Yesterday I cleaned my depression room and I cried when it was finally done. I was sweaty, my body hurt and I had a huge headache but at the end, after taking a shower and putting a scented candle in my room, I was able to fall asleep better knowing that I'd wake up to a clean room! Thanks for inspiring me.
It’s not your fault, many people are having same problems as you. You should be proud of yourself that you made the first step today and you will get better and better everyday!
@@Aurikatariina God bless you Auri! You're really doing God's work. 😇 Thank you for helping these people and helping your viewers with this content. It's truly inspirational and therapeutic. I hope you are continually blessed. You deserve everything good coming your way! 🙌🙌🙌
You should know my friends and I got together to clean my depression home this week. Took us roughly three days, and I’m exhausted, it doesn’t even feel like it’s my home, it feels like I’m pretending. You inspired me to be vulnerable enough to ask my friends for help. Together we did it, and now my home is functional, and hygienic. Your home is supposed to be a reflection of how you feel on the inside and although I may not feel worthy of the space I heave right now, I hope I can grow into the kind of person who wants to keep it clean. Thank you for the inspiration. I feel free of the burden of clutter and dirt finally 💕
Be proud of yourself like we are! Asking for help and actually doing something is the hardest part, and you did it! You should look up for some help to yourself now, and you'll do better really soon. I believe you can and you will grow into your own house owner, cause you already are. You just need to realize that! Be well
I used to judge people with places like this but thanks to you ...You made me realized that alot of people are suffering and the "mess" is the reflection of their sadness...
I have a depression house. I feel so gross and disgusting. But I am going to start to clean today after you inspired me with this video!! Thank you for all that you do 💙
one things she says that helps me when I’m overwhelmed is “first lets collect all the tashes!” with her happy voice lol it really really helps with not getting anxious, bc as soon as it becomes too much I remember that to start out, I need to get rid of everything that doesn’t need to be here - after that it’s already so much less work and it feels like I can get it done easily, and even if I don’t finish I feel like I’ve been productive
I used to live in a house that was out of control like this. I never let mine get as bad as the ones in these videos, but I still had a lot of gross stuff in my house at one time that was comparable to some of the stuff seen on this channel. How to tackle a big overwhelming mess on your own: commit to a rule of "Give it 15 minutes" (or 8 minutes, or 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 3 minutes, whatever works for you)... 2-3 times a day, at least, if you have a big mess. Honestly, if you have a big overwhelming mess, very small minute segments several times a day probably work best. Just set your timer, or put on your Spotify playlist, and tell yourself you will work on stuff for as long as the timer runs, or you can measure it by your music. Commit to cleaning for two songs or something. I wouldn't plan it either. Just dive in. Whatever you are drawn to do. Pick up garbage, wash some dishes, dust something. Other idea: The "while you're up" rule. We get up to get something to eat or drink, check mail, or use the toilet all the time. So "while you're already up," do something. While you're up, dust something. While you're up, wash five dishes in your sink. While you're up, pick those things up off the floor. While you're up, pick a few things off that cluttered chair. Take some garbage and recycling out as you're leaving to go somewhere. As you're tackling your old mess, commit to picking up right away after any CURRENT messes you make. (Like washing the plate as soon as you use it. Putting the trash right into the bin as soon as you're done. Taking the pizza box to the garbage right away.) So that way, you're not just replacing old messes with new ones. Check out TH-cam for the most convenient ways to clean things. There's lots of cleaning tips. When it comes to dishes, I commit to plastic, metal, glass in that order of priority. Plastic will lock in old smells fast if not washed in a decent amount of time. Hope these tips helped. Sincerely, A Former Depressed Slob 😄
This is exactly why I don't judge when I see these videos. You never know what someone is going through. Take your time with cleaning, have relaxing music on and light a candle. So it won't be a stressful time 🙏🏾😊
I am 75% done cleaning my depression home thanks to YOU :) I also got diagnosed officially with major depression and severe anxiety and I am now waiting for meds. Thanks for encouraging me to seek help & live freely
Hi I do not know you but I just wanna to tell that you are very brave person!! It's not selfish to love yourself and it is never too late. Take care and keep going. lots of love
"A lot of these people have pets and the most times the pets are the only ray of sunshine in their lives". That's so true and beautifully said. Auri, you have such a beautiful, gentle and empathetic soul. We need more people like you 💖💖💖
Yes, and my sister wants me to get rid of my pet because she says you can't take care of yourself how can you take care of your pet. I've been thinking about it for months now should i find them a good new home so they can be happy since I barely get out of my room or should i keep them because i can't let go of them.
@@beheshtasiddiqui900 I understand you. I think it depends on how heavy the situation is. If its too heavy you should place your pet at a nice environment while getting some help to clean the rooms. Its not just your home. Everyone, human and animal deserve a clean and nice space and home to live :)
@@keiju.6289 Yes, totally agree with you and I'm gonna find a good home for my birds :D Thanks! you're better in covincing me than my own sister :D I love them so I'm gonna make their life better at least one of us should have a beautiful and nice environment to live.
@@beheshtasiddiqui900 That is such a difficult, brave and responsible decision! You can be very proud of you. I'm proud of you. When you feel bether and your home is clean and cozy, a place where you feel quite happy there, your birds will love to live there with you :) I wish you all the best, strength and I'm absolutely sure you can do this! 💪
I love the little comedy you put in this. Especially when your boyfriend was watching you bend over and you zoomed in! I was giggling!!😂 I love your videos and how positive and helpful you are!❤️
My home has been in depression state for years now. I am in a constant fight trying to clean it. Your videos have really motivated me to get my home together. You’ve given me a new perspective. You’ve reminded me that: It’s not as hard as it looks You just gotta start somewhere Cleaning products are everything It’s okay to ask for help You’ve also taught me so many cleaning tips & made it much easier for me to clean my home
As somebody with mental health issues, reoccurring depressions amongst them, I couldn't help but tear up hearing he lost his cat. Pets can sometimes be the only reason to get up in the morning and deal with the day. I'm so glad you could help him. Maybe in due time he can welcome a new pet in his life.
I 100% felt the same way, it broke my heart. Losing a pet is soul crushing, especially for someone with mental health issues. I really how he is able to find a new pet to share his love with.
I honestly just wanted to stop the video when I heard that, as I recently lost one of my cats and it's just too fresh. I feel so much for him losing his cat and I know all too well how that can get you spiraling down even worse. I hope the cleaned home helps him coping..
For a while my cat was the only thing that got me out of bed in the morning. Luckily he is still here with me but I can’t imagine losing him during my darkest days
@@cereza70 If you can go adopt a new kitty, my friend. I rescued a cat after my cat I'd had for 19 years (since I was 7) passed away. I didn't want to so soon after she was gone, but my mom felt I needed it and my parents took me to a shelter. It was literally one of the best things to happen to me. And I saved cat, and he's saved me.
This guy has a pretty nice apartment. It wasn't as bad as some of the other places that I've seen you do. I hope that this helps his depression and that one day he can get another cat if it helps him. My cat is the joy of my life too.
I’m working on getting my depression home cleaned up. I’m still struggling mentally but my dog is my one ray of sunshine. She’s patient with me even when I’m upset. I don’t know what i would do without her. Especially after my husband left and i lost my car she’s been my only form of support. I’ve managed to declutter now I’m on to deep cleaning. I watch your videos to get me up and motivated. Thank you for what you do.
