'Succeeds brilliantly in dismantling casual assumptions about the drudgery of cleaning - and about the kinds of people who do it for a living.' - THE GUARDIAN

'A jaw-dropping investigation' - THE BOOKSELLER

'A great book, well researched, funny and poignant. I loved it.' - KIT DE WAAL

Dishing the Dirt tells the jaw-dropping stories of London's house cleaners for the very first time.

We hear from immigrants who clean suburban family homes to butlers who manage the homes of the super wealthy, and from joyful cleaners and entrepreneurs to escaped victims of human trafficking.

Then there are women who dust nude and male cleaners who have to fight off wandering hands. And the crime scene cleaners.

With the revelation of Maid by Stephanie Land and the cleaning tips of Mrs Hinch's Hinch Yourself Happy, Dishing the Dirt will turn all of your assumptions about cleaners upside down.
