[bunniefuu]

Thank you for supporting your PBS station.

-[opening theme] -[Milo, Lofty, Lark] MILO!

MILO!

MILO!

-MILO! -[Milo giggles]

[Lark] Wee!

[laughter]

[Mum] Milo?

Have you tidied your room like I asked you to?

Oops! Nearly, Mum!

Quick!

Quick, under here!

Nice and tidy! Well... sort of!

[Mum] Hmm.

-[doorbell chimes] -A customer!

Oh, Milo!

Hello, Mrs Sweep! And what can we clean for you today?

Oh. Your counter could do with a onceover.

-It's a little dusty! -Oh. Umm... Right you are!

I'd help but my Cleaning Diary is so full!

Ooh! What sort of places do you clean, Mrs Sweep?

Oh, all sorts of places, Lark!

I've vacuumed the vet's and dusted at the dentist's.

I've mopped at the movie theatre,

and scrubbed at the supermarket!

I've even polished a whole palace!

My customers say that when Mrs Sweep cleans...

everything gleams!

Wow!

Ooh, my cleaners outfit's not gleaming though.

Well we can help with that!

[triumphant fanfare]

Brilliant! Tarah then!

We'll take these to Suds, Dad!

-Hi, Suds! -Hello, my bubbly-buddies!

And what have you got for me today?

It's a cleaner's outfit, Suds!

Ah-ha! Cleaning is something that I know a lot about.

[chuckles]

When I'm finished with these, they'll be spotless!

[all giggle]

[whirring]

Suds, do you have any cleaner's outfits we can wear?

Let me see.

- [upbeat music] - [clapping hands]

[bubbles pop]

[bubbling]

-Wow! -We're cleaners!

[Queen Mabel] Ah! But what will we do about cleaning the castle?

I'm very sorry, Queen Mabel, but it's an emergency!

-What's the problem, Mrs Sweep? -I'm supposed to be doing

my regular Wednesday clean of Queen Mabel's castle,

but someone has spilled some pickled onions

-at the Supermarket! -Sounds pongy!

You better believe it, Lofty.

They need me and my mop, super-quick!

I would clean the castle,

but I've got an urgent appointment at the crown fitters.

I thought I had lots of spare crowns,

but I can't find them anywhere!

Why don't we clean the castle?

Could you?

Well, you do look like skilled cleaners!

-[laughs] -Ok, you're hired!

-Yes! -How marvellous!

[giggles]

Now then, these are my best cleaning tools.

You've got your dusters, your brooms, mops...

What's that thing?

That, young Lark, is Vic The Vac!

The most super-duper high-powered vacuum cleaner

that money can buy!

But it's a bit too powerful for me.

Wow!

As I always say, when it comes to cleaning...

elbow grease gets the best results!

Don't worry, Mrs Sweep! We won't let you down!

Right. Here's a list of all the rooms that need cleaning!

That's a lot of rooms!

-[giggles] -It's a lot of castle!

Oh! Right then, I need to get to the supermarket.

-Gotta dash! -Ooh, dare I say,

any chance of a lift to the crown fitters?

[car honks]

What shall we clean first??

These fancy vases look very dusty!

I'll clean these books!

And these suits of armour are covered in cobwebs!

[sighs]

[Lofty humming]

-[gasps] -[sighs]

Phew! Cleaning is hard work.

How are we going to clean all these rooms

with these little things!

-[sighs] -We need something

that will suck up all this dust super-quickly!

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

I am if you're thinking...

[Milo, Lofty, Lark] Vic the Vac!

How does it work?

-[vacuum cleaner whirring] -Oh!

-Is it working? -I think so!

Let's turn it up. We'll be finished even faster!

[whirring gets louder]

[Milo] No!

[quirky music]

[all screaming]

Make it stop!

[all screaming]

It's out of control!

-[whirring stops] -Oh, phew!

It's sucked up more than just dust!

-We need to get it all out. -How?

Maybe this button makes Vic The Vac blow!

-No, Lofty! -[vacuum cleaner whirring]

[quirky music]

-[Milo gasps] -What have we done?

[sad music]

We've made Queen Mabel's castle a bit messy.

Oh... We haven't managed to clean the Royal Castle at all!

Being a cleaner's really hard.

[sighs]

Maybe we shouldn't have used Vic the Vac.

I think we tried to do things too quickly.

You're right, Lofty! What did Mrs Sweep say?

When it comes to cleaning...

[All] Elbow grease gets the best results!

It's not too late to get the best results

for Mrs Sweep, and Queen Mabel!

There you go, Vic the Vac!

Let's get cleaning!

[upbeat music]

[book clicking]

Milo? Lark?

-I didn't see that door earlier. -Not another room to clean!

We've already done every room on this floor.

This one isn't on the list!

Well, we are cleaners, so let's clean it.

Yoo-hoo! We're back!

Hi, Mrs Sweep. Hi, Queen Mabel!

Do you know, I couldn't find a single crown I liked.

-Very disappointing! -We've cleaned the whole castle!

I hope we've done a good job!

Time for the inspection, Queen Mabel!

[armour squeaking]

Hmm. Interesting.

My castle is absolutely...

completely... and utterly...

-PRISTINE! -[laughs]

[Milo, Lofty, Lark] Yeah!

We did all the rooms on the list!

We even did a room that wasn't on the list!

A room not on the list? Which room is that?

-This one! -Ah! Well I never!

All of my royal crowns!

I knew I'd left this room around here somewhere!

And it's spotless in here too!

Top cleaning, cleaners!

Yes!

[giggling]

And how did my little cleaners get on?

Oh Suds, it was brilliant!

We had to clean Queen Mabel's castle

and there were so many rooms!

We tried to do it the fast way,

with a really powerful cleaning machine,

but we made everything even messier!

But then we stopped cutting corners,

and cleaned the castle the proper way!

When I grow up, I think it would be amazing to be a...

CLEANER!
