15 Surprising Ways to Use the Magic Eraser
I have to admit that I love the Magic Eraser and have been using this product for years. I have them stashed all over my house, and I carry them in my organizing bag when visiting clients. The Magic Eraser has evolved over the years and can be used in so many ways. Everyone knows that the Magic Eraser is good for cleaning marks off of walls, but here are 15 surprising ways to use the Magic Eraser.
I want to note that I also use the store brand erasers, which cost less and work almost as well as the Mr. Clean brand. So, when I refer to the Magic Eraser, I am also referring to the store brands.
Here are a few surprising things the Magic Eraser can do:
- Cleans the inside of your oven door
- Removes soap scum from the shower door
- Cleans mirrors in the bathroom, so they don’t fog up
- Removes the sticky stuff that is left behind when you take off stickers or price tags
- Removes rust and stains on the countertop
- Removes nail polish stains
- Removes toilet bowl rings (cut a small piece and leave it in the toilet overnight)
- Cleans tile and grout
- Removes food stains inside plastic food containers
- Removes marker and ink stains
- Cleans sneakers
- Removes set-in stains inside glass and plastic pitchers
- Cleans stains from gas cooktop
- Cleans pots and pans with cooked-on stains
- Removes stains inside the dishwasher
Seriously, this thing is amazing and is capable of so much more. This list is only scratching the surface of what the Magic Eraser can do!
The only downside that I have noticed is that they don’t last very long. To make them last longer, I cut them into smaller pieces, and only lightly mist them with water (if you saturate them, they will shrivel up). When they get dirty, I mist a different area on the eraser and keep on cleaning.
I also use the Magic Eraser to clean things that are giving me trouble, or are not coming off with regular cleaners.

I love this thing! Your tips are amazing. Some I didn’t realize that it cleaned. Thank you!
You’re very welcome! Glad it helped! 🙂
These things are little miracle workers!
I know! I would be heartbroken if they stopped making them. I really should be a spokesperson for Magic Erasers! 😉
Definitely going to try this on my shower screen as I’ve tried everything including Kerosene.
Give it a try…I’m sure you won’t be disappointed! 🙂
Love magic erasers! Some great tips to keep in mind. We have used them many times when moving into a new apartment. They has removed grease/other messes from the oven, messes in the fridge and have removed nicotine from the walls/blinds (all from a previous tenant). I also use them all the time to clean my classroom. Occasionally, they have the Mr. Clean brand at Dollartree and we will pick up a few packs if we see them there 🙂
I’m telling you, they are amazing! Whenever I try to clean something and it doesn’t come off completely, I get my Magic Eraser and away it goes! I’ll have to keep my eye out for them at the Dollar Tree so I can stock up. Thanks for your comment!
