Post Clean eraser, a tip!
My eraser got like most erasers black and dirty from graphite. I've tried to scrub it against clean paper etc but it will not get clean enough until I found a piece of sandpaper (medium rough). Now I don't have any problem to clean the eraser, it looks like new!

In a pinch, I've found rubbing it on the carpet works well.

Until i learned of Rosmaries' sandpaper trick i used to use my blue jeans. I noticed that they all have a distinct white spot on the right thigh... By Golly i think if i'd continued i might have eventually erased myself completley!
