IF YOU’VE ever wondered how a council house gets prepared for a new tenant to move in, a team of extreme cleaners can fill you in on a thing or two.
While some homes are left pristine, with little left to do before a new family moves into the space, others are a little worse for wear.
But luckily there’s a team of elite people who go into the dirty spaces to work their magic and get it looking sparkling and new again.
In a video posted on YouTube channel Filth, viewers could hear the voice of John Sergeant narrating the TV show Grimefighters, which ran for four seasons between 2009 and 2011.
Explaining that they were heading into a third floor council flat in Ipswich, he said that the person living there had vacated and left all her belongings behind.
Barry, Gary, Cedric and Sam all made their way into the property with their high-vis jackets on.

“But it’s not going to be easy,” John said as they walked in and complained about the “dog mess everywhere”.
The camera panned across the floor to show the amount of dog that had been left all around.
“I’m wondering if they piled up the dog food and left the dog here,” Sam said, pointing towards the stack in the corner of the room.
The narrator then shared: “The abandoned dog has since been rescued, but not before leaving a mindfield.”

He continued: “They soon get an impression on who has been living here.”
Two of the cleaners then picked up a black jumper off the floor and showed the camera what was written on the back as it read: “Council Estate Princess’.
As the men laughed over this, John said: “It seems this is the story of the princess and the poo”.
Cedric then found a bottle of perfume, which he sprayed in a room in an attempt to mask the smell.
The very first thing they decided to tackle was to clear out the hallway leading to the front door, which would allow them to manoeuvre without treading on poo.
Barry then claimed that if you touch dog faeces and then touch your eye by mistake, it could make you lose your eyesight in “some cases”.

John then further explained that he was referring to toxocariasis, which is an infection transmitted from animals to humans caused by the parasitic roundworms commonly found in the intestine of dogs and cats.
Meanwhile, Cedric was less than pleased by how “sticky” the flat seemed to be.
Sam then shared that everything out of the dog’s reach, such as countertops, were left reasonably clean. But the floors were left in a sorry state.
He then opened up the fridge to find a plastic bag full of meat and an opened can of vegetables, both of which had gone bad.
They had also left bread in the cupboard for two months, which had completely moulded over.
And the washing machine also had clothes left inside.
Once everything was clear, they were able to work together to get everything out of the flat, including the couch, mattress, and more.
They then went over every surface with a mop, to make the flat smell “a bit sweeter” with his “anti-poo potion”.
Once the men had worked their magic, they left a “sparkling home” that was ready for new residents to move in.
“The contents of the flat has filled two trucks and now it’s off to the dump,” John said as the YouTube clip came to an end.
People flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts on the work the men were doing.
One appreciative person wrote: “I once had a new neighbour moving into the house across the road. I introduced myself and got into conversation. He told me "I'm just a bin man."
“I answered him by saying that his job was more important than mine as an engineer because without him we'd all be living in a world of shit.These guys are awesome.”

A third said: “I do this for my job. It always amazes me how some places are left and what we find while clearing the places out”.
