Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners | FULL EPISODE | Series 1, Episode 1

Linda Dykes, 47, is an

obsessive

cleaner from North Wales. They call me OCD, oh you better believe it. Obsessed with shine. Linda spends an entire month a year making Sparkle faucet, which can shine, shine and clean 24 hours a day, at any time. day or night it's five in the morning and I start taking out the damn vacuum cleaner and then washing and washing and you know, and Linda is not alone, a quarter of the people in Britain are so obsessed with cleaning and tidying , but they spend two and a half hours or more every weekday on household chores and many feel obligated to adhere to strict regimens and rituals.

I don't wash the bathroom with my hand because I only have dead skin cells and stuff for the stick that she told me you have. be in sync with each other, but for most of us keeping our homes clean and tidy is not a priority, as the average British kitchen chopping board has twice as much faecal bacteria as the average toilet bowl, there's dog poop on the carpet and more than half. a million of us wash our sheets only three times a year, oh my god, I'm actually speechless. Linda Dykes has turned her obsession into her business and believes that people with an

obsessive

need to clean their homes have a special set of skills that could change the nation's habits, so she's teaming up with a volunteer army of obsessive

cleaners

to get there, we'll clean up Britain right now on my freezing day in the bathroom, I say my hands are absolutely sweaty, dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty, but can two groups of people. with such opposite attitudes towards cleanliness work together to transform your lives you don't have to live like this you can live better and cleanliness or that obsessive need to clean will be too much to accept how can something that employs you be different?

I've seen the bad side of her today, you know, I'm going to be honest with you, it's just a total mess, chaos, dirt and grime. I can accept what they say is right and think that I don't really want to live. your lifestyle Linda Dykes meets obsessive

cleaners

from all over the UK to help her clean Britain perfectly yes I'm going to put a little padlock on your oven oh my god, spotlessly clean the first volunteer is 37 years old Richard from Sandhurst Richard He lives with his wife and two stepchildren but is obsessed by the need to organize himself neatly and maintain order since the front doors are I'm vacuuming I'm cleaning I'm tidying I'm organizing you can see I'm angry doing this I can't stop, I can't sit down, I can't be at peace until everything is as it should be.

It's a pretty stressful existence, on top of running your own business. Richard spends two whole months of every year simply cleaning and tidying his house and it can affect the people close to him, they may never even remove two rolls of toilet paper again. Richard is definitely the tidiest person I have ever met. I just need to make your bed, right, thanks. I have this obsession, but I don't believe. It's bad that this obsession with order isn't just limited to his house. If I see a can that's there, I guess in the air, I bring it to the front like sometimes I'm happy to know you know what.

Yes, it looks better if it is organized. Not that it's been a problem for me in the past. I won't lie. My previous wife, her family said I had OCD, but as Linda says, Richard believes his compulsion to clean will be passed on to dirty people. Why Mia? Some people like to go lazy, others like to wallow in a pig flight, but I have special gifts and bring order to chaos, and I enjoy it. I really enjoy it. Richard is taking four days off his obsessive cleaning routine to try it. and tackle this century old cabin oh my goodness someone really lives here hello sir oh I'm Richard Oh how nice to go to your house yeah yeah Christopher, a 64-year-old former antiques dealer, is forced to camp out on his own house, as it is I have felt completely overwhelmed by 15 years of disorder.

It definitely happened by accident. It's just 15 years of gradual, little by little. One day you wake up and realize that you have no floor in the bedroom. There is a very nice and comfortable wing chair, but it is not. accessible right now and this is my dining table, it's too embarrassing, I can't invite people back here. I think in the last 10 years, four people have been in my house, one of the few people invited into the mess and squalor is Christopher's sake. Chalice friend can't go to Christopher's house for a cup of tea or a sandwich because you'd probably end up dying with some kind of bacterial infection or disease.

Well, when I look around here, I really despair about where you start. I have not done it. I have an idea, it's just ridiculous and now is definitely the time for a change, but with Christopher's

compulsive

collecting so ingrained, I'm not sure how much of Richard's advice he'll be able to take on board. Wow, show me, these are the two reception rooms, yeah. I guess you don't get much there, well of course I did, this is the room I've always used as a living room, okay you relaxing idiot, where did you see that? Well, this is a little problem, isn't it?

