Men can clean. All 4 of my brothers can not only clean but are good cooks, too. My mom taught them like she taught my sister and me. Have you seen "Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners" here? Premise is OCDs help those who don't care. Many of the cleaners are men. Pretty interesting.
I just binge watched 5 days 100 presenters on get organised hq. Cleaning, organising, crafting, home decore, motivation etc etc. 100 presenters and not one male. Ok, I missed a few but pretty sure no males. Cleaner guy, you should hit them up for next year's virtual conference. Diversity and all.
Years ago my husband and I were in marriage counseling. After 3 sessions the councilor said, take the money you would pay me and hire a good housekeeper once a week. You'll be OK, but you need help right now when your kids are small. He was right. 42 years and counting. 💜Thanks for helping this family I'm sure it was a relief for them. 💙
Bravo. My mother used to have a residential cleaning service in the 1990s. I can tell you, this video is not from a messy family. That is not a terrible mess. That is depression and anxiety. That is what "overwhelmingness" looks like.
Don’t judge the owners. Mine got like this when I had a stroke and was in the hospital two months. My teens and kids tried but they had their stuff and would go see me in hospital every day. Don’t ever say anything bad, you don’t know what anyone is going through. Even the experts on TH-cam don’t show you everything. I know they’re not super human and spend 24/7 cleaning. But we all do the best we can.
Same! We had a very traumatic birth of our son who wound up in the NICU for 2.5 months and came home with special needs. My home is definitely similar to this one. We clean seemingly nonstop but it never ends. I watch these videos to get ideas on HOW to clean effectively. Make better use of the small amount of time I do have
I have hard time keeping my home clean. Because of being at work most of the time and I clean for a living. And when you have a young adult kid which is mine does not clean behind himself and gets annoying.
I was a maid for many years. These kinds of houses were a goldmine for me. A true win/win for all. Satisfying for me when I got everything organized and clean. Lots of hugs. Sometimes tears of thanks. Houses can get pretty bad. Most often it was due to depression or an injury, medical problems and the like.
Most homes (including mine) go back messy in a matter of days, because it needs to be decluttered, and not just cleaned. I am in the process of getting rid of so much stuff and then organizing, that way it can’t become messy.
I agree...too.much stuff makes keeping a clean space impossible. Also...how many people live in this house. That was a TON of shoes! Just put the ones not worn often in the closet and keep the ones worn often by the door...just my thought as I live in a small house with a family of five and also have a shoe rack by the door. I am frequently rotating commonly worn shoes in and out of there to keep this mess from happening
That’s the point- you are doing it. I’m recovering from surgery. My spouse and child are doing their best but the house definitely shows there is a pair of hands missing.
Clutter is half the problem. The other half is it’s easy to clean, but the habits that caused a house to get this chaotic , remain. But definitely a ruthless declutter and strict 1-in-1-out philosophy will help minimize the ongoing mess
I can tell right off just by the WAY you stacked the rinsed dishes that you absolutely knew what you were doing...that and a hundred other things you did in the logical order...like first soaking the dirty dishes in hot sudsy water, laying out a large towel for drying, etc! It's 'poetry in motion'!
@@outlander_...I love having a dishwasher! I gain extra counter space without the mucky, moldy plastic drain basket and I don't have to stare at dishes which are calling out to be put away. Some items seem to live there permanently, like a sad little plastic spoon or cup without a home. Depressing! My dishwasher hides the dishes till they're ready to be stored...magic!
@@outlander_...maybe someone will invent a 'dish roomba'... haha. But guess what...in Italy they've done something so clever with this: directly ABOVE the sink, there is a cabinet with a rack and an open grille bottom. You wash the dishes by hand and place them (wet) directly in the rack to drip dry into the sink. You can close the cabinet and walk away... they're already put away in one step!! So smart!
You are a saint for doing these free cleanings for people who are dealing with a lot. Your humor makes your videos even more fun and addicting to watch
I have a cleaning service and let me tell you this guy is good. It's so hard to find someone who can see their way through a big job. Or even knows how to clean and straighten period. Good job! If I could find someone like you I would go halves with you everyday. As it is I have to get two people and still end up doing the most of it myself! Very impressive! And very kind! I don't cook or have anything else to offer folks in need but if it's cleaning that could help that I can I volunteer a Saturday for. Nothing makes sick folks and the elderly feel better than a clean and tidy house!
@@carolinejohn4537 The woman, of the neigbourhouse, sat on toilet, in front of my eyes, because, the door can't be closed, because of the chaos. 🥵🥵 What do you think ???
I've been watching various videos related to putting order in chaos. People could have been sick, lost a job, had marriage troubles, or whatever. The result was a shock and overwhelm. When people mow a lawn, clean black concrete, or any number of things, it gives a restart in life. Thank you very much for your work. Good before and after pictures.
I find these videos really relaxing and satisfying.I'd love to see the look on the faces of the people you're helping,i bet it's such a relief to see the order. These videos motivate me to start cleaning when I can't be bothered.
Thank you!!!! Some of your ideas have helped me overcome obstacles to cleaning. Setting up a staging area to work from, not being afraid to clean and then reclean really bad areas, and hints on how to clean difficult areas have proven invaluable to getting me going. I've made so much progress and am motivated to keep going. You've made a big difference in my life! Again, thank you.
Like I always say God Bless you over and over. It takes a certain type of person that would go way beyond to help people and you certainly are that person.
This man is getting down all those rooms of the house, that is some next level cleaning stamina. As a SAHM I am super pooped after 2 rooms while also caring for the kids. He is great.
