This footage shows cleaners targeting seats on the Tube - and reveals just how much dirt is lurking.

Cleaner Steven James, 55, started posting cleaning videos from “high traffic areas” on his Instagram in 2020 - including a theatre.

The lighthearted content was intended to promote his carpet cleaning business, Mr Carpet Clean, which he has been running for seven years.

Now, the Hertfordshire dad-of-five has gone viral over a clip of him and his team steam cleaning seats on a moving Northern Line tube.

00:00And the train seats is something that really intrigues me as to how they could be so filthy.
00:04Ladies and gents, this dirty water is what me and the team extracted from a handful of train seats.
00:09Looking grim? Absolutely.
00:11Let's go back to the beginning.
00:13And after a quick pre-spray and some agitation, we've got to work on these heavily soiled carriage seats.
00:19As you'll get to see, the dirt we're extracting is vast and in my professional opinion, a long-term issue.
00:25Is it therapeutic? Of course it is.
00:27But in this moment, we just want to leave the seats clean and smelling fresh for the commuters.
00:33Lucky for you and me, I've assembled a team of guys dedicated and fully committed to the profession.
00:39And we are capable of cleaning the entire train in a two and a half to three hour window.
00:43By the way, we're doing this on a moving train, so there were some challenges.
00:49On a daily basis, we clean all carpets and upholstery throughout London and the home counties, as many of you know.
00:55And the train seats is something that really intrigues me as to how they could be so filthy.
01:00I just had to give it a go to see the results.
01:03It's mad, really.
01:05As the saying goes, the camera never lies, nor does the dump bucket.
01:10As you can see, these are the results.
01:14I'll leave you with this thought though, but how much of this do you actually take home?
