Thanks for the input. I think the hint I was impressed with is cleaning the iron.

I hand quilt, and I use the magic eraser to remove quilting markings as I go along.

I was telling myDS about magic erasers a while back. He got some and told me he wasnt that impressed with them. Well, i couldnt believe it cuz they are truly wonderful. So i told him again what i used them on. He interupted me and said- you have to wet them? ( proof that men don't read directions and that my son only hears half of what i say)

They are great for cleaning fiberglass tubs and showers. Mr. Clean also makes one (comes in 2 pack at Target) specifically for the bath with grooves and scented with Febreze. I found the scent a little much for me so I went back to the regular ones. The generic ones work too.

You can iron wax paper, I remember mom always using it to clean her iron. and we used it to press leaves between it.

I washed my windshield inside with one. Did a great job, no streaking.

DO NOT USE THESE ON YOUR PRECIOUS MACHINES...The Magic erasers are made with micro abrasive, that means mico scratches and after a while, items will dull that the erasers have been used on. Ceramic seems to do just fine. If you wipe a wall after the kids...you will see latex paint on the sponge. Easy does it on surfaces and never on your machines.

My husband uses them to clean the soles (sides) of his tennis shoes. I use them for everything!