Honestly, you can tell that this person kept their house clean until maybe the last month or two. It doesn't take long for it to cave in. I'm sure some circumstances out of their control contributed. I know they were so thankful for the reset.
This reminds me a lot of our house.... not dirty, just cluttered.I'm working, and doing school, my mom has 2 part time jobs and my dad had a full time. We also share the house with 3 kitties and 6 dogs so it's hard to take care of. This video just motivated me to spend my next couple days cleaning though, so thank you :)
You're the best. People don't understand how brain work when they are depressed, overwhelmed and with anxiety. When I do something my brain doesn't let me, I start feeling stress and I feel like my time is running out and I take hours to do simple task and I start to cry and I just can't finish what I start. When I am not depressed or stressed my brain bypasses all of that and I can clean so fast and I don't feel overwhelmed at all. Like when I am depressed my bathroom takes me 3+hours to clean and when I am not depressed I can clean it in less than 1 hour
The only thing I found strange was the amount of eggs on the counter... then I thought... they must have chickens... And then I saw them through the door LOL - beautiful results, the house feels lived in and inviting and cozy! Best wishes to the family!
After seeing generations of hoarding in the homes of my friends/loved ones taking hold in latter years, I was made aware that it didn't happen overnight. Although a traumatic event might have been the initial trigger, there might even have been other issues related to declining physical/mental health. Eventually more trauma, embarrassment, shame, the person became so overwhelmed that simply deciding to start was an issue and it was just easier to tune it all out and ignore it. I commend people for getting the help that you both recommend and also provide. You are wonderful.
I’m impressed by how respectful you were of this family. It’s incredibly difficult not to try decluttering and organizing other people’s stuff. That’s a process they need to deal with themselves.
This is absolutely fantastic! I learned I have ADHD after moving out of my home of 21 years to a much smaller home. I didn't know why I was having trouble unpacking and finding places for stuff. Then just two months later, covid hit. I was overwhelmed inside of my home and outside of my home that I avoided cleaning because it would send me into a spiral of overwhelm. It got so bad I finally had a mental breakdown. I finally learned to purge my stuff and that helped a lot and I finally pulled myself out of that depression but it was hard. Thank you so much for helping them.
This exact thing happened to me! Moved 10/2019 after 30 years in one house. Overwhelmed and couldn’t remember where I put things away. I was definitely depressed. I’m getting better and I hope you are too.
I am so proud of you! I moved ‘more then 3 times durning Covid with little kids and it was exhausting, finally in my appt for year and there boxes in my clothes that still need to be unpack because can’t find place for it. It so stressful when you don’t have a spot or a place things can be and you remember where it’s at. But working on it slowly! A lot easier
I have known I have ADHD. But I worked hard to keep up with everything. Then Covid… stuck in a 2 bedroom apartment with two small children. Looking forward to moving in Aug2020… nope! Still in that tiny apartment cuz the housing market is insane and can’t afford a 3 bedroom cuz prices got hiked up so much! Last year I had a miscarriage at 15 weeks after a difficult pregnancy, then my husband needed tooth surgery and then we got covid. It just went downhill from there. Finally getting everything back in order but it isn’t easy. It has been a tough few years. I didn’t know how bad my ADHD could get till I wasn’t able to take my kids to a playground and was not able to leave much due to the world being shut down and then everything else followed. It has humbled me a lot to understand others situations.
You're so right. I have my own cleaning company that I work daily at plus I work full time at a restaurant cooking 5 to 6 nights a week. I might have one day off a week in a month if I'm lucky. My own home gets like this at times. Cause when I finally make it home and take a shower it's bed time. Plus I dealt with so many physical and mental health issues to were I was unable to do anything for a long time.
God bless you for helping these families! It's so inspiring. My husband had a very involved hip replacement in December that was much worse than we anticipated. I lost my job at the same time, which turned out to be a blessing, because he has needed my help for everything. Long story short - our house is worse than it has ever been, and it's driving me bonkers. I've just been too stressed to deal with it. Your videos have helped me see it's doable. I greatly appreciate you posting these!
It's truly amazing what you're doing for others in need. I have fibromyalgia and sometimes it's hard just washing the dishes. I still push myself but it's gotten out of control before and it's overwhelming when you don't feel well or when it's gotten to the point where you don't even know where to start and if you'll ever even be able to start. People don't understand.
I understand you. From someone who suffers from depression, anxiety, stress, severe chronic pain and where my feet and hands go knumb or my hands can't grip so things fall out of my hands, chronic migraines and monthly chronic infections and heart disease and can die anytime. I understand
They will never understand. It's like trying to understand why it (statistically) takes an abused woman seven times to leave her abuser. I don't understand that but I can also understand the fear and hesitation over planning to leave. The worst, however, in the context of cluttered houses, is they think they need to understand to have empathy and compassion ... they don't. I often see comments from those who could use help and wish I knew if anyone lived near me because I'd love to help. I understand. I have a few conditiins, physical and mental. The truth is, each human has something, whether they tell anyone or not. I've heard this man suggest just do 3 ft, or a desk top, at a time. I've heard suggestions of setting a timer which wouldn't work for me as I'd be anxious about the timer going off. You must take care of yourself and you can only do what you are able to do. If you have a close friend maybe they can help you for a bit?