Ikr! Most of them are also in a good shape, like the floors aren’t damaged in any way, just covered with trash. Although we have seen also the hardwood floors with permanent stains and water damage in her previous videos.

(Some items I don't let sit AT ALL: Metal can openers, fine mesh metal strainers, metal sifter, and metal beaters for electric mixers get washed right after use. More trouble than it's worth to let those things sit and rust in a pool of water or let food dry onto them....in my experience.) When it's finally under control, commit to doing certain things EVERY SINGLE DAY. I don't go to bed without every dish in my sink done. I make my bed every morning. I make sure nothing is laying on the floor when I go to bed. I make sure major pieces of furniture are cleared off and things back in their places. I never let the inside of the toilet get dirty. You won't always be perfect, but aim for this daily. (I almost always get the dishes done, at least.) Hope these tips helped. Sincerely, A Former Depressed Slob 😄
Ohh thank you, great advice! I like the - while you are up - suggestion. I TRY to get hubby into that, but he is not able to think of two things at once, as in .. the first reason why he got up and then the second thing to do, to save time later. He just CANNOT, he responds with - well, I'm on my way to do ___ - or, my favourite - I haven't got THAT far yet. LOL Bless you, we can do this ..
Desigur, un îndemn bun pot da, 8n sensul că ,... Daca avem un obiect căzut pe jos sa ridicam imediat, și apoi vom pune muzica preferată și totul v a merge bine, daca avem nevoie de o stimulare putem caută pe yutub cum se poate întreține mai ușor o curățenie și o ordine a casei
One thing I greatly appreciate about you is your positive attitude and energetic mindset. It’s contagious. Too often people who get into ruts like these are shamed, as if they lack awareness or embarrassment themselves of what their environment feels and looks like. We definitely know! Watching your videos has helped me look at decluttering as a rewarding challenge, not a moral failing which reflects who I am or always will be as a person. All my love!
I love how you show that having a mess at home doesn't mean you're a "bad" person. Just means you've been struggling. It helps me to feel less bad about my own mess, which makes it feel lighter to start cleaning up :)
I teared up when you said "pets are the only ray of sunshine in their lives". Fifteen years ago I was in a very bad place and the only reason I didn't commit suicide was because I couldn't figure out what would happen of my two cats. They are long gone now, they both died of old age a few years ago, but I still thank them often for unknowingly saving my life. Also, if you are in a bad place right now, just know it DOES get better. Hang in there. 💖
You taught me that everything can be cleaned. My childhood home was like this and I didn’t learn cleaning skills but to fear dirt. No more of that, dirt belongs to life and can always be removed with a little patience.
Same here, growing up in a house always dirty and cluttered. I’ve always been a clean freak because of it and even have contamination OCD, I learned how to properly clean on TH-cam, and keeping a clean and organized home is something that I will definitely pass on to my children. It’s an essential life skill, and I’m glad that I have been able to learn it online even though I wasn’t raised this way.
@@broccoliagain6113 For me, dirt usually causes just fear and I tend to avoid it until it gets even worse and I panic and clean. Now I work on building cleaning habits to avoid this, and try to learn more tricks because I am quite helpless and lack even basic skills. I get so anxious when cleaning and the dirt just doesn’t seem to come off, and I think it has been ruined 🥺 Although my own house never has looked anything like my childhood home, even small dirt terrifies me and I feel like it is permanent.
„Back in the late 19th century and early 20th century, it was common for mothers to be told that boys should be dressed in a masculine color like pink in order to grow into a more manly individual later in life, while girls should be dressed in a more feminine alternative like blue.“
I just spent 3 hours cleaning my bathroom and 4 year olds room. This is exactly the motivation I need to clean the rest of the house! 🙌🏻 Thank you for being such a great person!❤️
"Drowning in trash." We are all drowning in trash but we don't see it if we are able to throw it away. When I see one of your amazing videos, that is what I think of, that there must be a better way so it all doesn't end up in a landfill. When you come to help these people, it shows how much we are contributing to land fill, all of us. Thank heavens you are able to give these people a new start. You and your boyfriend are heaven sent.
You truly are a giving young lady! IN America there just aren't enough of people like you. I need help. But slowly I will make progress. Peace Illinois gal 🇺🇸
Calling out to all other US auri katerina fans... Is there some way we can organize an online group and help people in our areas? I can't travel far, and would like to help someone out, but I don't know who needs it. Often people hide these problems and no one knows. If there was a way we could connect easily with people who need help and those who want to help someone near them, we could have a real movement.
sure there are, look at the amount of videos out there of people doing yard work, cleaning, detailing etc for free on youtube in the USA. People like her exist everywhere, it's just that the majority of people can't get sponsors that pay for the trips and materials they need for jobs quite as big as hers. She is 100% an amazing person, and the fact she can help this many people without asking for compensation from them is incredible and very kind, but she's not paying for all of it out of her own pocket, and the amount of views she gets in these videos are more than enough to pay for the job :)
I found alot of inspiration from watching ur channel. It took a month but I cleaned my whole 2 bed apartment. It's the first it's been thoroughly clean in 4 yrs. I even bought a Squeegee for my floor. Im disabled so your tips made cleaning so much faster that I could get alot more done between rest periods. Thank you ✌🇨🇦
This is literally the sweetest thing on TH-cam .. I love that you make enough off your videos to be able to clean people's homes for free. And you don't judge. Depression is such an awful thing to battle! I honestly don't know how you laugh through some of the dirtiest houses I've ever seen. You're truly an inspiration and such a beautiful, kind human!
It is so rare to find a dude/boyfriend to support & help out their girl. I love love love watching these cleaning videos & love the support from her friends & boyfriend. That's how it should be too. Keep making videos girl, I support you ❤️❤️❤️ You do GREAT!!!
These homes are so nice! The floors, walls and cabinets are in great shape! Living in a run down old house, after cleaning to a sparkle, it still looks dirty.
Your videos have inspired me to take control, one room at a time, to get my place deep cleaned. My home is not cluttered with trash, etc., but I am lazy when it comes to deep cleaning the bathroom (shower stall especially). Thank you for all your tips and encouragement. You are truly one of a kind. ♥
Oh Auri. You literally make my day. I struggle so hard with depression, BPD and anxiety..I watch your videos and I feel amped up to get the job done!!!
I can’t get the image out of my head of them fighting at home about who gets to clean up the kitchen because otherwise their house is spotless and nothing else to clean 🤣🤣 I absolutely love these videos and watching you channel what you love into helping people, amazing work!
I was panicking so much about not seeing an update last week! You have no idea how happy this makes me as I’m sat here too poorly to clean and cleaning massively helps my anxiety. So watching you has made my day. THANK YOU!
You’ve probably already seen but there’s quite a few UK cleaning shows that are free to watch on TH-cam, my fav is obsessive compulsive cleaners. Hopefully these will help you when you are feeling anxious 🧡
Your videos always remind me that a clean home helps a lot when your head is already a total chaos. Now I try to keep everything in a good condition and I feel so much more comfortable
I hope the people that Aurikatriina helped will continue the cleaning that she started in their homes so that the hard work and effort she started will never be wasted.
Обожаю смотреть ваш канал .Мне почему то становится как то спокойней после того как всё преображается,ты и твой парень просто молодцы(вы очень трудолюбивые).!!!!
