Get ready to roll up those sleeves because this Saturday we’re diving headfirst into the chaotic world of holiday cleaning! Yep, that’s right, we’re tackling the pre-holiday cleaning frenzy that’s bound to happen before your mother-in-law shows up armed with her white gloves. Eric G. is teaming up with Ed Quinlan, the big cheese at Chem Dry, to chat about how to get those carpets, area rugs, and that shower you’ve been avoiding cleaner than a whistle—without any of that shampoo nonsense. Spoiler alert: It’s not about suds and bubbles; it’s all about optimized chemistry. And if that wasn’t enough, we’re also bringing in lawyer extraordinaire Joseph Brinkman to spill the beans on how to hire someone to work on your home without losing your sanity (or your wallet). So, if you’ve ever thought, “What could possibly go wrong with my home project?”—this episode is definitely for you!

The holidays are creeping up on us like that one relative who overstays their welcome at family gatherings. As we gear up for the ‘round the house show this weekend, we’re diving headfirst into the holiday chaos. Eric G. is joined by Ed Quinlan, the head honcho at Chem Dry, and they’re tackling the not-so-glamorous topic of pre-holiday cleaning. Yes, we’re talking about those carpets that haven’t seen a vacuum since last Thanksgiving and the tile shower that’s been dodging your cleaning spree like a ninja. With Ed’s expert tips, you’ll learn how to clean all those surfaces that have been quietly judging you all year long. It’s time to prepare for the inevitable white glove inspection from your mother-in-law. So, if you want to dodge the snarky comments about your dusty corners, tune in and let’s get those surfaces sparkling!

In the second hour of the show, we switch gears from scrubbing floors to hiring professionals—because who doesn’t love dealing with contractors, right? Eric G. sits down with Joseph Brinkman, an associate attorney who knows all the legal ins and outs of home improvement contracts. They’ll explore how to hire someone for your home projects without ending up in a soap opera of drama and disaster. Let’s face it, nobody wants to be the star of a reality show where the plot revolves around contractor mishaps. Joseph gives us the lowdown on the essential documentation you need to protect yourself, because trust me, a handshake and a smile won’t cut it when the job goes south.

So mark your calendars for Saturday’s episode where we’re dishing out laughs, practical tips, and maybe a few horror stories from the trenches of home maintenance.
