Truth in Advertising

I am so excited about the new Mr. Clean Magic Eraser! The toddler got hold of an unauthorized crayon during naptime the other day. I went in after her nap to see blue crayon everywhere. She'd done a great job, in fact, of permanently altering the color of the window frame as high up as she could reach.

I've been trying since then to get the crayon up, with limited success. If I scrub hard enough I can get about 90% of it off, but there was that last little shadow of color that just wouldn't come up. So, I bought a Magic Eraser while I was out getting the last of my Thanksgiving menu last night.

Wow, oh wow, oh wow! I love this thing! I can't believe how effective, and easy to use, it is. It took that crayon off like it had never been there, with hardly any effort on my part. I got the whole wall, and the window frame cleaned in just minutes. Then I decided to try it out in the hall on this green streak from a permanent marker. That mark has been there for years. My stepson made it when he was tiny. Nothing I have ever tried has made the slightest impression. Now it's 95% gone. There's just a little bit of green here and there and I think if I go at it again with the Magic Eraser I'll get rid of the last of it.

For once, I tried a new cleaning product and it really was as good as advertised. Wahoo!
