Using the Heart Sponge for Surface Preparation

It may be used with suitably diluted Frenchic Sugar Soap according to the cleaner's instructions.
Use gentle pressure and avoid the scouring side on delicate, polished or easily scratched surfaces.
Always test on a small, inconspicuous area before cleaning unfamiliar surfaces.
Rinse cleaned surfaces thoroughly where required and allow them to dry completely before painting.
Applying Frenchic Finishing Coat
The regular sponge side can be used to apply compatible Frenchic Finishing Coat to suitably prepared surfaces.
Apply a suitable quantity of product to the sponge according to the finishing coat manufacturer's instructions.
Work evenly across the surface to distribute the finishing product.
Avoid excessive application or allowing the product to pool on the surface.
Allow each coat to dry according to the selected product's instructions before applying additional coats.
Using the Heart Sponge for Decoupage
Frenchic Heart Sponge can assist with decorative decoupage projects involving suitable paper or tissue designs.
Use the regular sponge surface to apply compatible products where appropriate.
Work carefully around delicate decorative paper to avoid tearing, stretching or disturbing the design.
Test the application method on a small sample before beginning the main project.
Allow each layer to dry according to the instructions for the selected decoupage product.
Creating Decorative Paint Effects
The regular sponge side may also be used to create decorative dabbing and textured paint effects.
Apply a small quantity of compatible paint to the sponge.
Remove excess paint before gently dabbing the prepared surface.
Gradually build up the colour and texture to achieve the desired decorative appearance.
Practise on a test surface before applying the technique to furniture or walls.
Cleaning and Storage
Clean the Frenchic Heart Sponge promptly after use to prevent paint or finishing products from drying within the sponge.
For compatible water-based products, rinse thoroughly with warm water and use a suitable mild cleaning method.
For other products, follow the cleaning instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Gently squeeze out excess water without twisting or damaging the sponge.
Allow the sponge to dry thoroughly before storing.
Store in a clean, dry location away from conditions that could damage the sponge material.
