She works hard for her money.
Libby Denny, a mum of two from the UK, is on a mission to clear out the terrifying hoarding houses in her area, one house at a time.
The proud owner of Yorkshire’s The Clean Up Company reveals that the pay for this dirtiest of jobs is at least good: $9,000 per filthy home.
“I think I’ve cleaned about 2,000 houses since I started,” says Denny, 29.
She calls her hefty pay hazard pay. Denney, who has been cleaning houses since she was 19, regularly demonstrates that she’s not going to waste a penny on a job that makes her sick. TikTok The account gives her 600,000 followers a look at some of the strangest situations she has had to endure.
“For three months I had to clean the mattress where the man had been dead,” she told SWNS. “When you’re in a place where a body has been, the smell can be awful.”
Despite what many would find unsettling, Denny shrugs it off and does the job, and believe it or not, he actually enjoys it.
“It’s the only thing I’m good at in life,” she added. “I loved it and it gave me great satisfaction. It just came naturally to me.”
The sophisticated princess runs a nine-to-five business, five days a week, charging clients thousands of dollars or more per session, depending on the urgency of the situation.
“I’ve seen pretty much everything and I’ve gotten used to it,” she admitted.
The young entrepreneur attributes her cleaning abilities to her trash-hauling dad, Billy, who would regularly accompany her on his cleaning routes when she was a little girl back in 2010.
“It was my dad who got me into this business by working with him and I haven’t looked back since,” she confessed.
Denny is now used to facing these “horrific living conditions”, but admitted there was something of a learning curve.
She finds that homeowners tend to feel “embarrassed” when they have to show her around their homes, but doing so allows her to see what’s to come: She’s found maggots, used needles and worse.
“Adults [diapers] “Once, the toilet was so dirty with feces and urine that it leaked every time I flushed it,” she revealed.
Denny sometimes ends up cleaning vacant houses for an entire day or even a week, but despite the hard work, the most satisfying part of the job, aside from the big check, is the results.
