A Magic Eraser is a foam-like cleaning pad that works like very fine sandpaper to scrape away dirt from surfaces. It can potentially scratch up surfaces if rubbed too hard (a few of my ponies now have faint marks) but it can really get off ingrained dirt if you're careful. People with more experience might be able to offer better advice, but I had great results with the dirt on BB Half Note (it did nothing for scuff or pen marks on my other ponies, though.)

Thanks! ;)

I wanted to try it in my G3 Star Cathcer, the one with fabric wings. He is cream instead of white, I bought it months ago, I think that he was in a smoke house  :huh:

But I see now that maybe the magc eraser isn´t for that..

This thread inspired me to have a SPA DAY!!! I wish I had gotten before pix :)

What is Plastic Boost and where do I get it? Some of my gals have ink on them in places and I want to get it off of them :D

Yes! I agree I think people need to talk about the experiences they have had with using different styles of cleaning, and the out come.  Magic erasers can be an iffy cleaning tactic.

Plastic Booster is a product from Cascade that was created to remove tomato stains from plastic containers, spatulas, etc.  I found it works on ink stains on ponies as well.  Having said that, I am not quite sure they make it anymore.  I haven't lived in the States for eight years now, and I am on my last tube that a family member sent me a little while ago.  BUT... I just read that the active ingredient is benzoyl peroxide, which is in some medicated acne creams.  And, now that I think about it, that is one of the products I used to read about here on the Arena for removing ink stains. 

Oh, and thankfully... there doesn't appear to be any bleach in the stuff. :whew:

I really would love to try the magic erasers in one of my ponies. But I´m from Argentina, and here that brand doesn´t exist.... I searched the erasers in google... Are they used to clean bathrooms? I thought that the magic erasers were used for pencil drawings, etc  :lol: :blush:

I'd like to point out that there are numerous off-brand Magic Eraser products, too, and that they're cheaper but they're the exact same thing.

Also, Magic Eraser = melamine sponge, which I've also seen listed before.

It works basically like scouring powder, only somewhat more gentle, and doesn't require soap to work, only water.  It's not for delicate products at all, but I haven't had any problems with it on vinyl!

Magic eraser is essentially a fine sand paper in many ways yes.

lochness, honestly do not let water get into a pony if the washer is in place. The metal in the washer and grip is not treated and will corrode; it only need to get damp not even wet for oxidisation to start and for rust to form. 
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

I have never had an issues with Magic Erasers what so ever & that's all I use to clean my ponies with. It takes off pen marks, dirt, mold, whatever nasty crap that people send their ponies to goodwill with. LOL None of my ponies have any scuff marks on them & I scrub hard on some of them. I should take before & after pictures, but I just got my camera stolen this weekend so that won't be happening anytime soon :(

Benzoyl peroxide isn't really bleach but it does, ironically, behave just like it on fabric and plastics. And much to my chagrin, human hair. :x

I know at least in the states you can tubes of 10% benzoyl peroxide cream over-the-counter. Actually, I have some lying around that I'm not using for my acne anymore so I might dig up a grungy pony and experiment. :)
