- Hi, I'm Stephanie and together with my friend Danielle, we clean homes for free!
Today I am cleaning and organising two rooms for a resident who has many health conditions meaning she sadly can't physically care for her home herself. Let's give her a helping hand. Come clean with me!
Only support us if you can afford to, watching our videos is support enough but we are adding this at the request of many who wish to further support us, please don't feel any obligation!

Thank you for your support!
As a newly wed I did a load of underwear for my husband. He said that's not how we fold it in the Navy. I tipped it out on the sofa and said have at it.
Best wishes on a happy marriage. 😂
Sounds like what I would have done.
This lady has been let down by NHS and Social care. She should never have been discharged from hospital without a care package being in place. She needs to be assessed asap by Social Work. Obviously housework is a big problem but she likely needs help with all the other activities of daily living. Fife Carer's Centre in Kirkcaldy are fantastic and could help start the process of getting the help this lady needs.
Thoroughly enjoying your videos. From a fellow Fifer. 😃
She really has, and thank you so much I've noted down your comment so I can take the info back to the lady and hopefully help her get the right support! ❤️ x

I, too, add to my list and cross it off. I thought I was the only one. This made me chuckle. I commend you for being a mother of 4 and taking time out of your busy life to help others.
Yay! Glad we aren't alone in our chaotic methods, gotta get that sense of accomplishment when we can 😁 x
I add to my lists and strike off, as well! Must be a thing, lol
I have come to a conclusion, so when someone tells you that you are doing it wrong turn around and tell them to do it there self. Because badly folded is better than not folded. You would be surprised how quiet people go.
I needed your advice forty years ago when I was stacking firewood for the first time. I was 21 and had moved into a house with two other people. My Dad had brought us a truckload of firewood already split and it sat in the carport waiting for someone to stack it neatly. I asked my boyfriend to do it, expecting him to be stronger and experienced in having a fireplace before. The wood sat there for a couple of months so I finally undertook the task myself. He then criticized my technique! The nerve of that jerk! The relationship ended soon after.
No wonder Bonnie recommended you! She looooooves laundry! 😂😊
🤣 I'm sad she lives across the pond, could have done with her help on this one haha x
Old lady here and I'm an expert at folding laundry because I wash like items together (bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, tea towels, washrags, etc.) so when you're folding you are repeatedly folding like items. You get into a rhythm, and you have the towel you just folded in front of you, so you'll be able to repeat the process. Same with T-shirts, pants, socks, underwear, etc. I hang blouses and dresses on a hanger immediately and let them dry on the hanger so they can go straight into the closet when they're dry.
That was an EPIC amount to laundry! You did good just to get them sorted and folded. ;)
That's so organised! I aspire to be that level some day 😊 x
That’s how I do laundry too,sooooo much easier!🙌🏻
I agree with you @AZHITW, I too consider myself old (63) and own a cleaning business now semi-retired having put my daughter in charge.
I started using clothes hangers when my kids were small and I still use clothes hangers when washing and follow the same folding techniques like with like. Tip: when washing bed linen, once folded, I pop the sheets and pillowcase/s into a pillowcase, keeping them all together in the linen cupboard. 😊

Thank you for helping this woman!!! I personally hate ironing. My husband hates vacuuming. We have a mutual agreement that he never has to vacuum and I never have to iron. Although we don't have many clothes that need ironing, most of them are mine - he still does it without hesitation. I am very grateful for that. And while I don't generally hate laundry, I hate laundry in winter, because it is overwhelmingly much and I have to be very consistent or it won't dry on the line and then I get backlogged and have to spend hours catching up. I rarely use our dryer because it is expensive. While I share your spider problem, I have a cat who pays her rent by getting rid of the spiders for me. Luckily she doesn't gift them to me though, I only get an occasional mouse and thats fine 🙂I am also one of your viewers that came over from Mack's channel. Greetings from Luxembourg!
I also hate ironing 🤣 my husband always does the bins in our house because I can never get the lid off without hurting my hand for some reason. Sadly I'm allergic to cats so no spider catchers in my house but luckily my husband and oldest daughter will remove them when needed 😁 x
I like the slower pace. And yes, actually, it was time for me to get up and move about, so I DID do my laundry and watched/listened to you!
Thanks for being awesome and helping out folks who need it most.
Cheers from Texas!
Great job! You girls are lovely people. The world needs more caring people like you! You are a blessing to that poor lady. ❤😊
Incredible job for just one person! You did amazing! What a terrific gift you are to help this dear lady.
Thank you. You did a heroic job folding laundry for two hours!
TYSM for helping this woman! I know that she greatly appreciates it.
Job well done Stephanie. Congrats too on being monetised I do hope it helps your channel grow further!
This was extremely relaxing
Loving the slightly slower quick speed ❤ and your narration is fine, its okay if you get distracted or off topic, your voice is pleasant and soothing.
