For parents trying to manage childcare duties during the pandemic, the most important products in their lives might not be phones or laptops—it could be a good cleaning product.

Burnham: Two cups, home-brewed, dark roast with oat milk.

3. How much of your day is spent on Zoom calls?

Burnham: About 20%.

4. What’s a tool you couldn’t live without right now?
