I have watched a lot of cleaning shows, but the compassionate non-judging message this one sent brought me to tears. What lovely men!
I couldn't agree more.
We had a similar show in France in the 2000's and the 2 women where always judging, talking to these people like there were their moms. They were SO irritating and it seemed like they couldn't understand why these people were living like this.
I don't know when I came to understand that too in my life (when I was a teen I think) but I try to spread the same message around me. It's so important and can really make a difference.
I agree. The non judgemental approach demonstrates true caring
Bless these two. What a poor widower.
Yes quite beautiful!
Yes! Hate them shows want to analyze and traumatize just clean the damn house.You aint gonna fix them in one shows time.
That poor man, losing his wife and his son within weeks of each other! I lost my dearly beloved parents and my son within one year, so I understand the terrible depression that can put a person into. Jamie and Steve are incredibly kindhearted men to clean so well, and to bring the man back to a home he can be proud of.
I think it was his wife and then his best friend who died, Joyce.
I’m so truly sorry for your Loss Joyce. Bless you x
I wish my parents would die
@@notaghere what country are you from : okay
I lost my parents 8 weeks apart.
My first thought was his wife must have done all of the cleaning. Can't you just throw out the trash. But then I do understand that depression and sorrow from the loss of a loved one can stop your normal thinking. Bless these people for helping.
It's very hard to lose a spouse. I have had a difficult time since my husband died. Sometimes it's because I figure it's only me eh why bother? Losing my husband and then my friend who lived in our mother in law apt was indescribably difficult. No one wanted to visit. I wo uh ld cook and could not give food away, so felt really challenged to have any kind of soc ializing. It's not as easy as people think.
@@EmmieTuesday sending strength your way
The fact that you took the time to reflect and see from his perspective of grieving instead of instantly judging. ❤ we need more people to have that mentality. ❤ good on you hun. And I love these people too. Much kinder than on hoarders 200%
@Emmie Tuesday: Very sorry to hear that. Hope things get better for you. I felt lost when my only sister died - that was bad enough.
If it was that easy, no one would be in this situation.
Can't believe that carpet was really such a beautiful blue under all that dust and grime.
Yes! I thought it was green!
I would have tossed the carpet. What tools are those? Amazing job but too much time.
@@annettecarter9393 I agree with you if doing it yourself, but these guys are professionals who have all the equipment already. It's worth it for them. Also carpet is a great insulator, so if it can be rescued, especially in a colder climate, it may be worth it.
@@annettecarter9393 there is a vacuum cleaner that has water in it and it really sucks the dirt out .. we used them for our rugs to deep clean them Bc we had dogs . Maybe they use that first and then just a normal vacuum after ?
It was a gorgeous royal blue
People's surroundings that they live in can be a representation of what their mind is like, sometimes mental health is crippling leaving you unable to carry out the most basic self care tasks. All the best Alan!
couldn’t put it any better
This is so true Sam. What a God send for Allan. Im so happy for him to have normality back. Thank you Father Jesus for these Good Human Beings that helped Allan. Its terrific what these good men done for him. May all of us Good Human Beings get the help we need when in crisis Amen xxxxxxx
Very well said.
So true u worded it perfectly. It’s a shame people judge first before realising this really does happen and closer to home than you probably think
So true.
Probably people have tried to help but he wasnt ready ..Im happy for this man new lease of life.
Kind words that you've said ..
Blessings 🌻
This is called depression.
Brave man to show the world.. He will strat to heal and hopefully start living his life ..
Bless the guys and for showing him respect 😁
Blessings 🌿

Don't be so quick to judge another person ..... you never ever know what their story is! Non-judgement and respect goes a long way!
Doesn't matter what story they have but having a shithole of a house is no excuse. He could have lived in a better condition. He was lazy and has no care for hygiene
@@banglaline3859 he was grieving and in a depressive state. in that state of mind it's impossible to even think about taking care of yourself let alone your whole house.
Yes we all have had depression and grief but we need to get ourselves sorted out at some point. It’s not neglected. It’s living in a shit hole. Sorry. I have had mental and physical disabilities my home would never get to this point. If I can’t manage I pay someone to do cleaning and get assistance. Sorry I couldn’t cope. It’s like the dump.
