Can it remove blue tac stains?
Thanks. The magic erasers I bought said nothing about moistening them. Key knowledge I got from you!
Thanks for the feedback Boyd! Really glad I was able to help!
They are absolutely brilliant whilst trying to remove Bloodhound lick and slobber from the walls!
Super! I have also been using wet wipes for my WFM chair which stained my wall! Got these via your recommendation and it worked a treat! Thanks Charlie!
Ah, that's great news Chrissy. Thanks for letting me know.
This video has been invaluable, using this video years later. Thanks Charlie.
They're good aren't they. Thanks for the comment 👊
Thanks so much for this video I was convinced that nothing would work on my walls after my grandchildren put colored chalk on my walls I tried everything, bleach, spray, cleaner, soap, I couldn’t figure out what was going to get this off the wall. I was going to spray paint over it but I was worried how it was going to look and I saw your video and I was so happy that I did so I went to Target And I got the Magic eraser sponge it works amazing I couldn’t believe it. I was so happy I’m always going to keep them around, especially with kids. Thanks again for posting this video. You are a lifesaver. I’m definitely going to tell my children and everyone and next time I go back to Target I am going to thank the person who help me 😊
So glad to hear that Mary. It was a life saver for me too when a builder accused my team of leaving marks on the wall in a client's house we were working in. The sponge saved us from having to pay for a repaint. I think you've been lucky - your walls were obviously painted well with a few coats of good quality paint as the sponge actually removes paint so if the covering isn't sufficient you can quickly find yourself down to the plaster beneath.
Nice.. i'm a house cleaner.. i have this experience with magic sponch .. it is work like a magic
Will a magic eraser clear up scratches on plastic? I want to know so I can restore my scratched video game consoles. I heard that it works but leaves micro scratches all over the console but are not noticeable unless you look hard. Could I get some confirmation on this?
Hi can it help in removing tape sticky marks from non washable walls?
Great video Charlie, thank you
That’s really neat and really cool!!!☺️😊🙂👍
It's a great thing to have around the house Jenni. You just have to be careful not to rub too much of the paint off
Another tip I came across to extend use of sponges is cut them in half or quarters, saving money too😊
Great video!
Does it works on whitewash also non-painted walls??
What do you do with wet spots?
Works a treat 👍
Thanks for the great video :)
+Mukesh Sudhakar You're very welcome. Thanks for the feedback!
This saved my ass after I hit a baseball bAt into the sealing and it left a mark and I used this trick and I love it
Great video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
No it works thanks
Eucalyptus oil will get of anything that is sticky. I have used it on my wall and it takes off all residues. I just use paper towel to get it off.
Thanks man
You're very welcome Mukesh!
Hi there! This video was super helpful. Was wondering if the sponge removes sooty looking radiator marks (dark marks above a radiator caused by dust particles)?
I bet it would. I just removed grim from a large beanbag chair with it
But what are you going to do for your lungs? It's probably going there too...
Will it remove normal ink marks??
What about the water mark after?
Use them on enameled sinks and appliances, plastic lawn furniture, also, the soles of your shoes, or anywhere you'd be hesitant to use chemicals.
+Diane Essex That all makes perfect sense. Thanks for the tip!
Charlie DIYte does it work on paint i just need to be really sure
Magic erasers have chemicals
They have that in Home Depot?
But does it dry Because the walls looked wet
Thank you!!!!
You're welcome. Thanks for the comment.
Your video was very helpful! I cleaned some scuffs on my wall with the mixture of toothpaste, dishwasher detergent and water. The scuffs went away but left some water marks. How can I remove them? Thank you!
Have the same question too
can I use magic erasers on removing little light scratches on metal? plz reply quick!
Sure, if need contact me freely. tracyhan02@gmail.com
Yeah are good I'm a caretaker and use them cleaning walls instead of making loads of mess water over floor with buckets of chemicals and no need for rubber gloves
Barry Boyd Thanks for the thumbs up Barry!
