[QUOTE="SRL, post: 33255, member: 701"] Those Magic erasers are great and I wish they'd made them sooner! difficult child was Hyperlexic which means that he was seriously into letters and words from age 2 and wrote them on every conceivable surface. I managed to get it off the regular walls using Ajax with bleach and a lot of elbow grease but I had a cabinet I couldn't get it to budge off of until these were invented. I was wiping it down the other day and saw the faint markings of the growth chart he drew on it when he was little. I think this was less work than the Magic erasers--I did use one on a really tough spot but I saturated it with the cleaner first. I also had a razor blade nearby to scrape off paint spots and some silver stuff difficult child got on the table and floor (from a permanent marker?). I'm guessing this flooring is early 80's--good quality Armstrong to begin with but it's had a workout. Besides the dirt it has spots where it's turned purple by the deck door from light exposure. My cabinets need refacing or replacing and while I've grown quite fond of my harvest gold 70's fridge and stove, they won't last forever. The carpet needs replacing as does the 23 year old sofa. No money for all that replacement so I'm going for the free nap on the sofa. [/QUOTE]