“Overwhelmed family” Just that right there triggers my empathy 🎉 God bless this cleaning man for his work and the family. So happy to see them getting such help. It will certainly be a load off 🙏🏼
I find that it's easier to keep clean if you get rid of unneccesary things and keep it minimal, buy things that are easy to clean and not easily broken, make notes of what to do, separate outdoor and indoor shoes, give responsibilities to everyone in house, clean the little things immediately, make it a habit to put everything in its place after use. That and of course time management, although this only help so far if you have the capability and time to.
The best comment so far. There's too much stuff in this home and too many surfaces covered in little things. Containers and closed storage reduce visual clutter and actual dirt and dust collecting on items. I know these things because that is what makes my childhood home impossible to clean. I will definitely keep a different system when I'm lucky enough to have a home of my own.
Thank you for helping them! Its inspiring to see ppl helping others and you have a fantastic community in the comment section. Noone tearing the family down. This can happen to anyone. Depression chronic illness stress or overwhelm all can put the house in a state noone wants. Then the shame and guilt can be paralysing.(speaking from experience) Sending everyone here in the comments a tonne of love.
It never fails to amaze me how quickly our home becomes messy and dirty, in spite of what I do daily to keep on top of it. And I’ve only got to get really ill for a few days, and then my house looks just like this one.
Sadly I've done this "job" ... Till I went back every week and same crap. Till they clean on their own nothing changes. After 3 months of constantly trying for 4 "family's" I've noticed zero helped themselves afterwards. Just expected me back every day.
This home seems to just have everyday clutter which we can all relate to sometimes. Just a good tidy and purge of rubbish and surface clean and voila, you’ve transformed the place. Good on you for helping them out.
You do such a very good job!! I would have like to have been a fly on the wall when these people walked into their organized clean hom. God bless you!! ❤
You did a great job. My mom taught me that the order in which to wash dishes is, glasses and cups 1st followed by cutlery then plates and finally pots and pans.
Dish detergents are much, much better than they used to be, so the order of washing doesn't really matter, except the really dirty pots and pans should go last. In any case, if someone was washing your dishes, for free, to help you out when times are tough for you, you probably wouldn't be critical of the order.
I do something I call “finish it Fridays” anything I see 1/2 way done gets finished on Friday. The outlet on the wall without a cover would be an example of something I would add to my list. There’s something really satisfying about finishing projects : )
What a wonderful way to help an overwhelmed family! This would have been a godsend when it was MY family! A blessing on video: how kind of you to do this. Thank you for sharing with us.
Just found your videos and love them but I have to say it's so much better when you narrate with no music, rather than no narration with music. I'm glad you've changed your format a bit over time, and glad you do such good work for people!!
Amazing! I love how supportive these comments are. A lot of cleaning videos have very judgmental comments on the owners of these homes. Everyone* has a messy home at least once in their life. It just happens. You can tell those who take pride in their work, and you cleaned every nook and cranny! Job well done♥️
Cleaned my grandmothers house back in December. Between my self, parents and a friend we put in over 30 hours. There is something strangely therapeutic about cleaning somebody else’s house..
Amazing work you did there. You helped that overwhelmed family and made their life a little easier. I hope they manage to keep things neat and tidy and don't undo all your hard work. You're awesome that you help others. A proper and true earth angel :)
You got to give it to this man… just amazing. Great worker! I’ve done cleaning all my life and it is hard work. Once you get your routine down you can breeze through it. Always love to see the outcome and made me feel good. I’ve met a lot of nice people doing this. I take pride in my work. 40 plus yrs later it really took a toll on my body. Wouldn’t change anything though. Blessings to all! Thanks for sharing, your one heck of a man😊🙏🏻
Your videos are so relaxing! I’m at home sick with covid and watching these makes me feel so happy that there is someone out there like you helping others and making the world a better place! Thank you!!!!!!! Also you are amazing at organizing and cleaning! It made me laugh so hard when you tried to kind of organize the shoe rack but then just dumped them all onto the pile!!!! Cracked me up!!! 😂😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😎😎😎😎
Great Job that you've done. One thing I've learned you cannot clean around clutter, so its important for people to do a regular purge. I have a three pile method, keep, donate, trash..... works every time.
Yes. And I don't care how many kids people have or how busy they are, you have to just stop and take 10 minutes and do it. Even a 5-minute straighten up to just clear surfaces and floors, throw away trash, and put dishes in the d/w, every 2 or 3 days can avoid this kind of mess piling up
@@cathyshaw-kalloo237 yes! even MORE important with a large family... heard it called " Clean as you go". When our ( five ) little ones were ready to go up to bed we had s game: "Ok: everyone has to pick up exactly SEVEN ( or adjust the number to fit the mess ) toys and put them away. Because it was only a finite number they didn't seem to mind at all. They thought they could fool us by picking up what they thought was 'easy' but it was still picking up stuff! We didn't care how large or small...we got good at estimating the number ( times five ) and their toys would all get picked up in two minutes..they would giggle and get it done for us!
@@cathyshaw-kalloo237 There is a lot to be said in your statement. Keeping up daily, by allocating even 30 mins really does make a big difference. As I cook dinner, I will clean up, do some chores around the house, and even get laundry in for a wash. It does help to maintain a clean, organized home.
Looked pretty clean and organized to me at the start-better than what I grew up in-signed Daughter of an Overwhelmed Mother who was also Caretaker of Paralyzed Husband and also University Professor
In the USA we shop because we are bored. End of it. I am glad there are people like you who go out and rescue people from themselves. This is amazing. I know many cannot part with anything--I know it is an illness. You are amazing to do this for people.
