68: Bad Chair Day

Last week, we talked about The Chair — that place in your home for your clothing items which exist somewhere on the spectrum of “clean enough for the dresser” and “definitely hamper-bound.”

These “half-cleans,” as one listener has named them, tend to accumulate in one specific spot, often with a very clear hierarchy. But when is the Chair just too heaped? What is we could replace The Chair with a slightly neater system like, say, hooks?

Not that kind of Hook! These kinds of hooks:

Command Hooks: They can go everywhere!

IKEA hooks: Stylish and inexpensive

West Elm hooks if you’re a fancy bitch.

Listen to an honestly pretty long conversation about hooks and more:

Additionally, today we talked about such pressing matters as:

• My ongoing love affair with having a garden.

• Dog vomit and why Nature’s Miracle is, in fact, a dang miracle.

• Cleaning the things you clean with.

• Whether or not our toothbrushes should all wear little hats.

• If it’s possible to exorcise the ghost of spilled scents.

And we’ve got some questions for you! If you’ve got a great solution for:

• Car interiors and upholstery, specifically those which have been exposed to coffee

• Vacuums that can handle a slightly wet mess like, oh, say, I don’t know, dog barf

• What I should do with my ten billion aluminum toothpaste tab containers (see Insta for a photo!)

…We want to know! Call the Spotline at 508-HOW-WASH or send us a message via email or wherever else.

xoxo until next time!
