I can't figure out how the stuff is such a good cleaner. I've yet to make a mess it can't clean up on a flattop.

Micro-abrasive particles. Pretty much works like fine grain sandpaper. Pretty much the same principle as Magic Eraser.

There are lots of abrasive cleaning solutions that don't work as well. It's the combination of micro-abrasiaves, a surfactant, and oxalic acid.
