The color changes the job

Mudtools identifies orange as the most absorbent of these three, white as the finer finishing option and blue as the general-use sponge. Choose orange when water pickup is the main task. White belongs in the comparison when you want controlled final surface work rather than maximum absorption. Blue is the broader all-purpose option.

Give each sponge a clear place

Keeping a finishing sponge separate from a clay-slurry sponge makes the roles easier to preserve. That does not mean a beginner needs every type immediately: start with the task your current sponge handles poorly. These compressed sponges expand when wetted. When shopping, read the selected color and pack description; an image showing a range can otherwise make an individual offer look like a set.