Barry Boyd you should wear gloves though. They can cause blisters
I just used one today on my fridge after I magnet scratched it😞(hate fridge magnets) the very reason I have never had them, but this, was a picture, I caught it as I was wiping fridge down and it came with me. What a mess. Now it didn't take it all away, but looks way better than the original mess 👍
Would it work for scratches marks on vinyl dolls like Barbie etc...?
+Silver Mist I can't say for sure but there's a very good chance it will.
It works for automobiles
hi.
i just want to knw wethr hand marks will go
and can v clean old marks??
Ajin ABRAHAM CHACKO Yes, it should remove hand marks/ old marks. You've just got to remember that when you rub the wall it takes a small layer of paint off - so if you rub too hard, or if the paint isn't great quality or is thinly applied, you'll be back to the plaster underneath.
When we rub the wall if paint off what to do for it ....
It can remove pomegranate stains??????
Would this work with very sticky, near impossible blutak marks on a wall I want to repaint?
Yes but there's a worry it will take off a lot of the paint. Get some Multisolve spray from CT1. Great for removing sticky residues but again will probably take off a layer of paint. I'd spray CT1 leave it a moment then gently wipe off.
Hi Charlie, thanks so much for your response. The wall I want to paint has to be repainted anyhow. Would I be able to use the method you use in the video and then put the new paint I have for the room? Thanks in anticipation.
Does it work for non-washable painted walls?
It should do but depends on how many coats of paint the wall has, and how good the paint is. If not many coats and cheap contract emulsion you'll run the paint off if you're not careful.
Um... the boring marks already had me on Amazon with an order ready to ship!!!
can I use any types of magic erasers that I can find online? plz reply quick!
+best guy ever Hi there. I couldn't say whether all magic erasers are going to have the same properties.
Yes you can
Does this work in flat or Matt paint?
Do you have the ebay link to where you bought yours as there so many different types to buy on ebay.
Hi there. These are the ones featured in the video goo.gl/ZuzYKM Many thanks, Charlie
Thank you.
When you use the sponge with just water do u let it dry on itself or u dry it
+Frankie Gee Make sure the sponge is moist when you use it - as if it's too dry it won't work properly. The wall will be a little wet straight after, but will quickly dry so you shouldn't need to dry it.
Removing roller marks from walls after using a gloss paint
By hi
Strangely my wall now have patches. I did water the sponge, marks rubbed off but it just looks like the wall it's still wet. It's not any more but you can see where it was. Any ideas how to fix it apart from painting? Rented accommodation
didi Me Same problem here. The erasers leave a dry residue.
Thanks but using these leaves water marks on wall. How to take care of of that?
Difficult that as it always depends on the wall and the paint that's been used. You don't want the sponge to be too water logged when you use it.
I tried this on blue color wall and it removed part of the paint such that it turns into a lighter patch... Its not suppose to work on colored walls?
Yes it is but you've rubbed the paint off revealing the light base coat beneath. How much of the paint it rubs off depends a lot on the quality of the top coat and how many coats were applied.
Lol I thought every mom knew about these and used these ☺️
Not enough people know about them. Spread the word my friend!
hi! does this remove blue tack stains?
Possibly but depends on the quality and thickness of the paint as the sponge does remove the paint so if you're not careful you'll scrub through to the plaster.
would it work on marks left by blu tack?
+soph You've got more chances of removing the marks with a magic sponge than with anything else. Try it out gently with the sponge nice and damp and see if it comes off. The main problem you'll have is with rubbing the paint off - you're always going to rub some paint off, but you don't want to rub so much off that the undercoat/ plaster starts to show.
If those blu tack marks wont come off with a sponge and water it wont come off with this one either. Try eucalyptus oil.
It does the same job on paint work as you would to wash that wall. I used a cheapo sponge just with water and it works, no paint gone
Hi darling.is it work to remove pen from the wall ?
