46: The Stain of My Existence
This is the episode where both of us finally admit what you’ve already known: We’re gross. Oh, sure, we love to do things like scrub the baseboards and discover new cleaning products we didn’t even know we needed, but at the end of the day, whether it’s a peanut M&M in your cup holder or a layer of mold so thick you think it’s water damage, we are guilty.
For real, though, if you’re putting a dish rack on your counter, get a plastic thingy to go underneath it so that it doesn’t fuse to your countertop. Sure, you may get lucky and it’ll just be a stain that can be tackled with a little elbow grease and tile cleaner — but sometimes a stain really is a stain FOR-EV-ERRRRR.

This episode also saw the return of Rated C for Clean!!!! And while we can’t share a clip (there isn’t one on YouTube), here’s a still of Sookie getting ready to spread the blood around with a single, solitary wet rag.
Let us leave you with Andrew’s wise words: When cleaning up blood, you already have a liquid. It’s called blood.
