3 Ways to Clean Your Kitchen With A Magic Eraser
1. Sink Stains.
We have a white porcelain farmhouse sink. I like it for the most part, but it does stain easily.
That being said, a magic eraser removes the stains that I can’t wash off with hot water and a scrub pad.
Above you can see the coffee, food and who knows what else stain along the rim of the drain.
A little elbow grease with a magic eraser and . . .
VOILA. The entire sink looks brand new.
Here’s a shot that shows where the eraser stopped and started.

2. Countertop Stains.
Ok. Let’s talk about my Calcutta quartz counter tops.
See that stain above? That is a coffee stain.
They land in front of the coffee pot most every morning, and if they are not wiped up instantly they leave a stain.
Bottom line – don’t finish your quartz countertops with a matte finish. If you have a light countertop and finish it in matte it will stain easily.
That being said a magic eraser takes it out in a jiffy. Wetting the eraser slightly is more effective for the countertops.
VOILA.

Professional cleaner here, just a few tips and warnings
1) ALWAYS use a magic eraser wet and donโt add any cleaning product or soap. Water is all you need.
2) ALWAYS clean a food prep area after using the magic eraser, they are essentially plastic sandpaper and leave behind microscopic pieces. We get enough plastics in our foods, no need to add more.
3) be very, very, VERY careful on whatever surface you use them on but especially painted surfaces. Since they are like a sandpaper, if you rub too hard or against the grain they will mark up the surface and even remove the paint.
4) NEVER NEVER NEVER use a magic eraser on stainless steel. It will scratch.
Ohhh Patricia thank you! That’s so helpful
