The wonder cleaning product you probably aren’t using… and 20 reasons you should

Got a bench full of scratches that won’t come out? Scuff marks on your skirting? Stubborn dirt and grime? Here’s a cleaning tool that will fix these problems and 17 other things.

They can replace several cleaning products in your home and the best part? There’s super cheap and only need water to work.

What are we talking about? Melamine magic erasers of course!

Melamine sponges are made of melamine foam, which is made up of formaldehyde-melamine-sodium bisulfite copolymer. Basically, this means that while the sponges feel like normal sponges, they are actually like an ultra-fine sandpaper, getting into tiny grooves of the object you’re cleaning. They aren’t harsh either, and replace sprays, tonics, toxic cleaners and a host of other chemical cleaners.

Here’s 20 ways to get the best use out of them:

  1. Remove tarnish from silver
  2. Remove soap scum in the tub and shower
  3. Remove marks on walls
  4. Remove adhesive residue
