No, I haven't. I was thinking about that and worried that they provided a degree of necessary back pressure. It'd be worth a try, for sure. I think the clogging was an unusual thing though. Once I get rid of all this HA, I think that level of gunk in the sponges will be a thing of the past.

I may pick up a small bottle of aquasafe for my socks. I know it takes care of chlorine but not sure about bleach. Although, 'bleach' is actually 'chlorine bleach', isn't it ? I'll have to check all that.
