A CLEANER was reduced to tears after clearing out a hoarder’s revolting house piled high with greasy takeaway boxes and bottles of urine.
Self-employed cleaner Rayann McMullan, 25, responded to a Facebook post by a landlord imploring for someone to clear out a former tenant’s mess.

Rayann spent the following two days clearing the cluttered apartment in Droylsden, Greater Manchester – wrestling through pizza boxes, rotting food and bottles filled with the former resident’s urine last month.
Clearing the towering pile of pizza boxes took an incredible four hours to complete – with Rayann making a number of lung-busting trips up and down the stairs to dispose of the greasy cardboard.
The stomach-churning task left the cleaner “scarred” by the state of the flat – with the experience reducing the mum to tears on several occasions.
Rayann said: “I got really excited when I was offered the job and then the landlord sent me a video.
“When I got down to doing the dirty part, and all of the clear out, I thought, ‘oh no, what have I got myself into?’
“There was stale food everywhere, and thousands and thousands of pizza boxes.
“They were like some kind of pizza-obsessed hoarder.
“I can’t tell you how many times I started crying because I didn’t want to do it.

“That job has scarred me, all I can picture in my head is pizza boxes. Whenever I see a pizza box now it’s like, ‘oh no, flashbacks’.”
The traumatic gig has had a silver lining, however, with the mum receiving numerous job offers on the back of the impressive turnaround.
Rayann said: “I’ve had a lot of people message and ring me for cleans – I can’t keep up with it.
“Since posting and sharing it into other pages on Facebook, another landlord has reached out with another property like that.
“I did think, ‘Oh no, not another one’, but I’m determined to do it.
“I am happy I did it. I am really pleased with the transformation that I’ve done, so I can give myself a pat on the back for that.”
