[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (Page 1 of 2)

They're fucking magic. While moving something very heavy with a pallet jack recently on my VCT floor in my shop, I caused black wheel marks on my floor that would not come up by mopping, scrubbing, using Swiffer wets...nothing. My wife suggested a Magic Eraser, and sure as shit, came up...like magic. I have no idea what kind of wizardry they are made with, but it works. Since this is GD, and we rarely talk about guns in GD, I figured I should pass on my newly acquired knowledge of Magic Erasers.

Us on the Big Island a couple of weeks ago:

I usem all the time for all kinds of stuff. They work awesome at cleaning the sides of my running shoes before I throw em in the washer. Come out looking brand new.

The auto body industry has used them for decades to remove over spray. You can buy them in bulk, and in much larger pieces from auto body supply outfits. That's how I've always done it anyway.

I too have recently discovered the power of these. We have a 4-piece knockdown fiberglass shower in the master bathroom that is hard to clean, no matter what is used.

Same for the shower doors. Worked like magic.

They are definitely magic.

OP, you married above your pay grade.

FUCKING MAGIC or a mixture of magic, sorcery and voodoo. And some small amount of water

It's full of microscopic magnets, that's what makes it "magic."

Don't use them on a dark car to remove smudges. They will leave a haze. You know how I know?

I find they tend to fall apart fairly easy.

Good at removing grunge from old firearms too (Just to keep it in line with a gun forum)

Just used one this morning. They're fantastic for removing a soap film from a tub.

Back when my twins were toddlers, I went through many Magic Erasers getting crayon marks off the walls/furniture. If not for those things, the interior of house would look like a freaking modern art gallery.

Posted: 8/31/2014 12:14:09 PM EDT

[#26]

OP do you have a twin brother out here on WA?

You look like a guy I know, BTW you married up.

For your question, that is not my department, but I have been ordered to buy some for the Mrs.

Don't let your dog eat too many Magic Erasers, and you should be good.

I love the things..I tried a few no name ones but they just don't work as well.

Ahh... I was just out doing some yardwork and realized the door hardware on the south side is discolored. I didn't want to use a harsh abrasive, so thanks for the reminder!

Great question...I'd love to know. See, GD does have the power to figure out all things, and bring them back around to guns at some point when we put our minds to it. Seriously though, great question.

You know what's really magic? It's just melamine foam and it's dirt cheap. Don't pay for Mr. Clean brand. Go on egay and order a bunch of it cheap.

You're welcome.

I kissed a pole one time with my truck and had a bit of blue paint transfer from the pole on the front bumper. I tried scrubbing the hell out of it but it wouldn't come off. I was scared to use anything more potent as I didn't want to damage the paint on my truck.

A buddy of mine suggesting using a magic eraser on it. I gave him the

"how the hell is a household cleaning product going to get a scuff mark off my bumper". Well I figured it was worth a shot, and wuddya know, it came off in a matter of minutes.

I agree OP, they are fucking magic.
