    No one seems to have mentioned that you are essentially wet sanding with either of these sponges. Thats why it seems like magic but you can even see in the video that you dulled your wall after multiple cleanings in the same spot. If you are cleaning something that isnt hard enough to withstand the melamine foam you arent only cleaning the stuff off you are taking layers off of the thing you are cleaning and you could quickly end up sanding right through thin paint or enamel. Keep that in mind when using these

      I liked the video, but the title is a little unfair. 95% of consumers didn’t know about these sponges until Mr Clean made it known to the masses. Nothing wrong with that at all and it is a quality product. It’s not perfect because it does remove regular paint along with the undesired mark but much better than cleaning sprays I would have used previously. Let’s face it, every single good product out there is going to have a significantly cheaper off brand product that may or may not be good. In the grand scheme of things a normal person might buy $30 of these in a lifetime so it’s fair to give the people that work in these factories to make such things for us all a little love too..aka a decent wage.

    @superhawk20002 Рік тому +64

    It may only be a minimal difference, but allowing the markers (or anything that goes on wet) to dry longer will make it more difficult to remove. Both tests should have been done with the same basic time allowed between marking the surface and using the sponge, even more so with some sort of mechanism that applies the same weight to the sponge/work. Seeing how many passes it takes to clean the surface is a much better analysis.
    EDIT: Weighing the sponges would also give a good comparison. The Magic Eraser may be twice as dense (basically getting 2 sponges worth of the off brand).

    And as for the difference: Ultimately, all these products are made of melamine, which indeed works like very fine sandpaper, and so does an eraser on paper. It does attack the substrate, but only very lightly, and the paint comes off much faster than you can see any damage. However, the material needs to be foamed up so that it is flexible and can get into all the tiny crevices of any surface, and you can use a lot or a little air when foaming up. The more you use, the softer it gets and the easier it falls apart, but it also saves you material because melamine costs money, air is free.

    It seems to me that for most things you'd want the offbrand ones but for really tough stuff like getting things off concrete then you should probably get the Mr. Clean ones for durability.
    Good review though, this is definitely helpful to keep in mind for future cleaning.

    I have a head that goes into a drill and holds a magic eraser material. You need to get one of those and let the drill do the work for you. I believe it was ryobi brand, I got it at home depot in the cleaning section. Once you wear out the pads that it comes with, you can just use the head's Velcro to hold and spin actual magic erasers

    I think this just makes the choice to buy the magic eraser more clear, just a little easier to use, less elbow grease needed, and one sponge lasts longer. The fact that the other is falling apart so fast makes it quite an easy no for me unless I planned on using it once and disposing it.

    I think the off-brand one was working less and less easily on the wall because you scrubbed off the smooth top layer of the paint and the surface was getting rougher and harder to clean. When you used it for the first time on the floor and door after that it worked perfectly again.

    FYI, you were not comparing like for like. Magic Erasures come in like 5 different kinds and you have #2 which is for more caked on grime, hence the dense foam and texture. The original Mr. Clean Magic Erasures look identical to the ones you got on the cheap. They are rectangle and smooth. Thats the box I got. If you look on the back of your box it should have a chart showing which erasure is good for what thing.
    I have had the same original pkg of original ones for a long time now but thats bc my husband learned how to clean from his grandma. If your nostrils are not burning due to bleach and pine sol, it is not clean. Gives me a migraine. Ugh!
