I just tried out the innovation Mr. Clean Magic Eraser in my house and can report great success. I was very suprised at how different this product is from anything else I've used.
It's very effective for what little effort in elbow grease is required. Basically, you wet the thing with water, squeeze out the excess, and gently rub the white side on scuff marks and grime. It works almost instantly and there is almost no scrubbing required. I don't know how this works and I imagine some kind of molecular attraction principle is in action. When I wrote the Mr. Clean complany and asked, I was told the product is 100% Melamine Foam, and contains no chemicals.
The Magic Eraser easily got old tape off my front door, black marks off my fridge and patio chairs, scuff marks from my baseboards and food splatters off my stove backsplash. I find myself looking around for new ways to test it and am completely delighted with the product.
The Magic Eraser is not a scrubbie, and it's not redolent of ammonia or bleach. There is no scent. Chemically, it seems inert; I'm hopeful it's an environmentally responsible product. Frankly, I don't know just what this thing is. The box description is deliberately vague - to protect their patent, I am sure. Proctor and Gamble, the company running Mr. Clean products, call it "an innovative cleaning material," and an "absorbant wiping layer."
Note that this product is not a sponge. It's a cleaning layer. Whatever. I like my new cleaning layer, and plan to have one around for those ugly scuff marks that don't respond to anything else.
Okay, here's the link to Amazon's Mr. Clean if you want to try one: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Cleaning Pads - 2 pads
And here's what it looks like:
