Using a Dry Magic Eraser?

Has anyone tried to use a Magic Eraser without getting it wet? What did you use it on? What were the results?
Thanks.

i believe the chemistry behind the Magic Eraser is the reason it works better if slightly wet. That said, it can be used dry for the same types of cleaning but does a better job if is wet.
Here is an excerpt from a chemistry site:

Procter & Gamble says the key to the Magic Erasers stain-fighting properties is in its water-activated microscrubbers. But theres nothing water-activated about itthe eraser can be used dry as well as wet, with little difference in the result.

Water likely makes it easier for dirt to cling to the eraser, thoughthe same way you might wet a paper towel before wiping down a wall or table.

Here is a link if you are interested in reading the article.

The directions on the Magic Eraser website specifically say to use water:

You just get all the ink off clean with water.. Not using it smudges it around a bit, even if you can't totally see it
