The fastest way to clean an eraser is to simply rub it on carpet. You probably don't want to do this on a really good carpet, but I was constantly doing it in school and it worked every time.
Tip from Amber Knight
When your art eraser becomes too dirty, place it in a pocket of jeans and allow it to go through the washing machine. Comes out clean as can be!
Tip from Jill Macfarlane
For dirty art erasers, I wash them with water and dish soap and the dirt rubs off.
Tip from L Logan
I usually rub a dirty eraser on the shirt I'm wearing to clean it, or a trouser leg. Hopefully I'm wearing painting clothes at the time (but not always!).
