Ah, I see.
Might I ask whether you're going for an actual, natural sponge or a foam
rubber spongelike object? (Which would probably make the difference
between (a) an isosurface modeling a rather crinkly thingy and (b) a
block of utterly unnatural stuff with holes in it, and possibly a layer
of Brillo-like stuff attached to the bottom...)
Either one will, of course, get your dishes clean, but with a totally
different esthetic.
Bear in mind that, whichever you choose, a good granite normal will hide
a multitude of sins... ;)
