A cleaning expert has revealed the "dirt-plagued" items she'd never have in her own home - including a toilet brush, wooden toilet seat and a dishwasher.
Libby Denney, 28, has been cleaning houses professionally for more than 10 years, so knows where dirt lingers.
She has created a "dirty list" of things she says are either extremely unhygienic or require unnecessary maintenance - which she'd never have in her own home.
The list of no-go items includes any form of toilet brush, wooden toilet seats, "dust magnet" freestanding baths, "filthy" hallway carpets and even dishwashers.
Libby also cautions against horizontal blinds and black taps saying without maintenance they can look "tatty" over time - also saying they are a "pain" to clean.
Libby, a mum of two from Malton, York, said: "I would advise against all these items - most are just plain unhygienic, and others require high maintenance – we have enough stress in our lives.
