Just a note: The Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are THE ones to use. There are other manufacturers out there, like 3M, but they just don’t work nearly as well, and the price difference isn’t that big, and definitely doesn’t pay.

I own a white Macbook, and the Mr Clean Magic Eraser is great at cleaning EVERY surface of the macbook. Of course, I use minimal water (almost none) and wipe dry with a second, dry mr clean magic eraser.
Oh, and when I say every surface I mean every surface. I even wipe the glossy screen with the magic eraser (same method, little water and wipe dry with a second dry eraser) DONT KNOW IF IT IS SAFE ON THE NON-GLOSSY SCREEN!
Been cleaning my Macbook for 8 months with the erasers, and so far no scratching on my screen and everything else is shiny still, except for a few scratches which obviously don’t clean out.

Was curious as to if anyone knew if the Magic Erasers are safe to use on Granite Shower Inserts (ie – wont damage the granite). Have hard water in our area and it’s very hard to clean off our shower insert…
Thanks.
