5.0 out of 5 stars MAGIC is right--get that black stuff off your walls July 15, 2006

By Joanna Daneman #1 HALL OF FAMETOP 10 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

I picked up this cleaning product at our local dollar store. The clerk picked it up during check-out and she gave it a big thumbs-up. "These really, REALLY work." she volunteered. With that enthusiastic recommendation, I took home the Magic Eraser with the idea that I was finally going to get all those smudges off my walls.

What is it?

The sponge itself is a white block, very light-weight. It is fine-grained, reminiscent of a marshmallow. It contains a cleaner, which you detect as a light dust when the sponge is in its dry form. The sponge is about the size of a regular kitchen sponge.

How do you use it?

You simply take the sponge out of the package, wet it under the faucet then squeeze out the excess moisture. Now the sponge is ready to use. You rub it on those black marks on the walls (assuming your paint is washable--some paint like flat or whitewash is not washable.) You can rub it on your baseboards, on your stair railings, chair rails, anywhere you get those annoying black marks and finger smudges.

How well does this work?

The cashier at the dollar store was right! These ARE amazing. Black nasty marks on the wall along the stairs went in a few swipes. The smudges on the enamel rails and baseboards disappeared with a bit of scrubbing. As you use the sponge, it wears out--literally rubbing away into nothingness. When it's gone, it's gone. Go buy another one. I've had this one for months and it's still going strong. If you have kids, it will probably not last so long. But..who cares? This is a lot better than repainting the wall!

I also tried it on carpet--it worked ok, but I prefer carpet cleaner for spot cleaning. It was a champ in the shower stall (the fiberglass floor came up really clean!...) Excellent for linoleum or vinyl flooring. Takes off those shoe marks.

Where shouldn't I use it?

The instructions tell you not to use it on glossy or polished surfaces.

Downsides

The more you use it (and you WILL) the faster it disintegrates. If you have kids or are a diligent cleaner, it won't last long. You will really see it go down fast if you do a lot of walls.

Also, some reports that paint can become discolored or lighter if you scrub on it, so test this in an area where it doesn't show; your paint may react.

Summary

If you want to remove smudges from your walls and baseboards, cabinets and other painted surfaces, this product is a must-have. It really earns the name Magic Eraser because that is what it does. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Removes Permanant marker! July 7, 2006

By A. bauman

For anyone on the fence about these, jump over to my side ;) My (then) 2 year old had gotten a hold of my husband's permanent black marker.

We just bought a brand new refrigerator. I turned my back for a few moments, and when I looked back, she had scribbled *all over* my new fridge.

I tried bleach, soap, scrubby sponges... nothing worked. My first new appliance was ruined!

On a whim I bought this. (Couldn't hurt, right?)

It got it off immediately! (I had to press a little bit to get it out of the grooves.) I was so excited, I started running around my house trying to find things to scrub...

I know that it removes shoe scuffs with ease, markers or crayons from walls, and a multitude of other "sins" your children may commit against your home.

I used this to get marks off my washer and dryer and then went on to clean the rest of the house! This little "sponge" is awesome, and it is just like a sponge; it's not abrasive. The only problem I see with it (and all cleaning products) is that you actually have to use it for it to work; lol.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable on old, dirty porcelain tub! October 9, 2007

By 18Rabbit

I have a very old porcelain tub in my house that was virtually uncleanable - until now! I tried everything from soap scum removers to ammonia to steel wool and the dirt on the tub wouldn't budge. One Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, a little elbow grease and about 10 minutes later the dirt was gone. I can't believe how much time and money I have wasted with other products (not to mention inhaling all those caustic fumes). Magic? ... more like a miracle if you ask me. Two more and Mr. Clean will be eligible for sainthood.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite house cleaning products May 16, 2007

By J. Black

I bought these when we were moving. There were some many different things that needed cleaning, espcially after living in a home for years with small kids.

I was surprised it took off pens marks, dirt, crayon, just about everything I tried it , it worked on.

The best parts were the kids loved these. they were so happy to help.

I take one magic eraser and cut it in 2 and give n half to each kid. It works great in our new home taking fingerprints off of the appliances and doors.

I love this product because it makes cleaning up little surprise artwork or dirt kids bring in the house.

5.0 out of 5 stars Need a lot? Here you go! September 10, 2007

By joetagaz VINE™ VOICE

These eraser pads are wonderful. I usually buy them at the grocery store because 1 pad lasts a long time. But, I got a bid of $600 to clean my floor tile grout. I bought these because it was cheaper buying in quantity. They did an amazing job cleaning the grout. They didn't last long because grout is, afterall, rough concrete so it really ripped them apart. But, I saved a lot of money anyway.
They also do a great job cleaning my flat surface cooking top.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE Magic Erasers!!! Great Product March 20, 2007

By Cheryl L. Matthews

I'm waiting for a book to come out called "101 Ways to use Magic Erasers" because I'll bet there are 101 ways at least. These sponges pick upi dirt you didn't even know was there. Let me tell you some of the ways I have put them to use:

1. Used it on the kitchen walls/ceiling to remove dirt/grease film - looks like new. (Do not recommend using on flat finish or cheaper paints though without checking an area first).

2. Used it to quickly remove soap scum from the shower/tub without having to use chemicals.

3. Used it to remove car wax from the black plastic portions of my car (don't you hate it when you get wax on there and you can't get it off?)

4. Used it on my kitchen counter to remove a wine stain.

5. Used it to get the gumminess off things I had purchased that had those annoying gummy labels on them.

And I am still finding uses for these. They recommend not using them on wood and I agree. I tested it and it will remove the finish. However if you are planning to refinish your natural wood (not painted) kitchen cabinets with something like Rejuvenate Cabinet Restorer (also a great product) then I recommend cleaning them with a Magic Eraser first to improve adherence (worked for me, but test it first on the inside of a cabinet door to make sure you will see good results too).

Note - this is not like your typical sponge and does not replace the typical sponge... but instead can remove dirt where the traditional psonge can't. Magic Erasers disintigrate as you use them so they will not last as long as a traditional sponge.

BJ's club used to sell their own brand of Magic Eraser (for less $), but I have not seen them there for awhile.
