OH THANK JESUS IN HEAVEN! We FINALLY got to the bottom of the "Magic Eraser Mystery." I can finally sleep soundly again. Now If only the "Shamwow enigma" was exposed...
Yeah, please. I'm not ready yet to handle the guy who said with the Slap Chop commercial, "You're gonna love my nuts!" Please, I'm not jacked on java...yet!
ya i need to know that shamwow enigma also, i have some bought them more then 10 yrs ago and now starting to grow holes, but what i want to know is they are so big the ones i first got and after washing started to shrink when once was 2ftx3ft are now hand size cloth and the begining they sucked up liquids and now hardly nothing
I was buying the generic melamine sponges and they were so cheap I didn’t realize the quantity I ordered. I got a hay bale sized shipment 😊 I shared them with everyone in my family and they all use them now
They work great. My dad thinks they break down a little faster than Mr Clean but I don’t notice. The only thing I would suggest is ordering the thicker size. They come in different mm thickness and the big fat ones ARE more sturdy. I bought thousands of them for like $20 so I can’t complain. I even let my daughter rip some up for fake snow
Been using them for years. Never had any small bits fall off them and they last longer than depicted in this video. Simply wet them first then wring out the excess water. Love them for cleaning the kitchen tiles.
Since I don't clean whole walls, they last quite a while. I only dampen the end I'm going to use. Didn't the Chinese sell us dog food with Melamine mixed in?
When AliExpress first came out, I ordered a 500 pack of sponges like this for $5, believe it or not. It came in a box the size of a microwave oven and it was free shipping. I was blown away, and still have over 200 left. But, the sponges are about half the size of the magic eraser and they seem to crumble a little easier than the real thing. But also for the cost per unit, I am way ahead of the game. My biggest concern is completely unrelated to the product and more of a shipping and international issue.
It works like extremely fine microgrit sandpaper with a sponge attached. You can fuck up cars, windows, and anything shiny, smooth, or otherwise untextured. The untold truth is that carelessness or lazyness cause actual damage to things. People never talk about that part.
My sister thought she'd do something nice for me and decided to wash my car, using a Magic Eraser as the sponge. She took the finish off the roof, front hood and trunk lid of my 1972 Chevy Chevelle.
Personally not big on cleaning myself but did buy a Magic Eraser to remove a scratch on a large flatscreen TV .It worked fantastic and now you can't even tell there used to be a four inch long scratch at one time .I was sold on M.E
Lol! Rule 1, spray a cleaning solution and let it sit for 10 minutes, Rule 2, scrub with melamine foam. Result= clean, like really clean. I own a cleaning company with several recurring clients. I always use a cleaner depending on the surface, then the eraser. The life span of the foam will be three times longer this way.
Or, you can use silly putty to clean your wall paper. Cost about the same but you can reuse silly putty. Look it up, silly putty was originally designed to clean wall paper but kids found it works better as a toy. So they remarked it as a toy.
Thanks for cluing us in about an inexpensive replacement for them. (Discovering that they're mildly abrasive makes me glad I decided not to use them on the knobs on my kitchen range which, while as expensive as all getout, seem to lose their numbers all to easily!)
Amazingly, I tried the eraser on mechanics grease that had gotten on my blazer (wool) and it took it out! Then, I used it on mold that had gotten on my leather coat that was in the back of the closet....the mold came off like a charm! I buy the double pack generic at Dollar Tree. Mine tend to last long enough for the use I get and I don't have to mix up any "stuff" to get the same effect.
One major issue is with dogs, our dachshund like to chew things up, and a tiny little pieces, it got lodged in her intestines, she eventually passed away from that and one of those string chew toys from the store.
Love Magic Erasers, only thing that works on my bathtub and tile! Even the steam mops failed to do what magic erasers accomplish in minutes. Great on soap scum, hard water stains, calcium deposit, and even rust. I use both the off brand and Mr. Clean and both work the same...
When I was in kindergarten, I was so scared of Mr Clean... I’m in 6th grade and still scared. DO NOT use the eraser on texture wall, because it will peel off the paint....
lol i never bought those more expensive ones. the 3$ ones from aliexpress (100pcs) are of the same quality and you have 25X as many for the same price.
