Stolen from our bathroom cabinet

The small cleaning sponges supplied with most soldering iron stands often need frequequent rinsing and water adding. I use one of these cellulose bath sponges sitting in a container of water. It lasts for hours without needing refreshing and wont burn as it is not synthetic. They are available in the UK from ASDA which is a subsidiary of Walmart.

Keith,
I like your idea. Before I wet the new sponge, I cut a hole in the center. I wipe my soldering iron in the hole. I find the sponge doesn't move around as much.

That's a great idea. Those little sponges in the soldering iron stand are hardly worth the effort of getting them wet. I'll have a look at WalMart to see if they carry them here. Thanks for the idea.

Sue
