Dishing the Dirt

Many Britons employ a cleaner. Once an upper class luxury, domestic help is now a middle class necessity. Yet, what do we really know of the incomers who toil behind closed doors? What is their story? And how do they see us?
 
Dishing the Dirt tells the story of house cleaners for the first time. Drawing on dozens of interviews, we hear from the eastern Europeans who mop up family homes and from south Asians who wipe down mansions. We talk to joyful cleaners and to slave labourers, women who dust nude for men, gay cleaners, and butlers who pamper millionaires.
