Meet the woman who makes up to £2.6k-a-week cleaning hoarders' homes – and says “the dirtier the better”.br br Charlotte Bosanquet, 20, grew up cleaning her parents' bathroom and found a passion for transforming grubby homes.br br Charlotte studied social and criminal justice at university but took a gap year to clean homes full time and now makes up to £2.6k a week doing what she loves best.br br She often tackles homes with rubbish stacked so high it reaches the ceiling – and tries to clean these for free or at a low price.br br She loves being able to help people and finds cleaning “therapeutic”.br br Charlotte, who owns care cleaning services, from Sydney, Australia, said: “I always say the dirtier the better.br br “I make a big difference in people’s lives.br br “There is a big misunderstanding with why homes get the way they do.br br “I’m not going to judge them.br br “Hoarding isn’t laziness.”br br Charlotte had been working for a cleaning company alongside her studies before she lost her job after getting stuck in Fiji for a month in January 2022.br br She decided to go it alone in February 2022 and, after building up successful clientele, she took a gap year to launch her business.br br Now Charlotte gets stuck in helping hoarders clear their rubbish – which can sometimes take her days or months to complete.br br She said: “There are three stages.br br “They take the obvious rubbish, make a keep pile and a donate pile.br br “We go section by section.”br br Charlotte is currently cleaning a house with 17 years' worth of junk – piled up so high it reaches the ceiling.br br She said: “This one is huge.br br “We’ve just got started.br br “It’s going to be a good one.”br br Charlotte finds all sorts in hoarder homes – including unused appliances still in their boxes.br br She said: “People don’t realise how many valuables are in the piles.br br “We’ve found new microwaves and dishwashers – still in their packaging.br br “We’ve also found dead rats.br br “One we found a coin that turned out to be worth £21k under the carpet.br br “It was very exciting.”br br Charlotte loves being able to transform people’s lives as well their homes.br br She said: “I find it very therapeutic.br br “It’s rewarding.br br “One week we could make £2.5k.br br “But it’s more about the passion and helping people.br br “I try to help as much as possible.
