The concept
In "Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners" people with or without diagnosed, rarely overcome obsessive-compulsive disorder (compulsive cleaning and orderliness ) meet people with messie syndrome in order to put their heavily soiled and run-down houses in order. Those suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder want to help the residents on the one hand and counteract their own disturbance on the other hand in order to reduce the daily cleaning routine of several hours to a socially acceptable level.
In addition, other, sometimes very extensive cleaning projects and comparable other disgusting challenges are built into the series, e.g. B. entering a mobile toilet cubicle that requires cleaning or cleaning old, used mattresses. A measuring device, which can determine the germ content on surfaces, regularly shows existing soiling in different places. The device also checks whether a cleaning action was successful.
