In a recent Instagram post, Berkus confessed to regularly using the product to keep his walls free of scuffs and marks, proving that even design stars turn to practical solutions to maintain their home's interior.

There are likely many things you didn't know you could do with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, especially when you consider the hundreds of videos of cleaning hacks utilizing this versatile sponge in tons of different ways. One of its most notable features is that you don't need any harsh cleaning products to get the job done. Just add water to your sponge, wring it out, and you're ready to clean.

There are many simple cleaning methods that can keep your home sparkling, and Nate Berkus' Magic Eraser tip is a great one. But before you grab your sponge, there are a couple things you should know. The first is, you should never use your magic eraser on wood surfaces, stainless steel items, delicate glass surfaces, electronic devices, non-stick pots and pans, leather, or natural stone. These little sponges are made up with melamine foam, which is highly abrasive and can easily scratch some surfaces, especially if you don't use them properly. But rest assured, with our cleaning tips, you can safely and easily use your Mr. Clean Magic Sponge to remove scuffs and stains from your walls like your favorite style guru, Berkus.

Now that you're armed with your Magic Eraser, let's dive into how to use it to get your walls scuff-free. First, walk through your home and take note of any areas that might have marks you want to remove, like entryways, hallways, or any high-traffic areas. It is also a good idea to test out your eraser on a small patch to make sure it won't damage your surface. When you're ready to tackle those scuffs and stains, wet your Magic Eraser with warm water and squeeze out any extra (you want it to be damp). You will then rub any scuff gently in a circular motion — don't scrub as this can damage the surface, rather, let the sponge do the work for you. Once the mark is gone, wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove any residue. When you have finished cleaning your surfaces, let your Mr. Clean Magic Eraser completely dry out in a cool place between uses and you'll be ready for the next time you need to refresh your walls.
