The Blogworthiness of the Magic Eraser

One of the more neurotic things about me is that I love–and I mean LOVE–trying out new cleaning products. I know that’s slightly disturbing, but cleaning is therapeutic for me. If I have a bad day, I take it out on a dirty shower. There are worse things I could do…

Anyway, if you are like me and love cleaning, or aren’t like me and hate it, I have two words for you: Magic Eraser. This little brick of odorless foam can do wonderous things like you’ve never imagined. I HIGHLY recommend stocking up on these if you ever move out of an apartment. We did, and we used it on every wall mark. It gets rid of about every scuff you can imagine, even paint transfer. I even used it on candle soot. We had a candle beneath a picture in our bathroom, and when I removed the picture there was a nice line around the perimeter of where the picture had been. It must have resulted from the candle soot. Well, I used the eraser on it and effortlessly, the soot came right off!

Another thing it does well is clean grease. There was some decent grease build up (I can’t believe this happened in my own kitchen!) on the ventilation hood above our stove. The eraser cut right through it! It also works very well on bathrooms  sinks and showers. The original Magic Eraser is made by Mr. Clean, but grocery stores have made a generic form, which is a little cheaper. I would definitely stock up on a few boxes when they’re on sale. Once you try this magic little white brick, you’ll be hooked forever! (Wow…sounds remarkably as if I’m talking about cocaine.  I’m not, in case you wondered.)
