How Clean is Your House?

Dynamic duo, Kim Woodburn and Aggie MacKenzie are back! They're still snooping around some of the most horrifyingly filthy homes imaginable, exposing the deepest and dirtiest corners.

Then when they've identified all the hidden horrors, we'll meet the owners to find out how the filth has got so out of hand.

Each episode of the program follows the same formula. Firstly, the viewers are briefly introduced to the residents of the home to be cleaned. Then, accompanied by a dramatic score of horror movie music, Kim and Aggie explore the abode on their own, examining the grime and often sniffing the foulest areas (this almost always leads to Kim stating that she will be physically sick, though she never is). Kim and Aggie then meet the residents before the cleaning begins, assisted by several professional cleaners. During this process, which takes up the bulk of the show, Kim and Aggie share tips for tackling particular cleaning tasks with the residents (and the viewers), often relying on traditional methods rather than expensive commercial cleaning products. At some point, Aggie takes swab samples from the filthiest areas of the house and has them analyzed in a lab, allowing her to reveal to the residents what bacteria and other nasties lurk within. Towards the end of the show, the residents are shown around their freshly cleaned home. In earlier series, episodes ended with Kim and Aggie visiting a few weeks later to check that the place was still clean and tidy.

Kim takes the role of a dominating woman, scolding residents for letting their homes get so bad with blunt observations and humorous insults. While cleaning, she wears a white outfit with her trademark fur-lined rubber gloves and pearls. Another trademark of hers is to wink and flirt with the men in the episode, in good fun. Meanwhile, Aggie assumes the "dirt detective" role, performing such tasks as the bacterial analysis. The duo has become well-known in the UK, to the extent that they are almost always referred to as just Kim and Aggie.

The show is light-hearted and often camp, falling more into the entertainment category than the factual genre. Much of the appeal comes from the almost voyeuristic pleasure of seeing how untidy some people let their houses become (many have not been cleaned for years), though the cleaning tips add some practical value to the show.
