An extreme cleaning company has released a picture gallery of its dirtiest jobs – including a house filled with 400 bags of human excrement and more than 250 bottles of urine.

Husband and wife Leanne and Kenny Elliott clean up stomach-churning mess on a daily basis.

The couple have now released a series of shocking pictures showcasing some of their most disgusting encounters.

In addition to the dumped bodily fluids that took five hours to clear, the couple have tackled rooms with every available inch covered with filth and dealt with one ‘tiny’ flat that generated four tonnes of rubbish.


Other pictures that make their horror gallery include a garden area piled high with dozens of bin bags, a heavily-soiled mattress and a toilet totally coated in filth.



They were also called to do a clean at one home where they found more than 30,000 used needles.

Leanne, 48, a former teacher from Callington, Cornwall, said: ‘We had to empty a flat of rubbish and bodily fluids.

‘There were 270 50ml bottles of urine and 400 bags of poo. There were 70 bottles of urine in the airing cupboard as well as poo in the bath.’

The couple run two businesses – Certitude Cleaning Services Ltd and Traumatic Clean Up, which involves crime-scene cleaning.

The couple say their sense of humour gets them through some of the toughest situations.

Leanne added: ‘Kenny’s son Ryan, who works with us, picked the smallest straw and spent five hours discarding urine and poo.

‘How do you cope with something like that? You make sure you don’t pick the short straw.

‘And you wear a good mask, white suits, gloves and make sure your water bottle is unique so you don’t mix things up!

‘Sifting through items is the most difficult because whilst you believe that most people live in a safe environment, in our job we have to be aware of drug paraphernalia, which is sometimes not thought about when we are booked to carry out the work.

‘A needle sweep takes time to protect not only our operatives, but those in the refuse and recycling centre and at other times we come across the most unusual items.

‘Like four-tonnes of rubbish out of one tiny flat or hundreds of bottles of urine and hundreds of bags of human faeces out of another property.

‘Obviously these are bodily fluids and need to be disposed of properly. In this case, the toilet was salvageable and we were able to empty the contents this way.’

Six months after starting their business, the couple were called to a property in Plymouth, Devon, to perform a needle sweep.

Kenny, 51, said: ‘The flat was empty, all the furniture was there and the tenants had gone.

‘She said there was about 50 dirty needles and one sharps box, and a tin of human waste in a paint tin, not a problem.

‘We went in there got the skips, got all the rubbish, started ripping it out. We found a box of sharps, then we found another box and then another.’



Kenny said that they found 360 sharps boxes that drug users are given from the chemist, and around eight or nine hospital sized boxes.

In total there were 33,500 used needles in the property.

Leanne added: ‘We called the police in the end, because we found a substance in there.

‘The police said it was one of the largest amounts of needles they had seen in a property and we’d only been doing the job for six months.

The needles are not easy to find, Leanne adds. ‘It’s where they hide the needles,’ she says.

‘When you say needle in a haystack, that’s exactly what you’re talking about.’
