Benign until proven otherwise at any rate. 
I like using them in moderation when nothing else works before breaking out the serious solutions, but they can be hard on the skin.  I wear gloves using them now.


I talked to the boat cleaners for the charter company here the other day because I saw them with so many boxes of them.

They said:
Not good for gel coat, the mr clean ones work better then the cheap ones, but they can dull gel coat and remove wax so not recommended for regular use or hard scrubbing on exterior.  

Perhaps there is another mild abrasive in the mr clean ones.

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.
