I used to think Dh was a cleanaholic till I watched this - I feel so much better now! The worst was the woman who cleans he house for 12 hours a day (2 bed house), and cleans behind the cooker EVERY DAY, but only eats ready meals as cooking makes the kitchen dirty!!!!!!!!! Oh, and she cleans the kitchen floor and the bottom of her shoes with furniture polish. WTF????

I watch it - or did when it was on - my house always feels positivly minging after watching it - althou I know it's not!

I love the lady who dusted off the tea bags before using them! lol.

It's on Discovery Home & Health. I saw on the blurb on one, that one woman avoided getting the toilet dirty by not using it!!!!!

Shock where did she go to the loo then?

IIRC, she had other loos, but the downstairs one was in the 'wrong' place (she was a feng shui nut) and so she didn't use it and made all her family and guests go upstairs to the main bathroom.

The people on it are nutters. My house is clean and tidy, but they take it to the extreme.

This sounds great! Will have to secretly record it.

Didn't she keep falling over if she cleaned the floor and the bottom of her shoes with polish?

I have just started watching this (DH away for a week so have complete control of the remote ). Can't decide who is more cracked - the cleanaholics or the people on afterwards on 'How Clean is your House'. The funny thing is that the moment I start agreeing with them (e.g. I don't think its unreasonable to hoover every day if you have a dog) they do something mad like starting to hoover the dog.

I watch it sometimes, some though I'm sure are more obsessive compulsive rather than just cleanaholic!!!