Тоже обожаю Катарину, и всё думала, почему нет путного русскоязычного аналога, потом поняла. У Катарины после уборки получаются хорошенькие квартирки, уютные, жилые. У нас после генеральной уборки хлама сразу станет видно облезлые трубы, древний досчатый пол в облупленной краске г*вён*го цвета, полуразрушенная прогнившая мебель, коричневые от табачного дыма обои, страшные ржавые батареи, щели в окнах, стенах. Короче, у нас после разборов аналогичных по масштабу завалов обнаружится, что тут не только в хламе дело, тут нужно полностью ремонт делать, во всём доме желательно... Такой впечатляющей красивой картинки после уборки уж точно не будет, увы.
@@korukabuka вот прям поддерживаю. Живём в съёмной однокомнатной квартире, где ремонт уже не первой свежести вообще везде, и каждый раз после генеральной уборки становится видно, насколько всё уже плохо и требует замены. А не генералить я не могу - ОКР правит моей жизнью, я навожу промежуточную уборку каждый день, а генеральную - раз в неделю-две. Без какого-либо удовольствия от результата. Вот и прихожу на канал Катарины за наслаждением)
Your videos really help with my anxiety. A few weeks ago my husband asked for a divorce and I’m still in this house that doesn’t even feel like home to me anymore. Our house is an absolute mess and I’ve been struggling to get it cleaned up just because of the fact it doesn’t feel like my home. And your videos are one of the few things keeping me motivated to keep this house clean mainly for my son. Edit: the house was clean until he asked for divorce and I lost motivation to clean it.
Hope you are feeling better. A tip that will cheer you up. Put a few drops of eucalyptus oil in water mix to clean windows, open them after cleaning, if you can. Suddenly you feel like you are standing in a fresh forest. A little dribble of euc oil, on hard floor and a steam mop will make house feel amazing. Even if you only do a metre square or a pathway through stuff. The euc in window wash really knocks back mould on glass. I also like to put a scrunched up tissue with a few drops of euc oil in cupboards. And in wash for towels, in the last rinse, if you can.
I use to cleaning compulsively because it was only thing that I could control in my life, when everything was falling apart. Maybe that could change your way of thinking about it
I see you as an angel visiting these homes and helping people out of really dark times. Some people never climb out of their messes. But you are changing lives. I think the pandemic has increased these problems for people. And you were created for such a time as this. God bless you!
It’s heartwarming to hear all the stories of both these people and commenters of the help and empathy they get from friends, family, strangers. Y’all are blessed.
This channel has helped me so much with cleaning my dirty, gross room, because it has also gotten very messy and I never feel like cleaning it, but I'm trying my best!
I love to watch you make things pretty again. I’ve never had these problems, I’m a minimalist, but I know that a lot of people do, they just need someone who really cares
I have so much clutter and I'm beginning to declutter. I'd love to go down the minimalist route for the environment and my own sanity lol. Do you have any tips? Or things that you feel like we really don't need or are must haves?
Speaking from experience, I was never taught how to properly clean. I’m a messy person and my boyfriend is a neat freak. When I’m in the middle of some task or project that accumulates trash, I get overwhelmed and go cross-eyed. He has taught me to pick up and throw away and organize as I go. I think it would be cool if you left a paper or pamphlet full of tips to keep everything clean for the owner! You need to write a book!!
I have declutterred 2 rooms out of 5 and I am selling everything I can. It takes a bit longer but its working so well my parents want me to do the same in their home. I have learnt a few trick from you that will help me eg long handle and light weight cleaning tools so I don't have to bend down to scrub because I damaged my spin and pelvis in an accident. Thank you for inspiring me to get it done.
you got this, you're doing great. injuries that slow us down can make it so much harder but we can get it done. just pace yourself, listen to the pain if it gets bad and be proud of what you can get done. ❤️❤️
@@hnktbt oh i am. But I am having to think about long term solutions. Eg telescopic extra long handles for everything so I don't stoop scrubbing or sweeping. The less I have to bend the better. It has been 7 years since the accident and its is only the last few months I have been able to even stand for longer than 30 minutes. I can't even sit for long. I have a long road in physical therapy but I am determined to find ways so I can clean and be independent. Decluttering really helps. It's been really good for my motivation, it's also much easier to clean if there isn't everything all over the floor and surfaces.
You’re my encouragement for tomorrow; arrived today in my tiny holiday cottage, after 2 yrs absence. Found it being taken over by mice. Poop and pee everywhere, with a preference for the beds (and gnawed right through the covers), and for the drawer with cutlery. What you teach us, is that everything can be done. And thank you for helping people in need of support!
Try adding some splashes of eucalyptus oil to floor, after sweeping, and then go over with a steam mop. (Kills germs). The eucalyptus will blow mouse smells away. Wipe out cupboards with it. Put a few drops in window washing bucket. It really hammers mould on glass, stops it growing back, for a good while. Also great to put a few drops in towel wash. Same with sheets and blankets. Good luck with clean up!
It isn't motivation. She likes doing it, so it doesn't require much motivation for her. If there's something you want to get done, but you feel like you lack motivation, try making the activity more enjoyable. :) For example, I used to dread doing the dishes, but then I built an ikea shelf above my sink to put my laptop on so I can watch videos while I do dishes, and not only did it make it more enjoyable, but it also gave me a better sense of how long doing dishes actually takes. My brain would blow it up into this job that takes *forever* but now I know it really doesn't take longer than 15-20 minutes at most. Motivation is a myth. If you rely on motivation to get things done, it'll never work lol.
@@seqka711 That's what my sister used to say: "Your house is always clean because you like to clean." I had to explain to her that what I get out of cleaning is the high I get after the cleaning is done. I guess it's like people who climb mountains, the climbing is arduous, but the endorphin high you get when you accomplish your climb is worth it; same with cleaning for me.
To be honest I want to see longer vedios of you doing cleaning work because you clean so well and it is calming, I know you have to finish in one day and you can't film everything but I wish that you can 💞💞
I am 72. You have such energy, I love to watch. I try to find things to throw away, give away, or recycle every day. You make me want to clean. Al's wife, Tina
These houses are all beautiful. With beautiful furniture and stuff but hurried under piles of garbage, hiding everything. I m glad these people get to have a clean house and a fresh start.
Another wonderful clean home. Thank you for all you do for these homeowners. My teenage daughter suffers from depression and the smallest tasks are difficult for her. Just cleaning her room and bathing are monumental tasks. 😔
Life is hard, and sometimes you just need someone to not judge and help you as you are so you can take steps to heal. I love these videos so much as they are the most perfect and pure example of people helping people. That's the main theme of your videos and I adore it: you simply help people who are asking for help.
