mr clean magic eraser
 

I've tried searching but I can't find the post about using a mr clean magic eraser. Anybody remember what it was about? I just remember that I was impressed and when I found mine I couldn't remember what it was about. Boo!!!

It's been mentioned for cleaning build-up on irons, and I'm sure it would be good for that, but I spray starch all the time and nothing has built up on my iron. I use the magic erasers on my ceramic cooktop and they're great for that. Dampen it first to prevent crumbling.

I use them for cleaning everything in the house. Can't live without them!

I love them too, I have white kitchen cupboards and those magic erasers are simply the easiest thing to wipe them down with.

Somewhere I read that a quilter used one dry to scrub her cutting matte. I use a kitchen sponge with the green side (dry) to scrub off threads,etc from my cutting mattes.
I use Mr Clean Magic Erasers to clean tons of things in my home, plus to clean hard shelled gourds.

I use a dampened magic eraser to clean my iron and it works GREAT. Be sure the iron is cold when you clean it. (Unlike Rose_P, I get all kinds of buildup on my iron.:confused:)

p.s. This is probably the absolute best hint I've learned here so far!!!

I remember my mom cleaning build-up off the bottom her iron by putting salt on a sheet of waxed paper and moving the iron over the salt. I guess it acted like an abrasive like sand paper. Anyway, it sure got off the build-up.

I use them on everything!!:thumbup:

Are you sure it was waxed paper and not parchment?? I would think that the wax would melt and stick to the iron, which would defeat the purpose of cleaning it...

I've done it with salt but on aluminum foil.

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.

love the magic erasers!

I use a fabric that had lots of dye I did pre- wash and the dye come off on my new expensive sewing machine I was sick.I tried bleach nothing I tried a few other things nothing some told me to try Mr clean magic eraser it worked it got the dye off I was sooo happy
It is great on shower scum too

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

I was going to the store today to get some goof off to get paint off a featherweight case I am selling tomorrow I just tried the mr clean magic eraser it worked I don't have to use that goof off ya!!!!

I remember using the wax paper bread wrappers but in a pinch we used waxed paper and the iron would be so slick.

Ditto! When they first came out I figured they'd be useless but wow... was I wrong! I use them on EVERYTHING!

I always used wax paper to remove gunk from my iron but I also used to buy something in a tube (I think I got it at either the grocery store or at Hancock's) that you put on a dry rag & rubbed on, then ironed on something kinda nubby. I just don't have a problem with gunk anymore... my iron is too cheap for anything to stick to... LOL!

My mom used to use bread wrappers when they were wax coated like waxed paper, you want to make sure you use a warm iron not hot. I know that ages me, but that was back in the day before plastic bread wrappers

Never used one.

Oooh, that's right! We melted crayons! Wow, I had completely forgotten about that....

I tried the Mr. Clean magic eraser to get black marker off of a tackle box, it didn't work.

did you wet it? I've always gotten marker off stuff with no problem....

I bought a package and forgot to use them. "I walk among you". LOL

My mom did the same, but she used a wash cloth (wet) with lots of salt on it, ran the iron over it. Then had another clean cloth for cleaning the salt off the iron.

I wish I could use them to erase
Y wrinkles, age spots and the fat off my body! LOL

I love these things for all kinds of cleaning !
