JEAN Carlton is a woman who really gets into her work.
Petite Mrs Carlton, 56, of East Stanley, County Durham, is offering a wheelie bin cleaning service. For £2-a-time, householders can have their bins cleaned inside and out.
But 5ft 1in Mrs Carlton has to climb into the bins to do her work.
"I tried a long-handled broom, but it wasn't the same," she said. "It has caused a bit of hilarity for people passing by."
The scheme came out of a drive to raise cash for her local church, St Andrew's, in Stanley.
"Everyone taking part was given £5 each and told to make as much with it as possible," she said.
"A lot of people hold events like coffee mornings, but I wanted to try something a bit different," she said. "I wanted to do something that reached people outside of the church."
