Germaphobe Finds Disgusting Secret in Un-Hygienic Oven | Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners | Filth

A quarter of people in Britain are so obsessed with cleanliness and order that they spend two and a half hours or more each weekday on household chores, with many forced to adhere to strict cleaning regimes and rituals. I would never think of just putting them straight in the fridge, if I didn't wash them I would feel like they had germs on them, but for most Brits, keeping the house clean and tidy is not a priority as the average kitchen chopping board has three times more faecal bacteria than the average toilet, this is really really bad this is the worst house I've ever been in Linda Dykes, 47, is an

obsessive

cleaner from North Wales.

Linda loves cleaning so much that she has turned it into a business. What can shine, will shine. Linda believes that people's compulsion to clean should be put to good use at that time if we fail. Her vision is to team up with an army of cleanliness-obsessed volunteers so they can clean up Britain, one dirty house at a time, together we will clean up Britain. Mom, VHS says no one watches VHS. but can people with such opposing attitudes toward cleanliness, oh my god, that's more than rubbish, really work together to transform their lives? This is horrible, I'm shaking, it's

disgusting

and I'm understanding myself more and more. in Norwich Hello, I'm Linda James to personally inspect the home of a potential volunteer for her army of

obsessive

cleaners

.

I have a big thing about toilets. I want to lift the lid. I'll show you the inside of my toilet. Oh, that's white. I like it. Yes, I'll like it, okay, James, 37, lives with her husband Christopher and is obsessed with the need to clean and maintain order. I spend about three hours a day cleaning the house, there is always not a day that goes by in which to clean it. It has to be done daily I roughly clean my bathroom, I would say probably about four times a day this floor is swept probably about four five six times a day James is so obsessed with cleanliness that even the rafters of his 16th century house are vacuumed. diary, one of my little quirks, James' compulsion to clean is not just limited to his own house, even when he's in the pub he can't resist getting stuck in, it's in James' nature to clean, clean, clean.

I gave him a game. He took off his gloves and said go away, you can clean whatever you want, you can do the baths if you want, I'm not forcing you to do it, but you went and did them anyway, the husband at home, James, spends two whole months at home. year making sure your my home lives up to your exacting standards. I change my room about three times a week and it's nice to lie in a bed with a nice clean smell. I think a lot of people don't bother to do that. I'm sure there are people who could do it.

I live up to my standards, but I haven't met any yet. James will help Jody, a busy 36-year-old housewife who lives in Nantwich Cheshire with her partner Roger and her two young daughters. When it comes to cleaning, I describe myself as old and tidy. I tend to store things in closets behind closed doors just to grab them quickly. I don't think I cleaned the house from top to bottom. This kitchen hasn't been cleaned in a few months. I'm actually so embarrassed I've never cleaned my

oven

the house hasn't had a deep clean in the six years they've lived there and the state of the house is putting a strain on the couple's relationship you're cheating sit down I'd rather play with them and worry because of the clutter, it doesn't really bother me as an engineer, I'm used to having regimented filing systems, places to put things to go from that environment to home, it's hard to adjust, it frustrates me. look underneath there are chairs and things just hide underneath and it's always a fight it's never pleasant I'm going to be honest yes it does it just causes conflict we don't discuss it we shout at each other and it's quite unpleasant actually Roger has high expectations , well, I think he has high expectations of me, while he thinks I'm not doing simple things.

The couple is now so ashamed of their house that only close friends and family are invited to visit your mother. a neat freak i wonder if she judges us if she will look around again every time she comes to see roger and jody always helped i think they have done a brilliant job with the girls but i think it has been at the expense of the house , the scale of the work to be done on this house, the showroom conditions from head to toe would require a phenomenal amount of work, I couldn't do it alone, that's why it hasn't been done, um, yeah, we need help.

Obsessively clean James has agreed to try to help Jodie put her house in order. Walking into a complete stranger's house, he's a little worried, afraid of not knowing what I'm going to face, but with his stress levels already rising, how will he cope with Jody's problems? attitude towards cleanliness hello hello yes hello I'm jody jodie jody hello I'm roger hello red okay sir the house has a lot of underlying problems here really like under the couch under the side well whatever the cushions you mean go on Are you Are you sure you've never thought about moving a cushion?

