Germans are squirming over a tell-all book by a Polish cleaning lady which exposes her employers as tight-fisted, filthy homeowners who set traps to check work is completed. ‘Under German Beds; A Cleaning Lady Reveals All,’ by Justyna Polanska, is climbing the non-fiction charts after its release this month as Polanska reveals the dirty little secrets of the hypocrites she worked for.
She tells of the judge who kept cannabis plants confiscated by the police that she had to dust. Or there is the policeman who stormed a building site to arrest moonlighting workers and insisted she work for him on the black market. And numerous other employers - every one of whom did not want her to declare her earnings.
For 11 years she kept her silence, but now Germany’s dirty laundry is being well and truly aired in public. Justyna - a pseudonym - came to Germany to earn money and was shocked by what she saw. 'I thought everything was above board and so orderly, but nothing could be further from the truth when you look under peoples’ beds,' she said.
The things she saw included the mummified remains of a missing hamster, half a roast chicken, dog mess, two freshly pulled teeth and rotting milk cartons a year old. One woman rubbed the lenses of her glasses regularly with excrement to check up on whether or not she cleaned them. A judge stuck single strands of human hair across his desk drawers to find out whether or not she nosed around in them.
