How clean is your house?"Part of my kitchen floor are thick with dust, grease, part of a broken mug, a few mummified oven-chips, a desiccated used teabag and a couple of pieces of cutlery", says Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic. To most people, that's filth. To some of us, that's dinner. Tell us about squalid homes or obsessive cleaners.

Goat RoombaGrowing up, I knew a family who were extraordinarily foul. Mad and alcoholic in equal measure, ‘cleaning’ meant burning parts of their house down. In the two decades I knew them, they never once cleaned their house. The last time I was there, the accumulation of bin bags outside their back door blocked out all natural sunlight.
At one point, they gained two pet goats. They heard that the goats would eat anything, and they thought that if they let the goats loose in their house like a sort-of primitive Roomba, that the goats would happily munch their way through 20 years of paper plates and used feminine products.
Instead, the goats ate the dogs’ food and shat everywhere. Soon, they had an inch of goat pellets to help visually set off the diaper mountain which had accumulated when their then-teenager was a baby.
They went on holiday and came back to only one goat.
A year later, you could still smell the rot from the road.
