Spotless

If you're a cop, you have to tell us! Andrew admits to a cleaning-related crime involving a pitchfork, some bad shrimp, and the world's most disgusting yard waste bin. Meanwhile, Hanna's mom is FIRED UP, and some Scrub Jockeys weigh in on discolored towels and Hollywood's betrayal of curly-haired women. 

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.

Hanna and Andrew celebrate the humble garden hose and all of its glorious uses. Plus, a Scrub Jockey brings the hottest hot take on folding laundry, and Hanna brings back Rated C For Clean, in which she and Andrew scrutinize and grade Norman Bates' scrubbing skills

Bissell wants us to start vacuuming our dogs with their new Dog Vacuum. We reach out to an industry expert for analysis. (Okay, it's Hanna's sister, and she hates this thing.) Plus, Andrew is very excited about a sink, because of course he is, and Hanna has a bug problem that's really been (wait for it….) bugging her! HA!

Some big changes in Andrew's life means some new cleaning challenges ahead! He and Hanna also hear from a visually impaired listener who's developed specific systems for avoiding messes. And the Scrub Jockeys have lots of advice for Donna, who's been dealing with a mouse-in-the-house situation.

Andrew finally comes face-to-face with a cleaning situation he's been dreading for years. Plus, in honor of Valentine's day, Hanna and Andrew try to help a couple with (let's say) differing philosophies about household recycling.

What appliance could you never live without? Coffee maker? Vacuum? STOVE? Hanna and Andrew review one Scrub Jockey's definitive list, from least-useful to most. And they try to help a listener who is FREAKING OUT after an unwanted discovery in her home.

Hanna Brooks Olsen just got a brand new appliance in her kitchen, and it came along with something even better: Validation. She and Andrew also discuss the ridiculous things they cram into their pockets while they're cleaning. And they try to help a Scrub Jockey clean her dang air fryer thingy. 

Hanna and Andrew are back to talk about Vacation Cleaning, Ice Balls, and the projects we put off forever, until we finally snap at midnight and start tearing the entire house apart. Plus, a Scrub Jockey tells us about her fascinating job as a Cleaning Scientist (our words, not hers.)

Hanna and Keith's relationship reached new cleaning-related heights this week, inspiring Andrew to write a rom-com screenplay. Plus, one Scrub Jockey is using her mop in a whole new way, and another has to deal with a 60-pound sack of beef. 

Andrew learns all about dishwashers -- possibly too much -- and wants to share his findings with Hanna and the Scrub Jockeys. Plus, S.O. S.O.S. is back with a small disagreement over a laundry basket.

A dog-sitting gig puts Hanna face-to-face with a grimy lifestyle that she and Andrew can't quite wrap their minds around, as much as they try to be open-minded. They also investigate a couple of TikTok cleaning trends, one of which proves to be dubious.

In the spirit of Halloween, we asked listeners for their cleaning-related horror stories. And they delivered. Almost too well.

A new product by a cleaning supply company has Andrew baffled and somewhat worried. But Hanna calms him down. Plus, Scrub Jockey Lauren solves the Case of the Mystery Body Odor. And a couple of listeners are dealing with the unenviable task of cleaning up after losing loved ones. 

Do you have a special Cleaning Outfit you wear when you're doing chores? Hanna and Andrew do, but they're not sure if that's normal. Plus, Hanna stumbles on the compelling world of Swedish Death Cleaning. And her mom has beef with Andrew's favorite cleaning product.

Hanna is cleaning her plants, Andrew has an idea for a new TV genre, and a Scrub Jockey drunk-dials the Spot Line in the most wonderful way. Oh, and Andrew's house almost burned down after a simple home project, nbd.
