We did buy the Bounty Advanced paper towels and the Magic Erasers. I did not purchase the Tide Pods or the Downy Unstoppables, as we are very sensitive to perfumes and fragrances as a family. (And I secretly want to slap anyone that uses too much perfume in the first place.)
Last year we bought a house and still have a lot of things that are one the 'clean and repair it' list. Our blinds in the master bathroom were kinda moldy and showing rust. I've been after my husband for months to clean those.
So we put our new cleaning products to the test. After trying out a towel or two and a cut up magic eraser, my hubby found the right combo on how to get the blinds clean. First he used a Clorox wipe on the slats. You have to have something with a cleaning solution in it to cut through the grime. A wet towel won't help much, no matter who manufactured it.
Then he used the magic eraser to follow up on the harder to scrub off dirt and stains. Here is a before picture with brown spots on the edges.
Then he used light pressure to take them off with the magic eraser. Don't scrub too hard or the finish will come off the metal slats.
Then he had a routine with the paper towels. He said after the Clorox wipe and magic eraser. He wiped down the slat with a damp towel to pick up any floating dirt, and then dried it with a dry paper towel.
After two hours of cleaning each filthy slat..they were visibly clean!
There was still some deep embedded grime on the blinds, but we didn't want the paint on the slats to scratch off like the ones in the kitchen that someone cleaned too hard. (We didn't do it!)
I use magic erasers all the time to clean deep seated dirt in just about everything. They also clean crayon off Grandma's kitchen table when a nephew felt a little artistic. The paper towels are thicker than their normal brand, and we didn't go through that many on this cleaning project. Which is a good thing!
