Rustic Computer Brush Gets to the Root of Your Grimy Gadgets Blame Apple for the profusion of roundish, white space-looking accessories — because of them I was struck by how "unusual" this Computer Brush ($32) looks, even though it really resembles traditional house-cleaning supplies. One side of the bristles is stiff to get out crumbs and other ucky crap from your keyboard; the other side is soft, antistatic goat hair to dedustify your monitor. The promise of cleanliness is what piques my interest, but to be honest, it's the back-to-basics styling that has me sold.

Steal of the Day: Stainless Steel Soap Stainless steel has magical deodorizing/odor neutralizing power that can wipe the pungent scents from things like garlic, onion, and fish away from your skin. There isn't a clear chemical explanation for this, but it's been hypothesized that sulfurous compounds are somehow catalyzed by the steel. So, some clever entrepreneur came up with a stainless steel "soap" product, essentially a block of metal in soap shape, to rid your skin of whatever stink ails you.

How Often Do You Clean Up After Your Kids? The other day, I had one of those days when every time I turned around there was another cereal spill, milky mess, or emptied toy box.
