Jeff;
I remove them too. I tell the customer why, and their happy.
Last time I decided to buy these little sponges from Mitsubishi, my
cost was $11.60, so seeing what a dirty or worn sponge actually
does...made sense to remove them. Most of the cheaper one, you actually
have to remove the lever, and mechanism.
