Can You Use Magic Eraser On
Shower Tile?
Wondering the best way to clean the shower tile in your bathroom? A
magic eraser can help you do this.
What Is In Magic Erasers
That Makes Them Work So Well?
Melamine is the active basic in Magic Erasers. It\'s a type of hard
plastic, and when it is made into foam a fine excellent cleaning
power surface is created. The foam is made of super-fine fibers
that lift and trap dirt and rub out marks. These thin, glass-like
fibers are abrasive, so a magic cleaning eraser can be thought of
as a cross between a sponge and fine sandpaper.
Does Magic Cleaning Eraser
Work On Porcelain? Will It Scratch Tile?
Many homeowners ask if Topeco Clean magic cleaning erasers can be
used on porcelain or if they will damage the ceramic tile. The good
news is that they can be safely used on ceramic tiles and
porcelain, so you have nothing to worry about if you plan on using
them this way.
Tiles are one of those things that you either love or hate. Many
love how they look, the added color they can bring to a space, and
so on.
But, we all know that cleaning the grout between the tiles can be a
royal pain in the butt.
Hate cleaning but love a clean house. Cleaning the shower is often
a very time-intensive activity, especially if you have tiny tiles
and lots of them.
In our current apartment, we are blessed to have large tiles and
only in our bathroom showers. But, like most tiles and dirt, it\'s
gotten yellow, dirty, and even moldy in a few spots.
Be it that we newly cleaned up mold from our shower caulking, the
grout was still an eyesore as well. (Check out my black mold-in
showers post if you have mold in the grout, walls, drains,
ceilings, or shower curtains.)
I searched around looking for some easy and effective ways to clean
shower tile and tried a few out in my bathroom.
We can clean a lot of places besides using a household magic eraser
to clean the shower tile. But there are some areas we need to pay
attention to when cleaning.
