Abstract: A tile sponge washing and conditioning apparatus is disclosed for washing in water a sponge used during a ceramic tile grouting operation. The apparatus includes a frame for disposition thereof within the water. The frame includes a first wall and a second wall which is disposed spaced from the first wall. A first roller has an axis of rotation which extends through the walls and a second roller has a rotational axis which also extends through the walls. The rollers cooperate with each other to define therebetween a pathway for the passage therethrough of the sponge to be washed and conditioned. The arrangement is such that when the rollers are counter rotated relative to each other, the sponge is squeezed and driven through the passageway so that the sponge is washed and conditioned by the water during passage of the sponge through the passageway.
