I would assume you meant to say : magic eraser should be used dry.,,,,if so that is a good advice to be tried because instruction on CHUX Magic Erase does not say that ,,,,it says: Quote: Dampen a CHUX Magic Erase block with water then squeeze out excess water before use Re: Cleaning internal walls 15Mar 16, 2011 7:15 pm The magic erasers work well. Get marks off with a light rub. Only problem is they can leave streak marks on a wall - so I'm going to try a moist microfibre pad to see if I can get the streak marks out.

They leave a different shine level on the surface (very smooth and glossy), plus they don't actually remove the mark . BUT, perhaps they work their "magic" when dampened , which I didn't try. First, I'd try a damp cotton cloth with some shampoo. Second - very carefully - a dab of cream cleanser on a damp cloth. If that doens't work, I guess a touch up paint is the only way My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ... Re: Cleaning internal walls 17Mar 19, 2011 12:23 pm No, magic erasers need to be wet to work - the key is to dampen them as little as possible so that you don't leave wet run marks. The less moisture you apply to the wall the better. I put the tap on just a trickle, wet one end slightly then squeeze it out, then fold in half to wet the other end. You could probably give the eraser a light mist of water from a spray bottle if you have one. Then I wipe the wall with a damp cloth once the mark is removed to get any residue off - meaning there is no white or shiny patch. I've never had a mark I couldn't remove with a magic eraser (crayon, shoe scuff, pencil, dirt, squashed bug, etc) - they are effectively a block of stiff foam. They are a disposable, one use product, but you get about 8 in a packet.

Very useful hint Thanks for that Re: Cleaning internal walls 19Mar 21, 2011 1:12 pm I tried sugar soap the other day and was a little disappointed with the outcome.. I'm going to try Jiff tonight! I have been using Jiff on the stainless steel stove top and it is FANTASTIC! It is a little abrasive, so I hope it doesn't scratch the walls... Re: Cleaning internal walls 20Mar 21, 2011 2:32 pm if its a newely painted surface and the paint hasn't had time to fade to a different share why not just get the paint colour, a touch up roller and paint over it. In my last PPOR i had only painted it earlier but often had lots of people over so the 10m hallway was always getting marked up/scratched/etc... i just repainted it (more than once) you couldn't pick it seems easier than messing around with mild abrassives and multi step processes.
