Off-Brand Mr Clean Magic Eraser!! 6 for $2

Hey guys, just found some Off-brand Magic Erasers at Home Depot!



They work just as well as the MR CLEAN Magic Eraser, except for 75% less cost!!!

Works great for all interior problems, leather, dash, trim, vinyl, plastic you name it!

I bought 3 packs, I might stock up on several more.

6 for $2 down from 6 for $4.77

I found them where they keep the cleaning supplies, like the janitorial supplies with the Simple Green and the bottles. Oh you know what, it actually WASNT right with them, it was at the end of the aisle. Oh I remember now, they also had them at the checkout counter!! It was like the item of the week or something, just ask the workers for it.

Some US $ stores also carry "off brand" erasers. 3/$1. Cardboard box. Made in Germany. Can't remember which ones, though.

I have tried a few of the 'off' brand MEs. IMHO, not worth the savings. They tend to flake apart easier than the Mr. Clean. For me, the Mr. Clean last twice as long and make almost no mess compared to the others. YMMV.

Sorry to hear that kompressor, these off brands have worked wonderfully for me so far. I've actually had the problems you're describing with the Mr. Clean version. The Mr Clean tended to fall apart on me VERY easily and often.

Even if these off brands do start falling apart, considering you get 12 of them for about the the same price of 4 Mr. Cleans, I think they are totally worth it.
