How Clean Is Your House Season 5 Episode 7

Another home full of clutter and filth, but this time there are Dan's hobby rockets in the mess. Aggie picks up the grimiest computer keyboard she has ever seen. She asks Dan when he last had any company in there and he said the last person was a policeman who came to talk to him about his explosive devices.

In the kitchen, the cooker is so clogged with grease, Dan only uses the microwave. Rubbish overflows the bins. They find a crusty sink and moldy food in the frig.

Kim enters Dan's bedroom and says, "This is the love nest, a bed of action?! I doubt it." Clothing and clutter everywhere. The girls stumble over things to climb through.

Kim & Aggie take Dan onto the street to speak with neighborhood girls. They are shown pictures of Dan's dirty house and asked if they would ever consent to go out with him or go to his house. You can imagine the replies! One said she would never ask him to cook for her!

Aggie took samples and swabs at various locations of the house, including the keyboard.

1. Mildewed plastic molding at the window: 2 small paper cups of water, add 20 drops of tea tree oil. Put in a sprayer and spritz on. Wipe off with a dry cloth. Kim did a side by side test of a commercial cleaner and her non-chemical homemade cleaner and they cleaned exactly alike. Go for the homemade!

2. Dust Mites in mattress: wash bedding in hot water, vacuum mattress once a week.

3. Mirrors: 2 cups of water and 2 capfuls of white vinegar. Put in sprayer and spritz on. Wipe off and buff with newspapers.

4. Dirty crusty toilet: 3 parts Borax to 1 part pure lemon juice. Make into a paste. Empty toilet bowl and spread paste on sides of bowl. Leave for 15 mintes. Scrub with a brush or a very fine sandpaper moistened with water.

Lab results are back and Bacillus dominates the house, even killing off other bacteria. Aggie says he'll likely get food poisoning. It was found on the toilet brush, the mattress, the frig, over the entire house. Dermatophytes also were found. There was also staphylococcus on the PC keyboard

Before, the kitchen speciality was grease and grime. Now it can serve up any dish of the day.

Before, the bathroom was a health hazard, the toilet ..treacherous. Now it is a sanctuary of cleanliness and calm.

Before, the bedroom was knee deep in dirty laundry and dusty. Now it is transformed into a haven for relaxation.

Before, the lounge was lost under layers of rockets and rubbish. Now it is set for Dan's social life.

Dan says, "This has changed my life and it's going to keep changing for awhile."

Eli says, "I am so excited, this is the first I've been here in years. Kim and Aggie, I'm pleased you've come." (Lensmaster note: what an absolutely darling boy!)
