In a recent clip, Tracey showed off her youngest daughter Scarlett’s room, which was classically messy for a teenager.
The 13-year-old had piles of clothes, shoes and accessories lying around and Tracey didn’t like the mess.
But one person responded to the video saying: “Travelers are immaculate, this shows she doesn’t follow her cleaning habits.”
The mother of four was quick to respond, stating that she must hand in her ‘gypsy license’.
Tracey said: “Oh my God, that made me laugh.”
“I’m dirty, so I’m going to hand in my gypsy license,” she added.
But Tracey wasn’t going to take it lying down and showed viewers around her immaculate home.
She started in the front room, where everything was perfect and spotless.
Then she went to the hallway where there was a barrier to stop her dogs from climbing the stairs before going to the bathroom.
It was immaculate, with matching floral furniture and not a speck of dust in sight.
Her red and gold floral kitchen was also kept clean and tidy, with dinnerware decorating the oven.
Tracey added: “Our homes are immaculate. But we have children.
“We have teenagers trying on different clothes, makeup, everything.”
The clip has since gone viral on her TikTok account @traceywinter1 with more than 200 thousand views and 5 thousand likes.
Facts about Gypsy and Traveler communities
Typically, Gypsies is a term used to describe the Romani people, who migrated from India to Europe.
Meanwhile, Traveler refers to a group of people who generally have Irish, Scottish or English heritage.
It turns out that around 300,000 Romani and Irish Traveler gypsies live in the UK.
However, both groups come from nomadic lifestyles, and as it is increasingly difficult to find land to live on, many are moving into permanent housing.
They highly value family life and often live together even after they reach adulthood and get married.
Men are often the breadwinners of the family while women stay at home.
Although many English Gypsy girls are allowed to drink alcohol and go on vacation with friends before getting married, many Irish Traveler girls are not allowed to do this.
People were quick to praise Tracey’s incredible home.
One person wrote: “You have a beautiful house, it’s spotless, I’ve never seen a house so clean.”
Another commented: “Beautiful house!”
“I’m a traveler and I have feral kids and a dog at my house so I need to turn in my license too,” wrote a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth said: “I don’t think she was saying her house is dirty, she’s saying Scarlett doesn’t follow the gypsy way of cleaning.”
“Don’t pay attention, you should be proud of yourself. Your house is beautiful,” said a fifth.
Another person added: “Wow this is one of the best houses I’ve ever seen, I absolutely love everything about it. How do you keep it so clean?”
It was soon realized that the person who left the comment was saying that Scarlett didn’t follow Tracey’s clean ways.
But Tracey proved that it was by showing Scarlett helping her mother with the vacuum cleaner.
