Spunga

|
Spunga, or sponga, is the most common method of cleaning floors is Israel. The origin of the word is uncertain. Exact technique differs from person to person (and even from city to city). Most agree, however, that it is best to first sweep the floor in order to rid it of the larger dirt. The basics of spunga include throwing soapy water on the floor, swishing the water around with a squeegee attached to a long stick (also referred to as "spunga"), removing the water from the floor and wiping the floor dry with a dry cloth. The water may be removed by thrusting it with the spunga stick through specially designed drain pipes that take the dirty water outside the home and onto gardens. Given the temperate climate in Israel spunga can be perfomed throughout the year. It has been observed that 80% of all spunga activites takes place on Friday (in advance of the Jewish sabbath). Spunga is the preferred and quickest method of cleaning floors in Israel as all floors are constructed of either stone or tile. Spunga cleaning is unique to Israel and is not commonly known around the world. It should NOT be confused with "mopping" or "spunging". See Also
