Holy crap! Magic is right!
I had seen these things at the grocery store in the cleaning aisle for a couple of years, but decided to pick up a box 'cause it was my turn to clean the bathroom this week.
Once home, I was very unimpressed as I opened the box. Just a couple of hard white sponges that felt like the stuff you cram fake trees into on model railroad sets.
OMG, was I wrong. The tub in the apartment we live in looked pretty clean as I started, but with the first couple of swipes it was apparent that I didn't know what clean was. Even the waterspots on the spigot: gone!
Then it was off to the garage to try it on the leather steering wheel I had been avoiding cleaning. In the past, it took half an hour with a toothbrush and special purpose leather cleaner to get the build-up of a thousand spilled cafe mochas off of the wheel. With the Magic Eraser, about 2 minutes.
Turns out its based on a BASF product made for soundproofing and fire-retardation.
"On curing, melamine resin becomes almost as hard as glass", explains Dr. Christof Möck, responsible at BASF for the global business management of this special foam. "The hardness of this material is one of the secrets of its cleaning talent: like extremely fine sandpaper, the foam eraser rubs the particles of dirt from the surface."
All I can say is you have to give it a try to see for yourself.
