Mr. Clean eraser is incredible. What won't it do? My husband was cleaning his boat (fiberglass hull) and it had scuff marks along the sides and on the floor. He tried brush and soap, a nylon scrubbie and was planning to get steel wool when I stopped him and told him to use my Mr. Clean eraser. He scoffed and said these marks were so stubborn that a "sponge" will do nothing. I insisted he try it and they were EASILY removed! It took him just a minute or two remove all the scuffs, and he had been laboring for nearly an hour with the other items. He was amazed! I have several on hand at all times for shower doors, scuff marks on floors, baseboards and walls. I also used it to remove specks of dried paint from woodwork. Use a light hand though, because it will remove the finish if you are over zealous.

FYI all of you nail polish remover users: nail polish remover is usually acetone. See Brickeye's list. It is highly flammable. So unplug and douse the pilot lights with it, too. The other thing to remember is that all of these highly volatile organic compounds are not good for you to breathe. They can be irritants, or worse. From Wikipedia: "Acetone is believed to exhibit only slight toxicity in normal use, and there is no strong evidence of chronic health effects if basic precautions are followed.[20] At very high vapor concentrations, acetone is irritating and, like many other solvents, may depress the central nervous system. It is also a severe irritant on contact with eyes, and a potential pulmonary aspiration risk." So pull your head out of the dryer for a breath of fresh air, every so often! I agree with Jeremy! Norten's use of a vacuum - even a shop vac, which I assume he used, though he did not specify - was very dangerous. I did a search on his name of his "method" to see if this was a prank that he had perpetuated elsewhere on the web. No hits. He is just dangerously incompetent, not truly evil.

Here are a few pictures of my "command center." This is the mudroom/office/pantry/garage hallway... it connects the garage with the kitchen/rest of the house. I did an upclose picture of one of the smaller frames - I printed out a "dinner menu" template and put it in the frame... the vis-a-vis markers have a fine point. The dry erase markers were too clunky. (my other framed areas are a to-do list and a general idea for a bi-weekly schedule... clip area for receipts and a yellow pad clipped for shopping list.... the bulletin board area for kid info (schedules etc)... I also have a wall bin underneath for each of the kids...) I've had this area in use for a few years - but about a month ago I thought it was looking too cluttery, so I cleaned it up with the black frames and the green contact paper from Target. The large green area on the right of the bulletin board WAS a whiteboard that would no longer clean. hope this helps.

No jasdip, it erases the ink -- it disappears -- exactly like using an eraser on a pencil. You don't heat it. Just rubbing the end of the pen over the ink creates friction which is enough heat to make the ink disappear. Once erased it stays that way. It behaves just like a pencil and eraser. But the technology is different. Unlike a pencil eraser which rubs off the lead, the ink is still there, but invisible. Cooling the ink will make it come back -- but why would I put the puzzle in the freezer? The benefit for crosswords is that the ink is much darker and easier to see. I always used special soft leaded pencils to do puzzles, but they were still not very dark. If too dark, they became hard to erase. This pen provides the benefit of both dark clarity and erasability.
