Now mind you, my pool wasn't green, but it looked like it was getting cloudy. I threw one of these in the skimmer basket and holla bing, holla boom, the cloudiness left and my sponge looks like this," Lisa wrote alongside a photo of herself holding the green Magic Eraser in front of her clean pool [3]. "I'm pretty excited to think something so cheap could help so much [4]."
