A couple of years ago, I was talking with a friend of mine about needing to clean my vinyl outdoor fence. I was talking about dragging out my power washer and spending all weekend trying to clean the gunk off the panels. My friend looked at me like I was crazy and asked why I didn't just use a Magic Eraser sponge.
HUH? I had totally forgotten about these. I remember the commercials from years ago. I used them off and on to clean things in my kitchen, but honestly, I hadn't bought any in years and never thought about them in regards to cleaning something outside.
I promptly ordered a bunch of them and set to work. They made easy work of the gunk on my fence. I could sit on a stool, with a bucket of water and the sponges, and go to town. I could do a little at a time without having to drag the power washer in and out. It made the job so much easier and allowed me to work on the fence when I had even small blocks of time.
This winter, it came time to deep clean the kitchen tile floors. Usually, for this chore, I would drag out the clothes steamer and steam the tiles a few at a time, and then scrub them. This time, I pulled out my bucket and my Magic Eraser sponges. The floor looks cleaner than it has following any of my past cleanings with the steamer.
I have used them for other smaller projects and am loving them.
Funny how sometimes you forget about something wonderful, and then a friend helps you out. I thank my friend very much for reminding me of these little miracle workers.
I too had forgotten about the commercials, I always thought they were another "gimmick" and a money waster. Boy was I wrong! I just recently discovered how wonderful these little miracle workers are after many years of scrubbing, inhaling bleach fumes and lots of sweat equity, these are truly amazing little miracle workers
