So for most us in the US we have seen the commerical with the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser that gets permanent marker off.
Earlier today my daughter decided that the fridge needed a make-over. She got ahold of her brothers Sharpie collection. I discovered it just a she drew beautiful pink smiley face on the fridge door. I hit the panic button!
Then I remembered the commercial. I began wiping and wiping the whole time thinking how am I going to explain this to my husband, then I noticed holy cow it was coming off. That's right that magic eraser got the marker completely off!
Do you have any wonder cleaner tips? Have you ever been so surprised that an item actually did what the commercial said it would do?

Does anyone want to market it in the UK. Little visitor decorated my pine table for me with the said markers. Very artistic and was happy to live with it for a week or two. Could do with a fresh start now.

Hey that's fantastic. WE really can not help having this kinds of problems when there are kids around. They really look at our house as a big canvass to work on hehehe. I've seen a lot of cleaners at commercials on home tv shopping and I'm quite skeptic if it really cleans. But I watched the real show in the mall and it did wipe of the stain. Well I guess they really are true, but we should pick out the best. The problem is they are costly.

Actually I just found a really good coupon at their website just type in Magic Eraser in your search it is for a $1.00 off.
Oh and did you see the post above that says she found some off brand at the dollar store?

Yeah, it's a pretty cool product. We use it where I work to get scuff marks off the walls and floors. If your not careful, it will take the finish off the paint if you rub too hard. I think it basically works like a pencil eraser, it drops the soild bits of eraser until the whole thing is broken down.

I never thought about it taking paint off. I better be careful I was about to attack my daughters bedroom walls they seem to be covered in dirty finger prints.

Mr. CLean Magic Eraser works wonders! It also gets scuffs off of shoes. It can clean just about anything. It's one of the best cleaning things out there. I also love OxyDeep. It's cleans carpets and furniture right good.

I haven't tried that OxyDeep but I was looking at it last week. Maybe I will go ahead and get some for the carpet.

I have noticed that the magic eraser gets things off like it says, but then I have to wipe everything off again because it leaves a streaky dirty film. But it does come off and that is the most impotant thing.
There is no other one that I can think of that does everything it says.

I buy several of the magic erasers to keep on hand. Actually I found a cheaper version at Dollar General, as I believe someone else mentioned as well. Does the same great job, but cheaper. It's easy to use. And yes, I did find it to take up scuff marks on my kitchen floor. I have several uses for it. Great product.

Mr Clean Magic Erasers are a life saver!! I was babysitting for a friens one day and her child decided to take crayons to my walls. I was so mad. I tried everything a nothing worked. Then I went to the store to look for something, that when I saw the eraser. I love those things!! They work..I highly recommend them to anybody.

Lemon juice will clean the stains off counters.
Sometimes I am amazed that these products work. Half of them I can't use because of pets and kids (teflon toilet cleaner comes to mind), but its fun to discover one that works. Makes life so much more relaxed.

I have to agree with the magic eraser thing, it is really amazing what it will clean up, when you think all hope is gone pull out the eraser. I also think shout is great on removing stains from clothes I am always impressed with that one.

I love the shout stuff also. Another thing that works on clothes is dish soap if the stain is blood or ketchup it works great. Just be sure to really rinse it out before going in the wash.

I like that magic eraser. Like you, I've found it does a great job. I was pleasantly surprised too. All too often these new products that come out are just gimmicks and don't do what they say. On top of that, they're way overpriced. I appreciate that the price on the magic eraser is actually pretty reasonable.

I agree completely every time I saw the commercial I was thinking no way it takes off perm. marker. I think I got this one because I had a good coupon. But I am telling you what coupon or not I buying more.

I just tried that product last weekend. A coworker told me about it, I thought well let me give it a try. I figure its just $3.00. Well imagine my suprise, the product remove all the marks etc from my kitchen. I could not stop cleaning. I am heading to the store this weekend to buy some more to tackle the bathroom. I cannot for any other wonder tips. I am sticking with this one.

I love the Magic eraser. I had a hard time believing they actually worked, but tried just in case. I'm so glad I did. Mr. Clean has that other mop like thing that works really well too.

I love the magic eraser. I had some awful marks on my bathtub when I moved into this rental last year, and the only thing that gets them off is the eraser. I've gone through three of them and still have a lot to get rid of though.. gosh I hate this house, lol
