Don’t forget to wring out the sponge to get rid of excess water as they are pretty good in that. Repeat this 2-3 times to make sure that the sponge is ready for sanding. 2. Use the Abrasive Side of Sponge Start with the first round of sanding with a full soaked sponge and move it in circular motions. It is always good to start with the high spots on the wall. You can also use sandpaper for this because these spots are pretty tough to get rid of. So if you’re using a sponge, then use its abrasive side to remove all the bumps on the walls. Now, your first round of sanding is complete. 3. Switch the Side In the second round, use a dry sponge (not completely, little damped sponge) and start in circulating strokes. This is the final step, and after carefully performing all these steps, you’ll surely be happy with the results.
