The internet is famous for making the unusual go viral. One such genre of the internet that has completely taken over social media is cleaning videos. Whether it be carpets or rooftops, cleaning videos get a ton of views on any video-sharing platform. Given the mass popularity of the genre, a professional pool cleaner who started posting his videos on TikTok has amassed more followers than Kim Kardashian on the platform.

The Guy Who Makes Videos About Cleaning Pools Gains More Followers Than Kim Kardashian
Miles, better known as “the P00lguy” talked to LADbible about gaining over 13 million followers on TikTok. Miles also opened up about some of his weirdest experiences cleaning pools during his 15-year-long career. The pool engineer first uploaded his video on TikTok two years ago, when the pandemic was starting to hit the streets.
After enjoying posting these videos for a while, Miles officially began his TikTok page. He shared, “Literally the first video I posted it was another green pool again. It just went crazy, the views within the day were mad and the comments and my phone was going nuts and it was like a part one of a part two,” he said. “[…] People were just going crazy messaging me […] so I posted the Part Two after the weekend and then that went viral.”

Miles originally thought the initial hype for his videos would die down in just six months, but he has come a long way since then. He continued, “The following just kept getting bigger and bigger. And then I started changing platforms as well. So I started on TikTok, and then moved over to Instagram.” After many requests, Miles considered expanding his empire and officially started his YouTube channel.
Speaking about his most bizarre experiences as a pool cleaner, Miles shared that he once had a car stuck inside a pool. Another time, it was a cow inside the pool. Although the job is “not the best paid job in the world,” Miles “loves” it and plans to continue doing it as long as he can.
