A friend tipped me off to the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser a couple years ago, swearing it was the most genius cleaning tool she'd ever encountered. Her endorsement was so convincing I ran out and bought one on the spot. I've been using mine regularly to remove any kind of wall scuffs, and it's worked brilliantly. Last weekend when I happened to be visiting another friend, I discovered a couple new uses for the product (I watched as she buffed the rubbery tip of her Converse sneakers with one, and then also used it to clean a pair of white flip-flops-neither of which I ever would have thought of), which prompted me to research the many ways they can be utilized in and around your home. Click on to see a list of 30 ideas to make the most of a Magic Eraser. I'm curious: How are you using yours?