Brilliant job, thanks for helping this lady out, she must be delighted. That amount of laundry folding would make me cry!😂❤
Fantastic job, Stephanie! Thank you for helping others.
i am 66 years old and I never knew there was a right way or a wrong way to fold towel or anything else. I always thought it was preference to the persons liking
Great Job, Stephanie!❤
Hi Stephanie and well done. So sad that this lady has had to go through so much. Thank you for helping her. Great that you are now monetised. Keep up the good work.🙏😻❤️🇬🇧
Mack sent us over to watch your wonderful videos!!! You are amazing!
Brilliant clean! Thank you for coming to the aid of those in need. Viewing from USA @ Midwest Magic Cleaning.
Wow that was a lot of laundry. Great job folding and sorting. 🥰
Goodness me that was a mammoth amount of laundry, well done for doing that. I am the same folding towels etc differently each time and who really cares how they are folded 😉. We have bigger issues to worry about!
Hello Stephanie you did a nice cleaning for this women Give her my regardsand love Greatings from Germany
You did a fantastic job on her house. When you narrate your videos, speaking louder and more confidently will help people understand you better. I had to use captions because you are so soft spoken. You are a sweet lady and I have shared all your videos. Wishing you luck with your channel.
The poor lady going through all that. I can relate. It's so nice to give those in need a fresh start. Thank you for all you do on your channel and I'm so happy you are now monetised ❤
You can fold fitted sheets!! You are a goddess!
If she has trouble folding laundry she should consider just not folding things that really don’t need to be folded and just have a storage bin for each type of item she can just throw them in after they are laundered. Items that really don’t need to be folded -> towels, sheets, blankets, pyjamas, underwear.
You are doing an amazing job!! 👏
What you are doing is so awesome! I loved this video ❤
Great video! Thank you for helping this lady. Sending her love and hoping she feels more comfortable after your help. Xxx
I always fold right out of the dryer so that everything is ready to be put away as soon as I bring it upstairs. That could help this woman if she's able, but it seems that the problem here is that it has nowhere to go even when folded. I hope she's amenable to your suggestion that she do a purge of some things to make more room. You're doing excellent work!
That's what I do too in my house (although the folded clothes seem to still take a few days to make it upstairs to be put away 😅) but yes in this home the problem is too many clothes and nowhere to put them x
You did a great job and really helped the resident
I do that to my lists too! I think what you accomplished with this laundry was very visual. Look at all those piles. Great job.
Mac from Midwest MC sent me over. It's great you are monetised now. Well done folding all that laundry. Big job. I'm glad you could help this lady in need.
I hate doing floors, love doing the bathroom, dishes, laundry and outside work. I will look at the floors for days trying to.summons the motivation to vacuum and wash them.
Hello and good vibes from Southern California USA!
I heard the "shout outs" that Bonnie and Mack gave you. However, I didn't head over to your channel. Instead, there was your latest video on my YT Home page this morning just waiting for me to watch.
I enjoyed the method you used to fold the laundry. At my house we don't call it perfect, we call it done! As long as you can squeeze it into your dresser drawers... you're good, right? 🤔
Anyway, good luck with all of your future adventures! 👍 Thanks!!!
Yay! So excited for your monition ❤
Two hours of folding! That is a lot of clothes...we all tend to have far more than we need.
Poor lady going through so much and you're right, people need better aftercare.
I'm glad both of you are helping those who desperately need it, I think you're wonderful, so please ignore criticism about you doing things incorrectly.
Could she ask for an occupational therapist assessment? They can then provide chair raisers and useful bits and bobs to help with mobility around the home. She might also need a social services assessment too. Hope she gets some support.
She told me she has been aaking for help from social services and they haven't been helping, there were a lot of mobility aids in the home so I assume she has seen an occupational therapist but I'll definitely bring it up again when we return to the property x
Mack and Bonnie sent me. Subscribed.
Commenting for the algorithm! I also speed up videos and podcasts. I like your voiceover method. Keeping notes to use is a great idea.
That poor woman. I wish and hope she can get a regular cleaner to help her in the future. Thanks you so much for helping her! Like you. I hate folding laundry and cleaning bathrooms. Your great hope you get more subscribers great job with your editing and voice overs. Love your Scottish accent!😊
I was totally impressed the way you folded the fitted sheet so quickly and perfectly. I need a tutorial on that, lol. IMO there is no "proper" way to fold towels. I changed the way I fold towels to fit my cupboard.
Thank you! I'm pretty sure Bonnie @abeautifulmess has a tutorial video on her channel for folding fitted sheets 😁 x
Thank you for sharing your voice is so soothing could listen to you all day great video ❤😊
What a good job you did! Folding clothes is tedious. I can't imagine doing it for 2 hours. I think you are correct and kind to offer to help her purge her clothes. I hope she does this. It sounds like this poor woman has been through so much. My heart and prayers go out to her. Thank you for the work you did for her. Bless you.
