37: Self Quaranclean

Today, we’re trying something new (out of necessity) — we’re recording in separate rooms! While Hanna hunkers down in an undisclosed location, Andrew is alone with clean microphone guards and the sweet scent of Mrs. Meyers.

Also on the show today, we talked about some heavy stuff (kind of hard to avoid COVID content at this time) and some light stuff (like a mitten-cleaning hack that’s close to Hanna’s heart).

And you also definitely get verbal confirmation that Hanna’s dog—the one who eats apples—is real.

Listen here:

Uhhh also, hate to tell everyone this, but our Best Friends at the American Cleaning Institute have some bad news. If you’re running low on hand soap, you’d better either brave Target, order some from Grove (if they have any), or otherwise get creative because apparently this frugal favorite is fully on the No List.

Here are some other things we talked about / things that are close to things we talked about:

• Mr. Clean CleanFreak is apparently available in the United States, but good luck using it. I’m confused just looking at the nozzle deal.

• If your paws are feeling parched from all of that hand-washing, consider the oldest abuelita trick in the book: Slap on some lotion and don some clean socks (on your hands) before you turn in. Your lotion will do double the work!

• A lot of sanitizers and paper products are still sold out, so again we’re just going to slip in here and say please do not panic buy. It’s bad for everyone and pretty much every single official and organization says there is no supply chain issue, which means people are just buying too much stuff. Don’t!

Good luck out there, Scrub Jockeys! You’re doing the most and we’re so proud of you.
