Wasn't sure where to put this and couldn't find my answer in the old posts. My question is this:

In my experience and others, newspaper clearly has some sort of abrasive property. There is a debate about linen and whether it has any abrasive properties. Now, I don't own any linen, or else I would do some experimental conjecturing. So, in the community's infinite wisdom, is there a consensus on whether linen is more or less abrasive than newspaper? If not, anyone experimented and care to share your findings?
