Meet the Families

For Clean House: Search for the Messiest Home in the Country, the intrepid Clean House crew is hitting the road to find the most disastrous domicile in the nation. Sneak a peek at a few of the contenders they've found thus far—and check back soon for more news on all the harried homeowners.

The Herwig Family
St. Louis
A few years ago, Henrietta went a little hobby-crazy (three monkeys, photography, crafting, sewing...) and lost all interest in cleaning. Her home is now an out-of-control mess that continues to grow every day. Can Niecy and the Clean House team put an end to the monkey business and help tame this family's clutter?

The Mitchell Family
San Diego
Instead of Green Acres, the Mitchell farm has become clutter central. Pack rats Mom and Dad are out of control, crushed by piles of antiques and junk. Can Niecy and her team of experts help shovel out the muck and let this family bloom again?

The Winzer Family
Las Vegas
Foreclosure forces a Las Vegas family to move into an already cluttered childhood home. Will the Clean House gang turn the family's luck around, or will they roll snake eyes?

Check back soon for sneak peeks at more families, and stay tuned all season for dish on each episode!

  • mary spicer Wed, Mar 25, 2009, 5:57 AM

    2. I miss Niecy. Her cast is wonderful but she makes the show so much fun to watch.

  • Legena Wed, Mar 25, 2009, 10:35 PM

    3. why is matt leaving? I like him he is such funny guy on the show and i'm going to miss him. when is the person so suppose to start? I think trish is very funny she makes the show just like neicey

  • Barb Thu, Mar 26, 2009, 12:35 PM

    4. I enjoy the clean house show and staff but please can Matt possibly stop with the sexual comments. Maybe he needs a late night spin off show of his own.

  • Deb G Fri, Mar 27, 2009, 11:28 AM

    5. Where is Niecy? please someone let me know when and if she is coming back.

  • KarenM Fri, Mar 27, 2009, 3:22 PM

    6. I just want to say that I love the interaction between the current cast members! I also want to add that if for some reason Nicey can't be at a taping, can you either ONLY have Lisa Arch sub or no one at all???? Everyone else you've had (even though they seem like very nice ladies) just doesn't fit in. The show just doesn't flow right * * * * know what I mean? Nicey and her posse just flow together so well * * * Lisa should be your only substitute, she fits into the flow well * * * however, Nicey is extremely hard to top!Thanks for your attention.A "Clean House," "Clean House Comes Clean"

  • What a Horrible Show Sat, Mar 28, 2009, 12:53 PM

    7. Oh my god. This is by far one of the worst television shows I have ever seen. When they are not wrestling toys away from children they are hanging tacky cr*p and car parts (YES CAR PARTS!!!) on the walls. It is like a poor man's version of Cash in th Attic without the concern for the families. On Cash in the Attic they find the items in the back of the closets and cabinets that the people do not use and sell them at auction for a good price. On this ridiculous show, they sell all the unique valuable items that the people still use and leave the junk for the families. They also manage to sell valuable items for NOTHING. They just sold 2 vintage collectible dolls that would have pulled in a good price at auction or on ebay for 1 dollar each. That is ridiculous. A word about your designer. He is pathetic, he has no sense of style, and every one of his "creations" looks like it came out of page 5 of the IKEA catalog. Oh, in case you don't realize. THATS A BAD THING.

  • ntampa Sat, Mar 28, 2009, 1:21 PM

    8. where's Niecy, and is she coming back??

  • Monica Sat, Mar 28, 2009, 2:57 PM

    9. When is niecy coming back to host?

  • Felecia Sat, Mar 28, 2009, 9:41 PM

    10. THANK GOD NIECY IS COMING BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was such a HUGE disappointment everytime I turn to Clean House and I do not see her on there. I just change the channel. She just seems to pull the show together and completes the crew. Glad she's back!

  • Melva ordonez Sun, Mar 29, 2009, 6:24 PM

    11. you guys are fantastic!!!!!! but, do you ever go back to those houses a while after is clean to see if they keep it clean?

