A glamorous German expat has shared her surprise at how dirty Australian shopping malls are after performing simple cleaning tests on them.
His findings were amazing with the dirtiest escalator located in Midland Gate and his hand wipe also turned pitch black at Westfield Innaloo.
Claremont Quarter came in as the third dirtiest and Samira admitted she was “shocked” by the result, while Karrinyup Shopping Center was the least dirty.
Images of their cleaning tests were uploaded to TikTok, where social media users shared their surprise with the results in Karrinyup.
‘Damn that’s really neat,’ wrote one person.
Another added: ‘I worked here. We clean. We Boujee like that.
‘Boujee’ is a slang term derived from the French word ‘bourgeois’ used to describe things as elegant.
Samira made headlines last year after posting a video of some of the biggest culture shock she experienced in Australia after moving from Cologne in northwest Germany.
The most prominent differences included the sky-high cost of parking and speeding tickets Down Under, along with outdoor barbecue areas, free public toilets and self-serve bottle shops, Samira revealed in a series of TikTok videos.
Samira was surprised by the fact that access to the pristine beaches was free.

Samira made headlines last year after posting a video of some of the biggest culture clashes in the country after moving from Cologne in northwest Germany.
‘You can go to any beach for free, whereas in Germany you literally have to pay a specific tax… who wants to pay for the beach?’ Samira asked.
Ticketed private beaches were once common along the northern and Baltic coasts, but a 2017 ruling by Germany’s federal court ordered that the public not be charged for walking or swimming on the country’s beaches.
Samira was also surprised by the free tap water available in Australian bars and restaurants and said that was not the case in her homeland.
“Sometimes if you ask for tap water, they don’t even give it to you, which is ridiculous,” he said.
Australian venues are legally required to provide ‘cold drinking water’ under the Liquor Regulation Act 2002, but whether water is served free or at ‘reasonable cost’ can vary between states and territories.
