Clean Stainless Steel with Magic Eraser


Gold Post Medal for All Time! 677 Posts

Clean kettleI got this terrific stainless steel whistling tea kettle at the church thrift shop yesterday for $2 (half price sale.) It was full of grease and dirt. The black handle had some white residue on it. I figured for $2 I could take a chance and see how the steel part cleaned up with a soap-filled pad. I assumed the handle would always be stained, but I could live with it.

The lady working there told me to use a Magic Eraser instead of steel wool to clean it. I use the knock-offs from the dollar store. Within 2 minutes the entire kettle, including the bottom and handle, looked like new, and I only used half of one pad.

I wish I had taken before pictures, but you can see the beautiful after results.

Well, Judy,

I just returned from a bit of shopping. I bring home the dollar store equivalent of a magic eraser. Can't wait to give it a go.

Forget the Dollar Store, buy them in bulk from eBay or Amazon. 100 costs less than $10 with free shipping. My last purchase was only $6.89. We use them for everything so they go fast. Even though some warn against using them for non-stick cookware, they work fine for me without damaging the surface. Just rub gently and carbonized grease that nothing else can get off will come off.

If you want to find out how they work, and other uses for them, do a search on their actual name, "melamine sponges."

A nice little tea kettle, Judy. I'm glad you took the lady's advice and didn't use a scouring pad. The kettle appears to have a satin finish and a scouring pad surely would have ruined it.