  • Brenda Lockhart Mon, Mar 30, 2009, 3:31 PM

    12. Clean House is the most stupid show on TV. People who are lazy slobs get rewarded!!! Wow, what a concept. A show like this doesn't even belong on the Style Network. What does cleaning someone's house have to do with Style?? Split Ends is a great show, and actually has something to do with Style. Too bad we can't see more of shows like that!! Brenda L.

  • Las Vegas Tue, Mar 31, 2009, 8:29 PM

    13. I love this show!! This show makes me motivated to clean the house and start painting. I agree with the other comments without Niecy the show is not the same at all!! OH and Matt is great!! And not bad to look at. He can come to my house anytime and be my handyman!!!

  • Dawn Wood Wed, Apr 1, 2009, 9:48 AM

    14. If you don't like "Clean House"then don't watch it! I love it! And the decor people get is totally based on what they sell.The reason they are on in the first place is because they are pigs!So anything is an improvement.And the reason car parts were used is because the owners wouldnt part with them!Don't blame Mark!Nothing makes me madder than when the homeowners worry about what the home is gonna look like.Because it doesn't matter.Before it was disgusting so ANYTHING is better than a pigsty.Don't look a gift horse in the mouth people!Be Thankful!And keep up the good work Clean House!

  • David Wed, Apr 1, 2009, 7:05 PM

    15. Dear Style Network, I just finished to watch the clean house show, and realized that in order to get miracles done to your home it is necessary to be the filthiest, unorganized, laziest and careless persons on earth. It is very disappointing that people that are like that get rewarded for their careless sense of life.My wife and I didn?t like the show today. I could be the volunteer for everything but I can never disregard my home shores, a closet full of cat poop, not picking up stuff in the house, keeping the trash inside instead of walking it out. Etc, etc... There have to be an end to this. I think that this programs should be given to people that really need them, Maybe poor people for a chance. I don't need this nor I would ever get any of these changes in my home, I understand the concept of the program but what I don't understand is the selection process. I am not saying that the program is bad. Not at all, but the people need to be better chosen.

  • Jamie Fri, Apr 3, 2009, 4:00 PM

    16. NO MORE SUBS!! Please Please bring Niecy back. The show is not the same * It is so dry without her. She keeps it fun. Niecy actually motivates me to clean during the commercials.

  • Simone Fri, Apr 3, 2009, 4:29 PM

    17. NIECY!!. ok your birthday week has past ** you lived it up in ATL and beyond, now its time to get back in front of the Clean House cameras!! WE MISS YOU. p.s. happy belated birthday.

  • dave Sat, Apr 4, 2009, 7:05 AM

    18. I caught an episode last night...it was the one with the husband.father who had died and in the house, there was his old Martin D-35. I was cringing at the thought of that piece going into a garage sale. I have to admit, it would be enticing to take advantage of such a great deal, but my conscious would not allow it. I would feel compelled to tell the owner that the guitar was worth way more than 1500. And when they tried to put it inthe Salvation Army truck... Oh my... Next time, if they see old Gibson acoustics, or old Martins...they should consult with someone first.

  • Sharin Potter Mon, Apr 6, 2009, 5:54 AM

    19. Hey, !mein-how r u all? Trying again-to get u all here-Hollhywood, Florida that is, not Cal.,I could really use r help! IIf u come my way-I will make u the best ice tea

  • Karen Mon, Apr 6, 2009, 6:47 AM

    20. Need to know is Niecy coming back The others are ok but Niecy thebest?

  • Kristina Goddard Mon, Apr 6, 2009, 11:08 AM

    21. Dear niecy, Where have you been. I do not like to watch Clean House without you. I have to agree with all the other blogger's.It is not the same without You. Love Kristina Goddard from Reno

  • Debbie Louden Tue, Apr 7, 2009, 10:08 AM

    22. Can anyone tell me....PLEASE......Is Niecy Nash coming back to the show. The show just isn't the same with out her. PLEASE BRING HER BACK.

