Staff Answer
wikiHow Staff EditorStaff AnswerSince the magic eraser is a little bit abrasive, don’t use it on anything with a delicate, high-shine surface, such as a granite countertop. They’ll also dull the appearance of stainless steel, the paint on your car, and glossy paint finishes in your home. Avoid using them on non-stick pans, since they can easily scratch up Teflon or ceramic. -
