The Dirtiest House In Britain | Dirtbusters E1 | Our Stories

Nowhere is safe from grime and rubbish. In the towns of northern England there's plenty of filth for the Dirtbusters to clean up. In Oldham, clean-up double act Dianne and Stella take on the worst case of squalor they have encountered in their combined 30 years of experience. They are cleaning up ex-fairground worker John's rubbish-filled home, which has not enjoyed the attention of a mop and bucket for more than a decade and nasty surprises lurk in the many dark corners the women bravely probe.

[philcollinson]

These guys are amazing. I could not hold them in higher respects for what they do.

[aliciahoverson]

Those ladies are excellent at what they do. Wow, i could never have done that without getting sick 😳

[halfbakedproductions]

My place feels like a sterile lab environment compared to this.

I live in south africa we are considered to be a third world country. Many of our people don't have electricity or running water and live in shacks made from corrugated iron or mud huts but their homes are immaculate. This is quite eye opening

“Plenty of filth in north England”, is that a little underhand slight there.

[rainbowkitten]

Respect. Your. Home!!! Some people don’t even have one.

[katefevre]

Disgusting. Sick of excuses that someone is sick, mentally or has health issues. My cousin is in a wheel chair, uses a special vaccume cleaner, does all her dishes, makes her bed, puts the trash out. She respects her home.

[CosmosesJones]

Haha isnt that the same Phil from that Vice documentary about the UKs Scariest Debt Collector? Cause that was in Warrington as well

[AdrianJames-lc]

Plenty of rats at the moment in houses of parliament that need dealing with 🤔

[iona]

That guys house they cleaned doesn’t deserve to live there. He needs to be in a care home so someone that is actually grateful can have a chance.

[kreh]

I love these people!! What would we do without these❤❤

[susanbetts]

Those two women work so incredibly hard!

[chetgoodenough]

I like how the touch their mask with dirty gloves then put it right back on their face

[galegrazutis]

[doloresvlog]

[KimSmith-bv]

1. Time for people to get composts.
2. Not buying quantity but quality.
3. Buy as natural products as you can. No plastic clothes etc.

[Gloriaogden]

Thought the lady in the thumbnail was the resident of the home 🤣😳

[jessa]

With john, im like really come in and clean it for him and send him the bill....first of all he isnt gonna pay the bill 2nd his place is gonna b the same way again in a matter of months. I think he has mental issues that need to be addressed. This cleaning up for him isnt helping anything 😔 I condone these people for all they do I couldn't do it
