I find the sponge cleans the tip up perfectly.
To be fair the sponge works well enough, I was just very surprised the 1st time I used a brillo pad in the manner I described how much more consistent it was at cleaning the tip over the duration of a long soldering job. You don't have to go and rinse it every few joints and because it's a little bit abrasive it makes it really shiny every time.
