Spotless

Hanna and her family are ALL IN on a new type of towel (well, new to them anyway.) And Andrew looks for answers to the big questions of 2020, like "What is a 'deep clean', anyway?" and "Do we need to disinfect our groceries?"

What do you do when there are no more cleaning products left in the grocery store, except one weird-ass bottle of something you've never seen before? Well, you buy it, and then you call the Spot Line for help! Hanna and Andrew help listeners navigate this and other cleaning situations unique to the age of self-quarantine.

Hanna offers some helpful advice to a jittery nation that is suddenly obsessed with cleaning and sanitizing. We also hear an absolute horror story about a listener's inherited workspace. And Bob Villa (dot com) tries to help those cursed with bathroom carpeting.

We hear stories of unclogging ducts, de-molding air conditioners, and fixing towels that have lost some of their absorption powers. Also, Andrew gives the AnyList app a spin around the grocery store and reports back with a full review.

Hanna and Andrew get a lot of advice from the Scrub Jockeys today, including how to "vibe" into a grocery store and the best way to find tiny objects that have fallen to the floor. They also try to help a listener get decades-old soot off of his fireplace mantel. And Hanna wants to form an indoor soccer team called The Seattle Suds.

The Scrubjockeys SHOWED UP this week with advice on teaching kids to clean up, why its easy to live without a microwave, and some critical front-loading washer tips. And Hanna and Andrew are accused of ignoring a critical component in their cleaning routines.

Andrew encountered a very disturbing site in a workplace kitchen last week (when he wasn't staining hotel towels beyond recognition.) Meanwhile, Hanna has some questions about Formula 409, a listener has some creative solutions for cleaning period underwear, and the Big Chill offers some insights into 1980's cleaning techniques.

Hanna is back from Scotland, where she met Mr. Clean's cousin. Plus, listeners (including Hanna's dad) try to convince Andrew to buy an InstaPot. And we learn how to use a potato to remove rust.

Hanna and Andrew review some holiday cleaning (and ornament storage) tips. Plus, the Scrub Jockeys share their own impressive grocery list strategies. And a special guest drops by....from the living room.

Hanna, Andrew and the Scrub Jockeys all have strong opinions about who should wash the dishes after holiday parties. Plus, a challenge to Hanna's "Winter Light" theory leads to a question about duct cleaning.
