Thanks again, everyone.

@Alan, I do appreciate your suggestion that just using it with your hands will restore the surfaces over time--fair enough.

However, recall that unfortunately some of my Newtons were also covered with what looked like white mold.  That definitely needed to be killed off/cleaned.  I'm quite sure the isopropyl alcohol removed that and made my Newtons safe to handle again.  A single quick wipe with just a little bit of alcohol on a hand towel is probably a decent solution there.
