Cleaner Finds Hoarder's Home In a Complete MESS | Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners | Episode 29 | Filth

Would you step foot in this home?
A quarter of adults in Britain are so obsessed with cleaning and tidying that they spend more than four years of their waking lives on household chores, with many feeling compelled to abide by strict regimes and rituals.
The first volunteer is specialist crime scene cleaner Mick, 39. In his day job, Mick cleans up after murders and suicides, but he will also spend up to 4 hours a day keeping his one bedroom flat forensically clean.
Mick uses his work equipment at home, including a chemical ‘fogger’, machine that kills almost 100% of bacteria. Mick has been with his partner Tanya for 5 years, but recently moved in to the flat next door, as she did not clean to his exacting standards. Mick wants to calm down his cleaning habits and be able to move back in with his partner.

Mick is such a sweetheart, his empathy is a whole other level, bless him, such a lovely guy

[@angeldsouza777]

A true gentleman 😊👌🏾

[@gillianbrookwell1678]

I agree, he's a very affable friendly guy.

[@jenrich111]

And what a great service he does by coping with cleaning up crime scenes etc. He is brilliant. I do hope he can be kinder with himself ( they mentioned OCD developing from criticism from childhood)

[@bigb853]

He is gorgeous!!

[@Itwasme420]

Sure I worked with him at drainage firm a few years ago

[@martiros7888]

This is not just laziness, this is a serious level of depression.

[@roleat]

It's more than depression hoarding is a mental illness.

[@ananamu2248]

Often it's a marital breakup where the guy doesn't know that it wasn't a magical fairy cleaning up in the night ... it was the unseen partner that's disappeared...

[@Plethorality]

they were boys who tried to marry a mummy, not men who wanted a partner. girls were brought up being taught housework, but nor boys esoeciallly back then. this helped no one.

[@BlazeCarlton]

The responsibility to maintain their living space is on both partners, especially since the man in this case has ASD. My partner also has ASD and we just split the chores and set a routine, which he can easily follow and it works. I think in their case they got stuck in a rut and got used to it until it became too much.

[@Plethorality]

@@BlazeCarlton i waa talking about Les, as his partner had left him, as mentioned in the op. but i did not make it clear, sorry. i have Asperger's too, and guessed that this other man was, and yes, a clear routine of specific tasks could have worked, but they are of a generation where the woman was expected, without question, to do the housework, by herself. the tv shows showing equality were shocking, at the time, not a documentary of current life. the man had his shop, the woman had her house.. then. it just got on top of them, and they did not know a way out. glad they got help. it was lovely to see.

[@daniaawni5180]

that's literally my dad and he's now getting a job abroad and he's going to live away from us. i just KNOW what his house is going to look like

I absolutely loved Dave's face once he saw the mess in Les's house, hes such a perfectionist , I just love it!!! Mick is a gentle person, emphatic, this episode made my day, and got me cleaning!!! 😀😀

[@dtulip1]

I think someone should point out to Les that Dave ISN'T a cleaner, he's a person who cleans....there's a difference

[@ZekromReshiramVolt]

Don't be so snobbish

[@shafalibegum2069]

It is their opinion tho ,so it's not that snobbish

[@rduggan2011]

so explain to me what a cleaner is and a person who cleans? i am both ex military and area manager for a hotel chain, now explain the difference, between my staff, that have to clean, and the cleaners, who most of the time, fail to do there jobs, and the department staff have to fix it, so the difference is what?

[@gemlouise1260]

@@rduggan2011 If you're the manager, why are you allowing your hotel managers to keep on cleaners who aren't competent at their jobs, and making your other staff do it instead? Isn't it in your job description to make sure things are running smoothly and efficiently? Tell your managers to pull their socks up and get rid!

There should be a follow up on everyone at the end of each series to see how they're doing 🙂

[@gillianbrookwell1678]

I wouldn't blame Rosemary if she did leave; I was married to a hoarder for over 40 years, and couldn't take it any more so I moved out seven years ago. I wouldn't say I was a germaphobe, but I like my home spotless and clutter free.

[@rebbeccapage1122]

Its not easy i wasn't married to a hoarder but my mother is one

[@Potato__Queen]

@@rebbeccapage1122 I was in the same boat as you, my mum and brothers were/are hoarders and super messy people. I had to move out at 16 with no job and a cat because I couldn't take it anymore. (6 people and I was the only one doing housework) They are slowly making progress on the house now that I'm expecting. I'm so exciting for my baby to grow up with the same amount of love as I did but in a clean risk free house.

[@sn.m]

Rosemary is a nice person and naturally harassed by her husband's cluttering behaviour. But holding him responsible for every mess was perhaps an excuse. For instance, she could have cleared the bathrooms and the kitchen. The filth there had less to do with Julian's toys and more to do with her feeling overwhelmed or perhaps seen as secondary. Perhaps it is necessary to know when and why Julian started getting toys home.

Mick reminds me so much of my late brother! same hair and dress sense, similar voice and personality...my brother wasn't quite as OCD, though he did have suspected OCD it was more about neatness and order and presentation of himself than germs and cleanliness...though he was a little particular about that too...funny really because he was most definitely a hoarder (or 'collector') too lol. he had so much, but what was on display, and not in neatly piled boxes, was so meticulously lined up and placed at correct angles with themed areas etc...and he had an actual 6 ft high shelving unit in the bathroom full of aftershaves and bodywashes, hair products and other grooming products, all lined in in order of size and brand and several bottles etc of each lined up like the neatest supermarket shelf you ever saw. awww god bless Mick, i hope you managed to move in with your missus
