 Mike... It's melamine foam insulation cut into pads. See:
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melamine_foam
3M also makes a Scotch Brite labeled version.

Its chemical composition is a Formaldehyde-Melamine-Sodium Bisulfite copolymer. Sounds bad, but it's entirely benign. Great stuff. 80 cents a pad on Amazon.

The Mr Clean Magic Erasers have millions of tiny hard-working but cheerful
little robot-like things in them that go after dirt and stains. They seem
to love doing it, which I guess is why they do it so well. I saw it on TV,
so that must be how the pads work.
