How Clean is Your House? S02E10 - Rosy Lovelady, London (HD)

Kim and Aggie have harsh words for Rosy Lovelady, who has not cleaned her flat for 24 years, preferring to spend her days completing crossword puzzles.
Originally aired on 12th May 2004.

I really don’t know how people can live like this. It doesn’t take that much to maintain a acceptable level of tidiness. Who agrees?

[@JudeTavonFenwick]

It is absolutely DISGUSTING isn’t it! It’s shocking that enough ppl are this dirty they can make an entire series out of it….

[@seraphale]

It's usually mental disturbance over simple laziness. No well-adjusted, thriving individual would choose this.

[@elizabethllewellyn1417]

Agree!

[@tanyadodson6847]

my brother lives like this and I cannot understand it because I not like it and we both had a clean house growing up​@@seraphale

I love kim's lines & comments: "This is a spider winking at me" 😉🤣

[@jessicawatson3320]

I miss this show

[@YoutubeFan76147]

Yeah me too. Bring this back. We need this to come back

[@TracyW-me8br]

This was the OG cleaning show. So good.

[@thatskingbooker]

I would be so scared if I was in Kim’s presence

[@JudeTavonFenwick]

Why?

@@JudeTavonFenwickCos she’s a bully. Falls out with everyone.

[@JudeTavonFenwick]

@@wibblywobblytimeywimey4669 she’s not a bully in any sense of the word… she has a sense of humour you do not like; also, she’s correct about what she says… you must be dirty af if you think someone telling a grown adult about NOT being lazy and filthy is « bullying »

[@karissakline6765]

I hate endings like this, what an absolute waste! She seemed so sweet and appreciative too 😢

[@eleanorhogan8643]

Let us face it a lot of people on this series were hopeless.

[@chapman1569]

I forgot to add, carpet in the bathroom is a no no, again keeping moisture and harboring mould.

[@AGNETHAFALTSK0G]

@@chapman1569 absolutely, they would be better removing it and varnishing her bathroom floor so it's easy to wipe any moisture , stains or dirt etc

[@hangin-in-thereawesome4245]

These are old videos but still have good hints!!!!

[@eleanorhogan8643]

Rose reminds me of my Grandma she liked reading and doing crosswords though she did not clean because she was in a wheelchair, now she had a cleaner but on the other hand she had always been rather untidy.

[@mkmmkm9471]

Cutlery in the bathroom ... that is a new one!

[@AGNETHAFALTSK0G]

This woman seems to find it funny her property is in decay

[@hayleymorris6294]

Bless this beautiful lady. She's obviously super intelligent and clean in herself. She needs help. I know EXACTLY how it feels to be overwhelmed by things. Xxx

[@cheryllewis-scott8741]

When the home owner says that she’s never had a room like this, they should have responded but this IS your room and it has been all this time you dirty beggar 🤣🤣🤣

[@OK-wb1dy]

“I don’t mind intellect but I’d rather be a dope and clean”

[@VinnieFavalesnutsack]

"I put it to soak." "What did you soak it in, mud?" 🤣

[@aprilblossom9268]

Such a lovely flat and end result. Well done on the grill pan especially!

[@Sibernethy]

12:32 - She legitimately has never seen the bottom of that cutlery drainer. Let me tell you guys something about what living an isolated life in a box for 24+ years will do to the mind. I've lived in a box for 8 years and I've even suffered from cognitive and mental decline from being disconnected from the outside world for so long. This can happen to anyone and it leads to habits like this that make most people go "how hasn't she figured that out by now?" It's sad, and no matter to take lightly. I'm only 32. She had to have been twice my age at the time this video was recorded so it's amazing she hasn't lost her diction at this point.

[@AR-gg2su]

I would throw everything away and start from scratch.

[@LaLadybug2011]

She's such a sweet woman and very honest! Hopefully, someone gave her a magazine with some tips in it on how to keep your home. She told them she didn't know how-she also didn't know WHEN to do things. Bless her-I hope it got easier for her.

[@minotaurus82]

As long as that magazine didn't have a crossword in it!

[@carolynfastories7074]

I've been bingeing these episodes, thank you for uploading! These were my Uni days viewing, lots I hadn't watched. A lot of the people on this show probably have deep seated reasons why they have let their homes go to such disarray, they might be overwhelmed. Unfortunately Kim and Aggie's efforts might be undone, because they will likely not keep up the cleaning afterwards. It would have been helpful if the guests used this show as the chance for a big clear up before the show organised a chance to get a regular cleaner in. Good to watch Kim and Aggie sharing their savvy cleaning tips! x

[@anneroy4560]

This was 20 years ago ... I wonder what has happened to her ...

