81: Bumpin' Vacuums
You ever look at your partner and just say “oh yeah, you’re the one.” Recently, this happened to me. Except it wasn’t a gaze over a plate of pasta or a romantic stroll in the park. It was the moment that both Keith and I were vacuuming the house at the same time.
That’s how you know.
In other vacuum news, Andrew has a new love. Also, I was Today-Years-Old when I learned that Andrew doesn’t know from Joni Mitchell and I am upset about it. Anyway, good luck getting this song out of your head!
PHEW.
Anyway, we also had a L E N G T H Y conversation about dishwashers (AGAIN) and whether or not we were following our New Protocol (aka extra soap or pre-rinse and running the hot water). And yes! They work!
Listen to the show here:
Additionally we talked about the ways you might be able to get a stink out of something that can’t be washed.
Here are a couple of resources we mentioned:
Baking soda bindles. Andrew makes his own out of dryer sheets.
Orange you glad you tried one of these? Citrus-based deodorizers and cleaners work using the solvent properties in these oils. Products like CitraSolv can be good for getting stinks out.
And here’s that WaPo article about how Febreeze works. It’s very interesting!
As always, we love to hear from you. Do you do some cleaning just at night? Or only in the light of day? Or only when your kids are finally doing something that doesn’t require your attention? Tell us about it!
So glad to be back.