It's going to get better. God has this Raziel. The worst things that have ever happened to us (we are 65 and 70), have turned out to be the best things that have ever happened to us looking back. Hang in there. Remember: How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Just do this one day at a time, one counter at a time, etc. You got this! Prayers going up.
Watching your videos is very inspiring. I am a person who has gotten behind my cleaning. I don't know why, I'm just not that into it anymore. Could be my age, could be the fact that I spent my entire childhood doing what my mother should have been doing. From the time we could carry our dishes to the sink, we were washing, drying and putting them away, not to mention everything else we had to do. It could be anything but I really have no excuse. Thank you for doing what you do for people that get overwhelmed with their work. God's blessings on you 🙏
You are so awesome I enjoy watching your videos and at the same time I get motivated to clean.plus you are helping a family that we don't know what they are going thru
You did a fantastic job! The house will be easier to keep tidy now that the rooms are not overwhelmed with messy clutter. I let my basement “go wild”, mostly because I work FT and have a house to run. I became stressed just thinking of going down there. Cue the pandemic and a cancelled summer vacation abroad. That basement is now a work of de-cluttered and re-organized art. I enjoy the space now and find it easy to keep clean and tidy. That job took the entire two weeks of my vacation, and is the only thing I thank COVID-19 for.
It’s easy to be judgmental, but this is clearly a busy family with a lot of schedules and responsibilities to stay on top of nonstop! It’s such a great thing you do here by taking on the clean up that’s clearly had to take a back seat to food preparation, new school year, animal care, work outside the home and parenting. Thanks for seeing a need and giving them some breathing room!
At the same time, the more organized a home is, the easier everything else is. I raised 4-6 kids at different times (niece and nephew) and can attest to that.
@@Mink_Tracks That might happen once in a while, but I'm going to bet that isn't the case about 90% of the time. Even if there was a crisis, there are professional house cleaners that can come in for a decent price.
It will not last, why should it when they can just have someone come in and do their job for them, there is a difference between throwing in a couple loads laundry and doing up some dishes, this is downright neglect and not caring. They obviously! have time to shop, make food, activities and do what ever it is they do, but housework is too "overwhelming"????
I use to have my own janitorial service. One of the things that I used to do that I implemented my own home now. Is I boil the water on top of the stove for my mop water. The scolding hot water makes it so much easier to remove dirt from the floors...Nice job👌🏽
Another great clean up as always. You made it look easy and the end result must have given you a great sense of satisfaction. The family can move on with their lives now.
Awww.... What a great job!! I know how it is when you're overwhelmed with life and it seems like you cant even keep your head above water, much less take on a major clean. The owners must be thrilled and it will really lift their spirits. 💜
My house would get like this and it stemmed from depression and anxiety. I was overwhelmed with work and life and that showed in the state of our house. Declutter if and creating organization really helped me be able to manage my house better.
Amazing work ! It’s absolutely right to don’t judge anyone !!! I hope it is not just the house clean, because it’s has a reason why this goes so far . I really really hope the people get help ❤️ how ever the help looks like, be never ashamed to asked for help !
There were a few truly striking moments in this video for me, the way he went through and organized the shoes and the laundry. Idk. Those were just moments that showed a level of intimacy and care for the customer.
This looks just like my home so if anyones wondering i can say its not just lazyness. My mother has 2 jobs and a lot of paperwork and im autistic and dont have more than 3 active hours a day so its really hard to keep up with it especially if youre also wrangling with inherited and trauma induced hoarding tendencies.. i think she does too much.. i wish she wouldnt beat herself up over it so much Its awesome that you help people like this out.. even if it might not stay tidy long its still clean now and thats big
I watched this, having seen you do part of this house in another video but I missed you talking to us!!😅 I enjoy your narratives and the cleaning tips and such you share. I just think you're great at this. And reading comments on your posts you are obviously inspiring lots of people and that's wonderful. Myself included 😊❤
I saw this video and my first thought was where do you even start? Id be totally overwhelmed. Then I remembered what my apartment looked like exactly 1 week ago before I cleaned it. Let’s just say ADHD + busy schedule + living alone + health issues does not make anything good. Really cleaned (like vacuumed and all) for the first time in 2 months. Now my house is clean. Well, it has been almost 2 years since the last deep clean, but you just motivated me to finally hire a cleaner to do that for me. :) Honestly, about $300 a year to get someone to do a deep clean is totally worth not having to ever do it myself.
Decluttering and having a home for everything helps beyond measure!! If you bring something in the home, something needs to go out! Thank you for the video Midwest Magic!! You rock!!!
As a single mom with 3 son's, I totally can relate to being overwhelmed. I just have to do sections at a time. Yesterday I cleaned out all my kitchen cabinets. Ive been on this declutter binge a couple weeks now because we are about to become homeless. Your videos are very helpful.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way. I watch cleaning videos on here all the time for motivation. You're the first MAN I've seen! And this is so wonderful. Thank you for the content!

If I could find someone like you I would go halves with you everyday. As it is I have to get two people and still end up doing the most of it myself! Very impressive! And very kind! I don't cook or have anything else to offer folks in need but if it's cleaning that could help that I can I volunteer a Saturday for. Nothing makes sick folks and the elderly feel better than a clean and tidy house!
My most embarrassing encounter, I had on a messy bathroom. 🥵🥵🥵 Can you feel with me ???
God bless you, yours an angel 💟
@@carolinejohn4537 The woman, of the neigbourhouse, sat on toilet, in front of my eyes, because, the door can't be closed, because of the chaos. 🥵🥵 What do you think ???