@@charm8167 ..... everyone is different ..... there isn't 2 people the same in the world and therefore each person is unique. Unfortunately some people are worse off than others.
Clean your house anyways because uncleanliness can kill
I think the cleaner-men saved this man from falling into a deeper depression and worse. A tidy, clean, well-organized home allows that man to become mentally healthy.
these guys didnt just clean, they went above and beyond... his house was turned around, great job
Agreed
@@squeak6119 😂 u arent very far
@@squeak6119
Ditto
I would suggest the go back and put 2 trash barrels in every room. Give him two years worth of trash bags. And a house cleaning service for two months..
I totally get how the poor old fella went into such a decline after losing his wife and best friend.
Our own family’s loss, sent me into a type of shutdown and my girls had to motivate me everyday.
Almost 7 years later and I’m only just starting to climb out of that dark hole.
I hope he is coping better 💜
❤️
🍀🤞🏻🤗
Alan, you poor guy. You must've had such a dreadful time! Take care and fond thoughts to you. All the very best mate!
Kind men , I dont have a good relationship wit m father but I go each month for 2 days or 3 to clean the house since my lovely mom passed away
You have a soft heart that's why.God will give it back to you some day.
This series breaks and warms my heart at the same time. Bless these cleaners for helping people who desperately need it; depression can do a lot to someone and they can't always handle it themselves.
They do so much more than clear and clean. They give broken and lost souls Hope! ✌💜
I remember a teacher asking our class ,” who’s good in school here?” A few people raised there hands. Then he asked us, “who of you who didn’t raise there Hands has a clean desk?” Now none of us raised their Hands. He told us that the state your home or work-desk is in, that’s the state of your mind. So if it isn’t clean and organised so is your mind. These poor people in these videos really need help.
It's "their", not "there". Please learn the proper spelling.
I don't want to assume things about this guy. But whether this gentleman had the skills or not; Mothers and fathers, if you read this, teach your sons how to cook/clean/sew.
I've got 2 men living opposite me, who's parents always pampered them and said; 'You'll find a wife to do the sewing and cleaning.' They're now 50 and they eat microwaved meals and wash their clothes with handsoap in the sink. Whether this gentleman was capable of this or not, doesn't matter, it's unclear. But please do not only teach your daughters how to be independent, *also* the boys.
Edit: I do not assume this man does not know how to clean or cook. I merely stated that many men especially his age, had never been taught by their parents. And therefore, grief-struck or not, would be unable to clean/cook, if they wanted to.
Widdekuu91 Excellent advice
I couldn't agree more. We have 3 boys in my family and our parents (mostly my mother) taught us how to cook, clean and fend for ourselves to avoid situations like this (not assuming this is the case).
Quite agree, my son could cook decent meals, clean to a high standard and do laundry properly by the time he was 16. He now lives with his girlfriend and she is amazed!
I did teach my two sons how to do everything and made them take home economics in school as well. There rooms were always disasters. I’m a clean freak and they “claimed” nothing was up to my standards. Which wasn’t true. One got married to a girl just like me.....gee he suddenly is cleaning and is cooking.......
I was domesticated from a young age. My mother was a nurse and a shift worker. So it was a case of learn this stuff now or do without.
30 now and still alive, clean clothes and house!
I wish this wonderful show had more financial backing. I'm thinking in particular about the carpets. Carpet that dirty is sure to have a filthy pad as well - the whole lot should be tossed and replaced. But I can understand if that is not in the budget.
I love this technique of helping these people! Other hoarding shows, it’s so sad and traumatic for the hoarder, they don’t give them enough time to decide where THEIR belongings are going... where as these three teams don’t make choices for the person and really try to work around the hoarders wants. This has way more humanity, I love it.
Steve and Jamie did themselves proud, they went above and beyond with such a fantastic attitude.
The world needs more people like the ones in this programme who are doing their best to change vulnerable people's lives without judgement or ridicule.
God Bless them all 🌟
These guys are angels! Not scared to tackle mess and grime. What miricle workers they are with compassionate hearts. 💗
I really feel for Alan as I lost my partner died 7yrs ago and I was very much in his situation and it's so easy to fall into and so hard to get back on top of things.im happy to say that alls well with myself now and it really warmed my heart to see his reaction to his clean flat.i noticed that he doesn't have a TV so if anyone who lives near to Alan has a spare telly please think about giving it a deserved home, thanks 😉👍
Adam Weston I’m sorry for your loss, but I’m glad you’ve found some peace!
