Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
PodBill Just what I expected
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
tsmith417 I love this show but I don't think I've ever seen an entire episode because every time they give a cleaning tip I have to jump up and try it, and every time they show someone dusting under the bed or around the ceiling I go running for my Swiffer.Seriously, though, what I really like about this show is that the homeowners are involved in the cleaning process and are shown how to clean properly, and then are given information about the nasty little bugs and germs that they've been living with due to their sheer laziness, and have you ever noticed that a good percentage of the homeowners are suffering from respiratory ailments that are easily cured or mitigated by nothing more complicated than a weekly dose of housecleaning? I also appreciate that the homeowners are not rewarded for their laziness and filthy living habits, as they are in similar American versions of this show, with new furniture and the services of a professional interior designer; all these people ever get is what they had to begin with, only cleaner.I would love for this or any "clean-up" show to go back not two weeks later, but one year later, to see if anything they were told sunk in and if they did indeed change their way of life. Unfortunately I fear that with some of these people it's a little bit more than just not wanting to clean or not knowing how to clean; that there are underlying psychological problems that are not, and really cannot be addressed.I know more than a few people here in the good ole US-of-A who could benefit from a visit from Kim and Aggie, but you'll have to excuse me now, because I just noticed a crumb on the floor that needs to be dealt with.
too_sweet_too_sassy Not for the shock or gross out value but for the tips they give every episode. The tip they gave using instant coffee on my wood floor to stain it did the trick nicely! I have one bad spot from a chair that has wheels and that was amazingly simple and effective.While I really don't care for the disgusting houses, I do find it incredible that they can do what they do. I would find it completely daunting (and I can relate to that daunting feeling now - and my house is nowhere near as bad as the best they've had!I want this on DVD so I can study their tips. Simple, often ecologically friendly (sour milk as a brass cleaner?), and effective.Brilliant show! I am hoping for the DVD version!
pipchicks This show is not judgemental. Period. It's simply Kim and Aggie going into completely FILTHY homes and educating the inhabitants in cleanliness. These people, although seemingly very nice, are utter, disease and bacteria growing slobs. I knew there were people in this world who are hoarders and those that don't like to clean. I don't know anyone who likes to clean, but come on. I had no idea so many people live in pig sties. With babies even! I love this show because I used to think I was a bad housekeeper. No, I'm just disorganized. And if Aggie ran a swab over my kitchen counter she would *not* find fecal streptococci. Ewww.I also like the fact that Kim and Aggie, for all the camp of the show truly do understand people who are this dirty have an underlying problem or problems and are quite kind to them. Good cleaning tips anyone can do for "cheap and cheerful" as they say.
general-melchett "How Clean is your House?" lets us look at some of the filthiest houses in Britain - and the boneheads inside them who haven't bothered to keep them clean. This is essentially a humiliation for the people who live in the filthy houses presented every week, and a warning to people who also live in houses as filthy as the ones we see - be warned, you could be nationally humiliated...Though it is fun to watch, full of disgusting imagery and information (crusty brown donuts around the toilet bowl, anyone?) and Kim and Aggie's constant changing of many characters, this show is so damn predictable that you feel insulted. Every episode - you know how it's going to end - Kim and Aggie are going to clean the house up and "they all lived happily ever after". Nobody featured on the show seems to rebel against Kim and Aggie - could this all be a studio-filmed, pre-written never-ending series with actors? This is what ruins "How Clean is your House?" so much, and is also the reason why it will never get a DVD release.On the whole, this show never passes on the gross-outs and general disorder, though there really is little else on offer. It would be much better if it had a variety of different outcomes - could we have some people who will never change, or people who drive K&A out of their house? 5/10
