Mr. Clean Magic Eraser
My friend Mr. Jalopy alerted me to the astonishingly effective Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. In a world deluged with so-called wonder products that fail to do anything but inflict a feeling of shame for being suckered into buying them, I'm happy to report that "magic" is not too strong a word for this cleaning product.
The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser resembles a small, brick-shaped marshmallow. It radiates an essence of almost cartoonlike purity. Mr. Jalopy used his to wipe away decades of smokey grime from the surface of a pinball machine he rescued. I use mine to remove traces of dust covered sugar, honey, syrup, and grease that my kids are fond of wiping on the walls, cabinets, and doors of our house. Their foul paws are no match for the magic of Mr. Clean. I keep one in my pocket at all times. $2.99 per 2-pack on Amazon

I use these to clean schmutz off of the painted walls in my apartment.
There's a portion of the hallway that gets sprayed with dirty water when the dog shakes off. The "magic eraser" does a good job of removing the stuff without messing up the paint.
I'd like to plug microfiber cleaning clothes. Good wet or dry, and you can wash and reuse them.
I'd also like to suggest that you don't scrub with this on painted surfaces. We scrubbed our painted countertops with one of these in our apartment to get fingerprinting powder off (we were burglarized by a group of Katrina refugees) and it ate layers of the paint off. Be careful!
Keep in mind, these DO scratch (just a little). But they do work very well.
I have to agree that the magic eraser is the bomb. My wife cleaned our whole house with that when we moved. Spotless. Great stuff!
One thing that you have to be aware of when using the Magic Eraser is that it will take the shine off semi-gloss and glossy paint. Essentially, the Magic Eraser is extra super fine sandpaper.
I use the Eraser at least once a day - they are certainly magic.

I agree that the Magic Eraser rocks, but this is even better!
My 2 year old son took a black sharpie marker to my keyboard and monitor and this magic eraser was the only thing that go it clean!
And the Magic Eraser is awesome for cleaning the grime off your keyboard, particularly those lovely white Apple keyboards.
You can get these at the grocery store and at Target. I am a principal of a middle school and use them daily to wash a myriad of obscenities from the walls of the bathrooms.
They are freaking magical!!!!
I have heard that they contain formaldihyde. Is this true?