Having the family find their stuff later is real organization
So true ❤
I have a housecleaning business for over 15 years. I have to say I'm very impressed with how much you got done in 6 hours! Excellent job!
I like it when you narrate the videos versus playing music. Your voice is so soothing and I love listening to you
Thank you for posting these videos! You are giving these families and individuals such a gift by helping them have a clean and tidy home.
I've been watching various videos related to putting order in chaos. People could have been sick, lost a job, had marriage troubles, or whatever. The result was a shock and overwhelm. When people mow a lawn, clean black concrete, or any number of things, it gives a restart in life. Thank you very much for your work. Good before and after pictures.
I find these videos really relaxing and satisfying.I'd love to see the look on the faces of the people you're helping,i bet it's such a relief to see the order. These videos motivate me to start cleaning when I can't be bothered.
Thank you!!!! Some of your ideas have helped me overcome obstacles to cleaning. Setting up a staging area to work from, not being afraid to clean and then reclean really bad areas, and hints on how to clean difficult areas have proven invaluable to getting me going. I've made so much progress and am motivated to keep going. You've made a big difference in my life! Again, thank you.
Like I always say God Bless you over and over.
It takes a certain type of person that would go way beyond to help
people and you certainly are that person.
This man is getting down all those rooms of the house, that is some next level cleaning stamina. As a SAHM I am super pooped after 2 rooms while also caring for the kids. He is great.
Honestly, you can tell that this person kept their house clean until maybe the last month or two. It doesn't take long for it to cave in. I'm sure some circumstances out of their control contributed. I know they were so thankful for the reset.
This reminds me a lot of our house.... not dirty, just cluttered.I'm working, and doing school, my mom has 2 part time jobs and my dad had a full time. We also share the house with 3 kitties and 6 dogs so it's hard to take care of. This video just motivated me to spend my next couple days cleaning though, so thank you :)
Oh you are wonderful to do that! I bet your parents appreciate that a lot!
You're the best. People don't understand how brain work when they are depressed, overwhelmed and with anxiety. When I do something my brain doesn't let me, I start feeling stress and I feel like my time is running out and I take hours to do simple task and I start to cry and I just can't finish what I start. When I am not depressed or stressed my brain bypasses all of that and I can clean so fast and I don't feel overwhelmed at all. Like when I am depressed my bathroom takes me 3+hours to clean and when I am not depressed I can clean it in less than 1 hour
It’s amazing the care you give to the residence’s personal property and their home.
The only thing I found strange was the amount of eggs on the counter... then I thought... they must have chickens... And then I saw them through the door LOL - beautiful results, the house feels lived in and inviting and cozy! Best wishes to the family!
I noticed the same thing.
YES lol 🐓
Hast du gesehen beim Fenster sie haben Hühner deshalb
I am personally jealous of all those fresh eggs.
Thank goodness for folks like the gentleman to help clean up their home
what a sweet compassionate man you are
I have severe anxiety so watching cleaning and organizing videos calms the anxiety a bit... Great job... Ty for sharing🤗
After seeing generations of hoarding in the homes of my friends/loved ones taking hold in latter years, I was made aware that it didn't happen overnight. Although a traumatic event might have been the initial trigger, there might even have been other issues related to declining physical/mental health. Eventually more trauma, embarrassment, shame, the person became so overwhelmed that simply deciding to start was an issue and it was just easier to tune it all out and ignore it.
I commend people for getting the help that you both recommend and also provide. You are wonderful.
I’m impressed by how respectful you were of this family. It’s incredibly difficult not to try decluttering and organizing other people’s stuff. That’s a process they need to deal with themselves.
I had to do a double take... your name was my maiden name!
@@hhhserpents5495 mine too. Liked it so much I didn’t take my husband’s name.
@@angelacross2216 I sometimes wish I hadn't LOL
A job well done. You and your fam are such wonderful gems. Love how good-hearted you are. 💙
You have a beautiful heart to help so many struggling people. You do it so thoroughly and professionally too. Bless your wonderful heart ❤
This is absolutely fantastic! I learned I have ADHD after moving out of my home of 21 years to a much smaller home. I didn't know why I was having trouble unpacking and finding places for stuff. Then just two months later, covid hit. I was overwhelmed inside of my home and outside of my home that I avoided cleaning because it would send me into a spiral of overwhelm. It got so bad I finally had a mental breakdown. I finally learned to purge my stuff and that helped a lot and I finally pulled myself out of that depression but it was hard. Thank you so much for helping them.
This exact thing happened to me! Moved 10/2019 after 30 years in one house. Overwhelmed and couldn’t remember where I put things away. I was definitely depressed. I’m getting better and I hope you are too.
I am so proud of you! I moved ‘more then 3 times durning Covid with little kids and it was exhausting, finally in my appt for year and there boxes in my clothes that still need to be unpack because can’t find place for it. It so stressful when you don’t have a spot or a place things can be and you remember where it’s at. But working on it slowly! A lot easier
I have known I have ADHD. But I worked hard to keep up with everything. Then Covid… stuck in a 2 bedroom apartment with two small children. Looking forward to moving in Aug2020… nope! Still in that tiny apartment cuz the housing market is insane and can’t afford a 3 bedroom cuz prices got hiked up so much! Last year I had a miscarriage at 15 weeks after a difficult pregnancy, then my husband needed tooth surgery and then we got covid. It just went downhill from there. Finally getting everything back in order but it isn’t easy. It has been a tough few years. I didn’t know how bad my ADHD could get till I wasn’t able to take my kids to a playground and was not able to leave much due to the world being shut down and then everything else followed. It has humbled me a lot to understand others situations.