Thanks for inspiring me, my mom had a depression and we live in a lot of mess still after 8 years or so. She was to ashamed to ask for help or receive help. So I decided that I was going to help her. I know her already 16 years and know almost everything of her. She knows I will never judge her and still she is ashamed of it. I convinced her to let me help her and she said okay with much doubts. But we will start Monday with cleaning!! Thank u so much❤️ lots of love from me
I recently tried your oven cleaner/ clingfilm trick on a dirty oven tray i had, and IT WORKED AMEZINGLY!!! Also watching your video's ,makes me wanna clean my house more, so i have started to do 1 or 2 things each day, so that i can reserve my energy for doing the 'bigger' things when i do have more time and energy! thank you so much for being such a kind, gentle person, and such a inspiration to us. Much love from the netherlands
I was diagnosed with Unipolar Depression this year, and having struggled with depression and anxiety all my life, it has been a long battle. The past two days were especially hard and it was very hard fighting the episode that was rolling in. Thank God for my best friend, my dad. He reminded me of core truths and helped me to muster the strength to go for a walk with my daughter, which really helped me to stop thinking and just breath. This morning I feel refreshed and ready to keep fighting. This video is really helping me to get ready to tackle the disaster that accumulated the past two days. Thank you! God bless
Auri, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm a messy person and I'm very much trying to keep control of myself, but I never noticed how DIRTY my home was here and there until i started watching your videos. Thanks to you, I discovered a simple joy of scrubbing nasty things of surfaces and it makes me feel so much happier! my home is slowly getting cleaner than ever and I'm getting more and more happy with it! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
"I always laugh at the mouldy things because they are funny" your positivity makes me so happy!!! And that you are brilliantly yourself! I feel so fantastic after watching your videos thank you Auri 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are a wonderful lady, cleaning these houses for free. Not only are you helping people forget or help forget when they had mental people but your motivating so many of your viewers plus I don’t know about anyone else but this gets rid of anxiety. All of this for free too AND you are exposing yourself to sooo much mold and stuff.I think I speak for all when I say you are a fricken queen
Thank you for a new video! I was inspired by you to buy all the scrub daddies/oven cleaners and squeegees and deep cleaned the house I live in that hasn't been deep cleaned in years! It was SO dirty but SO satisfying, I can't stop cleaning! You changed my life! FOREVER FAN!
It's so lovely how you help people make a fresh start. There needs to be more people like you in the world. This flat is just gorgeous too. You really helped reach its potential.
I wish I had someone around here in Michigan that could do that for me. I've suffered from depression my whole life, but I've managed to keep it together, so to speak. The last couple of years has been very brutal. Then, on October 2nd, I lost my dad. That completely broke me. I can't even put into words how broken my heart is right now. Not a day goes by that I don't sit and cry for hours. My house is trashed. If I had the money to pay somebody to come in and do it, you bet I would. I'm disabled so I can't really get up and do anything anyways. But it's just out of control and it's too much work for me. Anyways, I think what you're doing is so sweet and kind. You are helping this man tackle one of the things off his list that is making him suffer so hard. You have the kindest heart. Happy holidays. 🎄⛄🎅🤶🦌❄️
I’m so sorry to hear your story 🥺 I’m 61 and have suffered from depression most of my life. If it weren’t for the 4 sons I was raising, I wouldn’t have even gotten out of bed. I totally understand you. I started getting better with the proper meds, and little by little I’d get up and take on one small task. You’re not on a schedule, so take your time and don’t beat yourself up. I wish you luck, just keep swimming 🏊♀️
Hi, you can throw in the garbage bin 1 plastic bag of tresh you have in your house. It will take you 15 minutes a day. You do this every day and you will feel positive energy and you will feel relieved.
G'day, KarieJo! I am so sorry for your loss of your beloved father. There is a channel called Midwest Magic Cleaning, but I don't know which state it operates in. It's done by a wonderful gentleman named Adam who happens to be autistic but high-functioning and he cleans for free. You might try that channel and leave a comment about your need. If he doesn't work in Michigan, maybe he knows of someone who does. Or, you could google free cleaning for disabled and see what comes up. Hope you find the help you need and may God bless you. 💙
I really wish your videos were longer. I get so into watching you clean and it just feels like they are over as soon as they start. It’s so fascinating.
I love the sinks in Finland. I have yet to see any sinks like this in Canada with the built in area to place dishes to dry. You do such a wonderful job cleaning! I am glad that you found a partner who supports you and enjoys cleaning as much as you.
Most sinks in England used to have the draining board next to the sink until dishwasher machines became popular - if I stay somewhere with no draining board I find it very inconvenient!
I love your videos. I suffer depression/PTSD, and had someone rather abusive in my life that made me relate cleaning to something bad. Watching you take on these rooms and act disappointed when something is easy, and not acting shocked/hateful inspires me to not let that person's negativity effect how I am -now.- Thanks for making these videos. I like rewatching them over and over as I clean.
These past two weeks I've learnt how much I'm anticipating your upcoming videos. I was waiting with eager for a new cleanup since you didn't post anything last week. I've accidently become a hard core fan! Keep up the good work! :)
Almost have to sleep right now but I’m looking forward to watching this tomorrow. Thank you not only for helping with cleaning but also inspiring us if we’re unreachable.
Yesterday I cleaned my depression room and I cried when it was finally done. I was sweaty, my body hurt and I had a huge headache but at the end, after taking a shower and putting a scented candle in my room, I was able to fall asleep better knowing that I'd wake up to a clean room! Thanks for inspiring me.
Well done!
So good for you! Be proud of what you have achieved.
It’s not your fault, many people are having same problems as you. You should be proud of yourself that you made the first step today and you will get better and better everyday!
That sounds so nice aaah we are all proud!
thank you all so much :) your messages are so sweet!!
Auri found a man who not only doesn't 'interfere with her cleaning lifestyle' but also supports it. We should all be so fortunate! 😃
She is blessed indeed
Thank you and Yes you Are right!! This is our first cleaning together: th-cam.com/video/7dac55wHtfo/w-d-xo.html 😍 He has improved a lot 💕
She replied on the comments ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@Aurikatariina God bless you Auri! You're really doing God's work. 😇 Thank you for helping these people and helping your viewers with this content. It's truly inspirational and therapeutic. I hope you are continually blessed. You deserve everything good coming your way! 🙌🙌🙌
@Richard Cranium yes! They are both a blessing to each other and other people
You should know my friends and I got together to clean my depression home this week. Took us roughly three days, and I’m exhausted, it doesn’t even feel like it’s my home, it feels like I’m pretending. You inspired me to be vulnerable enough to ask my friends for help. Together we did it, and now my home is functional, and hygienic. Your home is supposed to be a reflection of how you feel on the inside and although I may not feel worthy of the space I heave right now, I hope I can grow into the kind of person who wants to keep it clean. Thank you for the inspiration. I feel free of the burden of clutter and dirt finally 💕
proud of you! you deserve a clean home
That is amazing, congratulations!
I'm so proud of you, I wish you the best
That's awesome!😊
Be proud of yourself like we are! Asking for help and actually doing something is the hardest part, and you did it! You should look up for some help to yourself now, and you'll do better really soon. I believe you can and you will grow into your own house owner, cause you already are. You just need to realize that! Be well
I used to judge people with places like this but thanks to you ...You made me realized that alot of people are suffering and the "mess" is the reflection of their sadness...
@Nevaeh Yessenia no no Nevaeh 😢😢😭😭 talk about your feelings do not keep it inside
@Nevaeh Yessenia ask for help you will be surprised how willing people in your life are to help you in a time of need 👍
Yup never judge !
Yes, me too, until I found myself in this situation... It's so easy to not even notice all the mess when you're depressed
@@emmatuskin6627 ❤❤❤❤❤
I have a depression house. I feel so gross and disgusting. But I am going to start to clean today after you inspired me with this video!! Thank you for all that you do 💙
YOU GOT THIS JULIE. GIRL POWER!!!! 😊😉👍👍
@@valerievega8588 thank you!!
Go for it girl ♥️💗 just know it's for your betterment we are all so proud of you ❤️
@@aparajitakundu5993 awww thank you. That is very encouraging to hear
I know it’s not easy, I’ve helped clean homes like this before. Don’t give up!!