Is this what you expected? It's probably worse than what I was exposed to or what might be correct. Well, do you want to continue? I guess there are kitchens there. I think there is no problem. Yes that's fine. Wow, the house is in chaos. This house is not alone. messy, it hasn't been cleaned since Christopher moved here 15 years ago hmm, it's a functional kitchen, as you can see Christopher, it's very dirty, yes, I'm very flattered, yes, and I don't see how you can cook, Cornero, no can. What do you live on sandwiches, sandwiches, calling you sandwiches?

Okay, you know, I'm going to be honest with you, it's just a total mess, chaos, mess, dirt and grime, there it is, so I need help, I absolutely need help. In fact you are the man for help well let's wait so this is like someone just got a garbage dump took the roof off the house emptied everything and put it back and that's it it's really bad it's bad , this is the bed you sleep in, this is the bed, okay? and when you go to bed at night, you clean the bed or you just get in there and go to sleep half of it, half you don't need the whole bed, so it's okay, you can push it, okay? go down to the kitchen, okay, you manage, yes, I'll follow you, okay, now that he's seen the whole house Richard wants to share some of the strategies he uses to keep his own house spotlessly clean.

Christopher I've put together some tips and advice on how to stay on top of clutter how to live a smaller life beds let's talk about beds I say make your bed every morning as soon as you get out of it make this a ritual because a messy bed can make a room much messier than it actually is if I'm the only one there it doesn't matter and a smaller anti-sickness anyway, the quick way with the vacuum cleaner should be done at least once in the morning and once at night , well, yes, every day, this makes the house look like a joke twice. one day, yeah, that's ridiculous, let's talk about the refrigerator, why are there going to be germs in the refrigerator when it's cold and it's supposed to keep things fresh, but when things expire, they go bad, they get moldy, and like date, things are not necessarily expired?

Undated, my eggs last a month in the refrigerator longer than their shelf life. Do you throw everything away? someone has finished. I have my phone. I follow the guidelines on expiration dates. Expiry dates. Yes, they are a big waste. The bacterial state improves. that the older it is, I can see that you will need a little convincing. No, you can tell me what you like. I can disagree with that of course, I can also accept what you will say. That's indie and Really think about that and I don't want to live your life with a professional cleaner.

Linda Dykes believes that those of us with a

compulsive

need to clean with a special skill that should be harnessed to clean Britain, one dirty house at a time, will do so. Clean up Britain's next volunteer is Michelle, a 52-year-old single mother, who is so terrified of germs that she spends almost 60 hours a week cleaning her house. I'm a gem, germs make me dirty and give me goosebumps, just give the shot at home and like you. I can see that there are dozens of those jars minus the bottle. It would never have occurred to me to put them directly in the refrigerator maybe people have touched them maybe their hands aren't clean they haven't washed themselves off the toilet or whatever if I didn't wash them I would feel like they had germs on them that I couldn't get rid of every day .

They will wipe my phone. They will clean all the phones in the house. I clean the hood every day, before and after use. Michele's compulsion to clean herself has led her to develop a three-step cleaning process with bleach, fabric conditioner, and polish for her floors, which she performs up to five times a day. Now there is not a speck of dirt on this floor, so I am very happy. That while Michele can spend up to eight hours a day polishing her windows, where is she most obsessive about polishing her windows when it rains? I'm sitting by the window waiting for it to give way so I can go out here and clean and make the glass look absolutely immaculate and the windowsills, so this is done every day inside and out and sometimes, If it has to be done twice a day, if it rains a lot, I'll come out here and do it. twice but Michelle's obsession with cleanliness makes it very difficult to live with her I can't touch the kitchen I can't cook anything Hoover runs after me sweeping I think you're nothing with that like you're always Hoover at 2:00 in the morning or when I come back from the club here the vacuum cleaner is up I admit that I am overdoing it I admit that I am crazy with cleaning They tell me that I am crazy but I can't help it and I want to help people I want to teach them and I can take my knowledge and I can show them what easy and simple which is they don't need to live in dirty houses it has to be my way there is no other way Michelle I will help NHS hotline advisor Richard, 31, from Milton Keynes, who hasn't cleaned his bedroom a single once in the four years he has lived there.

I'm not a king. I don't like Lee, it's not something I like to do. some other people do it, there were multiple stains of different colors, we have cigarette ash that looks like coffee, some tea around here is no longer copper, it's stained. Richard's bed seat is now so bad that even his own parents are reluctant to visit the times they have. I've been here for the four years I've been in his apartment. There has been a comment about this. Those dirty ones that look dirty. Why don't you keep it clean? Richard has suffered from depression for the past 15 years and has been proud of his home.

