At least for me it does, and if you jab into the middle, it cleans all 
parts of the tip at once, no need to reposition the tip on the sponge 
(maybe no one else had to do that, but I sometimes get stuff on the top 
of the tip)

Sorry, I realized I misspoke above.  brass wool, not steel.  I do 
carpentry as well, so steel wool evidently leaves the fingers onto the 
KB faster.
