E-Cloth/ Magic Eraser and other cleaning items -- Lakeland or will Poundland work

So I am thinking of buying e-cloth mop as well as e-cloths for cleaning. Also other cleaning items like the magic eraser.

There is alot of mention of Lakeland, but I have seen some of these items at Poundland.

Will Lakeland item work much better or will Poundland ones work fine?

Poundland ones work fine! I had a magic eraser from there and it was fab! All my microfibre cloths are from poundland too. I got a JML one from the supermarket and wasnt any different so go poundland all the way now lol

I bought my original e-cloth from Lakeland and I think I have had it about 8 years -still going strong! The rest of them have come from Sainsburys or Tesco. Proper e-cloths feel like the little cleaning cloth you get in a glasses case.

Nothing wrong with Poundland products!

Poundland are fine!

(ditto the sandwich toasty bags, egg poachy pouches, steam cleaners, pour and store sauce bags etc etc.)

Poundland is totally fine. 'Magic eraser' is just melamine foam. There's no difference at all between brands - it's all just this particular foam. It sold it for pennies as pipe lagging for years before someone discovered it was magic.

Just bought an e-cloth mop from Homebase - same one that Lakeland sells.

Anyway, see my thread for my wonderful revelation!

Thanks -- will go to Poundland first to pick up some cleaning tools.

Can someone enlighten me as to what magic erasers actually do?

I love my magic eraser.

It's just a big block of foam you can cut or tear into whatever size you need then you wet it. I use it for cleaning crayon off the wall, marks on the bath, ceramic hob, the white bits of trainers, sink and draining board, anything really. I find it less of a faff than getting out cloths and various cleaning products.

Heaven knows what grim chemicals are in it. But it works and saves time.
