Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

[mr.bbq]

I definately agree with your assessment, it is the only thing i will use during
spring cleanup now!! although I wouldn't want it in the pool store cause they would quadruple the price! HA!

They're so good, I used one to erase that anoying neighbour!

Would this work on the walls of a plaster or gunite pool??

Please say yes.

Don't see why not, but the rough gunite mite shread it quite quickly. They are designed to clean stains off of drywall in your house, so it should work on any surface.

[medfordman]

That sounds like a yes to me.

I'll try it out this weekend.

They make a special eraser for plaster pools. I have had one for some time and it works pretty well even on rust stains.

Any idea as to what it is called? Where I can get it?

Leslie's Pools has a brick (looks like a gray brick) but it hasn't been helpful.

Gotta try that

Works excellent on liner as well as skimmer box and step rail!

There is a caution on the Mr. Clean website not to use the Magic Eraser with chlorine bleach. The MSDS
http://www.pgbrands.com/pages/cleane...UK0DQFIAJ1E2UQ lists the indgredient it is made from as Formaldehyde-Melamine-Sodium Bisulfite Copolymer.
Not sure what this might do in a pool. It also says to keep it away from oxidizing materials (such as chlorine?)

Also this link has some intersting info on how it works...seems it is simply an abrasive and can actually scratch surfaces.

Just for your info.

Very good info!
I just got off of the phone with P&G. I spoke with Erica in the home care division. I explained my concerns in regard to the chlorine in the pool. She stated that chlorine bleach caused the sponge to break down at "excessive rates" and they do not recommend using it with chlorine bleach for that reason. Erica also stated that they have not tested it for use in a swimming pool but would pass on the information. I asked if chlorine had anything to do with the hazardous decomposition of the sponge. Her response was that it only listed that chlorine would cause the sponge to deteriorate quickly.
I would like an opinion from a Chemist though
