Actual cleaning with products that require interaction? Haven't tried that.

I think I have bleach so I will try that first. Magic Eraser next. After I Google it.

Why the angst, MG?

Just one of "those" days, I think. Too much to do, not enough time, no one to help and I can't work OT today. I have a lovely iron treatment right after work. Then homework. Then it is time to play "which bills have to get paid and which can wait" game. Nevermind worrying bout the legal stuff for C.

I think I'm just feeling the weight of the world right now. Not that I'm the only one, it just got too heavy for a bit.

The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is almighty. I put it right up there in my pantheon of great inventions alongside pay-at-the-pump gas pumps, coffeemakers with timers, and air conditioning.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{MG}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} I think you need ice cream in between your iron treatment and homework. It won't solve all your problems, but you need a treat.

Cass, if I may be pushy for a moment... TRY THE MAGIC ERASER FIRST! Ahem.

I think the full name is Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and that obnoxious genie guy is on the box it comes in. It's well priced and can be found in the same aisle as all the other household cleaners. Not only does it work, it rocks and I'm soooo not kidding or over-exaggerating. Grease on the stove top? Magic Eraser gets it off. Scuff marks on your floor? Magic Eraser. Dirty walls? Magic Eraser. Soap scum? You get the point.

Chemicals tend to give me headaches and this magic sponge thingy doesn't have any chemicals in it. It just works. Like magic.

ETA: See? Steph knows!

And also, {{{MG}}}

If I hadn't just finished my period, I'd say I'm PMS'ing. I have that emotionally raw feeling - which is not condusive to being productive.

Fire bad. Tree Pretty.

Magic Eraser also great at removing cat grease! You know, that stuff they leave on, say, the corner of the refrigerator that they rub their head on all the time.

...

Pets are gross.

Cindy, I hope your friend's kid gets through things ok.

I will join in the Magic Eraser chorus, because it is truely amazing. You know those scuff marks black-soled shoes leave on walls if you kick off your shoes a little too hard? Oh, say, 200-300 times? It took that off my wall in under two minutes.

I haven't tried it on the tub yet--the scubbing bubbles stuff has pretty much taken care of that.

I'm going to use Scrubbing Bubbles for the first time in my life tomorrow. Is there anything I should know?

The Magic Eraser is indeed magic. Non-washable crayons on your mother's walls? Comes off. I've, uh, tried it, thanks to a certain toddler.

The only thing I will say is that while it doesn't smell and give me that chemical headache, it does make my hands feel really dry and kind of weird afterward. So either wear gloves or prepare to wash and moisturize right after you use the thing.

Or, you know, it could just be my delicate flower hands.

the corner of the refrigerator that they rub their head on all the time.

Lucy, our dog, used to do this in our front hall, where she always slept. There was always a big spot on the wall that was just...gross.
