mr. clean magic eraser

i don't care that mr. clean looks like a skinhead and i don't care what kind of black magic/voodoo/obeah is involved in the making of these -- they are awesome. (i am not a mr. clean vendor.)

A freaking men. I love these more than anything.

I LOVE those. They get marks off walls so easily. When we were in the townhouse, the previous tenant had tried to get a mark off with Lord knows what and actually took paint off. The magic eraser worked beautifully.

hmo, I've loved these for YEARS. I use them to clean the doors, light switches, baseboards, everything.

What do you use it for?  I have one, but I don't have little children drawing on my walls, so I haven't had the opportunity to try it out yet.

I've used them for everything: Getting red white off the walls/baseboards, getting pumpkin spice liquor stains off of kitchen counters, cleaning the stove top, baseboards, walls, faucets. Anything.

zsa, take a look at your light switches.  most likely, they are covered with dirty, horrible fingerprints.  also, take a look at wherever you keep shoes.  a few shoes have probably hit the wall on the way to being kicked off.i cleaned the backsplash by the kitchen sink last night, and whatever was splashed underneath the cabinets.

also, does your dog leave paw prints on something?  mr. clean can help.

The magic eraser was *the best* thing to happen to me since my swiffer. I enjoy that he and the Bounty Mountain Men are used as sex symbols to sell cleaning products to women. Heck, I'd be Mrs. Clean any day of the year. "Oh yea, Mr! That spot right there....oh yeah....THAT needs cleaning."

So it isn't normal to have chocolate syrup smeared on every light switch? I guess I have my weekend plans now.

It gets grubbiness off the doors, kick marks off doors, cleans the stove pretty well, and removes scuffs from sneakers.They're like $1 for the plain ones at Target near the checkout.

zsa, i thought your dh liked to handle fish guts and poison a ham, and then touch everything in the house.  surely that's going to leave a mark.

The magic eraser is really good for soap scum and cleaning anything without a lot of suds. It is good for getting the marks that pots and pans leave on porcellain (sp?) sinks. Yes, switchboards, baseboards, scuffs anywhere.

I bought the Dollar Tree version of these, and they didn't remove my scuff marks. Me thinks I should upgrade to the real deal.   Y'all know I love the Dollar Tree.

I use it on the walls in the hallway by the front door. Tons of black marks that magically disappear!

NOLA - There are certain things that you shouldn't skimp on and this is one of them. And contact lens solution. I learned that the hardway

my cleaning people use them on the grout in the shower.  I used it to get scuff marks off of the wall in the old house. It worked great, but I could still tell where they were because the sheen was slightly different. Not sure why that happened, really, and I'd still use it again.

I'll also add tampons to this list. Ouch.

If your wall paint isn't matte, it is going to mess with the finish.

dg, i read that it's really just a superfine grit sandpaper (it's made of melamine foam).  it's actually just taking off a fine fine layer of paint.

MinM

Werd, NOLA. If something is going into MY junkdrawer, it is going to be top shelf shyt.

Min, I think some women need to have those thoughts for the peen too.   You know what I'm saying.
