A few questions about Mr. Clean. 1st, how often do you use it? Is it every time you play, or just on occasion for a good cleaning? 2nd, do you actually wet the thing, or just use it as is?
 
i assume youre referring to magic erasers. if so , just barely dampen the cloth, ring it out good, and run up and down your shaft. works great
 
i'd recommend using rubbing alcohol (90+%) instead of water, it raises the grain a lot less
 
I wipe down my shafts with a cloth dampened with 90+ alcohol every week or so. I use the Magic Eraser very infrequently, only when a shaft is due for a serious deep clean and full polish job, since a ME treatment does roughen a shaft up. At 5 or so hours a week of play, rotating two shafts, twice a year is about all I need. I probably use it more often to clean ferrules, since they hold more chalk dust than a sealed and polished shaft. I wet it with alcohol to do shafts, but use water on a ferrule. I may be too fussy, but I'd rather not dampen a layered tip with any kind of solvent. Just tape off the seam where the ferrule meets the wood.

It should only be done when the shaft is more blue than wood...I took a very well used shaft and literally got all the blue out of it...it wasn't bright like a new shaft but it looked like wood again....LOLz...I wetted it with a little shaft cleaner from David Hodge...
 
i do it every couple months < play 20+ hours a week>.... i wear a glove so my shafts don't get too bad <reason i wear a glove> i slightly wet it as i don't think it works without water. Then after 'scrubbing' i dry it good with a towel then use rubbing alchohol over it again... then dry with a towel. Then let it air dry for 15 minutes or so and then take 4000 grain sandpaper for a quick rub, then use a sealer/slick stuff like cue silk... nice.......
