Use a magic eraser to clean those greasy splatters off of appliances.
Then buff with a microfiber cloth.

I am positively pleased with the results of the Magic Eraser. It is magic indeed. I had tried several things to get those splatters off, including Dawn dish washing liquid, vinegar, baking soda, and even rubbing alcohol. None of them did the job. Well, the rubbing alcohol came close. It worked but required too much scrubbing effort.
Thanks to several of you, my dear readers, I tried the Magic Eraser. I am floored by how well it worked!! After getting it wet, I started scrubbing and voila! The grease disappeared. I then used a microfiber cloth to wipe clean and now my oven top and microwave are sparkling.
I will be on the lookout for other things to take that eraser to. Have you had success with this product? I would love to hear what it has cleaned for you.

Hey Kim, Do you know if this works on a painted wall? Sometimes I have grease splatters on the wall behind my stove, and I didn’t know if it would work there, too.
I guess it never dawned on me to use the magic eraser, but I do have one in my cleaning supplies. Thanks for posting this one!
Hey! Yes, it will also work on your wall, but it has been my experience that if you scrub too hard it takes the paint off. So be careful! :)
I love Magic Erasers! If you have a white cast iron sink, it cleans it up wonderfully. Also, if you have white tennis shoes that are not white any more, a little water and your magic eraser will make them look brand new again.
I would also advise against using it on the wall. I have dark colors on my walls and the smallest amount of scrubbing will lighten the color.
Do you realize that these are filled with formaldehyde?
According to Snopes.com there is no formaldehyde in this product and it poses no health or safety risks when used according to directions.

BeCr8tiv, thanks for the tip on tennis shoes, I am going to try that out!
To cut through grease in my microwave and on my stove top I use a spray of 50/50 water and vinegar…I spray it on and leave it sit while I load the dishwasher after a meal and then wipe down with a warm wash cloth and it comes off every time with no scrubbing at all…Love the 50/50!
Be careful with cleaning appliances. It can remove the paint on those also. The Magic Eraser is a very very fine sandpaper. I have also found that it really messes up my fingernails.
Love Magic Erasers! We’ve even used them to clean rust spots (from rusty water drip in parking garage)off the roof of my husband’s truck!
Try using your favorite liquid dish soap and a magic eraser to clean glass shower doors…it’s amazing!
It took grime off of my stair handrails. . It’ll take stain marks off of my kitchen counters but I needed to test spot an area before because it dulled the finish.
Oh my goodness, I love them for grease, too! Thanks so much for stopping by, I’m thrilled to know about your blog!!! I’m your newest follower! XO, Aimee
I have used them to remove permanent marker from laminate bookshelves, kool-aid stains from counter tops, and crayon from table tops. Plus the finger prints off doorways and handrails. I LOVE them!
I love it for the handle on the fridge as well as the ring around the tub. It takes Crayon off of walls too.
Do you need to rinse after cleaning with Magic Eraser?
Do you need to rinse after using magic eraser?
If I remember correctly, I just wiped the appliances with a cloth afterwards. But it certainly wouldn’t hurt to rinse!
Be careful when you are scrubbing the number pad on the microwave. The magic eraser scratched the surface :(
I used the Magic Eraser on my baseboards and they looked brand new! Also, they are really good for stove tops.
I do machine embroidery and have found that a dry magic eraser erases the chalk markings that I put on an item for placement of a design.
Works great on tire rims
I used it on the grout in the bathroom had to scrub a bit but voila looked like a new floor !!
