Professional cleaner shares grimmest jobs ever – including loo that took nearly 2 hours

A professional cleaner has shared the grimiest and grossest things she has come across while cleaning other people’s homes.

Chelsi Quenet discovered her love for cleaning while on maternity leave with her daughter Frankie, three.

Soon after she launched a cleaning company with her with her Aunt Becky and four other family and friends.

The 28-year-old says she has been elbow-deep in all kinds of grime as she hires her services to landlords for grotty post-tenancy deep cleans – and she says the dirtier the better.

The mum of two says the worst has included festering toilets and mould-covered fridges.

Chelsi, from Colchester, Essex, said: “I’ve seen some pretty grimy things. But I like it – it’s boring cleaning something which is already clean!

“I’d rather help someone who is struggling so they can get their place looking nice again.”

Chelsi often posts dramatic before and after transformations on her TikTok account – raking in over 40,000 followers and millions of views.

One of her more memorable cleans featured a brown mouldy toilet in a wet room – which took one and a quarter hours to clean compared to her standard minute-long toilet clean.

The second included a mouldy fridge full of rotting food – which she said “smelt like a dead person’s breath – after they’d eaten a load of cabbage.”

She said: “It was the smelliest thing I’ve ever done – I couldn’t believe it.

“Luckily it only took about half an hour because it came off quite easily.”

But she said these are the most satisfying to complete because she can achieve a “quite dramatic” transformation.

But Chelsis worst ever clean was a shipping container people had been living in, which hadn’t been cleaned in MONTHS.

She said: “It was so dirty. It was cold too and took hours!

“When something starts really bad, the reactions are always better because the owners can’t believe they are so clean!

“It makes it a lot more fun and exciting.”
