Meanwhile, use baking soda and vinegar, and simply don't tell him you did so. How would he know you did it? It's a case of "sometimes it's easier to ask forgiveness than to get permission". and if he doesn't know you did it, no forgiveness need be requested.

I will not admit to how often this happens to us. It's ridiculous. I have something I'm STILL looking for, after two weeks. Urrrrgggghhh. That "safe place" is going to be a real treasure trove, when I figure out where it is, ha!

Yup. We found $20 here, $50 there...it was
ridiculous. Nice little pot of spending cash, though, which we needed, to pay junk men and all that. I was worried, though, constantly, that I was accidentally throwing out
money, (Zoiks!) so it slowed
everything down, as we all diligently searched like, EVERY-thing.
EVERY-thing that had a pocket, a compartment, a drawer...oish.