Touching Magic Erasers gives me the same feeling as nails on a chalk board! I always have to wear gloves when I use them. Just watching the videos of people touching them makes me uncomfortable! They really are great though!
I worked at a movie theater and we had touch screens at the concession stand. We had about 7 stations. Somebody used one of these on the screens and the abrasive nature of the magic eraser damaged all the screens LOL. The touch screens touch sensors stopped working. All the screens had to be replaced.
I feel like you just saved many (including myself) from certain disaster. I'm blown away that it broke all of the screens. Now I know the power of the Magic Eraser! 😂
This stuff is basically 2000 grit sandpaper. I am a piano technician and use it on piano keys when kids use markers and sharpies to write the notes on the keys.
@@ladycheyne5607 Hey that's a good idea!!! I could do this to keep my kids sneakers cleaner! And they don't fall apart that easily IDK what they are talking about!!!! Hahaha
To remove Sharpie or other permanent marker from you soon just use 99% isopropyl alcohol it should dissolve it pretty much instantly. Same goes for non porus surfaces like your cars pain. The marker will rinse right off. This was a really interesting video.
I purchased a magic eraser today and it does not work! I usually clean my grout with baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, vinegar and tossed in some borax per your recommendation. The magic eraser came in handy so I could apply my cocoon. I bought the magic eraser thinking it would be magic, it's not! Sticking to my concoction when it comes to cleaning my bathtub and shower..
I used one of these of a different brand (we don't get this specific one in the UK, or at least I don't believe we do) to get rid of some strange sticky substance from one of our walls. Now I know what it does, I can fully understand why it stripped the paint from the wall. Oh well, it needed repainting anyway...
Me: *buys foam in bulk for 89c to save money* Also me: *proceeds to also buy borax and baking soda and ends up spending more than it takes to buy a pack of magic erasers*
When I was four, I drew on my face with marker. My parents thought it would be fine to rub that magic eraser on my face to get it off. Horrible. It was like sandpaper was being rubbed on my face. My face looked burnt and red for several days. Lol.
Another cleaning product secret: Pledge floor gloss can, when applied to the joints on action figures or fashion dolls, tighten up the joints. if the joints are loose. Pledge floor gloss used to be called Pledge Future Shine floor wax. If that doesn't work, or if it's a ratchet or friction joint like a thigh or shoulder, try using a length of fishing line and wrapping it around the post inside the joint.
The sound in the narrator's voice about the whole gluten question reminds me...I know people so sensitive to gluten that they cannot touch it or they break out. The most common disposable diapers had my daughter's nether regions breaking out as well as my wife's hands. I also have a cousin who cannot touch a counter surface where a piece of bread just lay without having to wash her hands before she breaks out. So just be aware, it's not just a matter of ingestion.
Rubbing alcohol works best on markers...less scrubbing involved. I love the eraser for removing adhesive left on jars and bottles after soaking off labels...far superior to googone.
After using this sponge cleaning my mirror, I wiped the makeup off from under my eyes (from sweating) and (i only used water with it) . Bags under my eyes started to get red and started to burn!! Also it cut my skin somehow!! I’m still recovering.
I'm pretty sure that sales would go up like 500 percent, if it were advertised... Because I use it for when I smoke methamphetamine through a pipe, and it's cleaning properties are amazing..
Well. That sucks. But... It's my most important thing for my home cleaning business. If I was stuck on a dirty desert island and only could have one thing- the magic eraser would be it! It cuts the time waaay down and if you didn't have any spray cleaner it would still be able to get the job done. If you had to
So it's basically a piece of slightly abrasive foam that lasts for a single use, and it's the abrasiveness that makes it clean well? Why not spray cleaner and use a standard foam sponge ?
