O.K. - here is my personal report on the Magic Eraser.

First of all a box of four cost $4.79 plus .40 cents tax...........not exactly cheap.

I tried one on my patio chairs. It loved cleaning the metal..........but at first I didn't think it did that well on the vinyl straps. But comparing a chair "before" against one "after" I think it did a pretty good and effortless job.

I realized there was mildew on the underside of the straps on the chairs and IT LOVED MILDEW. Gobbled it right up!

It took smudge marks off of a wall.

It removed a drink ring on my pine table with ease and I got overly zealous and cleaned the whole coffee table and side table with it. Cleaned up all of the old dirt like a whiz. All I have to do is re-oil the table.

Gotta go - there must be much more around here that needs some magic!!
