Using Magic Erasers: A Guide?

Magic erasers are blocks of melamine foam that work like super-fine sandpaper to get rid of dirt and stains. To use a magic eraser, first wet it, then squeeze as much water out as possible. Scrub the surface with light pressure, and watch the grime disappear. Magic erasers clean by friction, so if you can wipe down the bathtub, you can clean with a Magic Eraser.

Magic erasers are manufactured by Procter and Gamble for nearly two decades and seem capable of tackling any and every messe. For exterior walls, rub a wet Magic Eraser on the dirtiest parts, particularly good for mud or rain marks. For kitchen deep cleaning, swipe the Magic Eraser firmly across your desired surface. For trickier areas, cut the Magic Eraser into smaller pieces.

Magic erasers have 2X stronger cleaning performance than the leading all-purpose bleach spray, making them suitable for removing even the toughest messes. They can also be used to remove scuffs from white rubber soles on any type of shoe. After cleaning, wipe the soles with a damp cloth. The secret behind these types of erasers is a material commonly called melamine foam, which can dig in and destroy stains with just a little water. Magic erasers are made of superfine foam, which is abrasive and can result in rashes or burns, even with gentle rubbing.
