How Clean Is Your House

Anyone else watch this to make themselves feel better about their own house? I do as I can always think 'well at least my hob's clean' and 'I have hoovered in the last week so i'm not quite as bad'!!

I also like picking up lots of neat tricks - vinegar works brilliantly on a dirty hob and I want to try the vinegar and baking soda trick for cleaning a drain! They have lots of os ideas so I pick up lots of tips!
I'm playing all the right notes, just not necessarily in the right order!

    lol yeah. I think he was quite proud of it..... a bit of an anti award or something. I heard some of the things they had... like a hole in the floor in the near the toilet and other grubby things they had done.....! Made me feel better for not doing the dishwasher straight away once it's full!

    I thought you were asking how clean our own houses are - to which the reply would have been "you really don't want to know." :rotfl:
    (Not as bad as the programme though, honest.)
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
  • yep.. me.. and i watch supernanny to make me feel like a better mum.. ;-)
    my house isn't clean, its usually messy.. i hate housework and i have a toddler and me and the other half are really bad at cluttering surfaces.. but it tidies up ok in not too much time and its not unhygienic.. just untidy...

    It always makes me feel better and I love a giggle at their gagging sometimes I gag as well you can almost smell things festering _pale_ Our house is often messy but its clean where it needs to be hygeinic (bathroom, kitchen, dining room, floors)! Like the tips as well but never remember them :(
    Failure is only someone elses judgement.
    Without change there would be no butterflies.
    If its important to you, you'll find a way - if not, you'll find an excuse ! ~ Easy to say when you take money out of the equation!

    I watch it because it actually makes me get up and start doing a bit, while it's on.
  • In comparison to the programme I live in a spotlessly clean palace!

    I wonder if the people who have these homes ever invite people in? Imagine being offered a cup of tea? Are they lazy or mentally ill?
