Mr Clean Magic Sponge:
It's a cleaning stick made of melamine foam. Melamine is a resin used in construction and the automotive industry as a sound barrier and flame retardant. It also imparts strength and is used in such products as dinnerware and laminate counter tops.
Aimee, he mops the floor with vinegar. Seriously.
Ha, Aimee. I doubt that my husband would let it in the house. He's all into green housecleaning, which means that he's usually using cleaning technology that was state of the art at the turn of the 20th century. I have to quickly sneak in the bleach while he's not looking.
It works via microabrasives, and the ingredients are supposedly safe.

OK, so I won't go home and attempt to set the grungy one afire. (Um, yes, I had been idly wondering how they burned after the topic came up.) I'm less than impressed with how they work on tub and tile. Easier and a kajillion times more effective to just use scrubbing bubbles.

We just got August's Wired. It's not available on the Wired web site yet, which is a shame, because Steven Colbert is on the cover, and he wrote an article titled "how to be an expert on everything".

Okay I have to go grade now so I can pick up the kids a bit early. Poor Franny, she was so broken this morning that she wouldn't let me leave daycare. She cried for an hour. That is SO not like her.

Oh, poor Franny! I'm glad she's feeling better.
I would totally scrub our kitchen floor with vinegar if I thought Hec wouldn't flip out like a mammal over it, but he probably would, so we both compromise mostly by just never scrubbing the kitchen floor.
Shit, ita. Your poor brain. I'm so sorry about the ongoing crappitude of the migraines.
Also, tommyrot? Re some total stranger's recent discovery of the proto-Bender? Humph, I say, humph.
Vinegar actually does the job, JZ. I was surprised, but hey, it cleans the floor. It also cleans the mirrors and windows.
I always use vinegar and water to do mirrors and windows, and scrunched newspaper to wipe.
