Never knew the water trick! You would think that info would be on the product label when you buy a new one. Bought a later one in January but will try that on my previous one which I haven't thrown away yet. Thank goodness!

Those little sponges in the cosmetic section of WM work really well, too.

Thank you so much I did not know that!!

I am going to soak a t0wel and put it on the picnic table outside overnight so it lays flat. I suppose you could wet it down with a hose also. Never heard of soaking it before. --J

I don't have to soak mine. I use one of those automotive microfiber towels. Get it washcloth wet and scrub. It's like magic! A whole lot faster than a soak too.
