Heh... With the Magic Eraser, I might have given up too soon... I found that
it wore out real fast and I was stubbing my fingers with it while trying to
clean. The SOS pad, OTOH, makes my hands break out with a reaction because
of the steel and the soap crud on it, but it was cheap - pay the same price
almost for a whole box of SOS pads as you do for 1 Magic Eraser - and it was
fast.
I was hoping it didn't scratch the crap out of the furniture, and it doesn't
seem to have done that, not that it would really matter much to me for old,
basic patio chairs!
I have not tried the Magic Eraser on outdoor toys - the sandbox could use a
good cleaning, come to think of it... I found the Magic Eraser does work
wonders on wall and floor scuffs... I went nuts with one at my parents'
place when I noticed their walls and floor in the kitchen had scuff marks
all over because of my little brother's hockey bag, which he's fairly clumsy
and inconsiderate with ;) (he's also 17 years old lol) and my mom had tried
almost everything to get those scuffs off, yet the Magic Eraser worked like
a charm.
