Do you know the magic eraser? It is also called "magic sponge".
Me, it's my friend Sophie (who is a cleaning lady), who told me about it.
And since then, I never clean without using one of these miraculous sponges!
What makes Magic Eraser so special?
It's the ease with which it removes stains and dirt, and it can be used on all surfaces!
Believe my experience, the magic eraser really does small miracles. And no need to buy Mr. Clean Magic Eraser...
Supermarkets and DIY stores sell their own magic eraser for only 1€ each .
Here are 150+ Breathtaking Magic Eraser Uses That Will Make Your Life Easier . Watch:
- It is a white sponge and extremely light , like polystyrene.
- It is composed of melanin foam , a porous material that penetrates microscopic grooves and other hard-to-clean surfaces...like magic!
- To use, just wet it with water and scrub the surface to be cleaned.
- Thus, as you will have understood, this means that the magic eraser is used without no cleaning products. No detergent, no chemicals... and no elbow grease either!

After my very first use of the magic eraser, I was speechless.
The little white sponge worked almost too well – in any case, well beyond my expectations!
But there is one small detail that totally convinced me.
It's that magic erasers can penetrate and clean all types of materials :metal, wood, lino, etc., including slightly rough and uneven surfaces.

In less than 5 min, I had already wiped down all our appliances, plus the light switches in the kitchen and also the cupboards.
The result is just amazing !

The magic erasers disintegrate over time:this is perhaps their only fault.
But that says a lot about their great cleaning power.
If they deteriorate, it is because their microscopic bubbles are filled with the dirt they have extracted from the smallest corners of the cleaned areas.
Here's how to make your magic erasers last:
1. Cut each magic eraser block into 8 or 9 pieces of equal size, widthwise. This way, you get 8 to 9 times more surface area to clean and remove streaks!
2. Spray 1 piece only with a light coating of water , using a spray bottle for example. Indeed, by saturating the rubber with too much water, it tends to degrade more quickly.
3. Lightly rub the area to be cleaned with the magic eraser , then wipe with a damp cloth to avoid streaking and to remove any residue.
4. When your "slice" of magic eraser begins to turn black (after a few uses), simply spray it again to give it a second life. Don't forget to squeeze out the excess water. Then, continue to use the piece until it begins to fall apart.
