We always want you to receive our Magic Erasers in the best possible condition, and have many quality checks in place. While this product is designed to compress and break down as it&#39;s used, like a pencil eraser, it shouldn&#39;t fall apart so easily. It can leave behind small pieces of residue, just as a pencil eraser does. How long the product lasts depends on how many times you use it and how rough the surfaces you use it on are. For best results, wet the pad with water before you use it. Then squeeze out excess water rather than wringing or twisting the pad. It&#39;s important to not use any cleaning product with the pad. After use, rinse the product and leave it to dry naturally. We want to know more and find the best way to help. When you have a minute, please give us a call at (800) 248-1612.<br /><br />-The Mr. Clean Team
