180: Cable Scraps

It’s true — somehow, we managed to miss the OBVIOUS Spatula City reference last week. UGH! Never again!

Anyway, this week, we’re talking about cleaning up after a loss. Specifically, what items you take and which you leave. Andrew has found himself picking up every charging cable left behind. Why? Who knows. Grief is weird. Listen to the pod and then tell us all about your experience. Next week, we’ll be diving into your voicemails about the subject of cleaning after death:

Speaking of Listener #1 Julie, we went to a fragrance fest together in Portland! Here are a couple of the fantastic vendors we found at cruelty-free vegan fragrance market:

• Haute Candles, who make Nag Champa difusers

• Sound Fragrances, who make contributions to conservation efforts

• BoticaBotanica, who create fragrances, teas, and candles

• Treading Water Perfumes made a truly glorious scent called Judith that is my new go-to

And of course, we want to hear from you! How do you handle all the odds and ends that people leave behind? What about digital cleaning? Have you ever had to wade through someone’s old photos or other online artifacts? Send us a memo or call us: 1-800-HOW-WASH.
