I used to use a Magic Eraser when I got scuffs/stains on the wall. (i didn't think it worked all that great, usually took some color off with the mark).
anyway....yesterday when i was cleaning, I had a MF cloth wet with just water and thought "hmmm...wonder what it would do to this scuff." it took the mark off! completely. no color change. minimal elbow grease. woohoo!
(on 2nd thought, there may have been a touch of Dr. B's on the rag too. i can't remember. i was doing too much cleaning yesterday. but the gist is that a MF cloth cleaned as well if not better than a Magic Eraser!!!)