No, actually I haven't because we just sit there and things get pushed down and when I look to go underneath to fix it, it's just too much work to be honest, there's a lot of stuff behind it too, oh yeah, my life, um, I haven't dusted it, so everything is covered, boom, I mud every day, but it's because it's the front door, a lot of things come through it, that's how it gets up. Yes, yes, okay, yes, I have two small children. So it's a pretty busy house. How old are children two and four? So they are at school during the day.

One of them just started school and the other is at home. So what do you do all day? Do you have any children? No, there you go, there you go, a lot of people don't, um, who don't have kids or work full time, don't seem to think that what I do. What I'm doing is a job, um, cleaning isn't one of my priorities, my kids aren't worried about how much dirt they pick up and not even a little bit of dirt is good for them, right? well, not as much as this, okay, you can see there's quite a bit of clutter in, uh, yeah, day to day, day to day life, yeah, okay, this is the bathroom, right, um, and someone He hasn't flushed the toilet, lovely, oh. who was there last time, not me, sorry, that's the whole castle of having kids, yeah, okay, I'm probably going to choke now, aren't I?

Yeah, no, I haven't done the floors here, no, that's obvious, it's black tiles too, so it goes up. everything doesn't matter next and uh here's the kitchen okay so how often do you clean the kitchen? I don't like the chemical idea and no, I don't like to touch it, you don't like chemicals or you don't like to touch the chemicals that you put in it and no, I don't like to do it, obviously I don't know, it just doesn't work, um, I just cook, I serve and that's it, it's usually quite hot there after you've cooked well, the floor once again, I guess it's not cleaned here, no, the kitchen was bad just because there was a lot of grease and grime and I didn't dare open the kitchen to see what was inside, but the hot stuff was just

filth

and the floors, they say, I wouldn't want to walk barefoot on those.

It already bothers me, it doesn't have any more. concept of family life if they don't do their best then I'll get the hang of it and I'll be pretty tough on them linda dykes is teaming up with a volunteer army made up of the country's most obsessive

cleaners

in a bid to clean Britain the way you like it Me, yes, everything has to be in order, right? In the kitchen, Christy, 31, from Orpington, runs her own dating agency from the flat she shares with her husband and her two teenage children. She cleans the floor from top to bottom. twice a day here's the handle, but for some strange reason everyone in this house likes to put big, dirty fingerprints on it and it drives me crazy.

I have to clean the house, it's my microwave, no fingerprints, door handles, no fingerprints, light switches, no fingerprints every morning. without fail I go to look for some kitchen paper and I review all this everything has to be in order like the socks the pants the clothes I have order in my drawers and that's how I keep all the washed clothes all the socks are folded in balls all the pants short and they're folded the same way oh I just can't stand having a bunch of clutter everywhere with clutter I'd probably be confused in the head if everything wasn't in order and not everything was tidy.

I just want everything to be nice and clean and tidy. Christy's husband Michael works as a heating engineer, but his dirty work clothes don't sit well with obsessive cleaner Christy. Every time he walks in she is behind me the moment she walks in the door cleaning, yuck, she sanitizes everything he does. he touched and has strict systems to prevent his dirty clothes from contaminating the house. Everyone, oh dear, thank you. Michael will come home from work and sit in the front room, but he knows he shouldn't sit on the couch with his pants on. Because of all the germs and stuff in the houses he's been in, I'm going to have to drop my pants and sit with Christie.

She obsessively avoids dirt outside the home. She can't train at her local gym without cleaning it first. I vacuumed the floor. gym because you're so close to all the film and the dirt on the floor, so instead of breathing, I got over it. My grandma thinks I'm obsessed, but she calls it odc, not ocd, I think she called it, I hope. bring order and cleanliness to other people's homes and maybe I can learn something from that too christy will help kaye and dilip who live in Kettering their house was once a corner shop but since it closed in 1995 it has become in a storage room for Kay's mess.

Everything I've owned for at least 20 years, if not longer, there are up to three million hoarders in the UK and Kay's horde is made up of thousands of ornaments and bits of bric-a-brac that she buys from charity shops every day. I don't stop, I tell you, I wonder why I do it, but I still go out and do it again. The space has also become an unloading area for anything she can't part with. Well, the disorder has deteriorated beyond measure. It's gotten to a point where you don't know where to start if you want to clear it up.

Christy is here to help, but will her four-day intervention be enough to make a dent in Kaye's 20-year accumulation of mess? Hi, I'm Kristy. kay hello nice to meet you welcome to our humble home I'm my husband dylan kristen hello hello please do how are you? cold I'll show you around come on welcome to this chaos okay and at one time this was a pool hall with Here's a medium sized pool table and you can use all of this. Don't look, this is a dining table. Wow, and it's meant to be a couch. I don't remember the last time we sat in it.

