mr. clean magic eraser cleaning pads

This product lives up to its name. For certain challenging jobs, it is an amazing product that can save the day. For example, we discovered extensive blue stains on our beautiful claw-foot oak dining room table this morning, and it was readily apparent that our kids had done the damage, wielding a permanent "Sharpie" marker without sufficient backing material under the paper they were drawing on. Those who are experienced with Sharpies know how indelible the dense dye ink dye is on nearly any surface - but particularly if soaked into the grain of a porous substance like wood. As I shook my head in resignation that our heirloom table would be permanently marred, my wife broke out the Magic Eraser, and in the space of one minute the stain completely disappeared. The finish on the table was unchanged, but somehow the indelible ink was gone. I was truly amazed.

Some have commented about the durability of the sponge material. Apparently we haven't put the Magic Eraser through the kind of punishment that shortens its life. Ours seems to have plenty of life left in it - but I wouldn't care if it was already destroyed. It has paid for itself a thousand times over in saving this piece of furniture.
