In Britain today, more than six million of us employ domestic help in the form of cleaners - a job primarily done by the scores of immigrants arriving in the UK looking for work. What do the contents of our homes and our interactions with a workforce paid to clean up after us reveal about us?

It also tells the story of an invisible class struggling to earn a living and make a life in the UK.
