Magic Erasers have been around for a while and you’ve probably used one around your home, but I bet you’ve never tried these 15 unique hacks. They’re great to keep in your cleaning cupboard and will save you loads of time and money on cleaning products.
If you’re wondering how Magic Erasers work, they’re essentially a block of melamine foam which acts as a very fine sand paper to gently lift dirt and stains from the surface and trap the residue into the foam.
