What do you get when a music critic shares a home with a laundry and cleaning expert?  

Some cool playlists for cleaning house, for sure.   

Ross Raihala became the Pioneer Press pop music critic in 2004, just a year before he met his longtime partner Patric Richardson. Over the two last decades, Richardson went on to open a vintage designer clothing store and become the go-to expert for laundry dilemmas and stubborn stains.

MPR News host Angela Davis continues her Power Pair series with a conversation about the couple who can turn house cleaning into a disco party — their careers, how they met and how they support each other.
