HOW TO REMOVE CRAYON ON waLLS, tOYS, ETC...OR...HOW i DYED MY HAIR AND MY BATHROOM CABINETS (OOPS!)5/24/2020 ![]() How have I not appreciated Mr. Clean’s Magic Eraser Sheets sooner? About a year ago, I had heard they were good for cleaning shoes, so I naturally bought an economy sized box at Costco (ugh, to stroll Costco aisles again and shop aimlessly). I tried to polish up my white Keds full of stroller marks and footprints (you hear me). The rubber portion cleaned up well, but the canvas just seemed to get wet-dirty. It wasn't quite the look I was going for. I hadn’t touched the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers since. Hellooooo quarantine for encouraging me to give them another shot. (It also made me appreciate my pack-rat qualities for hanging onto them.) Quarantine has really helped me perfect my home hair dye techniques. The techniques are still clearly a work in progress, because while trying to cover up my gray roots at home, I splattered hair coloring artistically down the front of my white bathroom cabinets. There’s nothing quite as gut wrenching as seeing black hair dye on white cabinets. Soap and water just seemed to encourage the dye to soak into the cabinets while simultaneously raising my blood pressure. I had nothing to lose, so enter the Magic Eraser! I wet the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser sponge a little on the corner and haphazardly dabbed at the splatters of hair dye. I did not expect the cleaning sheet to live up to its name. Boy, was I wrong! Magic Eraser is probably the best named product I've ever used. It took the hair dye right out of my cabinets with minimal elbow grease. Naturally, I had to try out the Magic Eraser on something else to find out just how magical it actually was. Sure, it would have been smart just to Google how to use the eraser, but I had tried that for the shoes and struck out already. I was up for a little trial and error and it was nap time anyway. I spied Teddy’s Little Tikes kitchen set and Little Tikes water table. He’s been going through a really creative phase. In encouraging these artistic tendencies, crayon just seems to get everywhere…including the living room walls and on ALL of his plastic toys. OMG! The Magic Eraser did its magic on the crayon markings. While there are still hints of stubborn marks on some portions, it’s pretty much out and left his toys looking brand new. So how does it work?
Now I should probably Google what else I need to magically erase in my house…. Suggestions??
