70: If You See Something, Scrub Something

Me to me after being forced to not clean for a few days.

Sometimes our program is more…therapeutic than others. Today, as we slowly emerge from the HEAT DOME is one of those days. But don’t worry, we talk about important cleaning stuff, too, like…

• Do you need a salad spinner? Do you even have room for a salad spinner? What exactly IS a salad spinner?

• How do you cope when you know you NEED to clean, but you just can’t (because it’s One Trillion Degrees in your house or because of depression or who knows what else)? How does the need to clean get compounded by the inability to clean?

• Is it OK to clean your friend’s house for them? What if you ask very nicely? What if they’re out of town? What if their house is truly gross and you might die if you darken the threshold but you care deeply for them?

• What happens if you put your extraction cleaner away without properly cleaning it? Spoiler: IT’S FUCKIN GROOOOOOOOOOOSS.

Listen to all of that on today’s show:

We also talked about this very fancy ice thingy that Andrew is tempted to buy (there are much less expensive versions around the web, too, because lol who needs to pay this much for frozen water) and the moment that broke me during the heat because I could barely do anything. YOWZA.

I would have if I had actually been able to sleep.

Per usual, we love to hear from you! Especially if you are a.) a cleaning professional, b.) someone who has cleaned a friend’s house for them, or c.) a person who, like me, would actually be very upset with someone who came to clean your house because THEY WOULD NOT DO IT RIGHT.