The last thing on my mind was that I was bullied a lot when he was a kid, especially at school. I responded by moving to China after two years of successful therapy. Richard now feels confident to tackle the enormous task of cleaning his apartment. I'm getting my life really on track and the living space I have is holding me back, it's just another goal to achieve to become a superior member of society again. Michelle, a germaphobe, thinks she's worried that Richards has neglected the shelter, but will her desire to help Richard win out? your fear of germs, please coin, oh my god, oh I can't control all this, oh, I have never, I have never seen anything like this in my life, sheer lack of cleanliness, gods, don't panic, sir .

I have never seen a kitchen like this. I don't remember the last time we came. You know, that's why I could never live like this. I couldn't, I just couldn't. I'd be ready for the madhouse. I mean they're like panic stations if you look at the state of the couch here oh look well if we got here socks seats oh my god look at all these crumbs and bits of dirt feeling like I could scream right now it's horrendous I mean it's horrendous horrendous feeling like I've never I've seen that before in my life it's completely foreign to me it's like misery should never be like this this is God's bar the toilet bowl is horrendous worse than horrendous it's just a complete nightmare I could never go to your bathroom I could never stand it in your shower and I wouldn't touch those taps to wash my hands, that wouldn't happen, you don't have to live like this, you can live better and cleaner than this and it could be improved big time and you will feel better about yourself you really will and I'm sure that's what you want I want well so we can do it well then why will it help you in the long run it's very good you know you don't have to live like this You don't have to be mad at yourself because I'm here and I'm going to help you.

My father has this. Yes, but now you are going to move forward to motivate yourself. Richard Michelle wants to pass on some of her advice. keeping on top of cleaning in my bathroom, I'll flush the toilet and first I'll spray like a bleach spray into the bowl, then I'll put the toilet bowl cleaner on top, that already sounds like a lot of work, it's work, it's a lot work and I will do the windows inside, how do I do the outside, the windows also if you have a very heavy downpourstrong that will leave all the stains, you know, come back and give it a good cleaning if I come from shopping in the afternoon, how much time would you spend cleaning in a day?

I would say I could at least be doing seven to eight hours a day, basically as you know, a

full

day of cleaning work. yes, and not getting paid and not getting paid for it don't go, I've never seen anything so big in the task of keeping your house clean in Bradford upon Aven, tidy-obsessed Richard is taking on 15 years of mess ex consumedAntique dealer Christopher's cabin, his strategy is to firstly identify the items that Christopher is happy to throw away to make some space in the house if he wanted to throw them in the Skip, yeah, what would you say?

It's a useful turkey baster, maybe I'm choosing the wrong one, okay? If I wanted to skip this, that name, I wouldn't learn that by going there, that's going well, we're not doing very well, no, no, just because I like the design of it, it's a very useful thing, but there are other extensions. need to cook a game, what's up with that? Well, you're asking awkward questions about things I use for wrapping paper. Could that work? What's up with those cables over there? Could you go to a charity shop and help? Something I need to get to them because my truck won't start at noon, okay, I'm picking random things and you're telling me no, no, no, no, so why don't you give me some examples of things we could Let's get rid of it because I'm here to help you and I want to help you, but you have to get over it, yeah, now I'm going to hold on to it.

Hoarders often feel intense anxiety when getting rid of their belongings, so Richard's task is not easy, you may have to be a little tougher. yourself, yeah, I don't want that sheet of glass, right, I want these enameled signs, what's up with this, what's it made of, yeah, I'd go, all these boards, yeah, I can see your wall and your radiator, yeah, is already brilliant with a small victory in hand Richards recruited Christopher's friends to help and is turning his attention to the living room and kitchen. We have divided the clutter into four categories. We've skipped the charity shop, recycling and Keith, and the idea is that we're making a more manageable task.

We're creating space and we're giving Christopher visibility of what he has to handle in the end. Christopher's friend Chalice, one of four people allowed into the house over the past ten years, came to lend a hand. Christopher's refrigerator stopped working two years ago. ago, are you ready for this? That fish and chips there was all that was there. I'm sure there are some airborne germs and diseases coming out of there. This is disgusting. I'm right on opposite ends of the scale of cleaning things, but I'm too far away. in front I think it's too far on the other side ready, put it in the back nothing's going to come out you're standing there giving me all the orders yeah this is your free creep to help me come here let's go buy my refrigerator Christopher come I'm not going to do all this alone .

