51: Armor All'd And Dangerous
What is even a hack, anyway? A listener — who may or may not have worked for LIFEHACKER —has discovered a hack to whiten her shoes. But is it really a hack? What is a hack, anyway?
And really, if your tennies get this white, does It matter if it’s a hack? Anyway, it works!
Also on the show today, we try to solve the mystery surrounding a listener’s new stinky house smell, which forces us to confront some realities about what makes a place smell, anyway. Where does stink live? How do you locate it? And do you need an exorcism to vanquish it?
Plus! Your pet water. Is it gross? Probably! But it can’t be any worse than our #2 fan, who has a very disturbing experience with her cat’s water dish that is……..truly horrifying.
Here are some references from today’s show:
BrenDid, a website that is full of good stuff
Air purifier vs air ionizer? Honeywell has answers.
Cleaning my grout with peroxide was a truly shitty tip. But adding baking soda might actually do the trick?
BarkPost has a really good explainer about why cleaning your pet’s water dish is important as hell.
