Magic erasers are made of melamine and that’s the reason behind the tight holes (usually tighter than regular sponge holes. You should also know that magic erasers are very effective yet they wear out quickly, that is why buying magic erasers constantly can be hard on your pocket. First, you have to buy melamine sponges in bulk, then load them with a cleaning solution of your choice
- For two sponges, use half a cup of warm water, a tablespoon of baking soda, and a teaspoon of Borax
- Dissolve the baking soda and borax by stirring the solution thoroughly
- Soak the sponges completely in the solution
- Squeeze out the excess solution (avoid squeezing out too much because you want to have wet sponges that are not dripping)
- Use the sponges at that state to clean whatever you want or let dry for later uses (make sure to wet them with warm water first).
This homemade magic eraser is truly magical because it imitates the perfect work of normal magic erasers. The best part is that the DIY solution does not cost you much and it typically lasts longer than original magic erasers.
