… for The American Dry Cleaning Company!
They have generously sponsored my entire social media output today and would like you to know more about the excellent services they offer, including but not exclusively:
- A take-down and re-hang service for your curtains
- FREE pick-up and drop off for shirts or huge things like duvets and pillows
- A membership service which gives members discounts and special offers
And the thing I like best: the Ozone Cabinet.
This is a box in ADC HQ where you put in the smelliest most disgusting thing in your house (dog toy, raggie, dog bed, sports shoes, moth-infested rug etc) and have it returned bacteria-free and smelling sweet!
They even once put Save The Children mascot Pudsey Bear in there.
There’s more!

NOW FOR SOME FUN!
Tell me: what’s the most disgusting thing in your house? The smelliest, nastiest thing. I will start: SAM’S SHOES.
It used to be Kitty’s shoes, which she so comprehensively trashed that I had to get her a new pair even though the old ones fit.
But now Sam’s shoes have moved into pole position; they STINK of old stagnant water and mud from where he has been playing football in the rain.
How about you? If you could put anything in the ADC Ozone Cabinet (aka THE CUPBOARD OF SHAME) what would it be? Please leave a comment in the handy box below.
Thank you for listening!
Can I put my dog in there? Her breath stinks of fish and I think she’ll be pleasingly fluffy when she comes out.
LOL
What is it with dog fish breath? Mine too, though he’s a Lab so I assumed it was genetic (do I mean generic?) water dog breath.
I honestly don’t know. Mine never eats fish, so I don’t know what the haddock stench is all about. She definitely needs ozone-cabineted.
My sofas. Within one six month period they had to endure one child potty training and a newborn with reflux who would projectile vomit at least three times a day. Add to that the smelly dog and farmer husband who sits on them BEFORE removing sheep-y clothes.
I’m waiting for the youngest to be potty trained then I am going to set them both on fire (sofas, not children) and cackle maniacally whilst watching them burn.
Rachel stop! I’m pretty sure ADC will come round and clean them in situ. I will find out
Well done you in finding sponsors. We have all benefitted from your largesse for years and it is time you found ways to get compensated!
Thank you Rosemary! They have been very relaxed and generous about what I do with the brief so it’s been fun! I hope the answers to the smelly question are funny for readers too xxxx
My husband’s leaking neoprene-lined wellies which have to be aired in the shed after wear. After a long walk I use them to strip paint.
Mostly all the pillows. I know you’re supposed to replace them every 20mins but honestly, who does? Esp if they’re the £££ down ones you got as wedding presents and will nevaire be able to justify replacing with same? Ozone Cabinet ftw.
Sophie! If you are in London and want to use their service don’t forget your discount! Everything in my house is now John Lewis micro fibre, which I feel doesn’t get as stenched out as feathers
Thank you. Might one wear single strap Birkies for such an outing??
The nappy bin! Thank goodness we have started potty training.
Ooh do you think they’ll do a buggy? Mine is so disgusting – full of ingrained vomit (cannot get it out of the cracks), mud, sand, and those disgusting carrot flavoured puff bribery-snacks which Organix insist are healthy but are basically just shit cheesy wot sits.
Yes absolutely – the cabinet is big! like a wardrobe xxx
When oh when will they open in Oxford? Desperate. My most disgusting thing is the dog’s bed, or Rex’s Nantucket slip-ons…
Maybe they are going to open in Oxford? don’t see why not it’s practically london
The kitchen sponge. Eww.. Must change more often. But really, nothing that a squirt of anti-bac won’t sort for us lazy girls..
It would be the Hippo mascot costume belonging to the small charity I work for. After being worn at lots of events, it’s rather grubby and honks inside, as it is made of fur fabric and completely unbreathable. (Great workout wearing it, especially in warm weather but oh! the stench of stale sweat.)
Not sure if it would fit in the box but it needs to…..
It will almost definitely fit in the box! if they got Pudsey bear in there…
My 9 month old daughter’s toy bunny that she has in her cot. She sucks the limbs and the tail as she falls asleep (ugh ugh ugh) and it STINKS. We were given so many stuffed animals when she was born and OF COURSE the one I randomly picked as a bedtime toy is limited edition and I can’t buy a duplicate. Too scared to wash it…
Oh man
Have you tried writing to the company and explaining. Sometimes they take pity…
These are making me stressy, I want to come round and clean all these things. (My darkest hour was machine washing and drying my daughter’s friend’s fabric lunchbox during an after-school play date, it went from dark grey to lilac)
I didn’t think I was a maniac, but maybe I am.
Well my husband is definitely the stinkiest thing in our house?? Can they help?
alas…
