Not for the shock or gross out value but for the tips they give every episode. The tip they gave using instant coffee on my wood floor to stain it did the trick nicely! I have one bad spot from a chair that has wheels and that was amazingly simple and effective.While I really don't care for the disgusting houses, I do find it incredible that they can do what they do. I would find it completely daunting (and I can relate to that daunting feeling now - and my house is nowhere near as bad as the best they've had!I want this on DVD so I can study their tips. Simple, often ecologically friendly (sour milk as a brass cleaner?), and effective.Brilliant show! I am hoping for the DVD version!

This show isn't for everyone; there are, for the most part, endings to the episodes that will seem similar to others. In fact, most endings are the same. But the show is a rarity--two interesting ladies who, from week to week, go into interesting situations and make things right. It need not get any more complex than that. Kim and Aggie are smart, pretty and funny and their personalities come through nicely. In short, it's 30 minutes that the whole family can safely watch that won't insult anyone's intelligence. If you're in search of something in a more dramatic and amusing genre, try Monk. Otherwise, this is as good as a lot of TV gets.

This show is not judgemental. Period. It's simply Kim and Aggie going into completely FILTHY homes and educating the inhabitants in cleanliness. These people, although seemingly very nice, are utter, disease and bacteria growing slobs. I knew there were people in this world who are hoarders and those that don't like to clean. I don't know anyone who likes to clean, but come on. I had no idea so many people live in pig sties. With babies even! I love this show because I used to think I was a bad housekeeper. No, I'm just disorganized. And if Aggie ran a swab over my kitchen counter she would *not* find fecal streptococci. Ewww.I also like the fact that Kim and Aggie, for all the camp of the show truly do understand people who are this dirty have an underlying problem or problems and are quite kind to them. Good cleaning tips anyone can do for "cheap and cheerful" as they say.

"How Clean is your House?" lets us look at some of the filthiest houses in Britain - and the boneheads inside them who haven't bothered to keep them clean. This is essentially a humiliation for the people who live in the filthy houses presented every week, and a warning to people who also live in houses as filthy as the ones we see - be warned, you could be nationally humiliated...Though it is fun to watch, full of disgusting imagery and information (crusty brown donuts around the toilet bowl, anyone?) and Kim and Aggie's constant changing of many characters, this show is so damn predictable that you feel insulted. Every episode - you know how it's going to end - Kim and Aggie are going to clean the house up and "they all lived happily ever after". Nobody featured on the show seems to rebel against Kim and Aggie - could this all be a studio-filmed, pre-written never-ending series with actors? This is what ruins "How Clean is your House?" so much, and is also the reason why it will never get a DVD release.On the whole, this show never passes on the gross-outs and general disorder, though there really is little else on offer. It would be much better if it had a variety of different outcomes - could we have some people who will never change, or people who drive K&A out of their house? 5/10
