10. Using Magic Eraser Sponges on Stainless Steel
When you realize how well a magic eraser sponge handles a variety of surfaces, like walls, baseboards, bathroom tile, and even sneakers, it’s tempting to try and put it to work on every surface that’s annoying to clean. Stainless steel dishwashers and fridges, we’re looking at you. But Morgan Eberhard, scientific communications director, NA Home Care at Procter & Gamble, which manufactures the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, tells CR stainless steel is one of a few surfaces that a magic eraser can damage.
“Magic Eraser is not intended to be used on fabrics (including leather, suede, satin, or clothing) and should not be used on any high-gloss or polished surfaces, some metals like copper and stainless steel appliances, non-stick coating, or vehicle bodies, as it could remove some of the surface coating,” Eberhard says.
