Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Works for Me
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Cleaning Pads 
Magic erasers are white sponges that you get a bit damp and then scrub away at all of the annoying dirty marks. The pad easily and thoroughly breaks up tough dirt, lifting it away from surfaces. And, it does all this with just water alone. Pick them up from almost any grocery store for about $4 for a pack of two sponges. I get them when I find them on sale.
My favorite use is to clean the stove top. When we got this house the stainless stove top was a real mess (you aren’t suppose to use Mr Clean Eraser on glossy surfaces but my stove top gloss was long gone anyway).
I had spent a lot of time and elbow grease on this stove top. Then I had my strong 13-year-old son work on it for 15 minutes. It was almost impossible. Then I used the magic sponge and my 13-year-old son was astonished. “What did you do?” he cried. He was as frustrated as I was (wish I would have thought to take before and after photos). Now I just wipe with Mr. Clean; no need for elbow grease.
Here’s a cute commercial made for a Magic Eraser contest:

You Should Know
- Do not allow young children to handle these sponges. There was a scary image showing skin irritation on a child from a Scotch Brite Easy Eraser (similar product) on a blog, but there is dispute about whether it was from chemicals or the abrasive action of the product from being rubbed on the skin. Either way, keep away from the little guys.
- Do not use on highly glossy or satin finishes. Some surfaces can be stripped of their finish.
- Some reports say paint can become discolored or lighter if you scrub on it, so test this in an area where it doesn’t show first.
- The sponge will begin to disintegrate after the first use. It eventually crumbles away, literally rubbing away into nothingness.
