From igniting now-obsolete pilot lights to debating whether it’s worth cleaning rollers anymore, the conversation explores how home maintenance has evolved. Plus, find out why newer appliances just don’t last like they used to and how something as simple as disposable gloves have revolutionized DIY repairs.
