And I\u00a0had an\u00a0idea. First, they are a\u00a0universal construction toy. Thanks to\u00a0a\u00a0sponge\u2019s rough surface, you can build anything with them. Second, you can imitate the washing of\u00a0anything (we\u00a0wash toy cars, our closets, and the floor) without damaging\u00a0it. Third, they are really cheap. Fourth, they\u2019re noiseless! And it\u2019s also painless to\u00a0step on\u00a0them, and you can remove them when everyone\u2019s asleep. Long story short, I\u2019m surprised\u00a0I didn\u2019t have this idea earlier.\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img decoding='\"async\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"609\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2022%5C/01%5C/945d4c5268b0952a3d36549ccf.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-34997\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/945d4c5268b0952a3d36549ccf.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h3 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>A&nbsp;tip from a&nbsp;traveler.
