I HATE cleaning bathrooms with a passion, so much so that I've avoided "cleaning" the bathtub for 3+ years. But, after some nagging from the spouse, I bit the bullet and took the plunge earlier tonight.
In the past I've used numerous home remedies (backing soda/vinegar), Method, Comet, and even the Mr. Clean Regular Magic Erasers to no avail. However, after some browsing on Amazon of best sellers and reading other reviews, I decided I'd give it a shot. Here's what I found:
NEGATIVES
#1: It's not an easy wipe.
Let's be clear. If you have soap scum, mildew, mold, and who knows what else that's been lingering there for any pro-longed period of time, the eraser is NOT going to work like in the product video, i.e., you're going to need to scrub and add some elbow grease. A small"ish" type shower/tub combo took me 2 hours of solid scrubbing.
#2: It can take more than 1.
These things aren't made to last forever. I went through 3 erasers while cleaning my bathtub, and yes, they do dissolve quicker/faster depending on the type of surface that you're scrubbing. The rougher the surface, the faster it'll be. I went through the first eraser in about 20 minutes while scrubbing soap scum and grout, but the third eraser lasted a little less than an hour.
#3: The smell can get annoying.
For me, the first eraser was fine, but after the second and third, I had to ventilate the bathroom. While it's not off-putting, it's definitely not as appealing as others products that I've used, Method Grapefruit comes to mind.
#4: It costs more than twice the price of the regular erasers.
POSITIVES
IT WORKS. My bathtub has never looked better, expect maybe when I first purchased it. The soap scum and mildew actually came off. There's still some mildew stains underneath the grout and water spots that couldn't be removed (see the after picture), but it otherwise looks FANTASTIC. The tub is smooth, the pink mildew is gone, and I don't feel squeamish about taking a shower.
Would I use the Magic Clean Bath Erasers again? DEFINITELY. While cleaning the tub still isn't on my list of favorite things to do on a Saturday night, there was something oddly gratifying about watching your handiwork and seeing years of grime be scrubbed away. (And also a little disgust at how things could have ever gotten so bad....)
PS - If you've never used these before, make sure to "activate" the eraser, i.e., run the eraser under water, and then press down on the two light yellow spots to the sides of the eraser if it's laying flat (you'll feel a slight pop). There's a good photo on how to do this in the customer images. I'd also recommend using gloves. I used sterile surgical gloves and after about 30 minutes or so, whatever is in the erasers started discoloring them.