  • Queenie Wed, Apr 8, 2009, 9:07 PM

    23. I just watched the Ra'oof family episode and I would like for you to relay this to those four beautiful women. As a middle-aged woman who just returned to school for a career change, I want to tell all four of them what an inspiration they are. I too have been to retail therapy many times and I'm learning that a happy home life will always keep us out of the mall. You four the best role models for women of ANY age.

  • Karen in WI Sun, Apr 12, 2009, 4:20 PM

    24. I agree Neicy is awesome. She really lets those homeowners have it (when they deserve it) and really clicks so nicely with the other cast members. I'd like to see a follow up show as well, like the comes clean episodes, but catching up on the families about 6 months to a year later, just to see how they are doing and if the cleanliness is still there.

  • The Keiper Wed, Apr 15, 2009, 5:16 PM

    25. Dear Clean House We are a family of four with three dogs and lots of fish. The big problem I'm contacting you about is that we live in a two bed room two bath condo that is less than 900 square feet. Seven years ago we and my kids moved in and the clutter began ** We got married 11/20/2004 and the constant fighting baout it is started to breaks us apart. We really need your HELP. We live in a small town by the name of Titusville in the state of Florida. PLEASE HELP US ***** Sincerely Jamie

  • Gail VanMatre Fri, Apr 17, 2009, 7:20 PM

    26. Is Matt really leaving the show. When is he leaving, and does anyone know where he is going. I sure hope this is not true. He is so funny. I've seen other go to guys, and Matt has the Go to Guy hands down. If anyone can let me know, I would love to know. Also, does anyone know if they filmed the show in Balltimore yet, Id love to go to the yard sale.Thanks

    30. I live in florida and loved your show and would like to see back some of the people that got their house cleaned, and see how they are keeping with it. thanks.

  • maria balderas Mon, May 18, 2009, 11:24 PM

    31. I enjoy your show very much. I would like to know when would you ever come to the orange county for a clean house. i like to visit a yard sale of yours.

  • Louis Wed, May 20, 2009, 8:49 AM

    32. I just saw the St. Louis couple on a local tv program. They pretty much made your show out to be a fraud. They said you came in and made their house messier than what it really was. I wish I would have known, I'd lie for free stuff too!

  • Rebecca Wed, May 20, 2009, 11:16 AM

    33. I have a house that there is no need to make it even messier that is how messy this house is. Can someone please help my mom *

  • Janice Gabrelow Wed, May 20, 2009, 2:39 PM

    34. Today I watched the first show for the Messiest Home this year. Imagine my surprise when Matt Iseman was not in it. Eugene is very cute, but where is Matt?

  • Tricia Mittelsteadt Wed, May 20, 2009, 7:27 PM

    35. I LOVE Clean House....especially Matt Iseman. I was excited to tune in to the new season where they have 7 new shows searching out the messiest homes in the country. I was shocked when I saw someone other than Matt as the "go-to guy". WHERE IS MATT??? The show won't be the same if Niecy, Mark, Trish and Matt are not together. Matt is still on the cast section of Clean House so there is no info on why he isn't on this first show. Please help me find out that is going on and why Matt is not there!!

  • Christina Burns Wed, May 20, 2009, 7:59 PM

    36. What is going on here? Where is Matt? If Matt was going to miss some of the shows or is no longer a cast memeber why did they not just say so? It feels like they just tried to sneak in this Eugene guy on and hoped no one would notice. When Niecy was filming her movie that was announced so you would think the same respect would be given with Matty.