Khalid Kamil You could try. It will work if the paint is good quality and a few coats thick. If the paint is not good quality it will rub off when you use the sponge.
I have orange juice stains on the wall. Will this work out ?
I doubt it. Depends how many coats of paint were applied and what sort of quality it is.
Does it remove blue tack stains
If the stain has gone right into the paint then the only way you can remove the stain is by rubbing away the stained paint, and if the paint isn't that thick/ wasn't great quality the danger is you'll rub too much of it away, revealing the undercoat.
He looks like a slightly younger Gordon Ramsay. Got the same 'angry' eyes
His eyes aren't angry and he's helpful too
How rude.
More useful if compared to a normal sponge
There's no comparison because a normal sponge doesn't have the sandpaper like properties.
Will it remove stains?
All depends how good the paint is and how many coats there are on the wall, as it will take the paint off as you rub.
Will it work for the oily blue tack stains?
It's going to be more effective than anything else, Sara, but it all depends on the quality of the paint, as if the walls have a cheap contract matt emulsion, the danger is you'll rub it off quite quickly, but give it a go and be gentle (and make sure the sponge is moist.
Great for cleaning shoes
Is it? Just be careful not to sand off the lacquer on the shoe, as they are a bit abrasive.
How about tyre marks from a bycycle?
Yep, it would remove that but you'd have to be careful to be gentle with it as you can quickly get down to the plaster if you rub too hard or for too long.
I want my husband to behave like this :))! And clean the walls
What happens to paintwork underneath? Say blu-tack residue
Thundernerd2aBird Depends how many coats of emulsion were applied and what sort of quality the paint was. The sponge will take the paint off so if you're gentle you'll remove just enough to wipe clean the blue track residue without going through to the plaster underneath.
Why did people dislike this video ?
and pro tip, dont buy the name brand ones like mr.clean. Theyre all the exact same thing, you can even buy just big blocks of them for cheaper, but you have to cut them yourself
Thanks, I Noticed That I Took ALOT OF Paint Off The Wall
That is unfortunately a consequence 🙄
Charlie DIYte Anyway in General Thanks, It Did Take Off some bike stains
Can this erase duct tape residue ?
Try eucalyptus oil. That's how I get rid of the sticky labels on jam jars that wont come off
Marina Thompson thanks a lot for your suggestion .i have brown duct tape residue on my bed room wall. Will it leave a mark on my wall ?
+Ami Siga Thanks both for your comments. The only thing I would say to Marina is that these sponges are so cheap it really doesn't matter that they disintegrate after a few uses. In fact they are designed to disintegrate. It simply isn't a reason not to buy them. Their chemical make up makes them much more effective than standard sponges - believe you me, I speak from experience from working in the soft furnishings industry where magic sponges have removed scuff marks and the like from walls that standard sponges just wouldn't touch. I can't speak for the effectiveness of eucalyptus oil but I'm not sure I'd want to put this on a wall ... :)
I have something similar its called a bar of soap and its gone in seconds it whooo its magic
They don’t work on my walls even damp as it takes off my paint.😢
Yes there's a danger of that happening if the paint is a contract Matt and there aren't many coats on the wall.
فيلم من 30 سنة
It doesn’t work
Sorry to hear that!
No offence but crayon marks and other marks come off using a standard wet sponge.
I wonder if it works for pen marks
#PatricksDad. @#CarasSqueedgee
What is ur facebook name
They are expensive now 😡
🥺
Do not play music while you were talking thumbs down
Yes that was an error on early vids
Thank you!!!
You're very welcome!
can it get rid of hot sauce on wall ?
+jrlearns Hmmm. I suspect not if the sauce has stained the paint, but I guess it depends on how many coats of paint the wall has, and what quality it is. If it's only got one coat and the paint is cheap/ contract, chances are the sponge will just rub off the paint back to the plaster.
Quite late but how has hot sauce touched the wall
