The Next Best Thing to Showering With a Dental Hygienist

The Next Best Thing to Showering With a Dental Hygienist

Until we’re all able to shower from bed, Waterpik’s new Showerpik is the next best thing for simplifying our morning routines. It works like any other Waterpik, blasting the spaces between your teeth clean like a dental floss fire hose. But since it taps into your existing shower head you don’t need to keep a reservoir of water nearby.

The unfortunately named Dyson Hard is a version of the company’s handheld cordless vacs that sees the business end replaced with a cleaning head that also sucks away dirt before it scrubs your floors.

Summer Oxford Shirt Has a Hidden Cleaning Cloth on the Inside

Smudged screens are one of my biggest pet peeves. Unfortunately, they’re virtually unavoidable when you have a smartphone because every tap or swipe on the screen will put greasy fingerprints on it.

For that reason, I carry a microfabric cloth with me wherever I go. If you can’t be bothered to do that, then you might want to consider switching out your regular shirts for these Summer Oxford button-downs. (Sorry girls, guys only!)

Summer Oxford Cleaning Cloth Shirt

Aside from giving you a stylish and dapper look, the shirts have a not-so-dirty little secret microsuede patch on the inside that can be used to wipe away smudges on your smartphone’s screen. Heck, you can even use it to wipe down your tablet, if those darned smudges are bugging you that much.

Aside from the hidden microsuede patch, the shirt also has a pocket lined with bright fabric that you can inverted so it’ll look like a spiffy pocket square. Neat-o.

The shirts are made by VoyVoy Clothing and sell for $98(USD) each.

Hack a Can of Compressed Air So It’s Refillable

It’s useful for blasting dust, crumbs, and other crap off your keyboard and electronics, but those overpriced compressed air cans are almost as big a rip-off as printer ink. So here’s a brilliant and relatively simple hack that makes a compressed air can refillable with a standard tire pump. And just to highlight what’s probably the most crucial step in this project: you’ll want to make sure the can you’re using is completely and thoroughly empty before going at it with a drill, be aware of the can’s recommended PSI before filling it, and just be careful when attempting this.

Grillbots Are Ready to Get Up in Your Grill

So you like to grill when the weather is nice, but you hate cleaning all of that grime off of your grill. It’s tough. The grease and dirt always sticks to the grate and it can be a real pain to scrub off. Like many things in life, you need a robot to help. That’s where Grillbots will come in handy.
grillbot
They are basically Roombas for your grill. They scrub off dirt, oil and grime with brushes on their underside as they move and they can do the job whether the grill is hot or cold. They work on gas or charcoal grills and are powered by a rechargeable battery. They have a small LCD to program them for either a light or deep clean.

Other features include an LCD alarm, timer and replaceable brushes. Ethan Woods, the inventor of the Grillbot, spent a few years developing these bots after cleaning his grill using a wire brush attached to a power drill. His system worked great, but a grill-cleaning robot is even better.

Grillbot will come in four colors to start. They will be available this June for $69.95(USD) for the base model. A premium version, with extras, will sell for $99.95(USD).
