Melamine Sponge Vs Magic
Eraser
A Melamine sponge certainly is equal to a magic eraser. The
difference between those is just the name. If you\'ve ever had a
tight cleaning job you may have turned to Mr. Clean Magic Erasers.
This might blow your mind but Mr. Clean Magic Erasers and generic
melamine foam don\'t have a chemical cleaner or soap inside them,
it\'s just an abrasive foam that makes them work. You get the kind
that specifically comes with soap in it.
I tested the original magic sponge next to magic erasers on each of
the cleaning tasks mentioned below, and the answer is... YES! I
still buy Topeco Clean Magic Erasers whenever I find them on sale —
because a good deal is a good deal. Magic Erasers are made from
melamine foam, using a compound called formaldehyde-melamine-sodium
bisulfite copolymer. In addition to being an excellent stain
removal option for the otherwise uncleanable, melamine foam has a
variety of other applications including:
1. Sound insulation (improve acoustics and lessen outside
noises)
2. Temperature insulation (protect against hot or cold
temperatures)
Melamine foam is made of a mix of hard and soft structures,
hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen, which combine to combat stains
without harming the surface underneath. Melamine foam has been
manufactured since the late *0th century and it was discovered in
the early *1st century to be an effective cleaning tool. In
addition, these are premium quality cleaning products on

How Do Magic Sponge or Magic Erasers Work?
Magic melamine sponge only needs water to efficiently wash up most
stains—no chemicals or soaps are necessary. On the outside, they
look, act, and feel like most other sponges, but thats where the
similarities end. Melamine foam is a porous material, which acts
something like very fine sandpaper to gently remove stains. Though
it feels soft on the outside, each eraser is uniquely abrasive and
uses small air pockets in the material to lift stains when
damp.
However, one downside is that Magic Erasers do wear down quickly as
they are so porous, so, if you have a lot of projects to cope with,
you may want to find a few boxes. This is because the delicate
sponge-like cell structure loosens the dirt and grabs the grime
simultaneously, breaking down the material.
Are Magic Sponges Or Magic Erasers Safe?
In conclusion, yes. While the compound material mentioned above
does involve the word formaldehyde, its part of a chemical name.
Formaldehyde itself is not an actual ingredient in the sponges.
Magic Sponges in TOPECO CLEAN are non-toxic and safe for household
use. They are abrasive, whereas, so you dont want to rub them
against your skin or let your kids get a hold of them.
Concerning the actual material and its impact on the environment,
some studies have identified the particles that get washed down the
sink as a potential addition to the microplastic scourge in
waterways, but this is still largely unclear. Magic sponge cleaning
pads are not biodegradable, but they are a safer alternative to
potentially toxic cleaning supplies.