Although I live in England, I’ve come across your channel via Mack and Bonnie. How fortuitous. 😊
Well done!
Beautiful job on that laundry ❤
Hi from Iowa, USA. Heard about your channel from Midwest Magic Cleaning. Thanks for all you ladies do.
Both Mack and Remy are quite eloquent speakers in my humble opinion! They are also both very wise. I do think your advise hit the spot and true too! You gave her lots of practical tips and tricks to make getting started easier. I’m so sad that adult humans can be so horrible to their children in so many different ways. I know I’m not a perfect mother myself, but I’ve never been abusive in any way shape or form. I love my kids and couldn’t hurt them so purposefully and with such meanness behind it. That’s not to say I’ve done everything perfectly 100% of the time. Take care BOTH of you, and thanks for being such a nice light in what can be a dark and shadowy world.
Great job! Such a huge help, folding laundry for such a long time: this task is especially hard for many with disabilities... And I agree that the couch and surrounding area is key to change here as it looks as if the resident spends much of life right there... Excellent prioritization! Kindness and hard work are part of what you do and it is heartwarming to watch. Thank you! --BTW< Mack at Midwest Magic Cleaning says hello and he recommended your channel. I like his posts and thoughts so much I would have looked for your work but I am staying because you're good and your attitude is stellar!
Commenting to support your channel ❤
Going to have to spend today binge watching your videos. I didn't realise there was actually someone in the UK who did this.
Amazing job! I enjoy watching the laundry folding - making order out of chaos. Your voice is soothing to listen to. You are so respectful of the client and her privacy. *LOVE* the longer video! Watching from New York USA.❤
Você tem prática e agilidade em dobrar roupas 👏👏👏👏eu detesto passar roupas!
Omg..didn't know there was a wrong or right way to fold towels. LOL Think some folks need a hobby. You did a great job helping.
So lovely to check in with resident on their priority area! Absolutely love your channel content. Especially enjoy how much you help you provide in each video!🩵🤍🦋 Hope the lotion helps your hands. Thanks for sharing your time with us🎉
Such a nice chat during the folding! Enjoyable to get to know you better. One person's laundry? Oh my goodness, good recommendation to purge! That's neat about Midwest/Mac finding local people for you to help! Such a sad story this lady has! Thank you for helping her out! Congrats on reaching the stage of financial reimbursement for content, thanks for setting that aside for your supplies, etc. OH THE FOLDING IS DONE!! My least favorite chore is running the vac. I've had MANY different kinds, none worth the powder to blow them to the moon! Thanks for sharing!
Oh I love vacuuming which is probably a good thing since my husband is scared to do it since I bought an expensive hoover as he's afraid of breaking it 🤣 x
Thank you for all you do I am sure this lady really appreciated your help. I do like the way your video is made I like the voice-overs and the sped-up as well Keep it up and bless you
You are doing great, by the way
Oh my goodness !!! Catching on your posts and while watching this one you said something you do and I busted out laughing. I, too, add anything extra I do and cross it off !!! Helps me feel more accomplished. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Stephanie, you are doing a great job, helping people in need even when you have your family of four to take care of. I admire you for the patience and the kindness you show to the residents. They surely appreciate all your hard work and time. There are no good or bad ways for folding, do what you think is best. Lol. Be mindful of your back, you only have one. Try to use a chair whenever you can. Hopefully this lady will get some household help in the future. Keep up the spirit. Bless you and your family. BTW I absolutely hate dusting. 😂
Laundry is never truly complete unless everyone in the household is naked.
It never ends. I literally do 3 loads of washing a day every day. Each day, the children have 4 sets: pyjamas, school uniforms, normal clothes, sports/activities uniforms.
I hate dusting and mopping! You did a wonderful job 🎉
I hate all house work. It is something i see as an unending task. When I clean it has to be full on. Like floors I sweep then wet and scrub, then mop until the water comes clean. This is a lot of work and takes me all day. Then the second someone steps on it i feel like it has all been undone. It is unreasonable but sadly how I feel. I use these cleaning videos to keep my motivation up. Because it feels heartbreaking when something that takes so much work becomes undone so easily. You are doing great work and i commend you for your hard work. I like your voice. It was nice getting to know you and the resident. I hope she gets the help she needs.
Hi Stephanie, I am a new subscriber to your channel. I LOVE these free cleaning programs and also watch Mack from Midwest Cleaning, Barbie, Bonnie from A Beautiful Mess , Auri, Remi Clog as well as a couple of Chinese channels Yoha, Master and Sweet. You guys are all AMAZING!
Mack sent me. Your fast speed is just perfect. Mack does that too. Thanks for all you do!