You inspire me to clean and not let the anxiety rules over me.
one things she says that helps me when I’m overwhelmed is “first lets collect all the tashes!” with her happy voice lol
it really really helps with not getting anxious, bc as soon as it becomes too much I remember that to start out, I need to get rid of everything that doesn’t need to be here - after that it’s already so much less work and it feels like I can get it done easily, and even if I don’t finish I feel like I’ve been productive
I used to live in a house that was out of control like this. I never let mine get as bad as the ones in these videos, but I still had a lot of gross stuff in my house at one time that was comparable to some of the stuff seen on this channel.
How to tackle a big overwhelming mess on your own: commit to a rule of "Give it 15 minutes" (or 8 minutes, or 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 3 minutes, whatever works for you)... 2-3 times a day, at least, if you have a big mess.
Honestly, if you have a big overwhelming mess, very small minute segments several times a day probably work best.
Just set your timer, or put on your Spotify playlist, and tell yourself you will work on stuff for as long as the timer runs, or you can measure it by your music. Commit to cleaning for two songs or something.
I wouldn't plan it either. Just dive in. Whatever you are drawn to do. Pick up garbage, wash some dishes, dust something.
Other idea: The "while you're up" rule. We get up to get something to eat or drink, check mail, or use the toilet all the time. So "while you're already up," do something. While you're up, dust something. While you're up, wash five dishes in your sink. While you're up, pick those things up off the floor. While you're up, pick a few things off that cluttered chair. Take some garbage and recycling out as you're leaving to go somewhere.
As you're tackling your old mess, commit to picking up right away after any CURRENT messes you make. (Like washing the plate as soon as you use it. Putting the trash right into the bin as soon as you're done. Taking the pizza box to the garbage right away.) So that way, you're not just replacing old messes with new ones.
Check out TH-cam for the most convenient ways to clean things. There's lots of cleaning tips.
When it comes to dishes, I commit to plastic, metal, glass in that order of priority. Plastic will lock in old smells fast if not washed in a decent amount of time.
Hope these tips helped. Sincerely, A Former Depressed Slob 😄
This is exactly why I don't judge when I see these videos. You never know what someone is going through. Take your time with cleaning, have relaxing music on and light a candle. So it won't be a stressful time 🙏🏾😊
Me too
Good luck!
I am 75% done cleaning my depression home thanks to YOU :)
I also got diagnosed officially with major depression and severe anxiety and I am now waiting for meds. Thanks for encouraging me to seek help & live freely
You are welcome to me 🌹🌹
Good job!! I'm recovering as well. It's a tough road but just wait and see, you'll start to see the good stuff coming :) Take care!
Hi
I do not know you but I just wanna to tell that you are very brave person!! It's not selfish to love yourself and it is never too late. Take care and keep going. lots of love
That's impressive o.o you should be proud of yourself :D
Wow!✨
"A lot of these people have pets and the most times the pets are the only ray of sunshine in their lives". That's so true and beautifully said. Auri, you have such a beautiful, gentle and empathetic soul. We need more people like you 💖💖💖
Yes, and my sister wants me to get rid of my pet because she says you can't take care of yourself how can you take care of your pet. I've been thinking about it for months now should i find them a good new home so they can be happy since I barely get out of my room or should i keep them because i can't let go of them.
@@beheshtasiddiqui900 I understand you. I think it depends on how heavy the situation is. If its too heavy you should place your pet at a nice environment while getting some help to clean the rooms. Its not just your home.
Everyone, human and animal deserve a clean and nice space and home to live :)
@@keiju.6289 Yes, totally agree with you and I'm gonna find a good home for my birds :D Thanks! you're better in covincing me than my own sister :D I love them so I'm gonna make their life better at least one of us should have a beautiful and nice environment to live.
@@beheshtasiddiqui900 That is such a difficult, brave and responsible decision! You can be very proud of you. I'm proud of you.
When you feel bether and your home is clean and cozy, a place where you feel quite happy there, your birds will love to live there with you :)
I wish you all the best, strength and I'm absolutely sure you can do this! 💪
I love the little comedy you put in this. Especially when your boyfriend was watching you bend over and you zoomed in! I was giggling!!😂
I love your videos and how positive and helpful you are!❤️
❤️
My home has been in depression state for years now. I am in a constant fight trying to clean it. Your videos have really motivated me to get my home together. You’ve given me a new perspective.
You’ve reminded me that:
It’s not as hard as it looks
You just gotta start somewhere
Cleaning products are everything
It’s okay to ask for help
You’ve also taught me so many cleaning tips & made it much easier for me to clean my home
how is it going, were you able to get started??
If only I loved cleaning as much as watching Your videos... 😍
Oo ty tu 😅. Pozdrawiam ❤
Love ❤️😍
Same
You are welcome to me 🌹🌹
You can do it juszes
As somebody with mental health issues, reoccurring depressions amongst them, I couldn't help but tear up hearing he lost his cat. Pets can sometimes be the only reason to get up in the morning and deal with the day. I'm so glad you could help him. Maybe in due time he can welcome a new pet in his life.
I 100% felt the same way, it broke my heart. Losing a pet is soul crushing, especially for someone with mental health issues. I really how he is able to find a new pet to share his love with.
I honestly just wanted to stop the video when I heard that, as I recently lost one of my cats and it's just too fresh. I feel so much for him losing his cat and I know all too well how that can get you spiraling down even worse. I hope the cleaned home helps him coping..
For a while my cat was the only thing that got me out of bed in the morning. Luckily he is still here with me but I can’t imagine losing him during my darkest days
My cat died 3 months ago and I feel very lost and sad.
@@cereza70 If you can go adopt a new kitty, my friend. I rescued a cat after my cat I'd had for 19 years (since I was 7) passed away. I didn't want to so soon after she was gone, but my mom felt I needed it and my parents took me to a shelter.
It was literally one of the best things to happen to me. And I saved cat, and he's saved me.
It’s so sweet when we get to see your boyfriend or best friend helping you! You’re all such lovely people for doing these cleanings
This guy has a pretty nice apartment. It wasn't as bad as some of the other places that I've seen you do. I hope that this helps his depression and that one day he can get another cat if it helps him. My cat is the joy of my life too.
I’m working on getting my depression home cleaned up. I’m still struggling mentally but my dog is my one ray of sunshine. She’s patient with me even when I’m upset. I don’t know what i would do without her. Especially after my husband left and i lost my car she’s been my only form of support. I’ve managed to declutter now I’m on to deep cleaning. I watch your videos to get me up and motivated. Thank you for what you do.
I hope you’re feeling better ❤️⭐️
I think one of my favorite parts of the video is seeing the beautiful houses that were hidden under all the trash, it's almost poetic in a way
Right? I always think at the end, what a beautiful place when everything is tidy and clean.
Exactly its poetic
Mine too! You can really see they have all put some love to their home at some point and it's so nice to see them get their cozy spaces nack.
You are welcome to me 🌹🌹
Ikr! Most of them are also in a good shape, like the floors aren’t damaged in any way, just covered with trash. Although we have seen also the hardwood floors with permanent stains and water damage in her previous videos.
I used to live in a house that was out of control like this. I never let mine get as bad as the ones in these videos, but I still had a lot of gross stuff in my house at one time that was comparable to some of the stuff seen on this channel.

When it comes to dishes, I commit to plastic, metal, glass in that order of priority. Plastic will lock in old smells fast if not washed in a decent amount of time.
