Forget books, forget buddy programs, forget all of it!
If you watch a few episodes of “How clean is your house?” you won’t need all of that… the absolute horror of the houses shown will force you from your chair to clean every bloomin’ thing in sight. And if you think your house is dirty you’ll learn that you’re wrong.
It’s a reality show of course. Some of the homeowners featured are suffering from what has to be OCD. Some have had events in their lives that caused them to let cleaning slide (divorce, health, other). Some are just plain old fashioned bonkers. And some are just godawful pigs.
It’s shown on BBC America and there are some episodes on youtube.
You don’t want to eat while you watch it. There were two on ytube that had me gagging.
They were done in an american version of the show. Both from California. One a health fanatic. You know, gym class, running, only putting healthy food into her temple. My ASS! Her refrigerator was a freakin biohazard! Her kitchen was a disaster area and the bimbo didn’t take the time to put her precious sugar free gum in the trash after finishing with it. She put it EVERYWHERE! She lived in an incredibly expensive condo and she had trashed the damned thing.
The next one was a wannabe CHEF/CATERER who had maggots in her kitchen and had the friggin nerve to be shocked and scream when she saw them. It boggles the mind that people will probably be eating food she’s made. I can understand a fly getting in during the summer (I hate the damned things) and it happening by accident. But this wasn’t like that. Her kitchen was piled high with dirty dishes, her fridge was another example of a biohazard (think E-Coli), and the stovetop was damned near black. I wouldn’t eat anything she touched after watching that. *Shudder*
And the hypocrisy of some of them. You have a house that’s a biological toxic dump yet you refuse to use chemical cleaning products or want only eco-friendly cleaning products? Jesus!
It makes you think of people differently and you look at houses differently too. It might be a 500,000 house on the outside but it might be hiding a hell hole of epic proportions on the inside.
OMG, I have to go wash my hands and clean something!
