Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Warning

I found this blog post, complete with picture, today via The Common Room.  The Deputy Headmistress is a wonderful mentor to me (online, of course, not in the real world) and I would encourage you to wander around this family blog when you get the time.  Lots of wonderful literature suggestions for children of all ages.  The DHM is a book lover like not many I've ever run across before.

She linked to this post on the dangers of the Magic Eraser products and those like them by 3M.  I was amazed and scared by what I read.  I use these products in our home (thankfully the kids have never handled them) and I will take appropriate measures now to lock them up.  I, too, like some of the commenters, thought that the "magic" part of the product was in it's abrasiveness, not from a chemical component.

Whew!  So much to be up-to-date on.  Back later with more from a working weekend.

Thanks for the post on my blog. Yes, I'm the boss' husband.
She got a kick out of that by the way. If you like old barns, you would like it around here. We have 4 or 5 of our own and there are tons of them around this part of the country. Mostly tobacco barns since this is tobacco country. Thanks again.

See ya - Tony

On a homestead, have you ever thought of never buying things you need to lock up to clean?

I only shop safe and then our children can learn the ability of cleaning up after themselves and sharing in family chores...