You're so right. I have my own cleaning company that I work daily at plus I work full time at a restaurant cooking 5 to 6 nights a week. I might have one day off a week in a month if I'm lucky. My own home gets like this at times. Cause when I finally make it home and take a shower it's bed time. Plus I dealt with so many physical and mental health issues to were I was unable to do anything for a long time.
I understand big time. i am glad you are doing better.
God bless you for helping these families! It's so inspiring. My husband had a very involved hip replacement in December that was much worse than we anticipated. I lost my job at the same time, which turned out to be a blessing, because he has needed my help for everything. Long story short - our house is worse than it has ever been, and it's driving me bonkers. I've just been too stressed to deal with it. Your videos have helped me see it's doable. I greatly appreciate you posting these!
Praying that God meets yours and your husband’s needs🙏🏻❤️
It's truly amazing what you're doing for others in need. I have fibromyalgia and sometimes it's hard just washing the dishes. I still push myself but it's gotten out of control before and it's overwhelming when you don't feel well or when it's gotten to the point where you don't even know where to start and if you'll ever even be able to start. People don't understand.
I understand you. From someone who suffers from depression, anxiety, stress, severe chronic pain and where my feet and hands go knumb or my hands can't grip so things fall out of my hands, chronic migraines and monthly chronic infections and heart disease and can die anytime. I understand
They will never understand. It's like trying to understand why it (statistically) takes an abused woman seven times to leave her abuser. I don't understand that but I can also understand the fear and hesitation over planning to leave.
The worst, however, in the context of cluttered houses, is they think they need to understand to have empathy and compassion ... they don't.
I often see comments from those who could use help and wish I knew if anyone lived near me because I'd love to help.
I understand. I have a few conditiins, physical and mental. The truth is, each human has something, whether they tell anyone or not.
I've heard this man suggest just do 3 ft, or a desk top, at a time. I've heard suggestions of setting a timer which wouldn't work for me as I'd be anxious about the timer going off.
You must take care of yourself and you can only do what you are able to do. If you have a close friend maybe they can help you for a bit?
How wonderful for the family. Oddly satisfying watching someone do housework so well and so fast and its not me! Good job man.
Your videos motivate me to clean something daily. Slowly decluttering and it really makes a huge difference.
“Overwhelmed family” Just that right there triggers my empathy 🎉 God bless this cleaning man for his work and the family. So happy to see them getting such help. It will certainly be a load off 🙏🏼
I got to comment again. Just blown away at what this man did. God bless you sir, and you really helped this family out. 💯
I find that it's easier to keep clean if you get rid of unneccesary things and keep it minimal, buy things that are easy to clean and not easily broken, make notes of what to do, separate outdoor and indoor shoes, give responsibilities to everyone in house, clean the little things immediately, make it a habit to put everything in its place after use. That and of course time management, although this only help so far if you have the capability and time to.
The best comment so far. There's too much stuff in this home and too many surfaces covered in little things. Containers and closed storage reduce visual clutter and actual dirt and dust collecting on items. I know these things because that is what makes my childhood home impossible to clean. I will definitely keep a different system when I'm lucky enough to have a home of my own.
Thank you for helping them! Its inspiring to see ppl helping others and you have a fantastic community in the comment section. Noone tearing the family down. This can happen to anyone. Depression chronic illness stress or overwhelm all can put the house in a state noone wants. Then the shame and guilt can be paralysing.(speaking from experience)
Sending everyone here in the comments a tonne of love.
It never fails to amaze me how quickly our home becomes messy and dirty, in spite of what I do daily to keep on top of it. And I’ve only got to get really ill for a few days, and then my house looks just like this one.
This brightened my whole day seeing how you helped this family.
Sadly I've done this "job" ... Till I went back every week and same crap. Till they clean on their own nothing changes. After 3 months of constantly trying for 4 "family's" I've noticed zero helped themselves afterwards. Just expected me back every day.
@@lorireed8046 Yeah those are hard skills to learn for some people.
This home seems to just have everyday clutter which we can all relate to sometimes. Just a good tidy and purge of rubbish and surface clean and voila, you’ve transformed the place. Good on you for helping them out.
You do such a very good job!! I would have like to have been a fly on the wall when these people walked into their organized clean hom. God bless you!! ❤
You did a great job. My mom taught me that the order in which to wash dishes is, glasses and cups 1st followed by cutlery then plates and finally pots and pans.
Funny how soe people never knew that. I'm also from that time of everything done a certain way. Esp. hanging clothes on the line.
That’s how I do my dishes. My Mama taught me, also.
The big question, does the toilet roll feed go over or under ?
@@staceyd8397 over, no question about it.
Dish detergents are much, much better than they used to be, so the order of washing doesn't really matter, except the really dirty pots and pans should go last. In any case, if someone was washing your dishes, for free, to help you out when times are tough for you, you probably wouldn't be critical of the order.
I do something I call “finish it Fridays” anything I see 1/2 way done gets finished on Friday. The outlet on the wall without a cover would be an example of something I would add to my list. There’s something really satisfying about finishing projects : )
What a wonderful way to help an overwhelmed family! This would have been a godsend when it was MY family! A blessing on video: how kind of you to do this. Thank you for sharing with us.
Just found your videos and love them but I have to say it's so much better when you narrate with no music, rather than no narration with music. I'm glad you've changed your format a bit over time, and glad you do such good work for people!!