Hi, Adam. I'm so sorry you lost your partner - but at last you've found peace and comfort. Please forgive me for asking this and do feel free to not answer - but was your partner male or female?
@@gordontaylor5373 female Gordon, thanks for the kind words.
@@adamweston4152 I'm terribly sorry for you, Adam. I do hope you're feeling better now. Take care and all the best mate.
@@gordontaylor5373 thank you very much for your supportive words, it's heartwarming to know that people like you care and I'm extremely grateful.❤️👍
This is one of the best transformations I've ever seen. Other shows like this sensationalize and amplify the embarrassment through visible frustration, disgust, and shame. This show is different. It really brings a human and empathetic perspective.
You have no idea, how hard it is to even let strangers into your broken world and the mess you have been living in. THAT is the hardest part. Allan was surprisingly aware of the neglect of himself and his surroundings, but even he didn't see it for what it was, until the reveal. GREAT JOB with the cleaning and the unbiased approach to a problem, many more people have in this world.
I love these people! Depression is horrible! Having a broken body is painful to make it do just necessary things.
Disinfect with industrial cherry scented foger. I'm in heaven.
It's the 50 litres of bleach for me :-)
@@michellegordon456 Yesssss
@@michellegordon456 it was only 5 litres lol
Aw poor man bless him. These two men go above and beyond. God bless them.
'keep in touch if u need anything'
just shows how kindhearted these guys are, they'd turn up to help him even though they're not getting filmed and probably not even paid.
Well done guys. It’s so sad seeing people living a sad life in their “golden years”. I felt bad for this guy. Glad he was helped out
I thought golden years are your 20s
This had such a sad beginning but the end was amazing. Seeing that man smile was the sweetest thing.
You don't know how much of help you guys are. This is the most noble job.
That carpet looks so good! Ahh and I love a man who loves to clean!
Depression is so crippling and sometimes it feels like there's no way to crawl out of it. I love these episodes because there is a complete lack of judgement and a job well done. I like to believe that the first night in their "new" home was the best night of sleep they've ever had. 🖤
Depressions Is Real.
We Need Love from Our Neighbor.
I LOVE a cleaning man who takes joy and pride in his work.😍
These cleaners are some wonderful people.
Love dad and son very compassionate, thank you.
I'm addicted to watching these and this was one of my favourite episodes. They did a great job on Alans home and he was so genuinely happy and grateful for their help. I can tell he really meant it when he said he will keep it that way when they left.
Thank you for helping to restore these people’s dignity.
I-am over the moon seeing how caring ladies and gentlemen are in this field. Puts everyone to shame so let learn compassion, understanding and patience. Plus the most important is not to be judgmental when we have not walked a mile in someone else’s shoes. Bravo ladies and gentlemen in this field.
Such a sweet man. I hope he is doing well.
Poor sweet man. He must've been so lonely, losing his wife and then his best friend so soon after. God bless and fond thoughts to you, Alan. Take care and all the best mate.
Bless Alan's heart. As well as those men who helped him clean up his flat
God bless them because they just politely accepted the job -and I cried
This is a great program that helps ppl in need. I should hope they are also getting these folks mental support as well. They need the attention/company after this is over.
You can still see the pain in this man's eyes. This was the first step of getting his life back on track, I hope he will recover
Kudos to all of you for what you do, it's not a easy task! You're all awesome keep those smiles, stay safe and bless you all! 🤗💝
We need to always be available to help people in disparate need, support them and show some love! Really well done guys🤝
You all doing cleaning everything with heart and love...just like your own home...what a blessing soul...
Just proud and respect🤗
I am 73 and have been " struggling on my own" for the last 20 years. I live in a 20 sq meter apartment. I keep it clean and in order. No problems, no complaints. I am happy.
