CoalCracker, how did those ball sizes work out for you? I'm curious what diameter hose you were able to get the 3/8" sponge ball through, as I'm looking at ordering some for cleaning 1/4" hoses.
 
FYI, I ended up just cutting small pieces off the regular blue sponges that I use for cleaning brewing equipment and pushing them through dirty hoses with hot water. It sometimes takes a couple of tries to get the right size piece of sponge, but (so far) I at least haven't gotten one of these homemade sponge balls stuck in a hose.

[Knocks on wood.]

That's exactly what I do. And if you have an air compressor, it's fun to shoot them across the house. I used to use ear plugs, but sponges were less expensive.
