LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are in millions of kitchen cabinets around the world. They're an easy way to remove marks from cabinets, walls, and more.

While you think it may be able to clean everything, there are some things you should never use it on.

The erasers can dull or damage your stainless steel appliances. They can also make the clearcoat paint on your car look fuzzy, and add scratches to your Teflon pans.

When it comes to your furniture, the erasers can take away the shiny finish on your wood furniture and reduce the gloss on your glossy furniture.

The erasers may look like a standard sponge, but they actually contain an abrasive foam. That's why they work so well on walls, doors, and cabinets.

If you're not sure on the surface you want to use it on, try a small area first before doing the whole thing.