I had housekeeping issues due to feelings of hopelessness and a neighbor left a nasty note on my door. I've since gotten it under control but the nastiness from the neighbor didn't help. I LOVE seeing people like this being helpful. 😊
God Bless you Gentleman that went to help this Good Human Being that had fallen down. Its horrible when your mental health fails your ability to clean up after yourself. It can happen to the best of us. Ive had 15 years of hell on Earth and with all ive wrongly been subjected to i now suffer difficult times . But ive spent months living out of bin bags with my clothes in i cant seem to get on top of the washing its all just become so hard at times. You terrific Good Human Beings im literally close to tears because its horrible when you fall down and nobody picks you up. Love you Gentleman what terrific Human Beings you are. Thank you for helping Allan. God Bless you all Amen xxxxxxx God Rest Your Wifes Soul Amen xxxxxxx Home To Heaven Amen xxxxxxx With Our Ever Growing Ever Loveing Heavenly Family Amen xxxxxxx
Jamie getting his happy dance on cleaning the carpet 👌🏽Beautiful Angels helping others! Well done ❤️
Oh my gosh the cleaning was perfect! I think the way you guys the show your business handles this is so much better than the one I see called Hoarders. I mean the owner leaves they're not hanging around crying and whining over all I got to keep that I got to keep that I think this is absolutely done with respect dignity and above all such tremendous compassion! Well done!
I absolutely am overwhelmed by all the positive and most compassionate meesages made by all the cleaners. I'm glad they brought this to light my mother's is a hoarder but not because she's lazy or dirty She has a mental disability that unfortunately she cannot control and it has been so hard to get her help.
Hopefully I can find some compassionate cleaners like these guys in the states lol!!
glad the guys were able to help out, I can sympathize with the older gentleman, although I'm only 53 now, back 7 years ago my dad died and i have no brother or sisters so i was forced to deal with the loss most alone, i tried really hard to get some assistance from my local mental health services clinic here in Canada, but they turned me down many times because they are bugged way down with homeless drug addicts constantly overdosing, so they had no time have no for grieving people who become deeply depressed and had thought of suicide, So ive been doing my best to focus on the positives much as I can, but to truly move on and get to work again i still need some help but as times goes on the health clinic keeps getting more and more druggies on their hands and i have no money for a private clinic...
What true heart blessing!! We all need helping hand no matter who you are
I love this. Especially the lovely mental health nurse and her daughter. Please make more !!
Father and son did a smashing job cleaning the man's flat. I'm happy for him.
God bless, I'm glad he got the help he needed.
I can't believe that carpet was blue!! I was amazed. I'd rather clean his home than the ones that have all the different kinds of poop. I think he'll keep it going as well. He's over a lot of his grieving and that will make the difference.
God Bless, hope they bought a new mattress for him and pillows
WOW, You fellas are AWESOME HUMANS,
There's no words I can Think of to describe the ABSOLUTE AWESOMENESS OF YOU BOTH.
So compassionate, I love this ...
It gives me hope , in this troubled world we
live in now...
🥰🙏🏻💕❤️👏🏻
I love how jovial these people are while doing this. Like they're cracking jokes, laughing, and generally having a good time while doing this, its great
I love these guys and those other girls that go this they are amazing I love to clean and I’ve cleaned some nasty homes in my days but these girls go above and beyond
is it just me or is his bedroom absolutely huge? wish i had a bedroom that size and those windows are also big letting in daylight ! x
Huge bedroom and a closet size kitchen!
@@LS-gh9hl that's like my place, teeny tiny kitchen, but the other rooms are quite big!
They are more than just cleaners, this fabulous individuals give people back their lives. They are so compassionate and deserve more recognition for their good works. I wish all their clients well. I know deoression very well and it does affect how you live
Shoutout to the „haordcleaners“ in those series. It must be really tough work with all the filth and bad smell and depressing vibes all around! And so compassionat all the time! They are doing an immense job!!!
I love this show. I wish it were easier to find new episodes in the US. Although they weren't featured in this episode, Maxine has got to be one of the nicest people on the show. All the cleaners are compassionate but I really like Maxine's attitude.
It's sad that they only did one series of it.I think the cleaners and the narrators are great.The programme pickers probably think there's not enough drama😫Try Life of grime too.
This poor man. To lose his wife and best friend...it's no wonder he stopped caring about how he lived. Loneliness is hell.
Wow! That carpet turned out beautifully!
I don’t judge the person living like this, I am on the other hand judging the people in their lives. Can’t someone that loves them help??