I've tried using vinegar and baking soda for cleaning and it just never works. But stupid things like the magic eraser do. I kinda wonder if I'm using them wrong
I also used vinegar and baking soda to clean in the past, then I read an article (provided below) that explains how vinegar is an acid and baking soda is a base so when mixed together they cancel each other out and your basically left with a kind of salty water, to be exact it makes sodium carbonate, and sodium acetate. Check out the link, the article is pretty good! The Cleaning Mistake I Didn't Know I Was Making (But I'm Going to Keep Doing Anyway) | Apartment Therapy www.google.com/amp/s/amp.apartmenttherapy.com/the-science-behind-baking-soda-and-vinegar-cleaning-244098
You use the vinegar to clean with. It is a mild acid. It will break down dirt, grease and such. It also makes the environment acidic. Preventing mold and bacteria from growing. If you have an exceptionally soiled area to clean, first use the vinegar. Scrub. Then speinkle the baking soda. It brings out the microscopic bits of "dirt" from the carpet, cloth, or qhatever you are cleaning. If it is stained, you can scrub with vinegar. Pour a coating of baking soad. And let sit. The baking soda will absorb the dirt. You will see it turn from qhite, to black. When dry, vacuum up! Vinegar and baking soda are the best cleaners you can use! With practice and experience, you realize its truly all you need. My grandma cleaned everything with it!.
What I find works is putting up a paper towel to what needs cleaning, spraying vinegar on it till the paper towel is soaked and sticks to the surface then let it soak for hours, occasionally spritzing it to keep it wet. Then wiping the surface clean. As to baking soda, I use it as a grit while cleaning or to neutralize the acid of the vinegar when wiping the surface clean.
sold by many different names and companies now, I like to get huge packs of the 1 inch cubes from a store called Daiso, sort of like a Japanese dollar store, super cheap and they last ages, and work great for dog saliva on their dish. But I do know first hand DO NOT USE TO CLEAN YOUR PLASTIC MICROWAVE DOOR the panel may look like glass but the glass is behind a very easy to scratch plastic sheet, the magic eraser types will scuff the shit out of that plastic. Stick to hard surfaces like glass, ceramic, steel, and so forth.
I don’t know those cheap ones just don’t clean as well and the disintegrate WAY faster. Seriously bucket to box tested. Now I never mixed in baking soda and whatever else he said, but it was no name vs Mr. Clean
It will takes scuffs off of cars as well....as long as it is inly paint transfer from another vehcile...works good...but only use on small areas..because they are abrasive
Yeah right.... I'm going out to get pound borax and pound of baking soda and then trying to find some melamine. Then cut it in rectangle shape (heck let's go for the full shape effects: stars, triangles, circles, octagons and snowflakes) then find a secret secure location so the kids won't eat it. Or, you can go to the store and save yourself a lot of headaches.
Am I the only one who's never had a magic eraser fall apart and "disintegrate" while using it? It just stops cleaning as well, it doesn't melt and crumble away. Unless the UK version is different to this US version?
Simon Clark, I never had a Magic Eraser crumble until I bought a generic brand. It's probably still more cost effective to use generic, but it takes two to do the job of one name brand.
The magic eraser that I've purchased falls apart and crumbles but the magic erasers my mom buys doesn't fall apart but it also doesn't clean very well. The difference was the ones I buy are from the grocery storelabelled as the original and are rectangles with straight edges while the ones my mom bought were from Costco and had wavy edges, both were labelled as Magic Erasers. I think they have different formulations for different markets and uses.
I use them all the time, they ALL will crumble eventually. Next time don't throw it away. Keep using it and watch it get smaller and smaller until you have this little clump, and you're just trying to clean one more thing...oh wait...that's me. 😂
Yes probably because Snopes is in fact a reliable info source. You must be a conservatard who hates them because they destroy your little world of alternate facts and faux news
I did an allergic reaction to magic eraser that had febreeze in it. So did my daugther be cause i cleaned the bath with it. During 3 days. Wrote to mr clean on facebook. They sent me a 5$ prepaid credit card....

But I do know first hand DO NOT USE TO CLEAN YOUR PLASTIC MICROWAVE DOOR the panel may look like glass but the glass is behind a very easy to scratch plastic sheet, the magic eraser types will scuff the shit out of that plastic. Stick to hard surfaces like glass, ceramic, steel, and so forth.
