Fast-growing retail sensation SpongeTech Delivery Systems has filled up every nook and cranny in its current office space and is moving down the block to 10 W. 33rd St.

The Manhattan-based maker of sponges preloaded with detergents and even car wax—for cleaning everything from pets to cars—has signed a 10-year lease for 6,500 square feet at the Fashion Accessories Center.
