Why We Rated This on for Ages 6 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Shows families working together to clean their homes and organize their lives.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Not an issue.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Clorox products are specifically referenced many times throughout each episode, with close-ups on the cleaners being used. The host's helpful hints usually mention them by name, too: "I would have liked to have seen that cleaned a little better with the Clorox Clean-up." Molly Maid also gets publicity, since its services are part of the winners' prize.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Clean This House!

Parents need to know that as the featured families compete to de-clutter, re-organize, and clean their houses, they toss years' worth of junk -- including some stuff the kids think they can't do without, which can cause some pouting. There are lots of plugs for Clorox cleaning products -- with the camera often zooming in on the products in action or giving the host the chance to explain why they're so useful -- but only adults will be bothered by this blatant, monotonous advertising. On the upside, the amazing transformations within the houses may inspire viewers to roll up their sleeves and give their own homes a thorough going-over.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about why it's important to keep living spaces clean and clutter-free. Kids, how does it feel when your room is a mess? Does it interrupt the way you live and play? Is it easier when things are organized? How would you re-organize your room if you could? What tools (boxes, shelves, furniture) would you need? Why is it important to keep your home free of dirt and germs? Parents can give kids daily chores and use a checklist or responsibility chart for monitoring the tasks.
