Sue and Noel Radford gave fans a tour of the 'terrible mess' in their house before kicking off a major deep clean while their kids went to school.
The parents of 22 shared a 10-minute video on their YouTube page showcasing the endless chores the couple have to deal with when tidying the kids' mess. Sue and Noel have to wait until their children return to school to be able to easily clean the 10-bedroom home in Morecambe.
Noel and Sue were in high spirits as they got started on the cleaning, with the former filming a vlog and giving fans a little tour of the house. Speaking to the camera, he explained: "This is the first time since Christmas that we're really having a right good tidy up of the house. The toys are out, stuff's everywhere… so just chaos."
Sue was busy stripping off the sofa cushions as she found a 'terrible' mess underneath. The sofa was covered in crumbs, papers, toys, and more mess. She told Noel to look at it, with her husband laughing as he said: "Oh, that's terrible."

"Let's have a quick look upstairs. This is what it looks like on a school morning..." Daughters Amy and Tilly's room was tidy and the only thing on the floor was a Lego box.

Max's living space was equally as clean and things only got messy when Noel started walking towards the staircase, which was covered in fluffy robes, shorts and ear muffs. "This is the trail of destruction from this morning," he said as he explained that they 'drop it off' when they're running up or down the stairs.

Right next to the hallways was Oscar, Casper and Archer's room, which had clothes strewn across the floor while none of their beds were made from the rush to get to school.
Noel explained he cleaned the top floor while Sue cleaned the living room and first floor. He made sure to show fans what the house looked like after the post-Christmas deep clean. The couple bought the 10-bedroom care home in Morecambe in 2004 and transformed it to suit their family.

The burgeoning Channel 5 brood, best known for their TV show 22 Kids & Counting, has amassed an incredible net worth over the years, enjoying incomes from their work as influencers and TV personalities as well as the owners of the very successful Radford's Pie Company.
Sue and Noel are proud parents to Chris, 34, Sophie, 30, Chloe, 28, Jack, 26, Daniel, 24, Luke, 23, Millie, 22, Katie, 21, James, 20, Ellie, 18, Aimee, 17, Josh, 16, Max, 15, Tillie, 13, Oscar, 12, Casper, 11, Hallie, eight, Phoebe, seven, Archie, six, Bonnie, five, and Heidie, three.
The supportive parents are in no rush to push any remaining adult children out of their house before they have a home of their own but do expect them to pay their way. Sue previously shared "We've always said if you want to buy somewhere, rent is dead money so we would rather you save that money up and stay at home for a bit longer. But me and Noel believe they should pay board, if they are earning we've always been brought up to pay board."
