you can make this up in advance. Use it immediately or after it cools, just give it a shake first if any of the ingredients settle.
Formerly occupied by hoarders, then left vacant and frequently broken into by squatters and teens looking for a place to party away from adult supervision, my first house was not fit for human habitation. However, even at just roughly 1 or 1 each, they re not exactly cheap, as they completely break down and fall apart after just a few minutes of tough cleaning.

Do this and you’ll never buy magic erasers again.
Okay, not really. There are a lot of things that a melamine foam “eraser” is just the best option for, and I have no plans on giving them up. But I DO like to use fewer of them, and to have a highly effective alternative for things they just don’t do that well. Although I’ll probably never quit them entirely, I did discover that you can save serious money on magic eraser by buying generic, and now I really will probably never buy them again, because I have so many in my stockpile now that my children’s children will be using them.
That said, this is a sprayable surface cleaner that will change your life. I developed this DIY “Magic Eraser” recipe shortly after moving into my first home. Formerly occupied by hoarders, then left vacant and frequently broken into by squatters and teens looking for a place to party away from adult supervision, my first house was not fit for human habitation. I cleaned literally every surface. Walls. Ceilings. I took the kitchen cabinets into the yard and cleaned them with the hose. As you can imagine, spending that many hours inhaling the fumes from commercial cleaners is not going to do anyone any favors. And most of the “green” cleaners on the market didn’t have enough “oomph” to get the job done. This one was, in all but the most intractable built up grime situations, a spray on and wipe off solution. (I went through A LOT of rags…)
Most of what you are paying for when you buy a ready mixed cleaning product is water. By volume, anyway. A signficant portion of the purchase cost is related to the cost of shipping that product to you, which means you are paying someone to ship you the same H2O you can get from your tap. DIY cleaners are made from more concentrated ingredients and diluted at home, so you can not only control the ingredients (no perfumes that give me a headache! Huzzah.) you can significantly decrease your carbon footprint by not using fossil fuels to transport water to your home.
This recipe holds on the shelf, so you can make (AND LABEL, or you’ll end up with a housemate who uses it on glass, which is a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE MISTAKE- ask me how I know) a bottle up in advance. I actually marked the measurements for each ingredient on the bottle so I didn’t have to look it up every time and so other people could refill it when they finished it.

Reviews for "Unveiling the Cultural Heritage of Shadow Magic Crape Myrtle"
1. Sarah - 1 out of 5 stars - Unfortunately, I was really disappointed with the Shadow Magic Crape Myrtle. I had high hopes for its supposed unique color-changing abilities, but it didn't live up to the hype. The blooms were lackluster and hardly changed colors, and the plant itself seemed weak and straggly. I wouldn't recommend this variety if you're looking for a striking and vibrant crape myrtle.
2. John - 2 out of 5 stars - The Shadow Magic Crape Myrtle didn't meet my expectations. I found it to be quite finicky and difficult to care for. Despite providing all the necessary nutrients and proper watering, the plant struggled to thrive. The blooms were sparse, and the colors didn't change as dramatically as advertised. Overall, I was let down by this variety and won't be purchasing it again.
3. Emily - 2 out of 5 stars - I have to admit, I wasn't impressed with the Shadow Magic Crape Myrtle. The flowers were small, and the color-changing effect was barely noticeable. It lacked the vibrant and showy blooms I was hoping for. Additionally, the plant seemed more susceptible to pests and diseases compared to other crape myrtle varieties I've grown in the past. I wouldn't recommend this particular cultivar if you're looking for a standout addition to your garden.
