Homemade Magic Erasers

by Nora Leave a Comment

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
