How to Make Your Own Magic Eraser

DIY Homemade Magic Eraser Recipe

My fascination with Magic Erasers started when I had kids.  Those kids always seem to make the biggest messes and the sponges never let me down.  But, the sponges seem to disintegrate very quickly when being used.  I found myself buying them weekly at the grocery store.  In my frugal nature, I decided to see how I could save some money on the product that I use daily.  My first thought was to find a generic alternative to my name brand that worked the same.  It turns out that the magic sponges are made from Melamine Foam.  I found a 100 pack on Amazon for about $8!  Yes, that is great!  I just need to buy another cabinet to store a hundred sponges until I can use them all. And, they disintegrate as quickly as the name brands. So, I kept looking and found a few recipes to make my own “magic erasers”.
