The Sponge is a small household sponge for scrubbing. It is the tool for cleaning blood and grime stains off walls and floors. It also scrubs graffiti away and keeps a chicken hutch clean.
It suits survivors who want a tidy base and anyone who keeps chickens. Its main strength is that it weighs almost nothing. Its main cost is the cleaning fluid it needs to do most jobs.
The Sponge is a very common find on shop and restaurant counters.
Using
With a Sponge and a fluid container holding at least 250 mL of bleach or cleaning liquid, a stained wall or floor shows a Clean Stains option. This clears blood and grime. The cleaning is cosmetic and has no effect on health.
With at least 1250 mL of gasoline in a container, a wall with graffiti shows a Remove Graffiti option. This scrubs the paint away.
A Sponge and any amount of water can clean a chicken hutch. A clean hutch keeps the chickens from dying.
The Sponge is also used up in two crafting recipes. Make Gas Mask Filter turns a Sponge, an empty can, charcoal, a Rag, glue and tape into a Gas Mask Filter - Crafted. Recharge Filters uses a Sponge with charcoal, a Rag, glue and tape to renew a spent gas mask or respirator filter. Both need a mortar and pestle, and the gas mask filter also needs a saw or snips and pliers.
The Sponge can burn as fire fuel or tinder.
