13 mins confidence: 
eraser made from household items or products Explanation: This is taken from the website pasted below: Manuals on the conservation of paintings traditionally have included brief discussions of dry methods of surface cleaning, including the use of dusting brushes and cloths, erasers, and sponges. Foodstuffs, including fresh breadcrumbs, “cakes,” potatoes, and onions have also been mentioned (Mora et al. 1984; Keck 1978).

household (rubber) eraser Explanation: Meaning "of the type found in many homes". You could probably leave out "rubber" - I'm sure a plastic one would do the job just as well. Reference: http://dictionary.reverso.net/spanish-english/casero |