Will I show you the worst part? Oh, welcome. to my Aladdin's cave oh wow you like collecting things I just like to buy wow like many hoarders kay buys things because she doesn't like the idea of ​​them going to waste there are things that I have collected for years look, everything is full like this. Do you collect all the vases and also the flowers? I collect anything that appeals to me even if you're not going to use it. Do you still have it. I don't use anything. You don't use anything. Shopping. Do you barely use it?

Even the clothes I buy I don't wear, oh it's the same with clothes and here's a massage chair we bought about 20 years ago, still in the book, never opened it, even oh wow my hair is proof that you have never seen. a lot of things the mess is chaos it's floor to ceiling i think we're going to need a skip kay ruby ​​has arrived to meet christy christie nice to meet you i've been telling them for years you know just to get rid of everything before christy starts with housekeeping ruby ​​wants to tell you about an incident that happened in the old store and caused a change in her mother kay when I was about six years old I don't remember um yeah, a few years ago and it was um She, my parents, were stabbed by a guy who used to come to the store.

My dad was stabbed in the stomach several times and my mom, his hand and her arm, his leg and her stomach too, and you know it. It took them a long time to recover from all that. Did that happen here? Yes, yes, it was in this house, yes, but it definitely makes sense now. Yes, we all love to keep everything, so now we have to change that room. in a nice happy yes, absolutely yes, I had injuries to my knees and my legs, I had injuries everywhere and the doctor told me I had to keep walking, you know, a couple of hours every day, so I got bored a bit of walking down the street. so I came up with a plan to go to all the charity shops to make it more interesting and that's how I started buying things and then to make matters worse Kay and Dilip's son passed away but then my son died a few years ago I think which after that it got worse, I think I started buying more and more and more research has shown that stressful and traumatic events are common in people who hoard and Dilip thinks I'm doing it to fill the void but yeah no I know who knows,But one way or another, we'll figure it out, I hope.

I think the reason Kaye did this is because she's been filling the void because of the loss of her son, what happened to her and her husband, and you to get over that kind of thing. We have to be very strong and I mean you can't even contemplate what they've been through and how they've overcome it, but they have, so that's what it amounts to while we're here to fix this. The whole situation is collected more 30 million tonnes of rubbish are removed from our streets each year and flying dumps cost local authorities around £41.3 million a year to clean up, but professional cleaner Linda Dykes believes the army of obsessive cleaners can help Britain is at your level.

My own high standards I feel there are a lot of places in the UK that urgently need help and good clean people just don't care in their community these days so as cleaners with ocd yes we can clean it. however we can't do it alone we need the help of the community today she is taking on the challenge of cleaning Tower Hamlet Cemetery Park which urgently needs help it has a serious problem with flies litter and vandalism deal With burnt bins, smashed furniture being a frustrating part of my day because there is no need for people to set a bin on fire.

There's really no need for people to steal the stone or spray a place with graffiti. The park, which includes open spaces and an old cemetery, covers 33 acres. and only has one full time member of staff hi linda oh yes you're right linda has had the help of obsessive cleaning buddies richard and hayley thanks for coming ok you're right yes richard aged thirty seven , from Sandhurst is obsessed by the need to clean, order and maintain order, if there is a spectrum, there are the messy people at one end, there are the ordinary people in the middle and there is me at the other end, ultra tidy, ultra organized, ultra efficient, messy people who wind me up.

Hayley, a 27-year-old mother of three, was diagnosed with obsessive-

compulsive

disorder in 2007. Haley is so afraid of germs that she consumes up to 21 pairs of rubber gloves and 14 bottles of bleach a week, if the house smells to bleach, then I hope I will sleep it's like my little bubble like it protects me Good morning guys Hello, how are you? My name is Ken. I work here in the park. Hello and you are beautiful beautiful excellent. Nice to meet you Richard Richard Hayley Haley excellent brilliant well thank you for coming today. What I'm going to do is take a little tour to show you those things we need your help with, so follow me, let's go.

An old cemetery lies in the heart of the park and not even that is safe from vandalism. There is graffiti on the grave. this is one of the things I wanted to show you, it's not nice, I mean it's someone's family, yes, I would be very angry if it was someone else, yes, but the writing on it is not nice at all, I won't tell you what's up . Haley's OCD has contributed to her intense fear of death and particularly decaying flesh. It's just horrible that we're walking through dead bodies. I just don't like it. I feel very, very painful, but it's not dark.

