Litokol Sponge Yellow - Specially for epoxy joints
The ideal partner for your tiling with epoxy 🧽
The Litokol Sweepex sponge (128G0001) is specially designed for cleaning epoxy joints such as Starlike® EVO. Unlike regular sponges or Scotch-Brite pads, this yellow sponge offers exactly what you need when working with epoxy resin.
Why choose this sponge?
The Litokol Sweepex sponge fulfils a different role in the cleaning process than the white Scotch-Brite sponge. This yellow sponge is specifically designed for final cleaning and checking, while the white pad is mainly used for initial cleaning and loosening epoxy residue. Where a regular sponge quickly becomes saturated with epoxy resin and can damage the surface, the Litokol Sweepex sponge makes the difference by:
| Feature ✨ |
Benefit for you 👍 |
| Special composition |
Absorbs less epoxy resin, allowing you to work with the same sponge for longer |
| Soft texture |
Will not scratch sensitive surfaces such as polished porcelain or natural stone |
| High absorption capacity |
Removes more water and residues in one pass |
| Durable material |
Lasts longer, even with intensive use |
| Perfect size (11.5x16x7cm) |
Fits comfortably in the hand for precise work |
How do you use the sponge?
Use the Litokol Sweepex sponge after the first cleaning with the white Scotch-Brite pad (art. 109/G). The procedure is as follows:
-
Step 1: Initial cleaning with the white Scotch-Brite pad to remove excess epoxy and loosen loose residue
-
Step 2: Next, use the yellow Sweepex sponge (128G) to:
- To absorb the loosened epoxy residue
- To absorb the cleaning solution
- To perform a final check
-
Step 3: For stubborn epoxy residues that only become visible later, use Litonet EVO products in combination with first the white Scotch-Brite and then again the yellow Sweepex sponge
The soft texture of the yellow sponge provides a smooth, closed finish without residue on the tile surface without causing scratches.
