Save Your Soap
Ever noticed the gloppy mess your soap makes in the bottom of the dish after several uses? Blech! Rest your soap on a sponge instead. It wicks away moisture and leaves your soap clean and ready to use.
Perfect Your Pedicure
To avoid smudged polish after an at-home pedicure, cut a sponge in wedges and place between the toes to separate.
Make Mini Ice Packs
Regular-sized ice packs can be too big (and cold!) for kiddie-sized bumps and bruises. For child-sized ice packs, cut a sponge into a few pieces, soak in water and freeze.