I don't care, I don't like it, you don't believe in ghosts, yes absolutely, that's why I'm scared, I believe in you, I believe in boys and I say I'm not lying, would you feel better if I had sex? I came off that rock, I'm not being disrespectful here at all, I just don't feel comfortable and I think that's hugely disrespectful because and that's why I feel uncomfortable being here because at the end of the day, these are people's families. . I'd be gutted if it was my brother or something. Yes, removing anti-social graffiti costs the UK £1 billion a year and there is more dotted around the park.

There is a place for graffiti in society, but it's not in your post. It's stupid. Yes, Haley. I think you could handle graffiti. Can I use bleach? Bleach isn't the answer to all your problems, but it will clean it up. The park also has a serious fly problem. Let me get out of the rubble. I know it's getting mixed up. It must be eliminated. Not touching burned containers are also a stain on the landscape. I have a big problem with shiny things. You know, once they're cleaned, I shine them, so I think this shiny container would look great, it would be restored, right?

Yes, that's exactly it, Linda will be in charge of cleaning up the trash herself, but she has tasks in mind that will play to Richard and Haley's strengths, even if it might take them out of their comfort zones, so Richard, I'd like you to do the trash first. leave me in the bin, yes, but I want it prestige, you will be, yes, shiny, shiny, hayley, I want you to do the um, take the sex off the tombstone, okay, can we do it?, yes, pretty, yes, thank you, we'll do it, come on, break up and we're at his obsessive cleaner james's first day in nantwich at home james spends 30 hours a week cleaning his house jody's two bedroom house hasn't had a deep clean in the six years it's been there there good morning, come in thanks, james The strategy is to start in the area he thinks is the dirtiest in Jody's house.

The kitchen, eh, today's plan no longer has any cracks, yes, start breaking the kitchen first. I think first at home, James cleans his kitchen every time he uses it. It's me. I'm sorry. Seriously, sick Jodie's

oven

has never been cleaned and the countertop is rarely cleaned, even the lid is just my hands are so sticky now yeah, oh that's going to take a bit of a blast. You're right, yes, no, just yes, I just can. I left it, she can, yes, once this is done, I will feel a little more comfortable in the kitchen, let's try to get as much of that as possible now, just take away all the junk, yuck, it really stinks, don't you like the how is it?

I'm already looking, just no, I'm like this, this is

disgusting

, you've been cooking in it, yeah, but I don't need to clean it, look at that oil in the sink, I just think to clean up burnt food, James is a

germaphobe

. I take a risk and double down on chemicals, kitchen cleaner followed by oven cleaner, which is potentially dangerous. My eyes are watering, James, I'm going out, you know it well. Anyway, the closed lids are now so strong, they are so strong that they smell. Honestly, those fumes are still in my nose and boom boom boom with my head, I couldn't do it, I couldn't use that stuff and that's probably why it's my state.

I don't use chemicals, I just give it a quick wipe. It's over and I'm done, he's definitely immune to that bleach, well if he can't smell that smell right now, he did some kind of damage to his nose, I think anyway, with the oven now clean, James wants to take care of the rest from the kitchen. I have them, yes, I can't throw them away. They are Roger's good dish. Dog cone next to the cutlery. No, that's a nickname. The next one follows next to the cut. Oh, that makes a difference. So he's really pissing me off.

It's just pissing me off. See all this. things away I love this you really have to put in the effort you've been by that place a few times it's hard work what has now taken five and a half hours to clean up and that's with two of us so it's a 10 10 hour job just to clean a room in the house. I don't think she realizes the extent of the dirt and I just noticed something there, but she just left the sink, she just picked it up and put it down. Straight to the sink when after vacuuming and that's interesting, she cleaned, what a happy bunny, it's day two at Kettering and obsessive cleaner Christy has recruited some of Kaye's friends and family to help her clean up the mess and rubbish from the old store area and the old billiards. room right it's basically putting all the rubbish in the bin ok the ymca guys are coming tomorrow to pick it all up all the charities yeah so we have to take out all the big units and maybe the refrigerator that we also have to get through the door and we have to try for the last 20 years.

