It depends on if your asking about the filth of the job or the story behind the filth.

Nastiest Job site: A hoarder's home in CA. The toilet was filled with dead rats and feces that towered above the toilet seat. The kitchen had about 200-300 mcdonalds cups filled with urine and feces. We ended up throwing away a few dead cats and had to beat the shit out of a HUGE rat that kept running through our legs.

Worst Backstory: Well..we ended up having to clean a pool of blood out of a Toddler's playroom. That's all the details I'd want to share.

I'm sure there are more, but those two come to mind right away.

Yes! I'm glad you asked this question. It reminds me of the time we were cleaning a families' house where the parents were hoarders. One of their kids (teenager) had a violent streak. He found out that we were cleaning in his room and went ballistic. He started walking up and down the hallway with a knife attached to a rope and he started swinging it around. We ran out to the vehicle while the parents called the cops.

Turns out all the holes in the walls were caused by him doing that before.

Honestly, I'm not sure. There were a few jobs that really made me feel uneasy, and one that made me walk outside and gag. If anything, I am a super clean freak now. I notice every little detail in my house and I can't relax until I feel like everything is clean.

Also, I still feel like gagging when I see really gross stuff on TV.

It's not as intense as the movies make it seem. The team I worked with were close friends and we really enjoyed our work. We always had a great attitude. The most important thing was music. We carried a speaker to every job site and had a playlist ready to go. It made the days go by faster and definitely changed the atmosphere.

Also, the movies like to make out the cleaners as awkward and morbid people, but we are all very social and normal guys.

Hoarders. It wasn't so much the filth (most of the time), but the clients we had to deal with. Usually, it was a relative or friend that called us in too clean it and the hoarder was not happy. They would threaten us physically, and even had a lady try to cast spells on us because we threw away some candles.
