House Flippers Need Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

Every home has some form of textured plastic in the kitchen. Some good examples are refrigerator and oven handles and dishwasher control panels. This textured plastic is a bugger to get clean. Dirt finds its way down into the texture and just wiping doesn’t get it. Even scrubbing can afford minimal results because the scrubber sits on the surface and doesn’t get down into the texture. House Flippers find this in houses that are purchased as is and have been sitting for a time. So what to do? Settle for dingy? No way. Get ye a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and be your own Merlin.

The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is aptly named. It does seem like magic and it really erases the dirt. Just dampen the sponge-like eraser and scrub over the area to be cleaned. You will be amazed, I was. I was so impressed with what it did on the textured plastic, I began testing it on other cleaning challenges. I used it to clean gas stove elements and burners, burned on grease on the broiler, crusty countertops, ink and other marks on painted walls and nasty chrome, when usual cleaning methods left residue. It did a wonderful job.

At home I use the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to clean plastic trash cans, the bottom of my iron, telephone handsets, the outside of the toaster, kids toys, the humidifier, just about anything made of plastic that gets dirty from handling and usage.

The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is fragrance free and does not “foam or soap up” when wet. It doesn’t take much moisture to work, so it is relatively dry when in use, which means you can use it on items such as the telephone, without worrying about water damage to the electronics. The eraser does disintegrate with use-so does an eraser-so don’t be surprised that it keeps getting smaller. Once it is too small to use, toss it and get another. Depending on what you are cleaning, it can be used many times over. It tends to get a little dirty looking with use, but who is going to see it, if you hide it under the sink.

Do you have any of those molded plastic deck or lawn chairs? It works great for those too! Try it and see what kind of magic you can make it do.

Note: I tried the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on cigarette burns on cultured marble sink tops, but it didn’t do as good a job as the Burn Buster Kit mentioned in the article Tips To Maximize Profits With The House Flip, here at Associated Content.
