Episode synopsis
Sunny and Jeff Hannon are married and have a son named Jackson. They're having some major problems with their office and Sunny's sewing room: the office is piled with papers and equipment, while the sewing room is barely recognizable as that due to mannequins, fabric everywhere and other assorted clutter. Shelli Alexander shows these two that when it comes to clutter, they have another thing coming, as she helps them to lose what they don't need and organize the rest in a useful manner. Molly Luetkemeyer gets down to business on the redesign of the rooms. The Clean Sweep fights rain for most of the first day, but still manages to deliver big-time. The office is completely redone with an opening coffee table with storage space, special areas for the office eqipment, a new bookshelf and the door removed from the closet so it all seems like one big room. The sewing room is remade into two distinct areas. Sunny is given an attractive, feminine sewing room, while closet is made Jeff's only
About Clean Sweep
Clean Sweep was an American television series that involved a team consisting of a host, an organizer, designer, and carpenter who help homeowners clear one or two rooms of clutter in a two-day process. Original episodes of Clean Sweep aired on TLC in 2003 through 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 then 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 the rooms 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 moved back into the house, the homeowners are brought in to be surprised by the final results.
