Spotless

Hanna and Andrew find out why a Scrub Jockey has been taking a broom into the shower lately. Plus, Hanna has a Laundry Room Mystery she needs your help with. And Andrew goes down a vacuum cleaner memory lane.

Andrew dug into a project this weekend that he promises not to talk about. Andrew also loves breaking promises. Hanna's living with a new foster dog and has the most important tool in the toolbox for dog owners. And a Scrub Jockey shares a very fond memory of cleaning up after holiday parties.

Hanna and Andrew discuss the strange bliss of cleaning up after a big party (possibly with a cold hot dog hanging out of your mouth while you do the dishes.) They also offer an ode to magnets, possibly the Scrub Jockey's best friend.

Hanna makes a deal with the dirt devil to replace her hand with a cleaning tool. A disagreement between spouses teaches Andrew a valuable lesson about dishwashers. And my god, how can anyone even think about cleaning or not cleaning while our democracy crumbles around us and our freedoms are taken away by a council of religious zealots? (But you still might want to sweep your front stoop.)

Hanna recently stayed in an AirBNB with a LOT of cleaning rules. Andrew recently refurbished his ancient cast iron skillet and he won't shut up about it. A Scrub Jockey calls in (from her closet, for some reason) with some hot takes on garbage disposals. And, in the War On Dandelions, we all must take a side.

The Spotline is filled with listeners weighing-in on the benefits vs frustrations of in-sink garbage disposals and with advice on composting in the city. Plus, Anna in Seattle finds a magical solution to cleaning up driveway stains!

Hanna and Andrew debate the usefulness of garbage disposals and whether or not you should remove a measuring spoon from its ring before you use it. They also critique some tips on how to clean your cleaning tools.

A TikTok suggesting that we should wash our toilet seats in the dishwasher has generated outrage, and Hanna and Andrew find themselves at opposite ends of this cultural divide. Plus, Andrew explains "The Kubota Principle," a chores-related lesson he learned at a young age.

Relationships and cleaning…the two are inseparable, as we well know. Hanna and Andrew dig into an article by someone who says he lost his marriage because he didn't wash his dishes, but there may be more to it than that. And a Scrub Jockey presents an amazing (and actually fun!) way to divvy up chores.

Hanna and Andrew try to help a Scrub Jockey whose dating life may be stymied by an unclean bedroom. They also find out what happens when a homeowner starts hammering random holes into their walls looking for a stinky smell.
