Families from Belfast and Newry feature in a brand new television show about a team of cleaners from Donegal who tour Ireland cleaning the country’s messiest homes.
Is Mise le Mess is a series all about the beauty and therapy of cleaning. Viewers can follow Derena Uí Dhochartaigh, Síle Ní Duibheannaigh and Colleen Nic Aodha as they dust bust, grapple with grime, clear out clutter and transform the messiest of homes.
As well as plenty of craic, Is Mise le Mess also offers deep insights and heartfelt discussions with the homeowners who need a helping hand…or three.
In Belfast the trio of cleaners meet ukulele player Nuala and her partner Mícheál who struggle to find a place to sit down and eat with the amount of clutter. The ladies are shocked when Nuala introduces them to her pet rats.
Also in Belfast, the effects of years of hoarding can be seen in mum of eight Faoileann’s garage, which is full to the brim with bits and bobs from the children’s various hobbies over the years.
In the case of Ciara in Donegal, it isn’t the garage but the attic that needs a good clear-out.
In Newry, Daria struggles with her health and is often too exhausted to clean. Her family of furry friends offers great companionship but doesn’t help much with the cleaning
Back in Belfast, the team meet working mum Kathy, who struggles to find time to keep on top of the cleaning. Along with her daughter Sadbh, the team devises several strategies to help her keep things clean and organised.
Dusters and rubber gloves at the ready as Derena, Síle and Colleen also share helpful tips and practical advice along the way so that you too can keep your home spick and span.
