Magic Eraser : Great For The Hunter Of The Family By Rebecca Woodall on Oct 31, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I have found an unusual use for my Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I am an ocassional hunter and I usually go with my father. My father is more into hunting than I am and he recently started trying different face paints for hunters. I personally dont like looking like the boogy man when I go into a store when I have just come out of the woods from a hunting trip, so I took a bottle of water and a washcloth with us on one of our trips. After coming out of the woods my father was trying to remove the face paint with the water and washcloth, but he did'nt realize the paint he used was oil based, so instead of coming off it was smearing. I almost died laughing, he looked so rediculous :)!!! We had taken my truck so I started looking to see if there was anything else that would take the paint off. I had went shopping the day before and had stocked up on my usual cleaning supplies and one of my Magic Erasers had fallen out of the bag and onto the floor of my truck. I decided to see if it would work or not. so I wet it with some of the water we had brought and told my dad to try it just to see. It actually worked !!! He finished cleaning his face with the Eraser and then wiped down with the washcloth just in case there was any paint left. Since the Eraser is so soft the only face paint that was left was the areas he had put it on kind of thick, but the washcloth got those areas with no problem. I think the cleaning stuff in the Eraser penetrated the paint but the Eraster was too soft to try and scrub on skin. Either way this is a pretty cool thing I would not have tried except that it was there and their wasn't anything else to try. I'm still suprised that it actually worked!!!