No, this is your responsibility. They can't help me. Happens. It's not like you're directing traffic. I want you to get stuck. Come on, come on, he sees me a little. a bit like a bit of a coward. I think he thinks he's very smart because he has me here to tidy up his house. No, he made the mess that he needs to get it ready. Linda Dykes loves cleaning so much that she has made a business out of it. warning her diamond being cleaned Linda thinks if there were more people like her Britain would be a better place to live I'm quite obsessive I'm a fantastic cleaner my standards are so high they reach Venus so Linda is working with a work group of obsessive cleaners to bring Britain to their own exacting standards and, as well as tidying up private homes, they will also look after public spaces.

Two million and a quarter of rubbish is dumped in the United Kingdom every day and with the intervention of the government. the council's services budget at four billion pounds last year leisure services and parks are the first to suffer as people with OCD can improve things they can clean them but you know today we need help from communities that Linda and the team of obsessive cleaners will tackle this Ronde charity center in Leatherhead which is at risk of losing its food hygiene certificate the pit stop offers hot meal advice and support to some of the area's most vulnerable adults we help homeless people who have addictions drugs alcohol mental health unemployed and We also receive people who feel very alone and who come here to the center.

It offers more than 200 hot meals a week, but with only three permanent members of staff it's hard to keep up with cleanliness in my six years. working on pesto and obviously cleaning has decreased because our main priority is feeding and watering people and helping them. Linda took on the challenge of getting the pit stop up to par, but she won't be doing it alone and will be joining her today. obsessive cleaning partners haley and michael 27 year old mother of three, hailey was diagnosed with ocd in 2007. she can spend up to 19 hours a day making her house perfectly germ free.

I don't wash my rough things with my hands. I am a sponge. of these a lot so I don't have to touch it because I think people put their bodies in there and it's dead skin cells and that stuff puts a damper on the bar. I love bleach, it smells strong, it's almost at the end. point where you feel like you can't breathe and there's no proper light on your back, so you're like Michael, 44, is a construction worker with a very particular way of keeping his house spotless when he gets up every day. I like I like to vacuum the bed because when you've been in bed for 8 to 10 hours you get dead skin cells coming out and your ears come out and yes, you sweat a lot.

Yes, I would definitely be a sales perfectionist, without a doubt. the towels have to be synchronized with each other online, that's great, it's an immersive way, it's just been terrible, obviously you think it might be unfair, yeah, well, yeah, I mean, the furniture here is quite old, these are the men's bathrooms that come this way. Oh a bit smelly, oh my gosh I know they smell bad being in some in my time but I haven't actually been here before. I'll be very honest with you, I don't want to go up there, there's feces on the sick oh, it seems to smell so bad, this is absolutely disgusting.

I don't even know how men can use it. Can't we live here? Right now, my freezing day, if I showed you my hands, they are absolutely sweating. So, especially the fact that there is urine on the toilet seat, it bothers him greatly. This is our kitchen area. The center serves breakfast and 40 homemade lunches every day. For me right now it's a hygiene issue. It couldn't be easier, yes. no chance dirty where is the sink? It's here Oh, at the last inspection the pit stop passed its food hygiene test with an impressive 3 out of 5 and standards have deteriorated since then.

We have a food safety and health inspection taking place tomorrow, so the pressure is off. So there's no pressure on you before the team can begin the deep clean, the center needs to be emptied and volunteers from the local school have come to lend a hand on April 78th most importantly for Haley who has a phobia of germs, is bombarding years worth of bathrooms. of bacteria helping our Center manager, Gail, and the center user, the recovering drug addict, Ellen, so here I also like half the sword to make sure that we have killed all the germs in here because I feel that there will be millions and billions and billions and How did you get to the center?

I had many years of domestic violence, yes, and I just gave up and then became homeless. A friend told me about here and yes, I think they have practically saved me. my life really to be honest Matt is waging war and it's that strong - five Wow, you know, honestly, it's actually making it up and making me cry. I do not feel anything. I love it. I love the smell that flows back in a second. OH, that worries me. a little bit because I'm like I use too much bleach and my body is so used to it.

