Professional cleaner Alyssa claims she can’t stand showering at other people’s houses because there’s a spot everyone forgets to clean – and it’s seriously gross.

In a recent social media post, she wrote: “Some people call it OCD (which it might be), but I just want to feel comfortable OK!?”
Alyssa filmed herself using a sturdy brush to scrub away at the gaps between the tiles of a shower.
As she continued working at the grout, brown dirt began flowing into the bathtub.
“A lot of people don’t understand why I’m so weird about showering in showers that aren’t mine and this right here is why,” she said.
“This is just an example and before you all come for me I get it, life is hard and people don’t want to be deep cleaning their shower all the time.
“That’s why they hire me, I clean for a living.”
Justifying her disgust at other showers, she explained: “But if it’s my own shower, which this is at my new rental house, I’m going to clean it until I feel like it’s even halfway decent.”
Alyssa has been professionally cleaning people’s homes for years and knows just about everything there is to know about dirt, grime and how to get rid of it.
Her advice is so popular, she’s got over half a million followers on TikTok and she’s been blowing our minds with wild hacks and disgusting places we never think to clean.
Reacting to the gross video, one user admitted: “This made my stomach hurt.”
A second replied: “I cannot stand showers with tiles in them. I just feel like there’s bacteria all up in the little crevices.”
And a third said: “Damn I need to clean my shower.”
Alyssa’s not the only one who is grossed out by bathroom grime.
According to Deyan Dimitrov, CEO of Laundryheap, there’s tonnes of spots just teeming with bacteria – and we don’t even know about them.
If you’ve got a bath mat, the chances are you haven’t washed it since you bought it, and that means it’s crawling with bacteria.
Experts say they should be washed once a week
And when was the last time you checked out your shower curtain?
Those orange marks are dirt, but you can easily banish bacteria by putting it in the washing machine on a gentle wash once a month.