Amazing! I love how supportive these comments are. A lot of cleaning videos have very judgmental comments on the owners of these homes. Everyone* has a messy home at least once in their life. It just happens. You can tell those who take pride in their work, and you cleaned every nook and cranny! Job well done♥️
The videos where you talk are what I like best.
Your spouse is very lucky to have a cleaning pro like you! Such a blessing for this family!
Good job! Looked wonderful. I bet the owners were very happy ❤️
This would be an amazing gift! I'm a single dad of 4 and taking care of my elderly dad. What a blessing it would be
Yep. Cleaners should sell gift cards.😅
What beautiful Angels thst help families that are w sickness, single working moms, elderly person , God will truly Be Blessing you!! ❤
Can't imagine the relief of the family for helping them out. Bless you ❣️
I give it two weeks and they will be cryin for him to come back....
@@chrisfry436 let's hope they needed this to boost their productivity. Sometimes the problem is mental and not practical.
Cleaned my grandmothers house back in December. Between my self, parents and a friend we put in over 30 hours. There is something strangely therapeutic about cleaning somebody else’s house..
Right off the bat….. they own way too much stuff. That’s why they are overwhelmed. Great video.
Amazing work you did there. You helped that overwhelmed family and made their life a little easier. I hope they manage to keep things neat and tidy and don't undo all your hard work. You're awesome that you help others. A proper and true earth angel :)
I love how systematic and logical your cleaning method is!!! I learned so much just by watching how you move through each area. Thank you for this!
Love this cheerful music! Yes, someone actually cleaning a regular home that needs to be cleaned!!😊😊😊😊
Free cleaning to help some people in need. You're a good person ❤️
Anyone can get overwhelmed when stuff unexpected happens. Thank you
You got to give it to this man… just amazing. Great worker! I’ve done cleaning all my life and it is hard work. Once you get your routine down you can breeze through it. Always love to see the outcome and made me feel good. I’ve met a lot of nice people doing this. I take pride in my work. 40 plus yrs later it really took a toll on my body. Wouldn’t change anything though. Blessings to all! Thanks for sharing, your one heck of a man😊🙏🏻
Your videos are so relaxing! I’m at home sick with covid and watching these makes me feel so happy that there is someone out there like you helping others and making the world a better place! Thank you!!!!!!! Also you are amazing at organizing and cleaning! It made me laugh so hard when you tried to kind of organize the shoe rack but then just dumped them all onto the pile!!!! Cracked me up!!! 😂😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😎😎😎😎
I am nearly 70 and am physically unable to clean the way I want. Best investment I ever made was to hire a housekeeper! WELL worth it!
It must have been a wonderful feeling coming into their home that day 👏👏👏👏👏
Great Job that you've done. One thing I've learned you cannot clean around clutter, so its important for people to do a regular purge. I have a three pile method, keep, donate, trash..... works every time.
I've been using that method for 25 years and it works great.
Yes. And I don't care how many kids people have or how busy they are, you have to just stop and take 10 minutes and do it. Even a 5-minute straighten up to just clear surfaces and floors, throw away trash, and put dishes in the d/w, every 2 or 3 days can avoid this kind of mess piling up
@@cathyshaw-kalloo237 yes! even MORE important with a large family... heard it called " Clean as you go". When our ( five ) little ones were ready to go up to bed we had s game: "Ok: everyone has to pick up exactly SEVEN ( or adjust the number to fit the mess ) toys and put them away. Because it was only a finite number they didn't seem to mind at all. They thought they could fool us by picking up what they thought was 'easy' but it was still picking up stuff! We didn't care how large or small...we got good at estimating the number ( times five ) and their toys would all get picked up in two minutes..they would giggle and get it done for us!
@@cathyshaw-kalloo237 There is a lot to be said in your statement. Keeping up daily, by allocating even 30 mins really does make a big difference. As I cook dinner, I will clean up, do some chores around the house, and even get laundry in for a wash. It does help to maintain a clean, organized home.
and while you purge always think about your next shopping trip and be honest: do you really really need more stuff?
Looked pretty clean and organized to me at the start-better than what I grew up in-signed Daughter of an Overwhelmed Mother who was also Caretaker of Paralyzed Husband and also University Professor
What a worker you are! And a blessing to the people you help!
In the USA we shop because we are bored. End of it. I am glad there are people like you who go out and rescue people from themselves. This is amazing. I know many cannot part with anything--I know it is an illness. You are amazing to do this for people.
Not only is this so kind of y’all to do…but it’s also satisfying for you I’m sure! Just watching is satisfying honestly
I hadn't actually considered just how bad the depression has been post covid till I saw how much cleaner the "before" was than my own home
Exactly. Is that dirty? Oh. Well. Um. 😬
It's going to get better. God has this Raziel. The worst things that have ever happened to us (we are 65 and 70), have turned out to be the best things that have ever happened to us looking back. Hang in there. Remember: How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Just do this one day at a time, one counter at a time, etc. You got this! Prayers going up.
Agree, when we look at our own drawers, closets, corners, living spaces...he's so inspiring...spin kicking the place in order!
Great job, you really know how to clean. Hope the family feels better 🥰
Watching your videos is very inspiring. I am a person who has gotten behind my cleaning. I don't know why, I'm just not that into it anymore. Could be my age, could be the fact that I spent my entire childhood doing what my mother should have been doing. From the time we could carry our dishes to the sink, we were washing, drying and putting them away, not to mention everything else we had to do. It could be anything but I really have no excuse. Thank you for doing what you do for people that get overwhelmed with their work. God's blessings on you 🙏
You are so awesome I enjoy watching your videos and at the same time I get motivated to clean.plus you are helping a family that we don't know what they are going thru
I loved every second of watching this man clean this house.
