Комментарий к Келим 9:4
סְפוֹג שֶׁבָּלַע מַשְׁקִין טְמֵאִין וְנָגוּב מִבַּחוּץ וְנָפַל לַאֲוִיר הַתַּנּוּר, טָמֵא, שֶׁסּוֹף מַשְׁקֶה לָצֵאת. וְכֵן חֲתִיכָה שֶׁל לֶפֶת וְשֶׁל גֶּמִי. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן מְטַהֵר בִּשְׁנֵי אֵלּוּ:
Если губка впитала нечистые жидкости и ее внешняя поверхность стала сухой, и она попала в воздушное пространство духовки, духовка нечистая, потому что жидкость в конечном итоге вышла бы. И то же самое в отношении куска репы или тростниковой травы. Раввин Шимон объявляет [печь] чистой в обоих случаях.
Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
ונפל לאויר התנור טמא – for impure liquids defile a vessel. But even though the liquids are absorbed within the sponge, they are like they are discharged/escaped, because the sponge is made to bring in and to release/expunge [the water] through it.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
A sponge which had absorbed unclean liquids and its outer surface became dry and it fell into the air-space of an oven, the oven is unclean, for the liquid would eventually come out. Since the unclean liquids in the sponge will eventually seep out, the oven is unclean as soon as the sponge enters. In other words, since the liquids will eventually seep out, we look at them as if they are already out, and as we have learned, unclean liquids can defile an oven.

Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
וכן חתיכה של לפת ושל גמי – they are like a sponge. Because through the reed grass we examine through it the wine and it too is made to bring in and to release/expunge like a sponge. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon [who permits the turnip and the reed grass].

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
And the same with regard to a piece of turnip or reed grass. Rabbi Shimon says: the oven is clean in both these cases. Evidently, turnips and reed grass were also used in a "sponge-like" manner, to gather in liquids and then to squeeze them out later. Therefore, according to the first opinion, if a piece of turnip or reed grass that has been used to soak up unclean liquids falls into the oven, the oven is immediately unclean, the same as it is with a sponge. Rabbi Shimon says that in these two cases the liquid will not seep out like it does from a sponge and therefore the oven remains clean.