  • cindy CKLEY Wed, May 20, 2009, 8:05 PM

    37. Okay, I have rode through all the changes through all these years, I have loved these shows and have enjoyed each and every one of the episodes. But tonight I watched the episode filmed in St. Louis and Matt was not on it. Now, this is where i draw the line. He is the best. He goes, I go, Cindy Ackley, Grant City, MO

  • Sylvia Bulloch Wed, May 20, 2009, 8:21 PM

    38. I watched the show tonight (May 20, 2009), where is Matt? Is he coming back?

  • Adriane Wed, May 20, 2009, 10:36 PM

    39. Where is Matt? We got Niecy back and now we lost Matt? Ugh!!

  • Marianne Thu, May 21, 2009, 1:16 PM

    40. OMG! I just watched the show with the people with the monkeys. WHERE IS MATT??!!!!!!!! WHERE IS MATT??!!!! I hope he's not off the show!!!! It will never be the same without him..BRING MATT BACK!!!!!!

  • Mary Crowder Fri, May 22, 2009, 4:40 PM

    41. I love clean house with MATT, MARK, TRISH AND NICEY. If we lose any of them the show is not any good and I will not watch. I even watch all of the reruns and I think they are great but clean house without Matt or Nicey is not clean house.

  • MARY Sat, May 23, 2009, 3:51 PM

    42. WILL YOU AND YOUR TEAM EVER COME TO SIMPSONVILLE, SC 29680. I WATCH YOUR SHOW ALL THE TIME. ALSO HGTV.. I CLICK BACK

  • rhonda Wed, May 27, 2009, 7:47 PM

    43. So what gives? All these new shows don't have MATT!!! I sure hope he's not gone, and he's still on the bio section of the site. If he's left the show....it would be nice to tell the viewers instead of tossing in "Go To Guy Eugene" with no explanation. Do Tell!!

  • Judith Andrade Sun, May 31, 2009, 1:00 PM

    44. Hi nicey, I want to know if you guys ever go to Las Vegas. I divorce my husband 9 years ago. He has had a difficult time dealing with our divorce and has to much memories at his home. Too much clutter. We have 3 children together and the youngest one has moved in to help him clean house. His fiance is pregnant and is over welmed with all the clutter. If you guys can help them. I feel their lives will be much happier. I don't know how else to help them? Thank you * Concern Mother and Friend

  • Jackie Tue, Jun 2, 2009, 11:56 AM

    45. The Dragon Family * This woman is absolutely a ****** NOTHING satisfied her and her house was HORRIBLE.

  • Jackie Tue, Jun 2, 2009, 12:00 PM

    46. The Dragon Family episode * Mark * you did a fabulous job!!! Nicey * I don't know how you didn't go off on this lady!!! I have thought about making a huge mess in my house just to get Clean House to come and help me get organized!!!Oh by the way * I tell everyone I know in my next life I'm coming back as Nicey!!!!

  • ella Fri, Jun 12, 2009, 9:38 AM

    47. does anyone know how to find past show videos of clean sweep? I entered the name of the family I'm looking for in the search box, but it comes up empty. I also tried the date of the show, still nothing. If anyone knows where to look, please let me know. Thank You.

  • Linda Sun, Jun 14, 2009, 9:29 PM

    48. I would like to know when the family from Baltimore will be on the messiest house. I was born and raised in Baltimore but now living in Florida. I love the show but miss seeing Matt. Just not the same without him.

  • Kathy Sun, Jun 21, 2009, 7:38 PM

    49. It seems to me that many of the people on the show have very deep psychological problems, anxiety, depression, paranoia, attachment disorders, and on and on. Their attachment to objects is a symptom of neurosis at least and possibly severe personality disorder. Is any counseling or aftercare offered to these people? The show itself is pretty superficial, except for the "talks" with Niecy, but I really question doing a clean up externally and leaving all the obvious psychological problems unresolved.

  • Annette Mon, Jun 22, 2009, 7:05 PM

    50. What happen to the Buechler's (The Baltimore, Maryland Family) episode, for messiest house in the country 2009? It was in the line up, but by airing night it was replaced by another family. More importantly, WHERE IS MATT?
