161: Vacuum Attachment Disorder

Don’t feel bad, Dirt. Some of us are just stubborn!

Listen, we’ve all flailed when it comes to vacuum cleaner attachments. We’ve all fumbled and attached and reattached various little brushes and other bits. What’s the deal with the felt? Why are some of them shaped like feet and some of them shaped like a squeegee? Surely there’s a manual that I recycled one million years ago.

Imagine, then, that you’re Lil Andrew Walsh and you’ve just learned that you actually have been using your vacuum attachments correctly all along!!! That’s what happened in today’s episode.

In other news, it’s our first Rated B for Books! Today we convene a little book club thanks to a listener with a very cool partner who has very good taste in literature. Our listener was kind enough to read us a passage from “The Lighthouse,” which features a poignant cleaning scene. We thought you all could us it!

We also learn this week about Andrew’s love of 1990s office space photos (???) and dove into an easy way to set a cleaning intention. Instead of focusing on your whole-ass house, pick one doom corner and solve it. What do you think?

As always, we love to hear from you. Read us a story! We’d love it.
