Pros: works well on surfaces and areas I tried it on
Cons: torn in 5 different places on the sponge and falling apart after one use
The Bottom Line: The Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad did not stand up against the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser in the end, but both do a good job.

| kparsons13's Full Review: Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad |
When all the hype came out with Mr. Clean Magic Eraser I had to pick it and buy it at Target. So many people were amazed by the product. I have used the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and was quite pleased with it. So when I was at Target the other night I picked up Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad. I wanted to see if it did a better job than Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. The Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad was also on sale for less than two dollars and I figured I wasn't losing much with buying it.
Packaging~
The Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad comes in a box with 2 disposable Cleaning Pads just like the Magic Eraser. The Size is 5.0" x 3.0" x 1.2" compared to the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser which is 4.6" x 2.4" x 1.0." The one that was larger was Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad. When you compare the measurements Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad was just a bit bigger but not by much. On the Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad there is a blue side and a white side. Each is packaged in a box.
Scotch-Brite Promises~
Try the Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad on your toughest stains and marks. This amazing cleaning pad easily erases away marks aned most-dried on messes without the need for sprays or cleaners - just use water.
My Experience~
The directions on the Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad are very easy to follow. First you want to wet it with water and then squeeze out the excess water. The second step is to start wiping down the surface you are working with. The "White side of pad gently erase away marks and stains and the blue side to wipe away any residue." (taking from package) When you are done, you can use it again after rinsing clean until the foam (white side) starts to tear or "worn away."
I decided to use it on my tile in front of my fireplace where they was alot of dirt and scuff marks. I wet the Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad and was ready to take action against the grime. It cleaned off my tiles instantly. I was very pleased to see that.
The next step was using it on my computer desk which had Sharpie Permenant Marker on it in various places. The Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad worked perfectly again with wiping down on the white side and taking the marker off. It is also noted that the Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad erases crayon but I don't have children nor a box of crayons to try that out. I do think it would work well.
The last place was my master bathroom which had scuff marks on the linoleum from my fiance's shoes. The scuff marks came right up from the floor with hardly even rubbing. I wiped down the shower as well where they were some hard water areas that I wanted to see if the Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad could do anything. Once again, it worked well.
Although the Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad worked well, I have one complaint. With barely even rubbing hard on different surfaces, the white side started to tear in 5 different places. After one use it seemed to useless after that. Comparing this to the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser I would have to say Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad did not do well. I still have the first Magic Eraser that I started with and no tearing has appeared and I have been able to use it 4 different times.

Over all Thoughts and Impressions~
Honestly I was impressed by the Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad and how well it did with the jobs I have used it on. I have also used the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on similar areas and had decent results as well. I would have to say though that the Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad came up short in the end as it was already tearing and the White side was starting to come off. I was not impressed by this. So I would give this product a 3 stars because of it didn't hold up well when cleaning with it. I know I would have to use the second one in the box rather than still getting use of the one I initially used that had already losts its' use.
Until next time,
