Well, they are magic because they are made with baking soda that they found a way to make them into a sponge like material. They are safe on everything and yes, they are wonderful on glass stove tops as well as our irons. I love them on my corian countertops and sinks.

Cleaning with Magic Eraser works. But make sure the iron is cool. Ask me how I know. And it is my rotary cutting finger.

The Faultless Hot Iron Cleaner works very well. You put down some old fabric or I use about 6 or 7 layers of paper towels, place the cleaner on the towels then iron over it at the hottest setting, then you can use the magic eraser to remove some of the stubborn stuff that doesn't come off as easily. You can usually get this at Wal-Mart in the laundry area.

The Magic erasers are made from ground up Melamine. The same as the dishware. That's why it crumbles up when using.

I use metal (silver) polish on mine when it's cool. Removes everything.
