How Does The Magic Soap Function?

Magic Erasers are a type of cleaning tool that uses melamine foam, a material used for insulation and soundproofing. They work by binding sulfur compounds in garlic, onions, and fish to remove them from the hands. The sponge is dampened in water, which gives it a magnetic property that allows it to lock onto gunk, scrape it off, and absorb it, leaving the surface looking like new. These cleaning staples are effective for marks on walls, kitchen, and bathroom jobs with just water and a bit of scrubbing.

Magic Erasers work via mechanical action, so all-purpose sprays can be used as a chemical agent to give stains a 1–2 punch. They should not be used with aggressive acid cleaners or harsh chemicals. Magic Erasers work like super-fine sandpaper due to their hard microstructure. They are easy, clean, and quick to use.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is a “Durafoam” sponge advertised as a catch-all cleaning tool capable of banishing everything from permanent marker to soap scum to beet juice. They work well on many surfaces, such as soap scum in a shower or build-up of grime on a tile floor. Any form of vigourous hand rubbing will rub off dead skin cells on the surface and contaminants.

Stainless steel soap works by binding sulfur compounds in garlic, onions, and fish, and removing them from the hands. This process is hydrophobic, meaning pepper repels away to the edges of the bowl or plate when added to water. The aim of the stainless steel soap is to bind to the sulfur molecules, thus removing them and the associated smell from the hands.