[@tinalakyou]

a dead body

[@raynuh138]

What do you think …

[@AGNETHAFALTSK0G]

@@anneroy4560 she enjoys doing crosswords with her friends at the bowling club but the house is slightly untidy!

[@chapman1569]

The musty smell is not only from the dirt but from a high humidity air., it makes dirt sort of greasy. A house with low levels of humidity would have dust that is lighter if I can say that. Cleaning is a must but maintaining a normal level of humidity is necessary to keep the level of spores low and inactive. She needs a dehumidifier, since the books retain a lot of humidity as well. The stairwell to her flat should be painted, but they didn't do that in the show. This lady is hopeless. One of my friend is like that, I helped her over the years but she can never keep up, her place is cluttered to the brim, no area to sit on, the chairs are piled up, and trails to move from one room to another. She is still a friend but I am not involving myself in her mess.

[@missprimproper1022]

I had a best friend for 34 years and I helped her no end of times - she was a shopaholic with mental health issues and hated cleaning. No matter how many times I helped her, within days it would be back to a filthy, cluttered state. I got her some counselling to deal with her issues but she would give up after a few sessions and wouldn't face what was really bothered her. She'd surround herself with things to feel secure. She will never change. I've moved to another county now so will not see her anymore but I know she will never change. So sad for her.

[@ellenentwisle5489]

Grammar correction: I would be so scared if I WERE in Kim s presence....get it right before going public....

[@griffin2263]

kim and aggie hated each other ..interesting that the show worked so well with them ..off camera they never talked to each other

[@aprilblossom9268]

Haha never knew that 😊 and there's me thinking how much fun it must be to have a cleaning buddy always!

[@Harry-fk5of]

I read that it was later on, in the final series. This was still early on

[@secretehouse7163]

Wow...i wonder why? I liked them both.

[@Harry-fk5of]

@@secretehouse7163 From what I read they just clashed with each other towards the end and they haven't spoken since then

[@micheladonofrio2285]

These people have more excuses for just being plain LAZY!

[@AR-gg2su]

How are these people hygenic with their bodies living in a dump

[@aprilblossom9268]

Having a Health Inspector Father might have brought about a rebellion in this lady.

[@tammyhall1008]

It’s very simple my Dear CLEAN UP AS YOU GO!!!!!

[@eleanorhogan8643]

Even though I do not normally wear glasses, if I was working with ammonia (and I would normally never use ammonia unless I really had to) I would wear glasses to protect my eyes, a disposable face mask and gloves to protect my face and hands AND wash my hands thoroughly after use.

[@AGNETHAFALTSK0G]

@@eleanorhogan8643 yes absolutely me too, the fumes can be very dangerous, especially for asthmatics.

[@eleanorhogan8643]

@@AGNETHAFALTSK0G Oh yes definitely.

[@MorticiasTwin07]

What did you soak it in? Mud?

More like excrement.

Typical trademark of Kim and Aggie coming in and being met by a stink.

[@ellenentwisle5489]

She s not all there,either....these people never change....you could put them in Buckingham Palace and the place would be a tip after a few days....great programme and love both presenters but what a disheartening job....still....their salary will certainly take the edge off it!!!!!!

Why is there a kitchen knife in the bathroom sink?

[@tanyadodson6847]

should had asked for help a lot time ago

[@Helga-fe5xl]

Wonder how much of a role autism plays in these cases

[@miradesnan38]

It's said that books are cleaner by use. So she has books and does not read them.

[@brigittegreenwood2970]

It'll take another 26 years, gross.

[@AGNETHAFALTSK0G]

15:15 why is there an incontinence cone on the kitchen floor??!

[@kasie680]

It’s a citrus juicer! 😂😂😂

[@lisakane6708]

Are these 2 ladies still together cleaning houses together?

[@sharong8511]

No they’re not. Apparently they didn’t get along with each other and didn’t even speak to one another unless they were being filmed in the final year of taping this show. There’s information online if you want to pursue it in more detail.

[@AGNETHAFALTSK0G]

@@lisakane6708 not often, the did film a further series in 2023 as a 'reunion ' of the two women as they had not spoken to each other off set in almost 22 years - but there were issues with licensing as the production company went into liquidation so unless another company can edit the recording we won't get to see them which is really sad.

[@kasie680]

This lady was raised in a home with staff I think! 😂

[@sharong8511]

People with this level of filth in their homes will not automatically become cleaning freaks merely by having others clean and organize. Intensive therapy is necessary to explore their psyches in my humble opinion.
