20 Awesome Uses for Magic Erasers

If you aren’t familiar with magic erasers, you are totally missing out. It is my main go cleaning item when it comes to housework. When I first heard about them (many moons ago) I was a total skeptic. There was no way I was going to spend money to try out some sort of “magic” sponge when I could just use a rag I had laying around the house.

I ended up receiving a few of them for FREE in the mail and decided I might as well give them a shot. I mean they were free after all, I would be silly not to. Now I see they are so perfect for general cleaning, scuff marks off the floor and wall, or removing grime from the shower. But, there are a ton of other ways to use these handy dandy tools. Here are just a few:

-Remove toilet bowl rings- cut off a piece of the Magic Eraser and let it sit in the toilet overnight

– Remove paint scratches on your car from minor fender benders

– Remove cooked-on stains in pots and pans

– Remove rust from most surfaces

– Clean pool liners

– Clean your dishwasher interior

– Clean plastic coolers inside and out

– Remove nail polish spills or stains

– Remove hair dye from counter tops

– Remove food stains inside plastic food containers

– Remove adhesive residue after removing stickers

– Remove tarnish from silver

– Clean splatters inside the microwave

– Clean the outdoor side of window sills stained from leaves, dust and dirt

– Clean oven shelves & the grates on the grill

– Clean window screens (even when they are still in the window)

– Clean car tires, including white walls

– Remove grass stains from shoes after mowing the lawn

– Remove paint overspray that has dried

– Remove dark paint on light-colored carpet

    Wow! I never knew you could do so many things with the! I’ve just been glad that they help me get my daughter’s “art” off the floor and walls. Do they really work for toilet bowl ring? I will have to try it.

    The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is made from raw material manufactured by the largest chemical company in the world – BASF in Germany. The raw product is called Basotect. Please tell your readers to be wary of cheap Chinese knock offs which are available online and in some discount retail stores. Chinese melamine has been tested and may leave behind dangerous levels of chemicals in the residue. Our company, Spongeoutlet.com, is located in New York State and produces sponges made from Basotect, the identical material to the Magic Eraser. We sell these safe sponges for as little as $0.29 per sponge and shipping is free. If you have any questions about these amazing sponges, feel free to email us at sales@spongeoutlet.com.

    The best use is to clean composite kitchen sinks. Nothing seems to get them clean especially if they’re dark in color. A composite kitchen sink looks like some kind of plastic with a texture.

    one more use for magic erasers: if you use a self-tanner product (cream or spray) and you find it’s uneven, take a clean (unused) damp magic eraser and lightly rub at the darker areas. You can even it out this way.

    my favorite use is to clean light switch plates, especially the ones leading from garage to the sink. Dirty/greasy marks come right up.

    I read online on Everyday Cheapskate that you can buy this eraser material in sheets and cut your own and is so much cheaper…..but I have never looked for it or tried it…..

    Oh that would be amazing!!

    Hey Paula – as the largest private labeller of these products in North America – if someone is selling sheets – it is forbidden by the manufacturer. You can go to our website – however – and purchase sponges that are identical material to the Magic Eraser for as little as $0.29 persponge with free shipping. Please do not buy sheets (or spognes) made from Chinese melamine. Sponges made from Basotect (Magic Eraser) are safe to be used in the presence of food, children and pets.
