Mark remover for walls and floors
- Cleans crayon, grease and fingerprints
- Removes scuff marks from floors and walls
- Cleans many household surfaces
- Can remove paint or finish from wood
- Wears away quickly with use
Users say Mr. Clean Magic Eraser successfully removes a wide variety of marks, including crayon, grease, rust and fingerprints. It also does a good job removing scuff marks from floors and walls. The product is described as very easy to use, and consumers say it can be used on a wide variety of other surfaces, including toys, tile grout, whiteboards and computers. However, many users -- including some who say they like the product -- complain that it doesn't last very long. Another common complaint is that the Magic Eraser removes paint and other finishes from walls and furniture. For use on painted walls, you might consider another well-reviewed product, Orange-Sol De-Solv-it Household Cleaner (*Est. $6.15 for 12 oz.), which is especially effective against sticky messes and can also be used as a laundry pre-treatment.
About.com reviews the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser in a single-product review, and it's also tested in a television news segment at KTLV (Tyler, Tex.) We also found scores of user reviews at Amazon.com and more than 350 on Viewpoints.com. The overwhelming majority of reviews on both sites give the product a perfect score. Only a handful of reviews are negative, and many of those are actually for a different product, the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Mop. Several of the reviewers who pan the mop specifically say that they love the original Magic Eraser.

In this television news review, a report tests the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser's claims of removing crayon marks. "It's evident early on that it's going to work," the reporter says, although he has to use two Magic Erasers to remove the entire stain, and it leaves behind a slight residue. Still the reporter is generally satisfied with the Magic Eraser and says it works as advertised.
