Any one figured out how to keep them from shredding so quickly? They work great but if they are not going to last long they aren't worth it. Hmmm.......

It's not a sponge, its made of the cleaner - kind of. So it disappears as you use it, nature of the beast. Amazing product and still worth it icon_smile.gif

I use the Target brand. Exact same product, cheaper price. They still shred though icon_rolleyes.gif

I save them for things that other cleaners won't get up, mostly marks on the walls and trim. They're too expensive to use for everyday cleaning.

LOL, I do what the others do to combat the shredding: Buy generic ones icon_biggrin.gif. And I also do what prterrell does, which is only use when absolutely needed. LOVE those things. I saved us hundreds of dollars on repainting fees when moving out of a rental home, by simply Magic Erasering all of the scuff marks off of the walls.

I love them for trim too! It takes half the time to do the trim!

Haha, I know the feeling. Most of the time they sit in my cabinet. Last time I used them was when I was moving out of a place. Unless I am moving out of a place, most of those scuffs just become invisible over time...I mean...invisible to ME. icon_redface.gif

My friend learned the hard way that you're not supposed to wash out paintbrushes in your bathtub -- but she was able to get her primer-covered bathtub clean with a Magic Eraser. Those things are great!

I sort of scraped my car against a telephone pole when I had parked on the street, so I had this combo of paint/ telephone pole gunk on my car. I got a quote from the car place which was about $1700 to repair! Hayell NO!!! I got a magic eraser and some window cleaner and buffed it out in about 20 mins (i used the entire thing). There's still a small dent..but not anything where I need to pay money to get it repaired. I took pics too of the before/ after because I was going to write them a testimonial. Never got around to it though.

Works great on spats, too- for those of us with band kids. The next step if that doesn't work is nail polish remover from what my daughter tells me; so it must work pretty darn good.