(Some items I don't let sit AT ALL: Metal can openers, fine mesh metal strainers, metal sifter, and metal beaters for electric mixers get washed right after use. More trouble than it's worth to let those things sit and rust in a pool of water or let food dry onto them....in my experience.)
When it's finally under control, commit to doing certain things EVERY SINGLE DAY. I don't go to bed without every dish in my sink done. I make my bed every morning. I make sure nothing is laying on the floor when I go to bed. I make sure major pieces of furniture are cleared off and things back in their places. I never let the inside of the toilet get dirty. You won't always be perfect, but aim for this daily. (I almost always get the dishes done, at least.)
Hope these tips helped. Sincerely, A Former Depressed Slob 😄
Ohh thank you, great advice! I like the - while you are up - suggestion. I TRY to get hubby into that, but he is not able to think of two things at once, as in .. the first reason why he got up and then the second thing to do, to save time later. He just CANNOT, he responds with - well, I'm on my way to do ___ - or, my favourite - I haven't got THAT far yet. LOL Bless you, we can do this ..
Хорошие советы, буду стараться пользоваться
God bless you! Hopefully those tips can help someone in need! I wish you all the best kind stranger ❤❤
These are awesome tips, thanks!

One thing I greatly appreciate about you is your positive attitude and energetic mindset. It’s contagious. Too often people who get into ruts like these are shamed, as if they lack awareness or embarrassment themselves of what their environment feels and looks like. We definitely know! Watching your videos has helped me look at decluttering as a rewarding challenge, not a moral failing which reflects who I am or always will be as a person. All my love!
I love how you show that having a mess at home doesn't mean you're a "bad" person. Just means you've been struggling.
It helps me to feel less bad about my own mess, which makes it feel lighter to start cleaning up :)
I teared up when you said "pets are the only ray of sunshine in their lives". Fifteen years ago I was in a very bad place and the only reason I didn't commit suicide was because I couldn't figure out what would happen of my two cats. They are long gone now, they both died of old age a few years ago, but I still thank them often for unknowingly saving my life. Also, if you are in a bad place right now, just know it DOES get better. Hang in there. 💖
You taught me that everything can be cleaned. My childhood home was like this and I didn’t learn cleaning skills but to fear dirt. No more of that, dirt belongs to life and can always be removed with a little patience.
I am very sorry you had to grow up in such conditions.
That really touched me, all the best!!❤
❤️
Same here, growing up in a house always dirty and cluttered. I’ve always been a clean freak because of it and even have contamination OCD, I learned how to properly clean on TH-cam, and keeping a clean and organized home is something that I will definitely pass on to my children. It’s an essential life skill, and I’m glad that I have been able to learn it online even though I wasn’t raised this way.
@@broccoliagain6113 For me, dirt usually causes just fear and I tend to avoid it until it gets even worse and I panic and clean. Now I work on building cleaning habits to avoid this, and try to learn more tricks because I am quite helpless and lack even basic skills. I get so anxious when cleaning and the dirt just doesn’t seem to come off, and I think it has been ruined 🥺 Although my own house never has looked anything like my childhood home, even small dirt terrifies me and I feel like it is permanent.
if the boyfriend is willing to wear pink gloves, he is definitely a keeper
Hi Amanda
How are you doing today?
@@robertgreen8131 hi robert
Please help once and see the heart will be calm
„Back in the late 19th century and early 20th century, it was common for mothers to be told that boys should be dressed in a masculine color like pink in order to grow into a more manly individual later in life, while girls should be dressed in a more feminine alternative like blue.“
I just spent 3 hours cleaning my bathroom and 4 year olds room. This is exactly the motivation I need to clean the rest of the house! 🙌🏻 Thank you for being such a great person!❤️
Proud of you!!
Good job!
You are welcome to me 🌹🌹
I'm glad you guys found each other. Who knew that cleaning your boyfriend's place on a first date would lead to relationship goals? Too cute!
Just picking up and getting rid of all the trash makes a huge difference and makes me feel like I accomplish something.
"Drowning in trash." We are all drowning in trash but we don't see it if we are able to throw it away. When I see one of your amazing videos, that is what I think of, that there must be a better way so it all doesn't end up in a landfill. When you come to help these people, it shows how much we are contributing to land fill, all of us. Thank heavens you are able to give these people a new start. You and your boyfriend are heaven sent.
We don't really have any landfills in Finland anymore. Waste is either recycled or incinerated.
People would be surprised how fast this amount of trash would stack up if not have energy or the power to keep throw it out.
@@Soso-jb9kv even when recycling you still have the trash it's just not end up same. But we still bring it home
You truly are a giving young lady! IN America there just aren't enough of people like you. I need help. But slowly I will make progress. Peace Illinois gal 🇺🇸
Have a positive vibes and strength friend
We do need more like her! You can do this Suzanne 💕 God bless you from a fellow American 🇺🇲
Calling out to all other US auri katerina fans... Is there some way we can organize an online group and help people in our areas? I can't travel far, and would like to help someone out, but I don't know who needs it. Often people hide these problems and no one knows. If there was a way we could connect easily with people who need help and those who want to help someone near them, we could have a real movement.
From Illinois as well. :) which part? I'm from Chicago.. lol.. ha..
sure there are, look at the amount of videos out there of people doing yard work, cleaning, detailing etc for free on youtube in the USA. People like her exist everywhere, it's just that the majority of people can't get sponsors that pay for the trips and materials they need for jobs quite as big as hers. She is 100% an amazing person, and the fact she can help this many people without asking for compensation from them is incredible and very kind, but she's not paying for all of it out of her own pocket, and the amount of views she gets in these videos are more than enough to pay for the job :)
I found alot of inspiration from watching ur channel. It took a month but I cleaned my whole 2 bed apartment. It's the first it's been thoroughly clean in 4 yrs. I even bought a Squeegee for my floor. Im disabled so your tips made cleaning so much faster that I could get alot more done between rest periods. Thank you ✌🇨🇦
from another disabled person wrangling their chaos, i'm proud of you! ❤️❤️
Good job! Happy for you 👏👍👍
you and your boyfriend are the cutest team! its fantastic that you two can laugh with each other while you work!
Thank you so much for giving us so much motivation that even the worst things can be fixed and made into something beautiful!
This is literally the sweetest thing on TH-cam .. I love that you make enough off your videos to be able to clean people's homes for free. And you don't judge. Depression is such an awful thing to battle! I honestly don't know how you laugh through some of the dirtiest houses I've ever seen. You're truly an inspiration and such a beautiful, kind human!
Your attitude toward cleaning has helped me so much. When I am cleaning my house I tell myself. I love cleaning dirty things. 😂💪👍

These homes are so nice! The floors, walls and cabinets are in great shape!
Living in a run down old house, after cleaning to a sparkle, it still looks dirty.
Yep. Some of the appliances look like they've never been used after she cleans them up. Almost brand new looking.
I have the same problem my house was probably built in the 70’s and some things are water damaged and need to be renovated
Your videos have inspired me to take control, one room at a time, to get my place deep cleaned. My home is not cluttered with trash, etc., but I am lazy when it comes to deep cleaning the bathroom (shower stall especially). Thank you for all your tips and encouragement. You are truly one of a kind. ♥

actually, her energy is contagious. i can imagine sitting on the couch and watching her back and forth cleaning. i will totally go on full mode too!
I was panicking so much about not seeing an update last week! You have no idea how happy this makes me as I’m sat here too poorly to clean and cleaning massively helps my anxiety. So watching you has made my day. THANK YOU!

