Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners

Another brilliant programme about hoarding but this time from a different angle. this time it focuses on the people who obsessively clean and have OCD.

the programme takes these cleaning lovers and uses their knowledge and skills to help people who hoard and generally have very messy homes. the first episode showed the house of a man who used to be an antiques collector and after time the amount of clutter in his house just spiraled out of control.

its a very interesting programme and its good to see the other side of it for a change rather than just focusing on the people who live in mess. because there is the same amount of people who have the polar opposite problem so its good that they can help watch other with their conditions.



Programme Synopsis


Linda's first recruit is 31-year-old Richard Searle, who is obsessed with order, organisation and tidiness. Richard is paired with Christopher Sylvester, a retired antiques dealer whose stone Victorian cottage is overrun with collectibles and bric-a-brac.
Linda also recruits germaphobe Michele Murray, who sets off to help Richard Pugh: he hasn't cleaned his flat since he moved in four years ago.
And Linda and her cleaning gang head to Leatherhead to help The Pitstop, a drop-in centre for the vulnerable and the homeless.
SERIES SYNOPSIS
Linda Dykes is a compulsive cleaner from North Wales. She loves cleaning so much she's set up her own cleaning agency.
Linda believes that compulsive cleaners have a special set of skills that could change the habits of the nation, and so she's teaming up with other obsessive cleaners to help clean Britain's dirty homes and filthy public spaces.
Each week these compulsive cleaners are carefully matched with someone whose home is in dire need of a major 'spring clean'.