I really feel that there is no problem here. I feel good, the bleach is so strong, so overwhelming, every time you do this with a broom. It's like you've put your face on a pile of onions It's like lying down on your facts It's the point where you just can't stand You just had to stop for a minute Linda is focused on bringing the kitchen up to her exacting standards of cleanliness, But the downside to working on a team of obsessive cleaners is that their obsessive methods often clash, but you don't really like bleach tea. My head hurts from the bleach you used in the bathrooms. a dangerous thing bleach you know a little effort and some cleaning chemicals I think it kills germs you know that's why you use antibacterial after you've done enough Ehlinger yes, he's cleaned everything he likes even the shiny surfaces he likes everything to shine and claim where is our night that has killed the germs Haley continues about pollution the bleach lover you know bleach is not the answer to everything Richards sits on the bed in Milton Kings Michelle's strategy is to divide the cleaning into achievable items she's starting in the bedroom, she thinks it's easier to tackle the living room, it's better to get all these things out first so it's all clear, work with the things you want, let's put these things you don't want They get stuck in the trash, so this is missing. order what windows are these like I could write my name on them, oh my god I saw that in my house no, that would never happen at home.

Michelle can clean her windows 14 times a week and more if it rains. I don't continue when I'm looking outside. I have to go out and clean the windows and then come back later, okay, okay, farm, why stop doing proper cleaning to go out and pour some water on a window? Michelle never felt she needed to be officially diagnosed, but her need to clean up is one of the many recognized behaviors of OCD sufferers. People who suffer from OCD try to reduce their anxiety with rituals such as washing their hands and wiping themselves completely black. If you rub very hard you will get a much better result.

Well, don't you think? Well I could give myself a really good power massage here, that's brilliant, it took me almost an hour to clean this window but for Michelle it's still not clean enough Richard I can still see this stain on the glass here and there so they go. outside to do it all over again is taking a long time because they have never been washed, if they have been left for years and you haven't seen soap or water on them it will take longer than it would with my windows. thorough very thorough, up to 5% of the population suffer from compulsive hoarding when it often affects people who already have a psychological disorder in Wiltshire obsessed with order Richard is working with Christopher taking a break from cleaning Richard has agreed to have a beer in the pub and I really like to know about your upbringing.

I would have gone to university, but my mom at the time was fine, she's a single mother, so what I really had to do was go into the working world and I ended up working in a supermarket. I think that's where some of my sales packaging skills were honed, there's a lot of details involved in that, yes, involved in tidying up and making the store look tidy. I was very proud of my storage areas, very proud when he put the can in, I was going to say you have. everyone faces the same thing, but you know what, yeah, and we had to do the whole store, there were two of us and that was our challenge every night.

I see that it is a waste of time, yes, I think I come from less vulgar, I will not disagree with you, but regarding my house, yes, how did that happen? I'm an antique restorer and I saved a lot of spare parts, then my mother died three years ago, yeah, and her stuff came to my house filled my living room with all these trinkets 'yeah, yeah, and I really don't know what's in it them, yes, so it was really an organic laziness plus an organic explosion of disorder, yes, yes, in Milton Kings, the germaphobe, Michelle is On the third day of cleaning Richards' bed, Michelle spends up to 60 hours a week cleaning her house and even sterilizing her purchases before putting them away.

Richard's bathroom hasn't been cleaned once since he moved here four years ago because This is the worst room I've ever read for anything and I'm literally psyching myself out. I hope to overcome this. I really do the baths, the main thing is that my heart beats strongly, it beats 10 per dozen. I'm having palpitations here books in the bathroom, yeah, you read so many disgusting things in the bathroom that a lot of people read in the bathroom, they're disgusting, disgusting habits, you're sitting there pooping and you have books, reading and touching them, you know? unhygienic, that's how it is for you, it's like if one of your dogs or cats poops and you just sit there and have a cupof tea and a biscuit or something, not in a bathroom, it's like eating food in the bathroom you wouldn't do it, why would you?

I would have made that comparison which for me is at the top. I know, but I'm already at the top. Your house only gets dirty when you're done. Forget it, he just can't leave. Oh, still. Gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, so it's ready for me to come in. Do this, God, help me. The first thing I'm going to take is my bleach in the toilet. I don't even want my dress to touch anything that's in there. I feel bad about a lot of this and I'm going to take some of this stuff. You must be careful when mixing chemicals.

