In my opinion, one of the best cleaning products I've ever used is the Magic Eraser by Mr. Clean. It really does work like magic. I first discovered them several years ago when my second child was a toddler. He had found an ink pen and drew some nice scribbles on my living room wall. I tried everything I had around the house to get it off, but to no avail. Fortunately, there was a chair in that general area, so it wasn't really visible to everyone. But I knew it was there!

I had heard friends talking about this new product called Magic Eraser.They claimed it worked on just about any kind of stain. So, on my next trip to the store, I bought one. They actually come in a box of two, so I thought that was great. When I got home from the store, I immediately wanted to try it. I took out one of the Magic Erasers. It looked like a white sponge. I wet it, and went right away to the ink scribbles on the living room wall. With minimal effort, the ink disappeared! I was amazed. I took the Magic Eraser around my house and quickly took care of fingerprints on the walls, more ink, a little paint splattered on the floor, even some mystery stains. The Magic Eraser truly was magic! I knew this product would be my favorite cleaning product.

Now, I work as a custodian at an elementary school. I always make sure I have a Magic Eraser handy. I use them all over the building. I can easily remove fingerprints, ink, pencil, paint, scuff marks, scrapes on the walls, just about everything. The Magic Eraser works on lots of different surfaces. I use it on painted walls, wood, tile floors, doors, even the bathroom sinks at times.

I now find myself telling other people about this great product. I've convinced a couple of people that I work with to try it. I've also told some family members, who have tried it and found it to be truly a great thing. I never thought I would want to write about something like a cleaning product. But this is one thing that I use constantly and wanted to share with the readers on Helium. I hope I have convinced some readers to go out and buy a Magic Eraser and put it to use around their homes.
