89: Fluffy and Fold

It’s a known fact that we love dogs. I’ve personally been running a kind of dog hotel since my own dog shuffled off this mortal coil in October. Andrew has never had a dog, but he has been known to retreat into the the far recesses of a party to have a deep chat with a dog.

But we also know that dogs = more cleaning. Maybe that’s…maybe that's why we love them? Like because they give us more reasons and things to clean? What does that mean? Hold on, I need to make a note for my next therapy session.

Anyway, some people don’t understand this and as a result, we have a situation like the one that our caller has found herself in. Which is that a man with a dog doesn’t realize that his sheets, which the dog sleeps on, need to be laundered.

Which brings up an interesting question: How often should you wash your sheets? And do the comforters need to be washed as often? And is there a hard and fast rule for linens, or is it just as-needed?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT, Y’ALL.

In other news, if you have a stinky mouse-house situation, should you let your (now ex) husband take a hammer to the wall? Probably not. Though we understand the desire. A caller tells her tale of a woe regarding a deceased critter, a stink, and male rage.

PLUS! A lengthy conversation about how to clean an apartment when you move out — and how renters have relatively few rights when it comes to getting their deposits.

As always, we love to hear from you. 508-HOW-WASH is the line.
