Key Leaves released Spit Sponge pad dryers, which remove moisture left behind on pads and tone holes that swabs miss — extending pad life and keeping instruments clean. The Spit Sponge is a unique, dual-texture pad dryer with an ultra-absorbent top to clean delicate pads, while the bottom has micro-texture grooves to trap and remove gunk that grows on tone holes. Spit Sponge pad dryers have a laserfused edge that never frays and a bright-yellow color that is easy to find in dark instrument cases, and they are completely washable for years of use and re-use. The Spit Sponge for woodwinds is priced similarly to single pad dryers but includes two pieces for double the value. The universal-woodwind-size Spit Sponge can clean flutes, clarinets, oboes, bassoons or any woodwind instrument. The Spit Sponge for saxophones features an easy-fit shape to care for large sax pads and those hard-to-reach places like G# or between key guards.
