Spanish influencer criticises Britons for standards of cleanliness after being told to ‘lower her expectations’ when she moved to the UK

A Spanish influencer who’s lived in the UK for more than a decade has slammed Britons for their poor hygiene habits.

Carmen Agraz, originally from Andalusia, complained that people in Britain simply aren’t clean enough.

The influencer, who boasts 95,700 followers on Instagram, recalled the moment she realised people in the UK have different hygiene habits to those in Spain.

Carmen explained that when she moved into her new flat in the UK, she was told that it had been cleaned by a professional team, but was horrified to find traces of ketchup and hairs on the carpet.

When Carmen rang her landlord to enquire about the cleaning service, she was stunned to be told she must alter her expectations.

She said: ‘They told me my cleanliness standards were very high’.

Carmen went on to explain the instances that she was upset with.

‘I knew the previous tenant who lived here had ketchup, [because] there were traces on the furniture,’ she said.

Another thing Carmen was flabbergasted by was the UK’s love of carpeted floors.

When she moved in, she quickly realised that ‘the previous tenant was a redhead’ because she found the matted carpet floor full of ginger hairs.

The influencer ended up having to do a deep clean of the place before she could stomach settling in. 

She would like to return to her home in Córdoba, Andalusia, but there is one thing stopping her. 

She explained in her Instagram bio: ‘I wanted to return to Spain, but I fell in love with an Englishman.’

It comes after an Aussie mum has been left baffled after noticing her British friends using plastic buckets to do their washing up.

The confused mum took to a popular cleaning group on Facebook to ask about the ‘odd’ habit.

‘Why do Brits use a plastic bowl in the kitchen sink?’ she questioned.

And people were quick to comment with some noting it is a habit from days where homes ‘only had one sink’.

‘I am Scottish, but we used the basin so we can tip things down the sink without running away the full sink of water,’ she said.

Another added it makes rinsing things easier.

‘Nothing more annoying than washing dishes and having to rinse something filthy in the washing water,’ one woman said.

‘Usually when emptying tea dregs out of the many cups of tea.’

One Aussie woman who had lived in England for years said it is because English people typically have their washing machines in the kitchen.

‘The sink is regarded as the laundry tub, people don’t think they should use it for kitchen washing and laundry washing,’ she said.

Since moving, the influencer has shared content around the UK, including at London's Tower Bridge

Another said she always did it to ‘save water’.

‘It is to save water, also soapy water is good for plants because it keeps the bugs away,’ added another.

And apparently the habit is hard to shake.

‘I still use it in Australia, much to everyone’s amusement.’

Others said Australians should take the hack on board, and use the water in their gardens.

One woman, who uses a grey water hose from her washing machine to water the grass said she managed to have green grass through the last major droughts.

‘Drought is predicted after the past few years of floods. We all need to reduce, reuse, recycle more.’

But many others disagree.

‘My in-laws in the UK do this and I hate it. Whenever we stay there I want to clean up and feel like removing the tub each time. They say it is cleaner and more hygienic than washing in the sink,’ one woman added.
