125: Rumply Stiltskin

Thanks to John Wilson and “How To with John Wilson,” I now know that there’s a vacuum convention and holy moly, these folks are…something else.

Incredible. If you have HBO/MAX/Whatever, I highly recommend the episode called “How To Watch The Big Game.” It’s so good.

Anyway, we also talked about these German vacuums that have bags and are really retro and cool - are they better? We don’t know, but our listener really liked them. And I mean, look at these PRINTS.

IN OTHER NEWS, are you a starch person? Or are your rumply? Here’s the recipe to make your own spray starch for curtains and other crispy textiles. It’s been many many years since I had to starch a theatrical pinafore but I vaguely remember it being fairly simple. Should I find something to starch just to demo for the pod? Probably!

As always, we want to hear from you. Tell us about your vacuum, about starch, about weird cleaning adventures, and whatever else you want. You know the deal. 508-HOW-WASH is the Spotline. We’re here for you!
