Reviews

'This is a remarkable story about life in a line of work most of us couldn’t countenance. Macabre at times, for sure, but also profoundly moving.' Adrian Chiles 'From murder scenes to whale blubber, Ben Giles has seen it – and cleaned it – all. In their stickiest hours, people rely on him to restore order.' Guardian 'Extreme cleaner Ben Giles has spent 25 years perfecting the knack of eliminating any and every stain caused by spills, severings and explosions from crime scenes.' BBC News 'Giles has dealt with every worst case cleaning scenario you can think of, entrusted by the police and training up to 500 others a year on how to deal with trauma cleaning and biohazard sites.' Daily Mail


'This is a remarkable story about life in a line of work most of us couldn’t countenance. Macabre at times, for sure, but also profoundly moving.' Adrian Chiles 'From murder scenes to whale blubber, Ben Giles has seen it – and cleaned it – all. In their stickiest hours, people rely on him to restore order.' Guardian 'During 30 years on the job, Giles has gone boilersuited and rubber-booted into scenes no one else would want to touch. He has scoured blood from window blinds after murders, expunged human fat from house walls, and cleaned a dead whale from the keel of a container ship.' The Times 'Giles has dealt with every worst case cleaning scenario you can think of, entrusted by the police and training up to 500 others a year on how to deal with trauma cleaning and biohazard sites.' Daily Mail