Many,many elderly people have either no-one left alive or family who can't be bothered. (I work with the elderly).
I'll answer that for him, from an entirely personal perspective: I lost both of my dearly loved parents, my son, and my newborn baby girl, all within one year's time.
My sister and her husband, and my brother and his wife, while knowing that I had suffered the greater loss among us, were also grieving heavily for our parents/in-laws (they were wonderful people, much loved by many in our city). I wasn't about to burden them by asking for help of any kind, even though such "simple" things as grocery shopping and laundry would have been sufficient, had they been able to offer it.
The survivor often doesn't want to let others know how much they're hurting, and (we) tend to say that "everything's fine, I'm doing well," when in reality, the truth is exactly the opposite.
It's been 14 years now since all the deaths in my family, but I'll never forget that extremely difficult time, and I hope I always show compassion to others who go through such a terrible time (and that did happen to three families over a two year period in my former city, and I was able to help them deal with the grief, though just one person died in each family, not four of them in one year).
Oh @@jb6712 I so much would like to give you a huge hug.
@@jb6712, i m so sorry to hear about such tragedy! I wish you to be strong!
Poor old guy.. I hope he gets the help he needs and deserves
"This kitchen was a grave-yard for tea bags"!!
May lord blessings you guys,
I prayer to the lord keep you always safe,
The things you doing it’s more than amazing.
I can’t stop crying to this. In this world we need kindness and more humble. Thank you again..
These cleaners are a blessings & angels that do a well needed job 👍..God Bless Them!!,✝️✝️🌻🌻
I love this show coz im also a cleaner here in the Philippines and i got to kearn new ideas on deep cleaning

This father/ son team are amazing
kindness and love overflows! great job and god bless them both..
So well done. Bless you both.
Wow, watching that carpet cleaning was truly satisfying.
these lads have huge hearts.
This is beautifully and sensitively done
Aww well done. Im glad he took that super difficult step himself.
Aww hes hardly got any furniture bless him
I know the feeling Tracy. Im so happy these terrific Human Beings helped Allan God Bless him Amen xxxxxxx
So sad how some people live
As I read your comment I actually thought about people who are minimalists and don't own a lot of furniture 😊. It's be cool to tell Alan "hey Alan, you are a minimalist!"
This is what loneness can do to nobody to talk to god 🙏 bless this man he a sweetie glad he got the help he needed
Professional...
Kind...
Compassionate...
Thank you...
🇿🇦
I hope all the best luck to this man and all of their customers.
I just hope that the clients can keep up this good work and continue to live in a clean home.
This is hilarious. They act like "sleeping, eating and living in one room" is somehow noteworthy, while for most of us young people, this is our existence with little hope of ever living anywhere better, let alone own a home. Having more than one room is a luxury.
What blessings they are. God bless you.
You can tell the workers care for the man its not just for the money
The sweetest cleaners I have ever seen. Wonsedul show I love seeing the end result
I lost my mum last year. Her flat was hoards of memories. Sadly me and my sister had to clear it all after our mum passed away April 2020. It's almost 1 year ago now. We kept photos of family, who we remember, but sadly chucked the rest. Our mum's things went to charity shops.
I really want this episodes to be longer. They are really satisfying
These 2 guys are better cleaners so far. Good job.
Bless these guys
N hope for the best n get into life for that person who lost his wife🙏
Amazing!! So emotional 😭
Loneliness is one of the biggest killers. Just reach out and let them know they are not alone!! Such a simple thing to do, a smile and a chat can make a huge difference to someone!
People like this should write books on how to quarantine and stay away from sick and demented Society.
This is a clear case that shows that the government must start providing cleaning services for its citizens.
The government doesn't have a bottomless pit of money. Plus there are any number of agencies out there which are available to help those who need assistance. I've recently begun using Age UK for help with domestic chores which I now struggle with. Yes I must pay an hourly fee though it's not extortionate. And for those who are unable to fund domestic help there are other routes that can be taken. Where the issue lay is the lack of knowledge of what is available because the government is lax at providing information. There's millions unclaimed by those who could use the financial assistance. For those with complex needs it is usually only identified when he/she ends up in hospital, or if they have a good GP who can recognise when a patient is struggling and can be pointed in the right direction.
