20 Below: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

Last week I bought a package of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers on the advice 0f a Roots salesperson who suggested that it could be used to clean my leather bags.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, 4 pack, $3.47, Walmart

Well, the Magic Eraser sort of worked on my leather bags but it really did work magic around my kitchen. In seconds, yes, seconds, my stove top, my sink and my small kitchen appliances were gleaming. Now I’m kind of addicted and I’m trying it on everything. Last night my cupboards got a bit of Magic Eraser action and now they’re extra white, which obviously makes me happy. I’m discovering all the cleaning possibilities, are you?