Kaye has been accumulating more and more possessions and, like most

compulsive

hoarders, she hasn't been able to throw anything away. Oh my god, I like them. I love these bags. Can I ask when was the last time I never used it you never used it I never used double knives so we say goodbye, we'll give it to a nice new home and someone else will be walking around with the bag all this pride and prejudice videos, I thought mom, VHS says that no one watches VHS anymore. Christy take her home. Christy cleans her house from top to bottom twice a day.

Kay's old store has never been cleaned. Oh, this is so gross. Don't know. I think this is like mouse droppings or wrapper droppings oh that's gross right don't touch it I actually need gloves yeah um and we need it so obviously there are some mice around here or something. Can we get rid of this? this in the sketch protects the front oh my god, I feel so bad inside me now oh my god, how come if all those things hadn't been there, I would have seen that I'm not going to have a mess, yeah? Did you hear that in Tower Hamlet Cemetery Park it is the day of the big cleanup?

Hey guys, Cemetery Park. Thank you very much for coming. Park Officer Ken has rounded up some local volunteers to help Linda Richard and Hayley with the cleanup we need to get started. Today I want this park to be a park that everyone can be proud of I agree that it's great, let's start solving the order of linda richard obsessed in charge of renovating the burn bin I think the first thing we should do is probably distribute the wire brushes. It's a good scrape, so if we all grab a wire brush, I think that's where we'll start before they can give it a new coat of paint.

They need to prepare the surface. We are racing against the clock. I really think we will all be there. Well, the only thing that's going to happen to us is maybe the drying time of the paint. Oh, look at that bleach. Bleach-loving Hayley has been given the task of cleaning anti-social graffiti from the 125-year-old headstone. Local conservationist David is lending a hand. What do you think he will accomplish with the bleach? It's just that the best place to use it would not be here because of the wildlife around the area, so we would have to clean it another way to make it clean.

We can't use bleach. Oh man, I'm going to wear two pairs of gloves all night. It makes me feel better if I can't use bleach. What do we do with this? I have never used sandpaper. The closest I get to something like that is like a nail. file this isn't doing anything right and it will load it looks like it's uploading slowly how long do you think this will take not long enough that's just coming out now so how are you feeling now? Do you feel more comfortable here? I'm not going to let them chase me because I'm doing a good deed, yes exactly, and John Fowler loves you for that, yes, with the container now clean, Richard and his team are preparing it for a top coat, okay, let's go , let's print.

We could bring Linda here to talk at the dumpster and dry it faster with the headstone free of graffiti and the dumpster drying. Linda enlists Hayley and Richard to help with the fly dumping and garbage. Be careful, oh my god, it stinks, that smell smells a little like urine too no, no, yes, it does, no, no, you make it up as you go, you do it, are you going to take them? Still, I am, for God's sake, I have damn gloves on, yeah, I bored you. size I hate you I actually hate you look it's just that it has a pill no, it's not good that crotch looks like it's been weeding I know yeah, it's okay, here we go look, that was someone's pride and joy one day oh, it's rolling the fly tilt it's the illegal dumping of waste on land that isn't licensed to accept it if they get caught tipping tippers they can be fined up to £50,000 perfect that's a big win I was sitting there looking ugly now in the bin, it's james the obsessive cleaner's second day in nantwich and today he wants to tackle jodie's living room, starting behind the sofa, which hasn't been cleaned once in the six years the family has lived in the house , let's take it out and see if we can find a body behind here, oh my God, that's more. that's just garbage that's where my phone went what what there's no food oh that's disgusting where where the bread surprises me I really am I'm too much bread there you haven't had mice in your house this is shocking and that's not even up to par half There are still more things under the sofa.

A garbage bag is needed. You're not going to keep all that garbage. No, no, they are all children. They are not all children. I'm going to put on some marigold gloves to collect all this stuff. Do you want your old mobile phone? Yeah because you obviously missed it no it's the girl's toy and I've been looking for it to be honest I'll just throw some more rubbish down there well she'll go to bed anyway it kind of defeats the object, it is very difficult to throw. this couch and I have two small children who have other things on their minds instead of cleaning properly and they are going to get a severe reprimand for this if I ever see them putting something behind the couch again you can't completely blame the kids becauseThese are all toys These are all toys Not all toys I'm struggling to see much more than just toys To be honest with you I really feel like you're judging me now I'm not judging you I just think you're winning a little.

