Product description of the manufacturer
The BROX® dirt eraser is a versatile cleaning product that acts as an eraser sponge to remove stubborn dirt from various surfaces. Whether in the kitchen, bathroom or for sneakers – this product promises simple and effective dirt removal without chemical cleaning agents, using only water. Our test shows that the magic sponge impresses with its innovative foam structure and really does make cleaning easier. The product offers great versatility as well as outstanding durability, as the 18 sponges in the set are robust and hard-wearing.

In a practical test by Prüfengel GmbH, the BROX® dirt eraser shows its strengths. It completely removes dirt from kitchen worktops and plastic surfaces, while bathroom tiles and stainless steel surfaces are almost completely cleaned – only minimal residue remains visible. The abrasive effect produces the promised erasing effect, whereby cleaning with water alone is sufficient. The test result is also positive for walls painted with latex or acrylic paint, although the paint does rub off slightly, which should be taken into account for sensitive surfaces. The manufacturer largely keeps its promise of versatile and chemical-free cleaning, even if the full effectiveness can vary depending on the surface. Overall, the magic sponge impresses with its efficiency and ease of use in everyday life.
