Detailed Product Description

Magic Eraser is actually the brand name of this type of cleaning sponge made by Proctor and Gamble who produce the well-known Mr. Clean cleaning products. There are other companies that make versions of this product - all of these types of foam sponge are actually produced by BASF and called Basotect (see on this).

After first reading about the product on a few message boards, weve come to find it very useful for cleaning Pyrex in certain situations. In general, we recommend it for cleaning with some reservations. First: please note that there are situations where you DO NOT want to use Magic Eraser to clean your Pyrex and we will try go through as many of those cases here. As usual - we are not responsible if you use this product and damage your Pyrex!

Magic Eraser sponge is actually a type of Melamine foam that has microporous properties (this info is all from Wikipedias above article). The unique structure of this foam means that it feels, soft but it is actually composed of rather hard material that can clean some surfaces much better than a normal sponge. The term eraser is rather apt, since as you use it to scrub a surface, it will deteriorate as it cleans - like an pencil eraser that leaves crumbs as you go. However, it just seems to magically disappear instead of leaving shreds of material (unless cleaning a very rough surface)
