What it appears to do is drive the gunk up onto the stylus. I sent my Soundsmith Zephyr to Peter Ledermann for "evaluation" and he found a lot of it "welded" to the diamond where it attaches to the cantilever. Surprised the heck out of me as I had been using the Magic Eraser in exactly this way and recommended it for a long time. It may work in conjunction with other stylus-cleaning methods but I'm no longer a fan.
Fwiw, Peter recommends building a mound out of Fun-tak/Blu-Tack and dipping the stylus repeatedly into that, while also cleaning the stylus (back to front, of course) with a small brush that's relatively stiff.