How am I right? A bit. It's very difficult to go as far as you saw. I know, but there are so many things. shaking oh this is horrible come on because this is where I live here I'll be sitting live on this couch and this is what I've been living under it's disgusting and I'm getting more and more understanding with myself I knew it I was picking up I could feel it I could smell mold I could smell it musty behind I'm really embarrassed it's that this is full it's disgusting I would never have lived like this never if I had known it just wasn't maybe I did I don't know what was that bad, but I've been hiding behind it.

Well, you knew it was so bad, honey, because that's why you called my help. I changed my mind now I don't want to do it it's just a bit of a mess okay I just need a minute I don't want to do it right now it's gross I'm going to look like a dog sweeping so I keep sweeping yeah I'll pull the plug on this the things James was saying um I was surprised there weren't any rats or mice in there really struck a chord with me how disgusting and how dirty he really looked disgusted and surprised , I just want it to go away now.

Hi James, I'm back, see, it's weird, I feel like we've swapped personalities. James helped me. Well, you're all relaxed and happy about it, even when I'm the one who gets stressed and angry about it a couple of times. Of the things that you pointed out, like there were rats there, that was like a trigger for me and suddenly I'm going to say: is he right? and it's actually not right because we're here, we've cleaned it up, we didn't do it there. nothing was found I could immediately see that there were only children's toys and some toast I think you're wrong I think you got angry because you're embarrassed all I can say is that I felt like a mirror and I just absorbed all your energy, That's not a nice place to be and I wouldn't want to live like that and I don't want you to live like that either.

I wouldn't want to live as if this counseling would probably help. You, oh no, no, we don't do counseling, I would never in a million years do counseling. I'm seeing flaws in myself. I've seen that I've kept my eyes off the ball and just wait. the journey may be the same for you anyway let's move on i don't know why jody said those things to me frankly i don't care because i would live in a

filth

hole anyway so i was trying to push back a little because of the shame of what he saw and he put it, he blamed me a little bit, I don't think he needs counseling, uh, personally, he completely denies it, he's just me, this is me, I'm not going to change, it's really frustrating. but he just doesn't see it, he doesn't see the effect that he has on people, he just wants to take action and move on today and that's it, I guess I don't think he's really too upset to look at his problems.

In Tower Hamlets the cemetery park clean-up is almost finished These are the finishing touches A council official is due to inspect the work at any moment So Linda and her team face off and have finally let Haley loose with the bleach Can you smell? that, oh my good sir, I love it, the head of parks, michael rowan, has arrived to check on the team's work, michael, I'm Richard, it's a pleasure to meet you, hello, and you're right, yes, we've been busy today, the old headstone that was defaced with graffiti is now back to its former glory and the park signage is now graffiti free too, so we've put some effort and graffiti remover in there, I think it's fantastic, yes brilliant, thank you , welcome, big difference, nice and the The clean team has done a rubbish selection in the park and the area that was ruined by the flies is now clear.

This looks different. You are playing? It doesn't seem the same at all. No no? Oh that's great, great job guys, fantastic. and the burned container has been cleaned, primed and repainted. We have transformed the container. I mean, it looked terrible, but I think you'll agree it looks a little better. It was new, almost well made, guys, good job, thanks. Sir, thank you, it is a cleaner and more pleasant environment for people to enjoy. Yes, I feel great in four hours. We have absolutely transformed this park into a place where people can come and feel good about themselves, feel happy about it.

My army of OCD cleaners has been exceptionally overachieving. today we did it in Kettering Christie and her team of helpers have almost finished cleaning out Kay's old shop and forming a pool hall oh my goodness, yes, okay, I felt a little lost because I haven't had anything to clean, it's I've just been moving things around, so now this is where I'm going to whirl. I'm at home with this smell, yes it's my favorite smell in the whole world. If my husband used his aftershave, I love it, I love the smell, he said. She cleans her house from top to bottom twice a day she twice she said: Don't you have anything else to do?

Yes, I have my own business, I run a dating agency and then I run my husband's business, you do this twice a day throughout the entire process. If he lived here, no, yes, no, everything would be done every day. Are you afraid of germs, Christie? I'm really not afraid. I simply do not wish to associate with them. Oh, I don't have them in me. home your immune system needs practice you know that not all germs are bad you need some of them still for your immune system to practice I never get sick germs are part of creation they are part yes, stop being afraid of them look what you say look look I was just there reading this look look what he did work but don't forget to live I'm in bed halfway with a hot chocolate my science that's it now this is my point you're doing home twice a day so you're handling all these businesses, but It's time for you, I don't have time to know, please find time for yourself, you are really making me feel sad so everything should be kept clear but not in an obsessive way.

