Hi Lisa - which category did you post it in then I will go delete it for you. And welcome back!
As for the sponge I don't know if there's anything to do about stains - My sponge is like reaaaaally pale pink almost white so it get stains so easy! I just wash it well after each use and then I guess when it gets to stained for me to look at I will buy a new haha!

Well, I rarely use sponges but the ones I use don't get stained easily I guess! As long as they're clean, I don't think stains are a problem, other than just esthetic. I wash mine with Johnson's baby shampoo and water!

I use the real techniques sponge, and dawn dish soap gets it pretty much completely clean!
