Watched the above programme on C4 on Tuesday night. Expected there to be a bit of a debate about it on here but nothing so far !

Focussed on 2 firms in London - one specialising in and another trying to get in to the business of cleaning jobs where there is blood and/or dead bodies involved.

Apparently can charge 4 times as much if there is a dead body involved! Quoted the basic cleaners as earning wages of between £250 and £500 per week

Apart from the need for a strong stomach and a macabre sense of humour there didn't seem to be anything too "specialist" about what they were doing - wore bunny suits and face masks - sprayed a lot, scrubbed a lot, used a brush and shovel to put the "debris" in to clinical waste bags.

Anybody else see it ?

I saw it, what i noticed was that the boss went in Without a Mask.

Flies everywhere.

They did some work wiped their hands across their face with contaminated rubber gloves.

Chap did have a very prosperous business.

As it was a couple of years ago I wonder if other company succeeded in breaking into market.


Met a chap at Alltec open day who does it for Transport Police I think
