Clean Sweep was an American television series that featured a team consisting of a host, an organizer, a designer, and a carpenter who helped homeowners clear one or two rooms of clutter in a two-day process. Original episodes of Clean Sweep aired on TLC from 2003 to 2005. In each episode of Clean Sweep, the host meets with the homeowners in the rooms to be cleaned. The production crew then moves the entire contents of the room outdoors. The host assists the homeowners with an initial half-hour sort of all the items into three areas: “keep,” “sell,” and “toss.” The process is then repeated by the organizer in a much more thorough manner. Meanwhile, the designer and carpenter renovate the rooms, usually painting them and constructing storage units such as closets, entertainment units, or cabinets. On the second day, a yard sale is held to dispose of the items in the “sell” category. The homeowners compete to sell the most, with the loser having to give up a sentimental item from the “keep” category. Once the rooms are renovated and the remaining items from the “keep” category are moved back into the house, the homeowners are brought in to be surprised by the final results.
