Do you like using Magic Erasers to clean? Are you aware they are simply melamine sponges?
How they work
“Rubbing with a slightly moistened foam may remove otherwise “uncleanable” external markings from surfaces. For example, it can remove crayon, magic marker, and grease from painted walls, wood finishings, plastic-adhering paints from treated wooden tables, adhesive residue, and grime from hub caps.[3] If the surface being cleaned is not sufficiently hard, it may be finely scratched by the melamine material. The foam wears away, rather like a pencil eraser, leaving behind a slight residue which can be rinsed off.” ~source Wikipedia
Buying bulk quantities
You may have known how they work, but did you know they can be purchased in bulk at significantly lower prices? Since these mighty little sponges wear out fairly quickly, more and cheaper is a lot better than less and expensive.
I’ve found them both on Amazon and Ebay. But watch out for small size sponges — some of them are tiny and you won’t be happy when your package arrives. I purchased 30 from Ebay for $7.65 and shipping was free and they are about the size of a Magic Eraser but missing the pretty logo on the top. Who cares about a logo.
Here’s a sampling of the prices I just found online with my purchase on the bottom line. The each price is a significant savings. Which price would you like to pay?
