have a traditional sponge that you can use you've got something you can grip to and use it to the end so both of these compressed sponges if you've never tried them might be something you want to try out once again be real careful just comparing it and saying well gosh I can get this one for 30 cents and this one's 40 cents why would I pay more because while this might be a third more like I said in our office we got two to three times as many houses cleaned so I'll pay 33 percent more to get three times more think of it as kind of the difference between using a ready to use cleaning product and a concentrate which takes you obviously much further so those are the two sponges I want to talk about today and kind of the pluses of them both of these are the compressed material so you get a lot more mileage out of it and then if you've never tried it you might want to consider these sandwiches like I said I was not a fan I didn't understand it until one of the things sponge outlet does sometimes is they throw some samples in with your orders and I got one of these and one of our samples once and took it home and tried it and then I kind of got it and understood why you would want to have a sandwich it's sponge outlet.com they always offer free shipping and they've been around for a long time I think I also told the story of how I ordered a pallet of sponges once it was actually this compressed sponge that I ordered a pallet of it literally lasted me a year so that's a lot of sponges if you have any questions or comments let us know thank you
