Magic Eraser Uses In My Home And Tips For Use

by Nora
(Chandler, AZ)

Nora has shared her Magic Eraser uses around her home, and her tip for using it effectively.

Nora says:

I use my Mr. Clean Eraser all the time. I always keep one on hand.


I have an eight year old boy, five year old boy and a 20 month old girl. Because of them I continually have fingerprints and drawings on my white walls. I love that it takes dirt, crayon and fingerprints off the walls.

I also use it to clean my base boards, and it makes a huge difference. It takes almost all of the dirt and scuff marks off of them.



The only problem I have had is trying to clean my front door with it. Then, it leaves a chalk residue on the door.

I also now drain all the excess water out of the sponge before I begin to use it. At first, I guess I left too much water in it when I would wet it, because it would run dirty water down my walls as I rubbed. Lesson learned.

The positives of this product definitely out weigh the negatives. It is very reasonably priced, and it is easy to find at most stores.

Taylor says:

Thanks for sharing how you use your Magic Eraser Nora.

I'm always looking for more ways to use this versatile cleaning product, and also for tips for use and what it does not work well on. You can share your tips and uses for the Mr. Clean Eraser here, or read others that have already been submitted.

I Use My Magic Eraser All Over My Home

by Tara
(Fort Collins, Colorado)

Tara has shared how she uses this product throughout her home.

Tara says:

I have used the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser for many things in my home, and have always been very happy with the effectiveness of it.

I have found that it is wonderful for removing marks off of painted walls and baseboards. I have also found it very useful for removing scuff marks from tennis shoes.

I have white appliances in my kitchen, and it works wonders in restoring them to their original brightness. For example, in my kitchen I've used it successfully on my stove top, the outside of my dishwasher, and my microwave.

I've also used it successfully in the bathroom, such as on my bathroom sink and shower stall.

I have not found any surface that I have used it on that it did not work well.

I also think it is very reasonably priced, considering that you are able to get several uses out of it. The only thing that I dislike about it is that is breaks off and leaves "eraser pieces" while you are using it, and I find these hard to clean up.

Overall though, I have been very pleased with the results from it, and find it quite useful.

Taylor says:

Thanks Tara for sharing how you use the Magic Eraser to clean multiple areas of your home.

Mr. Clean Super Eraser Cleaned Our Boat!

by Edie
(Vancouver Island)

I love hearing more uses for the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, and Edie sent me in another one.

Edie says:

We just bought a pre-owned 30' sailboat and spent the day cleaning it.

My husband happened to pick up a Mr. Clean eraser when he was looking for products to do the job. We were both amazed at what it took off (mildew, black marks, cup stains, stuck on weather grime...) so now we're telling all our boater friends about it!

Taylor says:

Thanks Edie for sharing how this product has worked for you!

How To Remove Soot Stains With Magic Eraser

A great way to remove soot stains from hard surfaces like cabinets, ceilings, and walls is to use the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (or its generic equivalent).

The video below shows the use of the Magic Eraser.

In addition, it gives some additional tips for soot stain removal, including to use soy candles since she says they don't produce soot.

Please comment below if you have found this to be true or not about soy candles, because I have not heard this before.

In addition, for the smoke smell left behind from the soot she suggests using vinegar and water for odor removal.

Here is my advice for removing soot stains from clothing, upholstery and carpet.

How I Use My Original Mr. Clean Magic Eraser In My Home

by LeAnne
(Stamford, CT)

LeAnne has shared how she uses this product within her home.

LeAnne says:

The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is a must have for household cleaning, in my opinion. It is the one product that cleans up all the things that other cleaners can’t remove.

I have used mine on many surfaces in my home, and it removes even the most difficult stains and marks easily. All you have to do is wet the Magic Eraser and rub the stain you want to remove. I have successfully removed crayon marks and dirt stains from the white walls in my apartment with it, and it didn’t harm the paint at all.

I also use it every time I clean the bathtub to get the stains out of the tile grout.

I even use it to clean the permanent marker writing off old garage sale and other signs to reuse them.

The best part is that you can use the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser over and over again, until it just completely "disappears" with use, which takes quite a while. Overall, I love this cleaning tool!

Taylor says:

Thanks LeAnne for sharing how you use the Magic Eraser in your home.

Looking at all of the uses which readers have shared above, it is just amazing how many uses people have found for this product.

I'm always looking for more ways to use it. Plus, I want to know if you've ever been disappointed with how it works, or if it ever harmed a surface you tried to use it on.

Further, Mr. Clean has come out with several "versions" of the Magic Eraser, such as for the kitchen or bath specifically, plus the original which many of us have previously used. I would love to hear from those who have used these newer versions to say how they differ and otherwise compare to the original. You can share your uses and reviews here, or read others that have already been submitted. (I've collected some here, but there are more scattered throughout the site, which I've collected together.)
