Use Eraser Sponges to Transform Your Painting!

In the past we have been sharing fun and even unique uses for your eraser sponges, but this one definitely takes the cake.

From the time that eraser sponges have become popular, people have been searching for uses and tricks.

Do you paint?

This could include watercolor or even using powerful stains outside of your typical paints.

Did you make a mistake?

You can use your eraser sponge to fix them!

With water color paintings it is very easy to get paint where you didn’t mean to, and can also make it hard to change the overall look of the painting.

With eraser sponges you now have a way to do that.

Here is how:

  • If you have something you would like to add to your water color painting, create a stencil of the object and place it on your painting, wherever you want to object to be.
  • Once the stencil is in place, take a small piece of an eraser sponge and wet it. Make sure to squeeze out most of the water.
  • Once this is done, gently wipe the painting where the stencil is. This will bring up the paint. Do this multiple times until the canvas/paper is blank again.
  • Once you pull up the stencil, you will find that there is a perfect white spot in the shape of your object! This will make it easier to add in that shape or object that you couldn’t add in before.
  • It is suggested to dry your painting, or set it aside to let it dry naturally before working on it again.

Who would have thought that eraser sponges would have artistic uses?

    • Using the Eraser Sponge on your iron will make it look new, like the first time you had it.

    • Heck with the Eraser Sponge you could even have the child clean up their own mess as it is not a chemical like bleach.
  • White Boards– Yes they make erasers and cleaners to clean white boards. But why keep around another product that only has one use.
    • The Eraser Sponge is multi-use and some even say it makes the white board cleaner than the product sold for it.

Making the Most of Your Eraser Sponge

Making your Eraser Sponge last as long as it can!

We all know how nifty these little eraser sponges are- they work like magic, cleaning  just about anything and without the chemical smell afterwards. But how do you make them last as long as possible, and get every pennies worth out of them? Follow these tips to get the most use out of your eraser sponge.

Try cutting your Eraser Sponges into quarters- cut long strips along the width. This will give you four times the scrubbing power, and that much more surface to work with!

Many of us think to automatically dunk our sponges into the water and then squeeze it out- but wait a minute, there is a better way to do this. Instead, try lightly misting it with water (using a mister or the kitchen sink sprayer). Do this instead of saturating it first- because this tends to make the eraser sponge shrivel up more.

Another tip is to lightly scrub with your Eraser Sponge. The surface of these Sponges will require a lot less elbow grease, because of their unique surfaces. Also this will help you with the shredding. The less you press it into the surface you are working on, the longer it will stay intact.

Lastly, when your Eraser Sponge starts to get a little gross, (after cleaning your toilet, sink, tub, etc.) simply spray it to rinse it out. This will help revive it a bit. Squeeze the excess out. Do this until it begins to shred.

What’s another great tip for never running out of these awesome Eraser Sponges? Buy them in bulk.