Laundry overload! 😲👍
What a herculean task that was! Well done you.
In my whole life I don't think I have owned as many clothes as were shown here. I hate ironing, and find it limits creasing if I take things straight out of the washing machine when it finishes and hang them up instead of letting them sit in the machine until I get round to emptying it.
I hate ironing too, I think I'd cry if I had to iron that many clothes 😭 x
If that’s laundry for one person that’s insane. I hate folding laundry so you are a saint for doing this.
What you are doing for this woman and all of the other people you are and have been helping is just so wonderful! I know that you are changing people lives for the better!
I cannot stand folding laundry! I usually have to body double and fold while watching videos like yours, Macks, Bonnie's, or Barbies. If i didn't these videos to watch my laundry would never get folded lol.
Thankyou for what you do for these people and the time you give to these people that need help you work is outstanding turning rooms from clutter to perfect again. Iam a bit of a clean freak my self and love video's like this thankyou for helping these people that need help ❤️ ♥️ 🙏 💕.
Laundry Warrior! ( another fan from Midwest Magic )
I hope she has a friend who can help her declutter 75% of her wardrobe
What a genuinely kind thing to undertake. And you have 4 children!! Best wishes and Blessings to You.
Good to hear on monetisation, hard work should pay off. Best regards from Australia and a midwest magic viewer ❤
Thank you for helping this lady
I personally hate cleaning the bathroom but that’s because I have an aversion to touching loose strands of wet hair. Even my own
Yes! I've said before that hair is great but the minute it falls out in the shower, it's gross!
I heard about you from Bonnie and Mack! Keep up with your wonderful work!
Hi Stephanie, the speed is perfect, especially for watching you fold laundry. I hope the woman will donate her excess clothing to a thrift shop. She is very fortunate to have your help. The housework I hate the most is cleaning out drawers, closets & cabinets. Look forward to more videos. Greetings from New Jersey,USA.
Great job moving a mountain all by yourself (hope that caused a smile 😉). Your off to a great start.
I love the speed feature on videos. I'm a skip to the end kind of gal. I usually watch on 2x, and then, depending on the content, I go back and watch at 1.25 or 1.5. I very rarely watch on regular speed. I do it with audio books, too. And I dream about cleaning or tasks also, but I get so sad when I wake up and realize that I have to do again for real.
Thank you for being a kind soul and doing things that I never could. You are awesome!
Awe!! You do a beautiful job with such care & love! ❤️ Congrats on joining the TH-cam program!! So happy for you! 🎉
I’m like you, if I have a list & do something else, I add it to check it off. 😅
That was a lot I laundry folding in one session I am new to your channel and enjoying it so far.
You made what looks like a crucifix mirror.
ps. Love your channel. You are a nice addition to my lineup. 💙😎
Hi Stephanie
You are a Blessing. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Stephanie, new sub Australia 🇦🇺 👋🏼
That certainly is a huge folding pile! Well done, mammoth effort indeed. ❤
Such a wonderful thing you did for this poor lady, I bet she was so happy with having this done.
I wish her well and hope she is on the road to recovery. It sure sounds like the NHS has let her down 😔
Please don't worry about folding things "properly ", you are doing amazing work getting that Mt. Wash more folded and sorted. Whew!! Thank you for what you are doing for her...I hope social services can provide some consistent weekly help for her.🎉🎉🎉
Great job 😊
Am enjoying your channel ❤am coming over from midwest magic cleaning
Another great video! Be sure to take your water breaks! Walk around & stretch or take a load off for a minute. Take care of yourself!
You are a natural laundry folder no matter how you fold towels.I enjoyed this so much as I am disabled as well and it helped me pass time.Beautiful job!
Hi I found your channel thru Midwest Magic Cleaning. I am American but I have a lot of Scottish heritage. You look like you could be my sister. Love your videos.❤
The amount of laundry you folded was phenomenal 😳
Have you tried wearing lightweight cotton gloves under the rubber gloves? It helps me.
Keep up the fantastic work
Hello! Found you from Midwest Magic Cleaning's shout-out. I'm so glad to hear that your channel has gotten monetized and you've made good connections. Keep up the good work!
It is very difficult to fold laundry with only one working hand. I know because my husband had a severe stroke when he was 40 yrs old. I helped a lot but he was pretty self sufficient . But getting dressed took time. We take a lot for granted when all our parts work
Hey, another great video, thank you very much for that. ❤
Your voice is very calming so I’m glad found you. Actually Mack sent me.
I really hate folding laundry too, but I like hoovering. I like to see the bits disappear and if you have some crumbs or something I like the sound the hoover makes at it goes through the metal bit :)
God reward you! I really like the voice over that you do! Very interesting & it makes the task go faster. I’m really glad you two have reached the point that you can reap some money.