If you start to feel dizzy, go straight out. No, I'm not going to feel dizzy. It's okay, I know. I'm going overboard, but there's a good and bad reason why I'm doing that. Oh God, stay, don't have a girl, Richard, yeah, just take my gloves, just use the cream, don't put any more bleach in a position now if I don't. I won't put any more bleach on her, she's fine, rub her hard, the fact that you're enjoying it, it smells terrible. Okay, well done, that's really good. Mixing cleaning chemicals is dangerous, but it's the only way Michelle would consider the toilet clean.

Enough, I want to go back there, I guess I shouldI've been prepared for this is where the real crazy hit How can someone use three different types of chemicals in the toilet? The state of the toilet bowl. There's no way you could just go around it and do it smoothly. I had to go. Full steam ahead It's all-encompassing It consumes her day Seven or eight hours cleaning That's a lifetime's work for anyone I've seen the bad side of her Today This is what's really brave Now I think we need a big escape, guys from Leatherhead Linda's obsessive team have been checking the pit stop drop sensor in the hope of impressing the food inspector who is visiting today.

Oh, she's starting to look pretty good. Always look on the positive side. I'm never a defeatist, it never is. taken 24 hours of hard graft ten bottles of bleach 15 bottles of disinfectant 30 shine pads 12 mop sponges and 40 people the center is ready for the inspector thank you for coming I really worked hard on this I can see that and when your entire area was me totally different, it was chaotic, wasn't it absolutely all this furniture? I've had to wash them, it's just a different place, all together, I don't believe how it's gotten better, it's okay, I mean it's a lot brighter, hygiene is key, so if I take out my torch and look back and wonder why what you brought the torch, why what do you want to do with it.

I just wanted to take a look behind the equipment, next to the equipment, yeah, okay, two years ago, the inspector graded the kitchen. an average of three out of five, after which his cleanliness level dropped even further. I'm happy to say now that with all the changes the overall score would be a 5, which is a 5 out of 5 stars in the system we appreciate. and thank you very much for coming. I would like to thank the entire OCD team on behalf of pitstop. I feel great, of course, I feel great. I have an excellent person. Projects like this really help my Soy City.

I think because it pushes me to be in touch with my things that I normally wouldn't be, so I think it's really good and I think it's helping me. I must flee to Wiltjer Richard. He's been fixing up former antiques dealer Christopher's house for three days with the living room now clear he's pouring water on the carpet to try to keep some of the dust inside the fibers AG comes I think we did a lot of the air grafting Christopher well, I'm not getting off, it's too dusty now The carpet is up Richards is ready to start the cleaning, but Christopher is nowhere to be found, he's done a disappearing act, he's gone to the pub to have a sneaky spot, he's not there. happy, we were about to send a search party, we thought you.

I walked away and lost myself for nothing now. I'm getting a little like I just want to sit down. Yes, relax. I was feeling a little stressed because I think I was distraught. I just needed to sit down because I was. Probably about two hours, yes, it took 20 minutes. I just wanted some free time. That's all. This whole attitude towards life is totally opposite to mine. I had never met anyone like Richard before. I don't think about my life or if I have, I've probably put them down, but we're going through a very interesting experience. I'm very revived after going to the pub for a pint at Richards Fire in Milton Keynes, it's the last day of the clean up. and the old and stained carpet has been skipped making way for a new one, it looks amazing, so different, bright, absolutely bring it, what would you see you have to do when you come before you leave and walk on the carpet exactly, take your shoes? before leaving Michelle can't resist giving the bedroom one last once over right before I go home.

I would like to give you this pet vacuum cleaner to pick up pet hair right away, just in case they don't bother you. to take out the big Hoover, you can even sit on the couch, you don't even have to get up and you can vacuum the couch, yes, thank you, it's been a wonderful experience. I loved having you here. Richard's parents, Jean and Russell Haven. He hasn't been in the apartment for months. Are you very embarrassed to be visited? It's huge. He understands well. It has never been like this. Even when he first moved in, he looked great.

Richard's bathroom hadn't been cleaned in four years. It took four. hours a bottle of bleach, an antibacterial spray, two Lou brushes, five sponges and a bottle of cream cleanser to bring it up to Michelle's level. I think this floor feels like home now that it's no longer a prison cell, it's no longer just the place where I put my I have learned so much more from this experience and I once expected to feel like a changed man, but despite going through four hours straight cleaning the windows and 40 hours in total obsessively cleaning the bed, it's still not clean enough for Michelle.
