A magic eraser sponge, also known as a melamine sponge, is a versatile cleaning tool that has gained popularity in recent years. It is a handy item to have around the house, as it can effectively remove stubborn stains and marks from various surfaces. The magic eraser sponge is made from melamine foam, which is a soft and porous material. When wet, the sponge becomes slightly abrasive, allowing it to gently scrub away dirt and grime without causing damage to the surface being cleaned. One of the key features of the magic eraser sponge is its ability to remove marks that traditional cleaning methods often struggle with. It can effortlessly erase scuff marks, crayon marks, fingerprints, and even permanent marker stains from walls, floors, and furniture.
In the following example there's only a point at ( 10 , 10 ). Note, though, that it wouldn't show up if a path was just drawn normally. For example:
Lowercase syntax means that relative position values follow, meaning, that the subsequent coordinate is found down and to the right from the current control point. As mentioned earlier, there are still two possible ellipses for the path to travel around and two different possible paths on both ellipses, giving four possible paths.
It can effortlessly erase scuff marks, crayon marks, fingerprints, and even permanent marker stains from walls, floors, and furniture. It is also effective in removing soap scum and hard water stains from bathroom fixtures and tiles. To use a magic eraser sponge, simply wet it with water and squeeze out any excess moisture.
Utility: Convert SVG path to all-relative or all-absolute commands

I like hand-editing my SVGs. Often I will create an initial version in Illustrator, and then export and continue with hand editing. Not only is it a bit of a meditative experience and it satisfies my obsessive-compulsive tendencies to clean up the code, it has actual practical benefits when you need to make certain changes or introduce animation. Some things are easier to do in a GUI, and others are easier to do in code, and I like having the flexibility to pick which one fits my use case best.
However, there was always a thing that was a PITA: modifying paths. Usually if I need anything more complicated than just moving them, I’d do it in Illustrator, but even moving them can be painful if they are not all relative (and no, I don’t like introducing pointless transforms for things that should really be in the d attribute).
For example, this was today’s result of trying to move an exported “a” glyph from Raleway Bold by modifying its first M command:
Trying to move a path by changing its first M command when not all of its commands are relative.
This happened because even though most commands were exported as relative, several were not and I had not noticed. I have no idea why some commands were exported as absolute, it seems kind of random.
When all commands are relative, moving a path is as simple as manipulating its initial M command and the rest just adapts, because that’s the whole point of relative commands. Same with manipulating every other part of the path, the rest of it just adapts. It’s beautiful. I honestly have no idea why anybody would favor absolute commands. And yet, googling “convert SVG path to relative” yields one result, whereas there are plenty of results about converting paths to absolute. No idea why that’s even desirable, ever (?).
I remembered I had come across that result before. Thankfully, there’s also a fiddle to go with it, which I had used in the past to convert my path. I love it, it uses this library called Snap.svg which supports converting paths to relative as a just-add-water utility method. However, that fiddle is a quick demo to answer a StackOverflow question, so the UI is not super pleasant to use (there is no UI: you just manipulate the path in the SVG and wait for the fiddle to run). This time around, I needed to convert multiple paths, so I needed a more efficient UI.
So I created this demo which is also based on Snap.svg, but has a slightly more efficient UI. You just paste your path in a textarea and it both displays it and instantly converts it to all-relative and all-absolute paths (also using Snap.svg). It also displays both your original path and the two converted ones, so you can make sure they still look the same. It even follows a pending-delete pattern so you can just focus on the output textarea and hit Cmd-C in one fell swoop.
I wasn’t sure about posting this or just tweeting it (it literally took less than 30 minutes — including this blog post — and I tend to only post small things like that on my twitter), but I thought it might be useful to others googling the same thing, so I may as well post it here for posterity. Enjoy!
Then, gently rub the sponge on the stained area, applying slight pressure. The sponge will start to break down as it removes the dirt or stain, so it is important to frequently rinse it under running water and squeeze it out to remove any debris. However, it is worth noting that while the magic eraser sponge is highly effective, it should be used with caution on delicate or easily scratched surfaces. It may be too abrasive for some materials, such as polished wood or glossy surfaces, and can cause damage if used incorrectly. It is always recommended to test the sponge on a small, inconspicuous area before using it on the entire surface. In conclusion, a magic eraser sponge is a versatile cleaning tool that can effectively remove stubborn stains and marks from various surfaces. With its gentle abrasive properties, it is a highly effective option for tackling tough cleaning tasks. However, it should be used with caution on delicate surfaces to avoid any potential damage..
Reviews for "Removing water spots from your car's exterior with the magic eraser sponge"
1. Jessica - ★★☆☆☆ - I was really excited to try the Magic eraser sponge for var after reading all the positive reviews, but I was quite disappointed with the results. The sponge didn't seem to have any effect on the stains or marks on my varnished surfaces. I tried using it on different types of stains like tea and crayon marks, but it barely made a difference. It was also quite abrasive and left scratches on the varnish. Overall, I don't think it lives up to the hype and I would not recommend it.
2. Alex - ★☆☆☆☆ - I had high hopes for the Magic eraser sponge for var but it fell short of my expectations. Firstly, it didn't remove any of the marks or stains on my varnished furniture. I followed the instructions carefully and applied enough pressure, but it just didn't deliver the desired results. Additionally, the sponge started to disintegrate after only a few uses, leaving small pieces all over my furniture. I found it to be a waste of money and would not buy it again.
3. Emily - ★★☆☆☆ - I was not impressed with the Magic eraser sponge for var at all. I found that it didn't work well on tougher stains and marks. I tried it on some scuff marks on my wooden floors and it barely made a difference. It also didn't hold up well after a few uses and started falling apart. I think there are better alternatives out there that are more effective and durable.