Обожаю смотреть ваш канал .Мне почему то становится как то спокойней после того как всё преображается,ты и твой парень просто молодцы(вы очень трудолюбивые).!!!!
Поддерживаю
Тоже обожаю Катарину, и всё думала, почему нет путного русскоязычного аналога, потом поняла.
У Катарины после уборки получаются хорошенькие квартирки, уютные, жилые.
У нас после генеральной уборки хлама сразу станет видно облезлые трубы, древний досчатый пол в облупленной краске г*вён*го цвета, полуразрушенная прогнившая мебель, коричневые от табачного дыма обои, страшные ржавые батареи, щели в окнах, стенах.
Короче, у нас после разборов аналогичных по масштабу завалов обнаружится, что тут не только в хламе дело, тут нужно полностью ремонт делать, во всём доме желательно...
Такой впечатляющей красивой картинки после уборки уж точно не будет, увы.
@@korukabuka вот прям поддерживаю. Живём в съёмной однокомнатной квартире, где ремонт уже не первой свежести вообще везде, и каждый раз после генеральной уборки становится видно, насколько всё уже плохо и требует замены. А не генералить я не могу - ОКР правит моей жизнью, я навожу промежуточную уборку каждый день, а генеральную - раз в неделю-две. Без какого-либо удовольствия от результата.

Your videos really help with my anxiety. A few weeks ago my husband asked for a divorce and I’m still in this house that doesn’t even feel like home to me anymore. Our house is an absolute mess and I’ve been struggling to get it cleaned up just because of the fact it doesn’t feel like my home. And your videos are one of the few things keeping me motivated to keep this house clean mainly for my son.
Edit: the house was clean until he asked for divorce and I lost motivation to clean it.
Hope you are feeling better.
A tip that will cheer you up. Put a few drops of eucalyptus oil in water mix to clean windows, open them after cleaning, if you can. Suddenly you feel like you are standing in a fresh forest. A little dribble of euc oil, on hard floor and a steam mop will make house feel amazing. Even if you only do a metre square or a pathway through stuff. The euc in window wash really knocks back mould on glass.
I also like to put a scrunched up tissue with a few drops of euc oil in cupboards. And in wash for towels, in the last rinse, if you can.
I use to cleaning compulsively because it was only thing that I could control in my life, when everything was falling apart. Maybe that could change your way of thinking about it
I see you as an angel visiting these homes and helping people out of really dark times. Some people never climb out of their messes. But you are changing lives. I think the pandemic has increased these problems for people. And you were created for such a time as this. God bless you!
It’s heartwarming to hear all the stories of both these people and commenters of the help and empathy they get from friends, family, strangers. Y’all are blessed.
When she says “trashes” is the cutest thing ever 😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This channel has helped me so much with cleaning my dirty, gross room, because it has also gotten very messy and I never feel like cleaning it, but I'm trying my best!
I love to watch you make things pretty again. I’ve never had these problems, I’m a minimalist, but I know that a lot of people do, they just need someone who really cares
I have so much clutter and I'm beginning to declutter. I'd love to go down the minimalist route for the environment and my own sanity lol. Do you have any tips? Or things that you feel like we really don't need or are must haves?
Speaking from experience, I was never taught how to properly clean. I’m a messy person and my boyfriend is a neat freak. When I’m in the middle of some task or project that accumulates trash, I get overwhelmed and go cross-eyed. He has taught me to pick up and throw away and organize as I go. I think it would be cool if you left a paper or pamphlet full of tips to keep everything clean for the owner! You need to write a book!!
Brilliant ideas!
Omg, yes! My ADHD/autistic self lives for cleaning and organizing step-by-steps
Quality time in the relationship wuuuuuu😂😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you are so funny
I have declutterred 2 rooms out of 5 and I am selling everything I can. It takes a bit longer but its working so well my parents want me to do the same in their home. I have learnt a few trick from you that will help me eg long handle and light weight cleaning tools so I don't have to bend down to scrub because I damaged my spin and pelvis in an accident. Thank you for inspiring me to get it done.
you got this, you're doing great. injuries that slow us down can make it so much harder but we can get it done. just pace yourself, listen to the pain if it gets bad and be proud of what you can get done. ❤️❤️
@@hnktbt oh i am. But I am having to think about long term solutions. Eg telescopic extra long handles for everything so I don't stoop scrubbing or sweeping. The less I have to bend the better. It has been 7 years since the accident and its is only the last few months I have been able to even stand for longer than 30 minutes. I can't even sit for long. I have a long road in physical therapy but I am determined to find ways so I can clean and be independent. Decluttering really helps. It's been really good for my motivation, it's also much easier to clean if there isn't everything all over the floor and surfaces.
I love that your boyfriend supports you and helps!
Hi Lauren
How are you doing today?
You’re my encouragement for tomorrow; arrived today in my tiny holiday cottage, after 2 yrs absence. Found it being taken over by mice. Poop and pee everywhere, with a preference for the beds (and gnawed right through the covers), and for the drawer with cutlery. What you teach us, is that everything can be done.
And thank you for helping people in need of support!
Try adding some splashes of eucalyptus oil to floor, after sweeping, and then go over with a steam mop. (Kills germs).
The eucalyptus will blow mouse smells away. Wipe out cupboards with it. Put a few drops in window washing bucket. It really hammers mould on glass, stops it growing back, for a good while.
Also great to put a few drops in towel wash. Same with sheets and blankets.
Good luck with clean up!
Goodluck cleaning!!!
I love how you and your boyfriend bond. Having the same vibes on cleaning.
This girl is so beautiful in and outside, she gives me positive vibe whenever she jumps and smiles
Always amazes me how she has so much motivation :0
It isn't motivation. She likes doing it, so it doesn't require much motivation for her. If there's something you want to get done, but you feel like you lack motivation, try making the activity more enjoyable. :)
For example, I used to dread doing the dishes, but then I built an ikea shelf above my sink to put my laptop on so I can watch videos while I do dishes, and not only did it make it more enjoyable, but it also gave me a better sense of how long doing dishes actually takes. My brain would blow it up into this job that takes *forever* but now I know it really doesn't take longer than 15-20 minutes at most.
Motivation is a myth. If you rely on motivation to get things done, it'll never work lol.
@@seqka711 That's what my sister used to say: "Your house is always clean because you like to clean." I had to explain to her that what I get out of cleaning is the high I get after the cleaning is done. I guess it's like people who climb mountains, the climbing is arduous, but the endorphin high you get when you accomplish your climb is worth it; same with cleaning for me.
You are welcome to me 🌹🌹
My room was so dirty all the time but I started watching this channel and it inspired me to clean my room Tysm 🤗❤️✨
To be honest I want to see longer vedios of you doing cleaning work because you clean so well and it is calming, I know you have to finish in one day and you can't film everything but I wish that you can 💞💞
I am 72. You have such energy, I love to watch. I try to find things to throw away, give away, or recycle every day. You make me want to clean. Al's wife, Tina
These houses are all beautiful. With beautiful furniture and stuff but hurried under piles of garbage, hiding everything. I m glad these people get to have a clean house and a fresh start.
Thank you Auri for doing this. The world needs more people like you. BTW, a man that cleans is a keeper 😉
Another wonderful clean home. Thank you for all you do for these homeowners. My teenage daughter suffers from depression and the smallest tasks are difficult for her. Just cleaning her room and bathing are monumental tasks. 😔
Hi Robyn
How are you doing today!
