Magic Eraser On Your Car

Cars are constructed using many different materials. While some you can clean using a magic sponge block, others you cannot. Let's look at some of the materials in a car that you safely clean with a magic eraser, and what you can't.

Cup Holders

Cup holders are one area in a car that you can remove very well if you use a magic eraser. Take your magic eraser and wet it thoroughly. Secondly, gently wipe the inside of your cup holders. You may need to rinse off your magic eraser partway through cleaning if your cup holders are very dirty. Be sure not to wipe your cup holders too hard. Magic eraser acts like very excellent sandpaper. So, over-scrubbing can leave scuff marks on your cup holders.

Dashboard

To clean your dashboard with Mr. Topeco's magic eraser, wet your magic eraser and begin scrubbing in small circular motions. It would be best to clean from back to front to keep any grime from ending up brushed to parts of the dash you've already cleaned. Keep the abrasive nature of the magic eraser in mind while cleaning your dashboard. If you scrub any area too much, you might strip the top layers of your dashboard, leaving dull spots.

Hard Upholstery

On the insides of your vehicle's doors and lower parts of your seats, you likely will find hard plastic upholstery. You can effectively clean this hard upholstery with a handy magic eraser. First, wet your magic eraser. Next, wipe the areas of hard upholstery in small circular motions from top to bottom. Just as before, be sure to wipe each area gently and only enough to wipe dirt and grime.

Scrubbing the hard plastic upholstery too much can scrape away the top layers of plastic and leave a dull finish where there should be a shiny finish.

Windshield

A magic eraser effectively cleans windshields without damaging them. The reason a magic eraser can't damage your windshield is that glass is harder than a magic eraser. So, it can't wear down.
To clean the windshield, wet your magic eraser and begin scrubbing from top to bottom. If there are many bugs and grime stuck to your windshield, then you should periodically rinse off your magic eraser with water. Keep scrubbing until all the bugs and debris are removed from the windshield. Since the magic eraser can't damage the windshield no matter how much you scrub, you don't have to be gentle in removing the grime.

While the Topeco Clean magic cleaning sponge can effectively be used for some areas of your vehicle, others shouldn't get cleaned with one. our company has got international quality recognition like SGS, MSDS, and CRS.
