My experience with them is not good and they always fell apart for me. It doesn't remove a thing off my walls without removing the paint. Anything it gets off I can get off with a damp cloth.

I bought my first M.E a while ago, and while my experience was they did a real good job cleaning my walls, (spot cleaning) I noticed they did crumble. I will keep one or two on hand, though.

Oh, I thought it was just me.
I bought one a few weeks ago, and cleaned the sink. It all crumbled apart and I thought it was a waste. It sure doesn't do what it looks like it *should* do on the commercials.....gets tossed to several people to clean different items, including tire rims. Not a crumble to be seen.

I must have gotten a good batch. I cleaned just about everything in my kitchen including the fronts of appliances and cabinet fronts. Even the back door. Then I cleaned the washer and dryer and outside refrigerator. I'm still using that one for the garage, but it looks really yucky. I just bought one made for bathroom tile. Hope it works as good.

Whoever posted about them a month or more ago, I thank you again!!

I had the same experience recently cleaning athletic shoes, it just crumbled. Shoes looked a little better, but the sponge was in shreds pretty quick.

Could be a chemical reaction. Maybe whatever clean shoes conflict with what is in the magic eraser.

"They" always change the good stuff by cheapening the way it's made. Happens to restaurants and everything else, it seems. Just when I think I've found something I like, "they" change it.

Yes, mine is falling to pieces. They just can't leave anything alone!

I bought a ME bathroom cleaner and was just amazed at how quickly it cleaned my tub and sink. The porcelain and chrome really sparkle.

Yes, mine fall apart in a short time. Maybe the company is trying to make them with cheaper materials to save money? I have one left that hasn't been used, and I don't think I'll buy any more of them. Also, in my experience they're much more abrasive than the label sounds like. I saw a generic brand in the $1 store, I might try them if I find something I think it'll be ok to use them on.

I cut mine into smaller chunks. It doesn't all crumble at once then.

Mine always crumbled the way I used them before- after wetting them. On Sunday I used two of them dry, for a very dirty job, and I didn't wet them first. They cleaned very well, and didn't crumble until I tried to rinse them out.

I was going to mention what susan did... I think the wetness of the sponge can matter. I find sometimes they crumble and sometimes they don't. I think just a little moisture tends to work the best and leave less crumbling.

I have good experience with the dollar store ones too although half of the sponge (in blue) is a regular sponge and not the Magic sponge material.
