Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean! The Magic Eraser!

The Magic Eraser from Mr. Clean!  My friend told me it was good, but I did not realize how good.  They are expensive.  Very expensive, but she swore by them...

I paid over $2.50 for a package of 2 Magic Erasers.  The directions tell you to run it under water, and then squeeze it three times to "activate" the Magic Eraser.  The first experiment was some silverware that did not come clean in the dishwasher.  You know how the crud gets baked on and you need to do some serious scrubbing to get it off?  Well, the Magic Eraser took it off pronto.  I was kind of impressed.

Next I used it on the counter tops.  There was nasty sticky goo all over the counter, and again it took it off with no scrubbing.  My confidence grew, and I used the Magic Eraser on some glasses that I was having trouble with.  There were bumps on there, I don't know what it was from, but even when I hand washed them the ick would not come off.  Also, the hard water made them look horrible- again even though I hand washed them after they came out of the dishwasher.  The Magic Eraser took all this off.  ALL of it.  I love those glasses, and now they look new!

For Christmas I received an electric skillet.  I cannot use SOS pads on it, and as a result it has gotten nasty already.  Again, the Magic Eraser was holding up its end of the bargain.  The final test was my glass cake pan.  I have not been successful in getting this thoroughly clean for well over a year.  After I was finished with it, it looks new.  Seriously, it looks new.

As hideously expensive as these Magic Erasers are, they are super fantastic.  They have removed guilt that plagued me regarding my kitchen utensils.  I am very happy I bought them- and will buy them again, challenging their use every step of the way!


UPDATE:  So after I posted this, I did a little research on this item, because I was so intrigued by it.  Very interesting!  It is the foam that works so hard for us, and it is actually an insulating foam for soundproofing!  It wasn't until the last few years that it was discovered to have cleaning qualities!  The name of the foam is melamine foam.  In order to learn more, check it out!
