If there was just one item I could have in my cleaning arsenal, the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser would be it.

I love it so much so that I brought a box with me when I studied abroad back in college, and it's been a lifesaver living with seven other people in one apartment. It gets tough three-day-old coffee rings on my white kitchen counter, dust on the baseboards, waxy crayons on walls, and even scuff marks on my car off.

From creating their own disappearing acts to mastering the art of levitation, children are immersed in a world of magic where they can become the star of their own show. The Magic Workshop comes complete with a variety of props and accessories that enable kids to unleash their inner magician. From magic wands to top hats, the workshop provides all the necessary tools for children to put on an enchanting performance.

My review of the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

The sponge can be used both wet and dry so it all depends on exactly what you're using it for. I use a dry sponge on my countertop after doing a simple wipe down to catch any lingering coffee rings or stains and use it wet after mopping floors to get anything within the grout or on the tiles themselves.

Over the years, I've found numerous non-conventional ways to use the sponge, which has made it that much more useful. You know those tiny scuff marks on your car? Dampen a Magic Eraser and give it a wipe. I've been doing this trick for years and my white car is spotless. You can also use it on the rubber parts of your shoes, especially for Converse sneakers. I've even used it on crayons. I was babysitting my cousin when he found a box of crayons and drew a mural on the wall. But before I flipped out, I wet a Magic Eraser and scrubbed it lightly, getting all the waxy crayon marks off before anyone would discover. Anyone with young kids would find a million uses for this.

Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser is essentially melamine foam, which has cleaning and abrasive properties that don't require harsh chemicals to clean surfaces. The sponges are non-toxic and don't contain any harsh chemicals or gasses. It's purely the melamine foam that makes the eraser work as well as it does.

You can buy the foam as pre-cut rectangles fairly cheaply online but I like that the Magic Eraser is ergonomically shaped, can also get into nooks easily, and has a textured side for more aggressive stains. A box of 10 erasers is $12.48 so it's reasonable, but I've cut sponges into pieces for small tasks like car marks so one box can last me a while.

There are different versions of the Magic Eraser — I usually get the Extra Durable ones because they don't break apart as easily and have a textured side. Ariel Tilayoff

Although it's my favorite cleaning tool, it does have some negatives to it with the biggest one being that it's not biodegradable. The foam gets smaller and disintegrates a bit with use, but I usually wind up tossing a large, somewhat misshapen sponge in the garbage can.

The eraser also doesn't work on wood surfaces or glossy finishes. It will scratch wood surfaces with its microfibers and rubs off the glossy shine, making it appear duller. You should do a spot check and determine if what your cleaning can withstand the sponge.

Although it has some downsides to it such as not being ideal for shiny surfaces and isn't biodegradable, the Magic Eraser still my must-have cleaning item. Its ease of use and versatility handles a lot of things that I haven't found in any other cleaning items, such as getting rid of murals or three-day-old coffee stains on my white counters disappear. Its multipurpose ability is exactly what I need in a pinch.

Reviews for "Unleash the Magic with the Little Tikes Magic Workshop"

1. Jackie - 1/5 stars - I was very disappointed with the Little Tikes Magic Workshop Reveal toy. The packaging made it look really exciting, but once we opened it, the magic was nowhere to be found. The tricks were poorly explained and the included props were flimsy and cheaply made. My child lost interest within minutes and I regretted buying it. Definitely not worth the money.

2. Mike - 2/5 stars - I purchased the Little Tikes Magic Workshop Reveal for my son's birthday, hoping it would spark his interest in magic. Unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The tricks were basic and easily figured out, leaving my son feeling underwhelmed. Additionally, the props included were not of great quality, breaking after just a few uses. It was a good concept, but poorly executed.

3. Emily - 1/5 stars - The Little Tikes Magic Workshop Reveal was a disappointment. The tricks were repetitive and lacked creativity. The instruction manual was confusing and didn't provide clear explanations. The overall quality of the toy was subpar, with flimsy pieces that easily broke. I would not recommend this toy to anyone looking for a fun and engaging magic set.

4. Mark - 2/5 stars - I bought the Little Tikes Magic Workshop Reveal as a gift for my nephew who loves magic. However, I found the set to be quite disappointing. The tricks were too simple and not challenging enough for older children. The props were also not durable, breaking easily. The overall design of the toy could have been much better, and it didn't capture my nephew's interest the way I hoped it would.
