Household Hints

Post by LovelyLadyLux »

So the household HINT for the old year OR the New year is to use Magic Erasers. Not that anybody here has ever used a marker on my walls but I do use these and love 'em.

Just read this (and this is a copy and paste)

The first time I used a Magic Eraser, I simply couldn’t stop. Truth be
told, I caught on a bit late. In fact, it wasn’t until a few months ago
that a house guest, after listening to me complain about the scratches
on my wall, introduced me to the gift that is this magical white sponge.

Dampened with water, I went through an entire 12-pack of Magic Erasers,
scrubbing the red coat rack paint from my stark white entryway wall and
the coffee mug rings on my white kitchen table (that I thought were
there to stay). I scrubbed every surface until no mark was left
untouched. The magic of this eraser had won me over. And it remains an
important part of my cleaning toolkit. Magic Erasers can be, well,
magic…but before you go crazy, check out these 10 things you should
never do with a Magic Eraser.

If you’re like me, you’ve probably wondered on several occasions, as
you’ve scrubbed crayon mark off the wall, about the magic behind this
eraser. It comes down to one powerful ingredient.

The main ingredient in the Magic Eraser is melamine foam, which is made
of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen. This foam is an effective sponge-like
material. The combination of hard and soft structures within the
“sponge” is what makes the magic. Melamine foam is harder than what
makes up most stains, but it’s softer than most of the surfaces those
stains are on. This allows the Magic Eraser to remove stains without
scratching the surface underneath or around the stain.

Ever notice how a Magic Eraser sort of disintegrates as you scrub? Its
sponge-like cell structure is delicate enough that it wears off on the
durable layer under the stain. In other words, the scrubbing of the
sponge loosens the dirt, while its open-cell structure soaks up and
grabs the grime. Want to get your house sparkling clean in less time?

hours of cleaning each week.

And in case you’re still skeptical, read this review on the Mr. Clean
website:

“Mr. Clean Magic Eraser stinks. My son drew on a recently painted
wall with a Sharpie (the brand name, not a cheap knockoff), small
drawing, but a drawing nonetheless. I figured the best way to have him
learn his lesson was to go up there, scrub for a long time, then I’ll go
finish it up (he’s only 6). Nope. I handed him the Magic Eraser and told
him to go upstairs and clean the wall. Literally two minutes later he
comes down, ‘I’m all done Daddy.’ I walk up to check, nothing. Thanks to
Mr. Clean and his ‘magic eraser’ I now have to figure out another way to
teach my kids not to draw on walls.”
