Thank you for your video. It's very important for people to realize there is not some added cleaning chemical added to the sponge, but that it is the sponge's composition itself that allows for the cleaning action. When someone says her kid got a chemical burn because she wiped his face with this, he actually had a friction burn (as if she'd rubbed his face with ultra-fine grit sandpaper).

I did - several things 😉What I was *hoping* was to find was a tool to clean coloured rubber silicone, i.e. a red coloured watch band which has some grey marks on it. I hoped the ME might work but I've just bought one, tried it, and it doesn't seem to have much effect. *Might* you have any thoughts on how to clean coloured silicone rubber of the normal marks that arise from just wearing it? Maybe an abrasive is required to "shave off" the grubby patches.

I think it really depends on how much you're using it and how much pressure you apply. Remember it's like sandpaper. If the seats have a glossy look it could remove that and the more you use it the more you're removing the surface of the vinyl

@@Shnickerman ok, awesome thanks. Hey, you should make videos on how "Chemical Guys" products work on cars. They have this spray that you spray on wet cars after you wash it. And it's supposed to aid in the drying process by separating the water droplets from the metal, so when you pass the towel through the towel picks up the water droplets easier. The spray is called "After Wash". Not sure what the active ingredient is.
