Fixed-Head Sponge with Handle
|
|
|
|
Fixed-head sponges come in various colors. All have lengths of 11-12 inches.
Lengths and colors may vary—we ship what we have.

The question always comes up: The Ample-Sponges and handles are fairly expensive—isn't there any alternative? The answer is, not exactly. But we now carry an item that could be helpful for some people.
There are important differences between the Fixed-Head Sponge and the Ample-Sponge. The new Fixed-Head Sponge (with handle) is shown below, compared to an Ample-Sponge with a standard blue head (not currently available in blue) and a 10 inch handle. The total length of the Fixed-Head Sponge is 11-12 inches, while the total length of the Ample-Sponge shown is 13½ inches.

Choice of Sponge Heads
|
Head can be trimmed to the width desired. Currently, only yellow is available.
|
One width and color choice (multicolor). The width and shape of the sponge head can be trimmed by hand with scissors by an enterprising customer.
|
|
Efficient use of materials
|
Handles last for many years, and the heads are easily replaced.
|
When the head wears out, both it and the handle are discarded or recycled.
|
|
Curvature of the handle
|
Handles are straight; curved handles have not yet been introduced.
|
Handles are slightly curved; for some users, this could be helpful.
|
We suspect most customers will prefer to continue using the Ample-Sponge. There are some who might want to save money and can use the Fixed-Head Sponge, or prefer it for other reasons.
|
PLEASE NOTE:
|
|
Various handle colors are in stock from time to time. The manufacturers can only sell us assortments. For that reason, we will ship whatever we have in stock at the time.
