Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on vinyl pool liner
I opened my above ground pool last weekend and was faced with the
annual problem of cleaning the stain that forms just above the water line. Just for kicks, I grabbed a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I was astounded! Damn near close to zero effort and the stain was gone! I don't know what's in this thing but it's a miracle! Which brings me to my question. What, exactly, is in this thing? Is it safe for my vinyl pool liner? (I know -- I should have asked before I used it). Assuming it's compatible with vinyl, I'd strongly recommend it for this purpose. |

It seems to me to be a physical method of removal based on a microfiber or polymer foam of some sort, acting somewhat like sandpaper, but needing water to increase the contact with the item to be cleaned. I'm guessing. : It's amazing stuff though. Sue(tm) Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself! |

I was close : http://tinyurl.com/7d6lp It's made from BASF's melamine resin foam Basotect® (BASF is a chemical company). It works to remove dirt because, strangely enough, microscopically it's very hard. So don't use it on anything that may be scratched (although it cleaned my chrome teapot and it stayed shiny), or that has a varnish that will wear away. Sue(tm) Lead me not into temptation...

Do you think it might work on getting stains off a brick fireplace?
