the little bit dirt on this not much because I do clean it and regular and Amma has a very hands-on approach to cleaning I usually don't wear gloves I like doing it with my hands like that naked because then I can actually feel that coming off the things then when I put my hands on it it feels really great because all fresh and crisp and it smells so good you can smell that also it's amazing Amar's cleaning habits only started when he moved to the UK two years ago Emrys Keaney was you know fantastic now it's got a lot worse Unitas cotton buds around the hubs and you know chopsticks down

just sit down and let's just love as a family and it's not just Michelle's husband who has to maintain a high standards well Duncan I was really good what you think you got out of 10 6 I reckon I can give that a 7 I wish I didn't have to keep my bedroom so tidy high five sometimes it just gets on my nerves hoping to become more relaxed about her housekeeping Michelle is leaving her hygiene at home to help someone who is decidedly different when it comes to cleaning I'd like to feel a little less regimented in my surroundings and to feel that I can relax if somebody does put one thing slightly out of place michelle has travelled over 280 miles to the Cornish town of Millbrook to help someone with a very different approach to housekeeping the view is just spectacular the exterior of this house actually looks okay it looks fine grass is cut nice flowers don't judge a book by its cover I don't know what's lurking behind that door [Music] 50 year-old Suzanne has lived in a two bedroom flat in Millbrook for the past 18 years with a cat Mitzi oh what's in here unfortunately Sue's love of shopping has taken over a home I have very little idea what's in this room it kind of got rather full I think those are things I bought in here probably presents for people somehow they didn't get them but there's always this year or next year in here I have the most beautiful dining table but unfortunately everything seems to have got piled on top of it and not taken off oh dear don't want to trod on there about heigh-ho and that's like to buy everything and anything I say I'm sure not sure sometimes what I want to buy but I've obviously bought it Oh what an anomaly Oh where's my car it gets better and better Oh one ladylike this is my living room unfortunately due to all this mess I have had a few accidents I have broken toes and cut myself or got a bruise on my size and walking in the door or bumping into the furniture one person who is desperate for suitor changes mom June who lives in the flat downstairs I don't say - so as a joke that if you're getting me more stuff and I sit down one day I'd be buried and you just won't find me again or we won't even find the cat but Suzanne was not always this messy with me when I was 12 years old I was obsessive about cleaning beds changed nearly every other day I was spotless it was only after an accident that things changed she was such a tidy person and accident changed the way she thought [Music] just can't seem to get on top of it I want to but can't oh she's been through a lot and I would like her to get the help now to get back on track to where she was I've got a couple of friends but he wants to come round to a place like this I need to sort it I want to sort it [Music] Michelle thank you I mean okay Wow because sorry I've never seen so much so it's not that bad this would drive me mad it's always like this it's been worse it's my kitchen and I know it's quite a lot of stuff in here how do you cook I don't cook are you telling every night no you probably know what you have in next Monday your first day yeah I do it so yeah how sad is that no I think but what didn't you want to be able to use your

here and had dinner last about dinner in here was seven years ago I mean this is just a waste of room it might as well not be here what is it you do for a living so I'm a cleaner few places a few times a week so you need you to clean up oh why now come and see me in my home you know you went in there would you employ her as a cleaner I believe her I'm a very good one I've not had any complaints before Michele begins her clean she wants to show Suzanne the standard she keeps at her home this is my kitchen there's nothing in it shows home I know that's my bathroom there's a toilet paper well the reason that there's no toilet paper is because I've got three so I restrict them from using that one mad that's my son's room because I want to teach the children that it's important to keep things nice and look after them get them to make their beds and then I give them marks out of 10 hey box there kiddies that's just wicked it's not I think it's fun because it's a game because it all allowed to play anything else in the room that's my bedroom see that line down the middle yes side in your side never the twain shall meet my home is like my castle it's a sure home I love

times a day and I'll use a at least six different products to clean it I probably spend about 160 pounds a month and clean and stuff diagnosed with OCD 10 years ago Kelly has tried unsuccessfully to control her condition I've been to therapy before I've tried to conquer it myself it affects you so much in people that don't have OCD have no idea what it's like to live with when it comes to ridding

years and currently shares it with his cat Tyson I have to clean up after the cat which I don't my really looks and crappies like that we're just living you don't think about then things when you've played around this is better what a slate everything just gets dumped in here there's a very dirty laundry which I've got round to doing here I would say I'm very lazy definitely failed very lazy since Ken's wife died several years ago cleaning hasn't been the top of his priorities was a picture over it when he photographed the last time I got a proper claim was five years ago just before my wife's funeral because all our relatives were coming down and Ken's friend of three years Brian would look to see him change his ways I think it's absolutely filthy get rid of that bloody fryer well we couldn't cook me chips in I probably visit more often if Ken added cleaner environment and they'd certainly be less assault on my sense of smell even though most people's toilets are a stone's throw away from their showers 42% of people admits it urinating while standing under one but for 30 year-old crystal nothing makes it down the plughole although she Hoover's and polishes it every day her shower is for exhibition oh we don't Christel spends five hours a day keeping a two bedroom London apartment spotless when I'm cleaning after time the cleans it's like a military operation I need to get it done and nothing's clean unless it smells good enough to eat smell is very important it's it's the most important thing the smell of Apple is delicious I just love it although she's not OCD diagnose crystal starts her daily cleaning routine at 5:00 a.m. there's always something to do we've got mirrors flashbacks I'm polishing that I'd say in the 50s 50 times a day on top of a cleaning list are her bed sheets which are washed and ironed every day once it comes out of the dryer it's still a little bit crinkly I think everyone should iron machine posi crystal has an eight month-old son with her partner of two years Oh messy boy but worries that her obsessive cleaning will ruin her plans for a big wedding I feel like if anyone is neglecting it maybe my partner I'd like to get married but if I'm constantly choosing cleaning over spending time with somebody why would they want to marry me Christel will be heading north to meet someone with very different priorities when it comes to cleanliness I'm pretty direct I will speak my mind if I feel like something is not right then I'll just let them know leaving her crystal clean apartment she's travelled 140 miles to

here then he moved out didn't take anything with him furnished a flat move back in again it's just accumulate stuff just a couch just I don't know he's like appears out of thin air okay with the clutter piling up April still won't allow her husband Paul to lift a finger April thinks that because I've been to work all day I shouldn't have to come home and clean but since April had a hip operation three years ago she's found it difficult to keep on top of the housework even though I know I'm physically not able to do it I still think it should be my job to do it because I'm not working so I feel it should be me that's doing him April cares for and relies on a 23 year old son Allen he has learning difficulties and is an avid collector of Lego and games whatever Allen doesn't