I don’t know those cheap ones just don’t clean as well and the disintegrate WAY faster. Seriously bucket to box tested. Now I never mixed in baking soda and whatever else he said, but it was no name vs Mr. Clean
Crystal M Agree. I've had the same experience.
Awesome! It's gluten free, I can eat it with confidence.
It will takes scuffs off of cars as well....as long as it is inly paint transfer from another vehcile...works good...but only use on small areas..because they are abrasive
My daughter has Celiac's, thanks for the head's up! 😁😉
Yeah right.... I'm going out to get pound borax and pound of baking soda and then trying to find some melamine. Then cut it in rectangle shape (heck let's go for the full shape effects: stars, triangles, circles, octagons and snowflakes) then find a secret secure location so the kids won't eat it.
Or, you can go to the store and save yourself a lot of headaches.
We use magic erasers in reef aquariums to clean the inside glass, it works very well and is not toxic to the fish or corals.
Wouldn't this effectively be putting microplastic into the water?, while non-toxic it doesn't seem ideal if the fish ingest it.
I was rubbing a pen mark off my wall, the paint also rubbed off! It was another brand though..
Ok the teacher that used the magic eraser on the child should be fired
Am I the only one who's never had a magic eraser fall apart and "disintegrate" while using it?
It just stops cleaning as well, it doesn't melt and crumble away.
Unless the UK version is different to this US version?
Simon Clark, I never had a Magic Eraser crumble until I bought a generic brand. It's probably still more cost effective to use generic, but it takes two to do the job of one name brand.
The magic eraser that I've purchased falls apart and crumbles but the magic erasers my mom buys doesn't fall apart but it also doesn't clean very well. The difference was the ones I buy are from the grocery storelabelled as the original and are rectangles with straight edges while the ones my mom bought were from Costco and had wavy edges, both were labelled as Magic Erasers. I think they have different formulations for different markets and uses.
I use them all the time, they ALL will crumble eventually. Next time don't throw it away. Keep using it and watch it get smaller and smaller until you have this little clump, and you're just trying to clean one more thing...oh wait...that's me. 😂
Hush, communist. Hush.
When I use them, I cut them into to 4 pieces. The squeezing seems to break them down faster. My shoes only require one piece at most.
WHY are people not wearing gloves while handling cleaning chemicals? Your skin absorbs everything!
Myth...
Freeyourmind No. No it’s not.
It’s not a chemical
Magic Eraser works GREAT on sneakers & shoes!!
I was going to buy some of these until I watched this video.
I bought a 50 pack of store brand off Amazon for $14.98. I'm still working my way through them very slowly.
I hadn’t heard about the fabreezing of the dogs rumor. Good thing because every once in a while they need it. 🐕🐕
What does desperation for content look like? This...this right here...
Good Night Irene! Who was the idiot who tried to eat the Magic Eraser? Did they forget what aisle of the grocery store they were in?
You know, it could be!
You seriously use Snopes as a reliable info source??? BWAHAHAHA! First, last, and only time I'll ever watch your channel.
Yes probably because Snopes is in fact a reliable info source. You must be a conservatard who hates them because they destroy your little world of alternate facts and faux news
Bet this couldn't erase my childhood memories.
Instructions unclear, got methylamine instead and ended up buying a car wash.
Always use gloves. After using them for hours on walls. Oh by the way I'm a cleaner. 🤣 Your hands will feel like they have tiny cuts on them
Look up the chemical components it IS LITTLE CUTS ON YOUR HANDS
Google" how does magic eraser work" trust me I DO IN FACT HAVE LITTLE CUTS
I bought off brand magic erasers and they don't work the same.
I did an allergic reaction to magic eraser that had febreeze in it. So did my daugther be cause i cleaned the bath with it. During 3 days. Wrote to mr clean on facebook. They sent me a 5$ prepaid credit card....
Wait even after rinsing the tub or did you not rinse?
I'm still waiting on the untold truth of untold truth videos.
Takes the paint off my walls
Thanks for sharing 🌻
Swifter, or febreeze definitely won’t kill your pets, but I have seen some animals have pretty nasty reactions in the form of contact dermatitis.
Wow...just,never expected a cleaning product...
