Thus, the eraser constantly comes to the aid of office workers, teachers, artists, engineers and representatives of many other professions.

Now let's ask an important question: "What is the blue side of the eraser for?"

Yes, this side of the eraser is indeed stronger and harder than the red side.

Just don't use the blue part to erase ink from sheets of a notebook or notepad, otherwise you'll just leave holes in the paper.

How to use the blue part of the eraser correctly

This side of the stationery is designed to remove pencil marks from thick paper. For example, from cardboard.

The red part of the eraser does not remove pencil marks well from this material.

But the blue side of the eraser copes with this task without any problems.

And remember: using this part of the eraser to remove writing made on thin paper is dangerous: there is a risk of damaging the material.
