Melamine plastic is no different than any other plastic. They are
almost all formed from toxic monomers, catalysts, or give off toxic
compounds when curing. PVC is made from very toxic vinyl chloride,
acrylic from toxic methyl methacrylate, polyethylene from highly
poisonous ethylene, polystyrene from highly toxic styrene, polyester
from polyester resin, toxic styrene and methyl ethyl keytone peroxide
which is especially nasty. Then you have things like polyurethane which
is basically made from urine, but forms formaldehyde when it cures and
outgasses heavily. In addition many plastics, such as PVC (but not
melamine) have plasticizers in them that diffuse out and are mimics of
estrogen. Melamine and polyethylene are probably the least problematical
of these as far as having anything left over which might diffuse out
later, and Melamine probably has the least toxic monomer of any of
them. So I don't understand the criticism of melamine when most of the
other plastics are really much worse.

Dee,
Why are you arguing with me??
I am mearly telling you that it contains melamine, you may not feel
it, smell it or taste it but....poison is poison.
Keep using it, time will tell if anyone in you family gets sick.

I don't find any problems with the little pads and I use non toxic
things for everything else. That is, I use soap-nuts to wash
clothes with (no softener) and Feem for cleaning surfaces such as
floors which are dirty - otherwise just micro-fibre cloths and
water. The little pads clean all the bathroom things just fine,
without using other more toxic substances. dee

There are quite a few alternatives to "cleaning" with poison:
