A cleaner, from Clayton-le-Woods, is hoping to outstrip all expectations after she posed for a saucy charity calendar.

Karoline Finch stripped more than just floors when she bared all and posed with cleaning products to raise money for Pink, the breast cancer awareness branch of Cancer Research UK.

The Calendar Girls-style calendar features staff from cleaning company Jani-King in a variety of cleaning poses, their modesty covered by strategically placed pink mops and buckets, fluffy dusters and of course pink rubber gloves.

Karoline, 40, who has owned her Jani-King cleaning business since August 2004, drove an eight hour round trip to take part in the photo-shoot at the company's headquarters in Kingston-upon-Thames.

She was then professionally made-up before posing for a leading photographer.

Karoline said: "It was very important to me to support the company in their efforts to raise money for such a worthwhile cause.

"Also, my father died of cancer, and as most of my cleaners are women, supporting breast cancer is something that we can all really relate to.

"It's been part of a year long 'cleaning up for Pink' campaign and we've raised over £18,000 to date.

"I was a little nervous on the way down to the photo-shoot, but when I got there everyone made me feel really welcome and it was really good fun."

The shoot also gave Karoline the chance to show off her new slimline figure after a year of dieting.

"I've lost 54 pounds over the last year so it was a personal achievement for me as well.

"My husband Ray and three sons, Mark, Christopher and Dennis are really proud of me as were my friends and family, they've ordered loads of calendars," she said.

The company is hoping to sell more than 1,000 calendars nationwide which would raise at least another £4,000 for the charity.

The calendar is priced at £5.99 and is on sale now. It can be ordered through Jani-King's Customer Services Department on 020 8481 4302.
