I need someone with a dirty toilet to try this and

[hisno1girl]

tell me if it works.

I can't try it because my toilet isn't white.

Anyway, the trick is that if you take a Magic Eraser and cut it into quarters, you can drop one of the pieces in a dirty toilet, leave it overnight and wake up in the morning to a sparking clean toilet.

Can someone do this and report back?

[girlfriday11]

I will do this tonight!

PS- my toilet is not gross, it's just time to clean it.

[TrickyBob]

I wish I could try this but I'd probably forget, pee on it, and flush it. That can't be good for septic.

Squirting in some cleaning solution and rubbing it with a toilet brush really can't be that much harder than cutting up a magic eraser and leaving it in your toilet overnight.

Plus the only part that gets clean (if it even works) is the part touched by the water already in it. The rim, seat, etc are all still gross. Seems like a waste, when it takes all of 4 minutes to clean a moderately dirty toilet.

[TrickyBob]

hisno1girl Be honest, you have a blue toilet, don't you?

[firedancer49]

I have also heard that this works. Ours get nasty quickly if the water sits for too long. I'll hang off on cleaning it just to try this!

[thinkofthesoldiers]

I'm not understanding why you couldn't use a magic eraser on a non-white toilet. It isn't going to take the color out of the porcelain (sp?).

Reminds me of that time I visited xH while he lived in an apartment on campus with 2 other friends. The toilet was all BROWN under the water line. It was seriously gross. I don't know how it could have happened. Unless they left some fecal matter in there for several days, it means they didn't clean the toilet for months. A $2 toilet brush and cleaning product did the trick. I didn't even have to rub that hard. Sigh.

[moolarkey]

I have off brand magic erases. I'll try one tonight and see if they work.

We have a pink toilet and a blue toilet.

[fuckyourcouch]

this makes no sense to me. i've seen it before and i just don't get it. cleaning product + 10 seconds of scrub brush is not that hard!

LOL. It's worse than blue.

I'll make you guess, but someone might already know the answer.

Well way to have a retro overload Skips. (YGPM btw)

I like colored toilets. Well, I like the blue ones, not so much the pink. 

[TrickyBob]

Well His, I'd guess either red, brown, or that off white that is so off white it is in between brown and cream.

We haaaaaaaate it. Our pink toilet is in a bathroom with a massive pink jetted tub and an ugly pink marble vanity top with the built in seashell sink. Our blue toilet is in a bathroom with a blue marble shower and marble vanity tops. Ahhh the 80s. lol

I think she is just saying she won't be able to see how sparkling clean it is because the bowl always looks dirty.

Hello! My toilet bowl is always clean. That's why someone with a dirty toilet needs to try it!!

lolz

I don't understand why this would work. Magic Erasers are an abrasive piece of melamine foam - there's no chemical in them, correct? I imagine dropping a sponge in your toilet and expecting it to scrub it for you overnight would be about as ineffective.

That's why I'm asking.

It's like the ML version of Mythbusters.

OMG BLACK?

:Y:

My bathroom is black & white. Toilet, sink & tub/shower are black. Floor is B&W tile, walls are white.

[TrickyBob]

I don't know if I could handle a black toilet and tub, I need to know where the gunk is so I can clean it off.

[hisno1girl]

Believe me you can see dirt on a black sink/toilet/tub. The soap/shampoo splotches are the reason I clean those bitches so much.

Yeah. Cute baby AND you guessed right.

Why do you have to have EVERYTHING?

Try a Magic Eraser overnight.

[open24hours]

I don't see how this could possibly work. The dirtiest part of my toilet is under the lip. Unless my magic eraser comes with a magic fairy who scrubs the toilet for me, I don't see how floating a magic eraser in the water is going to touch that.
