Magic erasers!

[Alimoo90]

Hi there this is my first post!

Just wanted to share with others about magic erasers. I cannot recommend them enough it's all I talk about with friends!
Started using them a few weeks ago, for general cleaning, window frames, doors, stubborn marks on walls. I can't believe how quick and easy things look brand new and there is no scrubbing, just gentle rubbing.
I recently used them on my kitchen floor tiles and got loads of dirt up that I can't remove with a steam mop, also used on skirting boards. The only downside is how quick they disintergrate due to it being an eraser.
But I buy mine from Poundland and you get two sponges for £1 so I tend to buy three or four packs. Absolutely amazing product and can never be without them now.
I have a very sticky handed 6 year old boy, so when ever I see grubby marks out comes the eraser you would never know!
Does anybody else use these? And what do you think?

Yes I use them, but I talk to my friends about other stuff

I find them great but they're quite dear in Tesco. I must have a look in Poundland, or Dealz at it's called here.

I'm a big fan. Used them to clean Ugg boots and longchamp bag as well as lots of other stuff

Just bought some the other day from Aldi but not braved using them yet so I like this thread! Might go mad round the house in a bit!

Is there anything I really shouldn't use them on?

Also a fan. But how to they work? Always wonder that as I'm using them.

I love them but have never sat and talked about them over coffee. I once mentioned 'Bold Chamomile and Lavender' and got looked at like .

Magic Erasers would definitely be a step too far.

I suppose it was all I spoke about at the time! Maybe that day.
But I am still amazed when I use them now how clean things are after using. I'm not sure how they work or how they are made. I have also bought the flash kitchen erasers and will tackle tiles with that when I have the time. So not sure if they will work better or not.
Not sure what they can't be used on as everything I have cleaned with this works , I suppose it's just trying.

They're really cheap if you get them on amazon; 60 for less than a fiver. I have small dc and these are fab for sticky finger marks.

Wow thanks Gracie, when I run out that'll be where I get them from. Always useful around the house

Okay - don't use them on hard plastics or non stick surfaces. They will scratch. Magic erasers are made of melamine and are abrasive. A small amount of melamine comes off as you use them, which can leave a whitish film you have to wipe off. That's why they disintegrate in use too.

Yes wowfudge , I did notice the white film left after scrubbing, I now take a wet rag around to wipe clean after. Thanks for that!

Sorry this might be a stupid question but can you use them on painted walls?

I do but I just rub dont scrub! I've seen crayons and grubby finger marks come off.

I've used these on painted walls, it does take the marks off but go gently as I think it took some paint off too.

All the bits that come off them make such a mess though. I have given up using them.

DH managed to fill the bath with rust stains by washing his chain mail in there. (How I wish I was joking!)

Nothing shifted them, the magic eraser did, and now my shabby old enamel bath looks lovely again

I got mine from Amazon, you can get them cheaply on there is you buy in bulk - I think it was about £8 for a huge bag.

They're good for getting marks of the bath from DS' bath toys looking at you killer whale and I use them to clean bits of the bath if they need a good scrub as they don't leave any marks on the bath. Good for taps too.

I tried one on a pencil mark on the wall but it didn't shift, but that's been my only failure so far.

I'm got dirt off grout too with these

PILs have a massive black permanent marker line on the wall. Do you think it would work on that?

No harm in trying and it's not too expensive to buy. Just gently rub and see if it starts to come off