Life is hard, and sometimes you just need someone to not judge and help you as you are so you can take steps to heal. I love these videos so much as they are the most perfect and pure example of people helping people. That's the main theme of your videos and I adore it: you simply help people who are asking for help.
Thanks for inspiring me, my mom had a depression and we live in a lot of mess still after 8 years or so. She was to ashamed to ask for help or receive help. So I decided that I was going to help her. I know her already 16 years and know almost everything of her. She knows I will never judge her and still she is ashamed of it. I convinced her to let me help her and she said okay with much doubts. But we will start Monday with cleaning!! Thank u so much❤️ lots of love from me
I recently tried your oven cleaner/ clingfilm trick on a dirty oven tray i had, and IT WORKED AMEZINGLY!!! Also watching your video's ,makes me wanna clean my house more, so i have started to do 1 or 2 things each day, so that i can reserve my energy for doing the 'bigger' things when i do have more time and energy! thank you so much for being such a kind, gentle person, and such a inspiration to us. Much love from the netherlands
Hi Kiranode
How are you doing today?
So glad you were able to help him and give him a new start. Would love to see longer videos. 😀
4:02 had me rolling 🤣 Steel daddy wanted to scrub mommy 👀
Keep it up Auri, you're the best ❤
Your boyfriend is so gentleman and good hearted and handsome and you so beautiful and the cleaning is super👏
I was diagnosed with Unipolar Depression this year, and having struggled with depression and anxiety all my life, it has been a long battle. The past two days were especially hard and it was very hard fighting the episode that was rolling in. Thank God for my best friend, my dad. He reminded me of core truths and helped me to muster the strength to go for a walk with my daughter, which really helped me to stop thinking and just breath.
This morning I feel refreshed and ready to keep fighting. This video is really helping me to get ready to tackle the disaster that accumulated the past two days. Thank you! God bless
Love watching you clean. It inspires me!! And I especially love how kind and nonjudgmental you are toward those you clean for.
You are welcome to me 🌹🌹
Hi Jennifer
How are you doing today?
Hi Jennifer
How are you doing today?
I love that you are literally saving people's lives. May God bless you for ever.
Auri, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm a messy person and I'm very much trying to keep control of myself, but I never noticed how DIRTY my home was here and there until i started watching your videos. Thanks to you, I discovered a simple joy of scrubbing nasty things of surfaces and it makes me feel so much happier! my home is slowly getting cleaner than ever and I'm getting more and more happy with it! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
"I always laugh at the mouldy things because they are funny" your positivity makes me so happy!!! And that you are brilliantly yourself! I feel so fantastic after watching your videos thank you Auri 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
so nice to see your boyfriend helping you, he seems like a nice dude!
The impact you must have in these people's lives is enormous! Keep up the fight!
You are a wonderful lady, cleaning these houses for free. Not only are you helping people forget or help forget when they had mental people but your motivating so many of your viewers plus I don’t know about anyone else but this gets rid of anxiety. All of this for free too AND you are exposing yourself to sooo much mold and stuff.I think I speak for all when I say you are a fricken queen
Thank you for a new video! I was inspired by you to buy all the scrub daddies/oven cleaners and squeegees and deep cleaned the house I live in that hasn't been deep cleaned in years! It was SO dirty but SO satisfying, I can't stop cleaning! You changed my life! FOREVER FAN!
I love that your boyfriend helps you! Such a good man.
Shoutout to your boyfriend for always being present and provide help!
Love how respectful she is towards the home owners
It's so lovely how you help people make a fresh start. There needs to be more people like you in the world. This flat is just gorgeous too. You really helped reach its potential.
I wish I had someone around here in Michigan that could do that for me. I've suffered from depression my whole life, but I've managed to keep it together, so to speak. The last couple of years has been very brutal. Then, on October 2nd, I lost my dad. That completely broke me. I can't even put into words how broken my heart is right now. Not a day goes by that I don't sit and cry for hours. My house is trashed. If I had the money to pay somebody to come in and do it, you bet I would. I'm disabled so I can't really get up and do anything anyways. But it's just out of control and it's too much work for me. Anyways, I think what you're doing is so sweet and kind. You are helping this man tackle one of the things off his list that is making him suffer so hard. You have the kindest heart. Happy holidays. 🎄⛄🎅🤶🦌❄️
I’m so sorry to hear your story 🥺 I’m 61 and have suffered from depression most of my life. If it weren’t for the 4 sons I was raising, I wouldn’t have even gotten out of bed. I totally understand you. I started getting better with the proper meds, and little by little I’d get up and take on one small task. You’re not on a schedule, so take your time and don’t beat yourself up. I wish you luck, just keep swimming 🏊♀️
Hi, you can throw in the garbage bin 1 plastic bag of tresh you have in your house. It will take you 15 minutes a day. You do this every day and you will feel positive energy and you will feel relieved.
@@Coconut-g7v I think trying to do it all at once is overwhelming if the person is depressed.
Where in Michigan?
G'day, KarieJo! I am so sorry for your loss of your beloved father. There is a channel called Midwest Magic Cleaning, but I don't know which state it operates in. It's done by a wonderful gentleman named Adam who happens to be autistic but high-functioning and he cleans for free. You might try that channel and leave a comment about your need. If he doesn't work in Michigan, maybe he knows of someone who does. Or, you could google free cleaning for disabled and see what comes up. Hope you find the help you need and may God bless you. 💙
I really wish your videos were longer. I get so into watching you clean and it just feels like they are over as soon as they start. It’s so fascinating.
I love the sinks in Finland. I have yet to see any sinks like this in Canada with the built in area to place dishes to dry. You do such a wonderful job cleaning! I am glad that you found a partner who supports you and enjoys cleaning as much as you.
Most sinks in England used to have the draining board next to the sink until dishwasher machines became popular - if I stay somewhere with no draining board I find it very inconvenient!
I'm from Finland and I love our sinks too lol
I love your videos. I suffer depression/PTSD, and had someone rather abusive in my life that made me relate cleaning to something bad. Watching you take on these rooms and act disappointed when something is easy, and not acting shocked/hateful inspires me to not let that person's negativity effect how I am -now.- Thanks for making these videos. I like rewatching them over and over as I clean.
I hope you can redefine cleaning for yourself step by step ❤️
How wonderful that she is so kind and respectful of the homeowner and their situation.
Здравствуйте! Мне нравится смотреть ваши видео !! Можно сделать их побольше по времени!!???!😂 Спасибо за мотивацию!!
@@littlerussianmax5831 Согласна с Верой, вы как-то поняли ☺️ значит все поймут.
Shes from Finland so she cant understand You 🇫🇮
@LIVE FOR TWO there’s a button that literally says Translate to English duhhhh 🙄
@@littlerussianmax5831 She not he
Yes! Longer videos please!!!!!!!! I love them so much! 🥰🥰🥰
So nice apartment, good shiny day and so much fun, thank you!!
Dieser Kunde hatte bis vor kurzem eine schöne gepflegte Wohnung. Ich wünsche ihm gute Besserung!
Toll, wie Du ihm hast helfen können. Tolle Arbeit!
These past two weeks I've learnt how much I'm anticipating your upcoming videos. I was waiting with eager for a new cleanup since you didn't post anything last week. I've accidently become a hard core fan! Keep up the good work! :)
Almost have to sleep right now but I’m looking forward to watching this tomorrow. Thank you not only for helping with cleaning but also inspiring us if we’re unreachable.
