How Clean is your House? Is a popular channel four programme documenting the filthy homes of UK residents. The hosts of the show Kim and Aggie recoil in horror every episode at the unsavoury conditions that some people choose to live in. We take a look at the cleaning supplies that are needed to tackle homes turned hovels to make sure that basic health and hygiene is in action.
Although television commercials are packed to the hilt with adverts for bacteria busting all purpose cleaners, the need for anti bacterial sprays is sometimes overstated. An element of common sense is required, and although it seems sensible to say that most people would mop up an area where raw meat has been prepared with a suitable spray, the guests of the show clearly miss this important health and hygiene point.
There are a wide variety of cleaning supplies that are manufactured to deal with all types of dirt, visible or microbial, and the daring duo happily go to work using these products to get horrible homes back to a standard where guests feel welcome and rats just walk on by. Surface cleaning can be carried out effectively and efficiently by using a multipurpose cleaner on skirting boards and window sills followed by a good Hoover of soft furnishings and a squirt of polish on wooden furniture.
Deep cleaning however requires some hardcore cleaning supplies. Scouring pads, scrubbing brushes and heavy duty Marigolds are order of the day to deal with kitchens and bathrooms that haven’t caught a whiff of pine fresh detergent for a decade! To perform a thorough deep clean, it is essential to buy a wide range of cleaning supplies that not only deal with in grained dirt and lime scale, but also tackle harmful build-up of bacteria.
Some of the homes that appear on the TV show have endured years of negligence and pose a real hazard to the health of anyone who enters. From excrement to engine oil, the show’s hosts really do have their work cut out to bring these homes up to a normal standard of cleanliness. If you are moving into a property that has seen this type of neglect, it is wise to purchase an arsenal of cleaning supplies that have the capabilities to tackle such conditions.
However, if you are seriously concerned about the health implications of entering a property, it is recommended that advice from a commercial cleaning company is sought, either that or put yourself forward for the next Kim and Aggie series!
