    She works hard for the money.

    Libby Denney, a brave mom of two from the UK, is on a mission to clean up her part of the world — one horrifying hoarder home at a time.

    At least the pay for doing this dirtiest of jobs is good, the proud proprietor of Yorkshire’s “The Clean Up Company” revealed — to the tune of $9,000 per abhorrent abode.

    “I would say I have cleaned around 2,000 houses since I started,” said Denney, 29.

    Call her steep fees hazard pay — Denney, who has been cleaning houses since she was 19, regularly shows herself earning every penny on a hurl-inducing TikTok account, which walks 600,000 followers through some of the most bizarre situations she is forced to endure.

    “I’ve had to clean a mattress where a man was dead on there for three months,” she told SWNS. “When there has been a body, the smell can be awful.”

    Although disturbing for many, Denney shrugs her shoulders and gets the job done — while, believe it or not, actually enjoying the work.

    “It seems to be the only thing I am good at in life,” she adds. “I loved it and got great satisfaction from it — it just came naturally to me.”

    “I have seen pretty much everything there is and I’ve got used to it,” she admitted.

    The young entrepreneur can credit her capacity for cleaning to her trash toting dad, Billy, who used to bring her on his routes when she was younger in 2010.

    “It was my dad that got me into it by going on a job with him and I’ve never looked back,” she professed.

    Although Denney is used to coming face to face with these “horrific living conditions” now, there was something of a learning curve, she confessed.

    She’s noticed homeowners tend to be “embarrassed” when they have to walk her through the home, but the walkthrough allows her to see what she’s getting into. She has found maggots, used needles, and worse.

    “There was adult [diapers] once, which had been soiled up with sh-t and p-ss and the toilet was leaking every time it got flushed,” she revealed.

    Sometimes, Denney finds herself cleaning a deserted house for an entire day or up to a week, but despite the exerted energy, the most satisfying part of the job, aside from the big check, are the results.

    “The before and after [pictures] make the job so worthwhile,” she said.
