The claims:
Use it all over the house--on floors, walls, doors, appliances… even outside the house on patio furniture, car interiors,
car wheels.
Best for: Grease, crayon, fingerprints, and marks on flat latex paint. Scuff marks on vinyl tile. Grease on stoves. Grime on appliance
doors. Soap scum on tiles. Rubber trim on sneakers.
But: Left slight scrub marks or changed the surface luster on some painted surfaces. The spongelike Eraser disintegrates as you
rub it. The label warns against use on finished wood, dark finishes, polished marble, granite, and glossy or satin finishes.
