Tips For Mom: Magic Eraser

If you do not currently have a stash of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers in your cleaning supply area, RUN, do not walk, to stock up.



I have been using Magic Erasers for a while, now. I knew they were pretty cool, but did not realize HOW cool until this morning.

When Turtle managed to snag the black Sharpie from the middle of the kitchen table.

The WHITE kitchen table.

And opened it.

And touched the tip to the white surface.

And drew his signature circle spiral.

You remember that scene in Shrek 2, when the giant gingerbread man falls backwards into the pool of foamed milk, and Gingy screams "Noooooooooo!!!!!!!1111!!" and it's all awful and in slow motion and sound? Yeah, that's kind of what it looked (and sounded) like when I lunged for that Sharpie.

(Minus the gumdrop buttons, of course.)

I didn't panic.

I went for my go-to cleaner: baby wipes.

A little scrub-a-dub, and nothing. I took a deep breath, and thought, well, it's not too bad. It's not huge. At some point, I'll probably need to repaint the table, so it's not THAT big of a deal.

I was really trying to convince myself.

And then I remembered my box of Magic Erasers. I grabbed that beautiful block of white, dampened it under the faucet, and attacked the Sharpie spot.

It was GONE in less than 10 seconds of animated scrubbing. Not a trace remains. SCORE!

Additionally, the Magic Eraser is amazing for the following:

• toothpaste in the sink
• dog nail scratch marks on the door
• husband and child fingerprints on doors, walls and white banister
• red wine stain on the light grout
