Are people's houses as bad as they show on 'How Clean is your House'!
Question: The UK programme is now showing in Greece 'How clean is your house?'.
I'm English but have been living in Greece for the past 20 yrs. I don't remember houses being that bad when I lived there 20 yrs ago! Is it a REAL programme ... meaning are there houses as bad as they show - do people really live in that awful state?
I remember when I was young - my grandparents house with no inside toilet and no bathroom ..no money .. an old terrace house - but it was spotless - you didn't shame yourself with a house anywhere near the state they show on that programme!
Aren't the people ashamed to let the rest of the country ..(and other countries) see what slobs they are? The bathrooms!!!! Kids sharing bedrooms with mouse droppings! It's so unbelievable for me! I get really ashamed when I watch it - that I'm even from the same country!
Real or not???? Or is dirt/poo/animal droppings added for tv entertainment?

I think they are real people with real houses and real problems...I do think that maybe they get 50 or 60 requests to go to houses and they choose the 15-20 worst....What also surprises me is that a lot of them didn't call themselves but their kids or parents or siblings did...
I know someone who let poo from the dog on the carpet of her kids room for more than two days and the grandma cleaned it up after the kids complained to her about an awful smell in their room while she was babysitting...The dog poo was right there in the middle of the room and neither of the parents bothered to pick it up or clean it....how awful/dreadful is that?
Yes, there are people who live like this, my mother in law had it, it is a medical condition, where they can't bare to throw things away, my mother in law had not thrown something away since the war!! She kept the pop man coming long after the kids had all grown up and left home, so her passage was full, floor to ceiling, of every kind of fizzy drink, every time they laid a lino on the bathroom floor, they just laid it on top of the old one, so you stepped up into the bathroom and the floor was the hight of the toilet bowl. I think people get the program in when they realise how big the impact is on the rest of the family, I would like to go back to the house 5 years later, as I am not convinced the fix lasts. My ex husband was so ashamed of his house he never invited me round, I thought it was me he was ashamed of and just showed up one day, got a dreadful shock. One plus side, my ex husband never gets sick, never. Has the immune system of an ox!
There are some quite bad places in the UK - where you really feel you should wear your wellies to go in! As a retired Social Worker, I've been in quite a few.
I must admit that we live in a complete shambles - both have hobbies which create loads of paperwork/correspondence and we are both bibliophiles and hoarders, well-trained from being brought up during the War when it was instilled in you to "Never throw anything away - it may come in useful". And it does - I have a young neighbour who is a near minimalist who is forever asking if I have a spare something - she had some but didn't need them at the time so threw them in the rubbish.
I am also a sentimentalist and can never discard a present from someone - they used part of their life to earn the money to choose and buy and wrap a gift, so in effect they are giving me a part of their lives. I can't throw away so precious a gift, and the memories such gifts hold become very dear as your friends pass on.
It is very easy to clean a place which is empty - dusting a thousand books takes time and effort.
Yes. I know at least one person whose house could feature on the programme.
4 children and a partner who makes a mess then refuses to cleanup after himself in a 2 bedroom house. She doesn't stand a chance.
thats my favorite show ...clean house with Necie from Reno 911...and yeah i think people are pigs for sure
Unfortunately yes. Some people are very lazy and disgusting.
