Magic Eraser

[disneygals]

I like the Magic eraser, but I have used Bon Ami for years and I think it works better. It also leaves a residue, but it rinses with water. I have beige matte formica in the kitchen, so I use Bon Ami for stains then shine with Glass Plus.

Our first use of the Magic Eraser was on our travel trailer, to clean the EXTREMELY STUBBORN black marks from the awning. It was, by far, the best item we have used. I also used it on the "scum line" on the white steps going into our pool. This is another VERY difficult area to clean and it was absolutely amazing.

I guess because I know it is a very strong cleaner I never even considered using it on a painted surface. I expect it would take the paint off, and if someone told me it ate into the drywell I would not be too surprised! It does not really smell, nor did it irritate our hands (granted we washed them quickly after using) but it obviously has some very powerful chemicals. I think that there are probably few areas inside my home I would use it, but it is wonderful for those tough outside jobs.

I use Magic Eraser on white leather tennis shoes. Gets them good as new!!

Yeah, those Magic Erasers work great! I've used them also. I have to admit that when I first saw the commercials I was very skeptical.

Jennydep, thanks for the shoe tip!

Did my kids and mine yesterday and they look great!

A friend used the Magic Eraser on some walls to remove black marks before he painted. Well he had one heck of a time. It seems the paint was repelling from the spots where he had used the Magic Eraser. He ended up having to put 2 coats of primer on the walls before he could paint. Sounds like too much work to me!!!

I haven't read every post in this thread so forgive me if I am repeating....

My bathtub and surround is acrylic. You have to be very careful when cleaning to use non abrasive cleaners. So it is very hard to remove soap scum and hard water residue using only mild cleaners.

Now I use regular soap and water and the magic eraser and it works great. I was worried about it taking off the finish but that is not a problem.

I used the magic eraser today to clean the rims of my SUV. They look showroom clean now. It's amazing.

I've also used them on my kitchen floor, walls, etc. without a problem.

Only thing I could not get out was yucky stains on my grout in the bathroom...nothing seems to work on them. The grout is only about 7 months old, and has been cleaned weekly. I get red stains and black stains. So far, Tilex has been the only thing that has even lightened them.

I was surprised to see a pack of Brawny erasers the other day, where I could get 4 for the same price of the bald guys 2 pack I chose the 4 pack and hoped it worked as well as the original. It did I've gotten scuff marks off the floor, cleaned the handle on the fridge and tried them on my dds tennis shoes. Worked just as well as the original one and I didn't notice any residue (but I didn't use it on paint).

My husband carries one of these in his van since he works a lot with grease and the door panels in his van get really gross, this cleans them up everytime.

So watch your store for the cheaper, larger packages

Be very careful of Magic Eraser (and the likes of it). It's very abrasive and one should think of really-really-really fine sandpaper.
