The two terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but foam rubber is often used for rubbers that start off as liquids (e.g., latex, liquid urethanes) and sponge rubber is often used more for solid rubbers (e.g., EPDM, Nitrile (NBR), neoprene).

I do not really know the difference between those two , but I sure know that the foam erasers are better ! I do not know about you guys but for me the foam erasers are better !Example:Foam erasers are a new formula that provides great erasing power with minimal pressure. Eraser dust sticks together , making clean up easy ! Also the foam erasers will last longer than the rubber erasers !! I am just talking about the erasers , and I do not know what is the difference ! I hope this helped you ! XD

How do you clean mold on foam rubber from the inside of a boat seat?
I am looking for an answer to the same question; but I have found nothing. Here is what I am going to do. Put on rubber or waterproof boots or shoes and gloves. Dilute 1/2 to 3/4 cup bleach into a gallon of warm water. Outside, sweep off an area of concrete or deck. Remove foam rubber from cover. Lay the foam rubber on the surface. Saturate the piece of foam rubber with a sponge or garden sprayer. Carefully turn foam rubber over at least once while applying the bleach solution. Let stand for 10 minutes or so. Spray the foam rubber with soapy water or dump it on from a bucket. Agitate the foam rubber with your hands or feet Rinse with garden hose, walking on the foam rubber to remove soap/bleach. repeat until all traces are gone. Get as much water out of foam rubber as possible and let dry. Move it to a dry place on a slope, stand on end, or suspend it to facilitate draining and drying Be careful, lifting soaked foam rubber may rip it.
