How Clean Is Your House? About This Page:

[stretch2864]

Has anybody else watched the show How Clean Is Your House? on BBC America? I just discovered it, and I can't believe how filthy the houses are!!! These people are literally living in garbage houses teeming with dirt, mold, and bacteria. On the flip side, the women who go in and clean the homes offer some great cleaning tips for the rest of us!

I've seen this show once or twice, makes me feel good about my own less than stellar cleanliness.

My house right now is a bit of a disaster because I'm redoing my Christams decoration storage. We store our stuff in an unattached garage (that is it's not attached to our house). I had it all in 2 big plastic bins. I'm now putting all the ornaments that were just in boxes in the plastic bins, into those bins that are designed for ornaments. That way we can easily see whats Christmas stuff and what's just general storage stuff. Anywho... I ran out of bins so I have to go back and get some but I just haven't had the time so the Christmas stuff is partially packed and partially cluttering up my living room. Hopefully tonight we can go get some more and then this weekend I can get my house back under control.

There have been times I've had to change the channel. I can't imagine living in that kind of squalor. I mean, who lets their animals poop on the floor and then just not bother to clean it up??? It makes me feel much better about my own less than perfect house. Clutter I can understand, but not filth.

I really like this show. Like the others have said, I'm absolutely amazed by the way these people live, and I don't feel quite so bad about the way my house looks.

I've seen it! SOOOO gross

[lauren-roxy]

It is hard to believe that there are really people who live like that, some of those houses are just so disgusting!!

[waycoolmom]

These ladies are hysterical and the houses are NASTY! It makes me feel so much better about myself!

I love watching this show! I can't believe people live like this-the one that made me the most sick was a chef at a restaurant (who wanted to open her own) that had MAGGOTS in a bowl of about week-old leftover dough/cookie mix!

There were also a few shows where the folks would never clean their bathrooms and were living with potentially deadly black mold!

There's some days I don't vacuum for 3 or more days-I can't believe there's people who live in filth-and raise KIDS in this kind of environment! BLECH!

I've never seen it. I have seen the pre-views, but have no clue when it's on.
Sounds like something just up my alley though. I like to watch Clean House - but I hate that Neecy!! Her voice is irritating, so I can only watch a couple of minutes at a time.

I love those ladies, they're a hoot! But man, how gross are those homes! I like when they go back and check to see if they're still clean.

I love the show. The people are completely overwhelmed, for a variety of reasons. To see them cry at the end of the show, when their house is back to normal - I really feel for them. It's like they were given a second chance. DH, on the other hand, hates the show because it makes him sick.

Love the show! It motivates me to clean even more every time I watch it

[Caldercup]

I get a bad case of the heebeejeebees watching this show. Plus I feel so sorry for the people who got into that situation -- they have some serious issues to allow their homes to hit rock bottom like that.

It literally makes my hands itch to snap on some latex gloves, strap on the respirator, and just start shoveling filth out of their kitchens and bathrooms.

<<shudder>>

I have never watched it but I do watch Clean Sweep and Clean House. It amazes me when I see what some have let their houses get to. But then again I have an Aunt that hasn't seen her carpet in 18 years. Of course I don't go there.
