108: Dial "D" for Dryer

Remember that time when a listener ended her voicemail with “Ok. No more maggots. Bye.”? Yeah, about that. We’re going to go ahead and not follow that directive in this week’s episode. As we usher in a new year, we’re listening to some listener stories. Specifically, one confession and one horror story. Because that’s just how we do things.

Listen here:

Also! Andrew has discovered the Secret Ingredient to an Abuela’s Home: FABULOSO!

Frankly, I’m a little concerned because like, it’s true that these particular cleaners look extra-delicious. Will this be the year that Andrew accidentally picks up a bottle and chugs? We can’t know! It’s also true that Fabs isn’t like, especially crunchy, they do sell their products in big ol’ bulk bottles, which can at least reduce your plastic usage over time? Plus, your floors will straight-up GLIMMER.

Now, today’s episode got us into an interesting sector of Cleaning Content: Confessions! We’re not exactly the Hot Priest from Fleabag (like, not even close) but Andrew has eaten a hefty amount of Host in his day, so we feel very qualified to help you unburden your soul. Have you ever had a time when a cleaning problem went oh-so-wrong? Ruined a rug? Stained a settee?

TELL US! Call the Spotline and receive your forgiveness: 508-HOW-WASH.

PS: I confirmed with my sister that her favorite number IS 4, so I continue to be undefeated when it comes to remembering creepy weird details about other people.
