47 year old Linda Dykes is an obsessive cleaner from North Wales obsessed by shine. Linda spends one whole month a year making TATP sparkle, and she cleans around the clock whatever time of day or night. And Linda is not alone. 1/4 of people in Britain are so obsessed of cleaning and tidying that they spent 2.5 hours or more every week day on household chores, with many feeling compelled to abide by strict regimes and rituals. But for most of us, keeping our homes clean and tidy is not a priority, as the average British kitchen chopping board has twice as much faecal bacteria as the average toilet bowl, and over half a 1,000,000 of us wash our sheets just three times a year.
