Bea Elton, known online as Clean With Bea, deep cleans homes for free, helping people who are often struggling with their mental health or going through an incredibly difficult time.The jobs can be extreme, with some homes containing mice, maggots, years of built up rubbish and conditions that could be classed as biohazards.Bea transforms these spaces into clean, liveable homes and shares the journey with her six million followers online.But Bea’s work is about much more than cleaning. She is passionate about showing that people who are struggling need kindness and support, not judgement.In this conversation, Bea shares:- Why she started making cleaning content- The stories of the people she helps- How her work has grown into campaigning and driving social change- What motivates her to keep going and caring for peopleBea is a really special person.
