Selective removal of contaminants from a surface using articles having magnets

A system for removing a contaminant from a skin surface comprising:

• a particle having a magnetic metal element and means on the particle for selectively binding a contaminant on the skin surface;
• a carrier for applying the particle directly to the skin surface;
• a magnet;
• and
• a diaper having the magnet contained therein, for placing the magnet sufficiently adjacent the skin surface such that the particle and the bound contaminant can be removed from the skin surface by exposure to the magnet.
