Thank you, Mr. Clean!

If you own vintage stuff, or heck, ever get stuff that's just a pain to get clean, you have to get Mr. Clean magic erasers! I'm not sure if product shout-outs is anti-blog etiquette, but this has to be an exception! If you've never tried it before you must! I get a lot of vintage stuff, often plastic, which has stains and deep grime/wear that never seems to come out! Someone recommend the magic erasers to me, and I fell in love! You just sit there scrubbin', and it's like magic! I mean you do have to scrub, but almost anything will come out! Marker, grime, build up...the list goes on!

I will go on to say my experience has been mostly on plastics and some furniture, but it's worked good on everything so far! I will say do not use it on any metal painted surface, or -especially-easy-to-forget- on decals that may be on vintage plastic things. Mr. Clean will clean...right through them! As I discovered in a fluster early on while scrubbing a decal on the front of a vintage-ish (thankfully not precious) blender.

My TV recently had some alone time with Mr. Clean, and the results were awesome! Note the "before" was AFTER going over the entire TV with a wet rag. The after is only that one part, but just look at the difference! Like a breath of fresh air...



So yea, I'm doin' a bit of product placement, but I promise it's worth it! And to start your morning off with a contagious jingle that won't get out of your head, here's the original 1958 Mr. Clean commerical!
(I love it, though I'm not sure I'd Mr. Clean my dog...!)
