Probably, it requires YOUR special touch. So, can you get on 75, and drive on down to me? :D

At our house, that is the MAIN cleaner for showers, sinks, walls, etc.! The ONLY thing that it wouldn't work on for us is a leather purse with ink on it. The eraser faded it, but not all the way. Other than that, we are VERY pleased.
Karen, I can't have my mom use many household cleaners (due to asthma) so when she brought this home, I can actually use it without needing an inhaler!:D
Craftlady, that is weird. Ours have never fallin apart on us:confused:
Steph and Jes
yup they are awesome!
I gave them out as Christmas presents last year!!!
I love them. That is the only thing that will clean my patio furniture well.
Tip - I used them to get marks off the wall and they left a funny dull mark on the paint so beware.
Craftlady - they do fall apart easily if you are scrubbing but I don't mind since they are doing such a great job. They cleaned my adirondak chairs better than the pressure washer could.
I was JUST thinking about this today...!! Collin's mother and stepfather are coming to visit tomorrow and I was cleaning ALL DAY LONG!!! I swear by Clorox cleaner (NOT good for those with allergies however...very smelly but cleans everything!!) EXCEPT....pencil lines on the walls!! Yes I said pencil lines!! LOL!:) We have tons of framed pictures that we never hung at our last apartment (plaster walls, very few studs, just wasn't worth the hassle...) But I want this place to look homey and lived in so we NEED to get these pics on the walls!! Unfortunately I have to hang them alone since Collin works nights and sleeps days so my window for hammering is very small, you know, can't annoy the neighbors, can't wake Collin up....so between 10 and 11 this morning I was running around pencil marking every pic and then hammering them in!!! :D It's very hard to hang pictures by yourself though...you have no idea if it looks good until you have done it...and then you're like "Oh, no, too high, too low, too ugly...;) Needless to say, I have pencil marks all over my walls and the Clorox failed me! It wouldn't take them off!!! I was so desperate, I even tried the pencil eraser but to no avail!!
I am going to Walmart first thing in the AM before they arrive and picking up one of these erasers!! Collin's mother, whom I love dearly, is a "master decorator" and I can't let her see all my random attempts at trying to be like her!! I would lose all credibility!! LOL!!! ;) :D
Yes, I've used them and was pleased how they got marks off the walls that I had been unable to remove with all other attempts.
I will say that they are *used up* rather quickly and I don't believe they are economical for use as a regular house
cleaning product. I never thought of using them in the bathroom. One thing I have tried for scum that doesn't want to come off with the regular cleaning products is one of the rectangular mesh pads that you would use for cleaning dishes. I forget the name of them.
Karen I hope you buy one and try it - give us an update? 409 gives me a headache:eek:Quote:

Rachel - yes they are pricey to use for everything They get *used up* somehow and pretty quickly. I do keep one at the kitchen sink for everyday use though as I have a ivory porcelain sink that gets marked up easily - no more comet!
jenifert9 - I hope you impress Collin's mother with your beautifully decorated clean walls;)
Okay Debbie, I took your advise and tried one on the kitchen sink this morning. The result is...I was pleasantly surprised. :) Although I must admit that when I went into the closet I found that what I had was not the Mr. Clean one but the one made by Scotch. It seems to last longer because it has a sponge like backing on it for wiping residue. In any case, it worked nicely, thanks for the tip.
Good Lord! :eek: Am I that far behind??? :confused: I never heard of it.. Will look for it soon as I get to a store and get one.
I got a pack today. There were 2 in the pack for around $2.50. I thought that was reasonable.
I tried one on the bathtub tonight and was very impressed!!!
No smell at all!!!! I'll keep buying them for sure!!!:D
I bought some yesterday at KMart. There were 4 in a pack for about $3.00 (I think). They came with NO instructions! So I'm about to graduate with a new bachelor's degree in IT, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to use these things! :rolleyes: Do you get them wet or do you make the surface wet or do you just use them dry and then rinse? I'm so confused.....:rolleyes: ;) :D
I was surprised though. I lifted the package and it felt like there was nothing in it! I had to make sure the package was still sealed as I've already seen empty boxes on shelves (people remove and steal the contents but put the boxes back on the shelves).
I just bought some at the supermarket. The package says to wet it first, then scrib away. Says test on an inconspicuous area first.
It's too darned hot and muggy tonight, but I'll let know know when I try it!
Magic Eraser has all sorts of ideas to use this and also how to use it (yes, wet and squeeze out first Debbie:) ) How silly to package it without instructions!!
No I do not work for Mr. Clean. I am just a clean freak.:rolleyes:
I just picked up a 4 pack and a 2 pack that were packaged together and on clearance this weekend.
Cleaned up the mold and mildew in the tub super quick and easy but I have some bad hard water stains that it didn't make a dent in.
Handy around the kitchen and bathroom. :)
We have this here too! Instead of "Mr. Clean", it is called "Mister Propre's (= same!) magic eraser.:)
It is SUPER!! There were old staines on our floor which were there for years now. One rub with this eraser, and GONE is that stain!!
