How to Get Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Off a Cherry Wood Table

Mr. Clean Magic Erasers remove tough stains from almost any surface, yet the website recommends not to use them on stainless steel, automobile exteriors or satin, high gloss, faux, bare or polished wood surfaces. Cherry, a dark hardwood useful for making tables, cabinets and other furniture, is likely to show a dull residue from a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser that the homeowner used by mistake. Fortunately, it is not difficult to remove the residue.
