Magic Eraser can clean that?!

Our bathroom counter tops are seriously hideous. I have NO idea what the previous owners did to the poor things. There are rings and stains and rust all over them! We have tried EVERY cleaning product we could think of, but NOTHING took off these ugly stains. Well the other day I came across a blog post about the amazing things one little product could clean. That's when it happened.... I rediscovered the Magic Eraser and it has changed my life! I have no idea why I didn't familiarize myself with this product more.. I never really even TRIED to use it before.
Check out the things this bad boy has cleaned in my home!
Ian and I have been discussing buying new counter tops for the past 4 years! One evening Ian came home from work and his jaw dropped when he saw our "new" bathroom! It maybe took me 5-10 minutes to scrub each bathroom counter top. I got the select a size Magic Erasers and went through one little sponge per bathroom before it totally disintegrated. I hardly used any water too. Just sprayed a little here and there. I never soaked it unless I was rinsing out the sponge.
Another thing I tackled was our kitchen sink. In the drain there was a super nasty ring. I have tried to scrub it with other sponges and they did NOTHING. Check it out after using the Magic Eraser! It took off not only the nastiness in the drain but also took off grime and water spots. Look how much it shines!!
 I've tried it on a few other spots like our greasy oven hood. We usually just use a Clorox Wipe... which does NOTHING but smear the grease. The Magic Eraser took of the grease! Although it did crumble and disintegrate instantly while using it this time around.

I've also cleaned the inside of our back door. That door is so gross. I'm sad I didn't take a before and after. So many finger print stains and scuffs from moving things in and out of the house. Again, I've tired Clorox Wipes, which did nothing. Mr. Clean took it right off!

  1. The magic eraser works great on the toilet, but it doesn't do it by itself. We have the scrubbing bubbles toilet freshbrush handle and just clip 1/2 the magic eraser on there. Melamine Foam Cleaning Sponge