You did a fantastic job! The house will be easier to keep tidy now that the rooms are not overwhelmed with messy clutter.
I let my basement “go wild”, mostly because I work FT and have a house to run. I became stressed just thinking of going down there. Cue the pandemic and a cancelled summer vacation abroad.
That basement is now a work of de-cluttered and re-organized art. I enjoy the space now and find it easy to keep clean and tidy. That job took the entire two weeks of my vacation, and is the only thing I thank COVID-19 for.
I’ll bet the homeowners were very appreciative. Well done sir!
What a wonderful gift you gave this family!! Great job!!
It’s easy to be judgmental, but this is clearly a busy family with a lot of schedules and responsibilities to stay on top of nonstop! It’s such a great thing you do here by taking on the clean up that’s clearly had to take a back seat to food preparation, new school year, animal care, work outside the home and parenting. Thanks for seeing a need and giving them some breathing room!
At the same time, the more organized a home is, the easier everything else is. I raised 4-6 kids at different times (niece and nephew) and can attest to that.
@@VioletJoy Indeed….organization is key in keeping a house in order.
@@VioletJoy thats true. but sometimes life happens. Easy to say that until a crisis or life event happens and things start pile up.
@@Mink_Tracks That might happen once in a while, but I'm going to bet that isn't the case about 90% of the time. Even if there was a crisis, there are professional house cleaners that can come in for a decent price.
It will not last, why should it when they can just have someone come in and do their job for them, there is a difference between throwing in a couple loads laundry and doing up some dishes, this is downright neglect and not caring. They obviously! have time to shop, make food, activities and do what ever it is they do, but housework is too "overwhelming"????
I use to have my own janitorial service. One of the things that I used to do that I implemented my own home now. Is I boil the water on top of the stove for my mop water. The scolding hot water makes it so much easier to remove dirt from the floors...Nice job👌🏽
check the bottle of any floor cleaner, cold water is advised!!
I do this as well. Leaves my floors streak free also.
Have you tried steam mops? They are amazing
Another great clean up as always. You made it look easy and the end result must have given you a great sense of satisfaction. The family can move on with their lives now.
Awww.... What a great job!! I know how it is when you're overwhelmed with life and it seems like you cant even keep your head above water, much less take on a major clean. The owners must be thrilled and it will really lift their spirits. 💜
My house would get like this and it stemmed from depression and anxiety. I was overwhelmed with work and life and that showed in the state of our house. Declutter if and creating organization really helped me be able to manage my house better.
Amazing work ! It’s absolutely right to don’t judge anyone !!!
I hope it is not just the house clean, because it’s has a reason why this goes so far . I really really hope the people get help ❤️ how ever the help looks like, be never ashamed to asked for help !
This gentleman right here is nothing to play with..I can't get enough of your videos .My new favorite
What a nice gift and gesture for an overwhelmed family. God bless you.
You helped this family a lot! Now that the mess is not so overwhelming anymore, they can clean the stovetop more thoroughly. Great job!

What a backhanded compliment 😆

There were a few truly striking moments in this video for me, the way he went through and organized the shoes and the laundry. Idk. Those were just moments that showed a level of intimacy and care for the customer.
You are a blessing to these families. May God continue to move you to help others. So few show the kindness youve shown😊
I salute an impressive Old School cleaner! Looks a million times better than it did!!
This looks just like my home so if anyones wondering i can say its not just lazyness. My mother has 2 jobs and a lot of paperwork and im autistic and dont have more than 3 active hours a day so its really hard to keep up with it especially if youre also wrangling with inherited and trauma induced hoarding tendencies.. i think she does too much.. i wish she wouldnt beat herself up over it so much
Its awesome that you help people like this out.. even if it might not stay tidy long its still clean now and thats big
Besides immaculate cleaning you are a Master at ORGANIZATION! Nice job.
You did such a great job and Im so happy for this family, that must have been the greatest feeling coming home.
You did another great job there and will make a big difference for them. Well done!
I watched this, having seen you do part of this house in another video but I missed you talking to us!!😅 I enjoy your narratives and the cleaning tips and such you share. I just think you're great at this. And reading comments on your posts you are obviously inspiring lots of people and that's wonderful. Myself included 😊❤
Thanks for helping out this family. You did an amazing job.
I saw this video and my first thought was where do you even start? Id be totally overwhelmed. Then I remembered what my apartment looked like exactly 1 week ago before I cleaned it. Let’s just say ADHD + busy schedule + living alone + health issues does not make anything good. Really cleaned (like vacuumed and all) for the first time in 2 months. Now my house is clean. Well, it has been almost 2 years since the last deep clean, but you just motivated me to finally hire a cleaner to do that for me. :) Honestly, about $300 a year to get someone to do a deep clean is totally worth not having to ever do it myself.
Decluttering and having a home for everything helps beyond measure!! If you bring something in the home, something needs to go out! Thank you for the video Midwest Magic!! You rock!!!
I’d love to see more cleaning videos it motivates me to clean my room especially when i have no energy to feel anything at all
As a single mom with 3 son's, I totally can relate to being overwhelmed. I just have to do sections at a time. Yesterday I cleaned out all my kitchen cabinets. Ive been on this declutter binge a couple weeks now because we are about to become homeless. Your videos are very helpful.
@Gina M so sadden to hear of your situation ...
I’m so sorry. I hope you are able to get help. ❤
