We have to admit something really embarrassing. We're not very good when it comes to cleaning. Cleaning out things, getting rid of them, that we can do, no problem. Cleaning, as in mop-and-pail cleaning, not so much.
Here's something else really embarrassing: We're very late to the game when it comes to the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. We think everyone else in the country -- if not the world -- has tried this product and then raved about it on epinions. We only use green cleaners, and we assumed it was yet another toxic product.
I love love love my Mr CLean magic erasers. With an ancient bathtub that picks up grime, only the magic eraser gets it to the point that I'm willing to take a bath....
it really is "magic." i don't understand how it works, but it can get anything clean--i am obsessed with this product.
Magic Erasers are a godsend. They're the only thing that can get my old 1954 cast iron tub clean until I pony up the cash to get it reglazed.
I am convinced the inventor made a deal with the devil to make these things work.
i agree- they really are "magic"- bestest thing ever...
They are the best thing for cleaning that gray smudge that somehow forms on the walls at dog level. I don't know how it can do that without abrading the paint.
So someone out there must know how it works! Anyone?
IIRC, the "magic" is in little micro-fibers that can reach under the gunk. By wetting the sponge your are actually depositing water (an excellent solvent) underneath the dirt and lifting it out with the fibers.
Or I could be totally wrong and someone was feeding me a line of BS. It could be Elf Powered.
I bought a box of these because everyone raves about them. I used one wet, and it had a very funky "dusty smoke" smell to it. Anyone else find that to be true? I never used them again after that because the smell stayed on everything I wiped the eraser on. Blecch.
