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.

I had a job onceit was the summer before I went to university, and my parents told me to get a job doing something manual just to remind myself not to slack off. So I took a job cleaning holiday homes. It was before any illness so I was fit, the pay wasn't terrible and I thought it couldn't possibly be that bad.
To give the occupants of the holiday homes their due it wasn't terrible. Apart from the layer of grime, the discarded condoms and the hair clogging the shower. The only thing that made me retch really badly was the discovery of a dead rat in a fridge in one place and a collection of dead skin, toenail and finger clippings and scabs in another house. Luckily since I was in training the other woman dealt with those.
I'm ashamed to say I lasted two days