Your children are now teenagers and will be gone soon, enjoy them while they are with you, that is the only advice I can give you. Kay lost her son when she was a teenager and her advice has left an impression on Christy, who suffered the loss of her mother when she was younger. In fact, I now accept that I've probably been cleaning this whole time because of my own losses and I need to let it go. In fact, I thought nothing would make me stop cleaning and now I realize it. I've been cleaning for the same reason Kate has been decluttering and picking things up to fill a void and I've been doing exactly the same thing for different reasons in Kettering.

It's Christy's last day of cleaning in her own house and she hasn't been able to. I live with any mess or dirt, which has meant obsessively cleaning twice a day, but this morning in a hotel something has changed. Look at my messy room again. I've never had anything like this on the floor or anything called on the sides and you know what I don't mind? This is how I feel. Oh, hello, you're here. Yes, I have many things to tell you. Seriously, last time I left all my wet towels on the hotel room floor. the night is a disaster I don't care it's gone it's sunken I promise yes, you look much happier this morning I don't feel any tension from you and how your head feels with all this it's okay, it's okay, yes, I feel a lot best We are not finished and this is just the beginning.

Well thank you very much. Okay, at Jody's house in Nantwich, it's the last day of cleaning and James is in a last-minute effort to make sure the place is spotless before Roger's mother arrives. to see the final result hello hello three days ago the living room was dirty, messy and neglected and six years with the rubbish accumulated behind the sofa oh my goodness, that looks absolutely incredible, I can see the floor, this is really good, well done , Oh my God. God, we had to take the couch out and we found a whole box of toys behind it, there were a lot of toys, they weren't there, yeah, it was absolutely dirty, we called it the couch door, yeah, oh yeah, look at that, it's spotless, she really has worked hard, I can see there's a lot of work in it, yes, but let's move on to the kitchen, so when James arrived the oven had never been cleaned and the counter was covered in burnt food and grease, oh my goodness that's very bright.

It's very bright now, isn't it? Is really nice. I usually have to clear a space to make a cup of coffee and then find a cup and wash it. Sorry, don't regret it. Okay, look at the kitchen looking shiny, that's really nice. when I walked in I almost threw up, I have to be honest, I was almost sick, no, everything is ready, just a quick shake when you're done cooking and it will stay that way, and one more thing before I leave, I want you to sit down. tonight or over the weekend fix a cleaning rotor no excuses because I don't want to come back yes sir okay okay good luck received all the best see you later good luck see you keep up the good work bye, it's like a A different house looks fantastic, it's really clean, sparkling, shiny and tidy, it's lovely, it's been a really good learning curve for me, yeah, and on those days when you're struggling, I have to step up and contribute more than that more than I have been, yeah I feel like I just moved back in, that's exactly what I feel, I just moved out and back in, yeah I think everyone should have an obsessive compulsive cleaner in his life, has done wonders for us.

Yes, like a fairy godmother, I am proud of myself for the things I faced that would have scared me before going into that kitchen, including a kitchen I wouldn't have touched before, I cleaned the back of that couch, which was horrible. I wouldn't have even gone there, even having a cup of tea at his house was a big step for me, so I'm very proud of what I've achieved. I'm really impressed with Jody, I now think she's come on leaps and bounds this week and now that she's seen the end result, I really think she'll continue that at Kettering.

Christie's time at K's is almost over now that the old shop area and the old pool room have been cleaned and cleaned, it's time for finishing touches Kate's daughter Ruby has come to see the results. OMG, just four days ago, Kate's mess covered every surface and the former store space was lost under thousands of pieces of trinkets. What do you think? My God, you recognize it. yeah oh this is garbage god they been at this all day today all day this is amazing man yeah it's Christy and you didn't even thank yourself much for the clutter free space kay now she has a room she can relax in, your head it's still confusing, no, yes he will feel quite relaxed and at peace, I could really sit and meditate now, you can go like that too, it's lovely now and the old pool room is now a usable space that the whole family can enjoy. but what do you think of this room?

It's amazing, it's really hot in here too and this is the pool table, isn't it? Hi guys, I'm delighted, I'm delighted with everything we've achieved, everyone has done a brilliant job and the main point is that Kay is very happy because she has taught me a lot and I don't really think she wants to keep cleaning, that's what I've learned, life is too short, so you
