- Welcome! We are Stephanie and Danielle, and we clean homes for free!
Today we are cleaning the hallway and kitchen of a dirty home that is full of rubbish. The resident struggles with depression, self-harming, and ptsd from childhood trauma. This mess started with the loss of a close relative and after drowning in grief for the past year, the resident really needs our help towards a brighter future. This is part two of cleaning this house. Come clean with us!
Part one:

Thank you for your support!
This video wasn't supposed to upload until tomorrow but when I edited the voiceover and reuploaded it, it must have overode the scheduled time 🙈 oh well I guess you guys got it early this week 😅 x
You mean you’re not chipmunks?! Darn! I thought i was watching a Scottish nature program. 😮 just kidding. Good job chipmunks. 🐿️
Wow, what a difference! Great job ladies❤❤❤❤
It's a treat then. Thanks. Vote 💙
@@fifefreecleaning happy to get a sneak preview!
so so glad it did. l am in bed with flu feeling very sorry for myself and this has cheered me up xx
Don’t be afraid to go full Scottish on the job! That is part of what makes this channel so unique!!
Yes totally agree!
Hey girls, fellow Scot here, and pretty close to you. Get yourself some Tesco's own-brand kitchen spray. I have found it to be one of the best grease-dissolving yet cheap cleaners. It foams when you spray, and if you let it sit a few minutes, it removes a lot of stubborn grease and grime. I bought it to clean something outside that I was not too bothered about. I picked the cheap option. I was so surprised by it that I now buy it as my main kitchen cleaner, and they do refills too. Also, get yourself the pink stuff paste. Anything on white that is not budging seems to be able to get the most out. If you ever need any help with a bigger job, gimme a yell. I have helped clean mental health houses my whole life because of my autistic family (I am ASD too, and much like Mack, my special hobby is turning chaos into calm and cleaning the worst), and my brother owns a cleaning company. I worked for him through my teens and have battled some of the worst hoarding or neglect homes I have ever seen. You, ladies, are doing amazing; keep up the good work.
Mack, Barbie and Bonnie are wonderful people who do such good work for others. I get this same feeling from y'all as well. Great work, ladies. ❤
Thank you for talking about how cleaning doesn't come naturally to everyone - I definitely feel this way. Watching Mac's videos has really helped me, since he does actually have a few going through the "basics" that most people think everyone just knows.
Please don't listen to the negative comments. Its definitely better to hear a friend when you're cleaning.
I actually really like your voice, it's very calm, soothing and friendly. Like we're hanging out having a chat over tea or something. ❤
Someone said you're too monotone but I really enjoy your voice and accent. You've been added to my watch while sleeping to stop nightmares list!
Watch out for the house moose & cabinet wolves that are always out to get midwest magic cleaning
I am so thrilled for you two! I will keep my comment brief here since I know you already have a million comments to read and that is so overwhelming, especially when you were not expecting it. 😊 I think my favorite thing about you so far is that you are just open and honest about everything you are doing and it's admirable that you are willing to just jump in and help even though this isn't something that comes naturally to you. I'm also glad to have more friends in this space who understand how mentally draining it can be on top of the physical exhaustion. I think I'm always more mentally drained at the end of these cleanings than I am physically. It does take time to recover. Anyway, it looks awesome! My video will be going up in just a couple of hours and will give you another Shout out.❤❤❤
Thanks Bonnie, I'm just back home from holiday and looking forward to sitting with a cup of tea to watch your video 😊 I'm thankful to do the cleans with Danielle and take my hat off to you and Barbie who do all the work yourselves, it definitely isn't easy. We're so happy to be considered your friends 🥰 x
Midwest Magic Cleaning brought you another new subscriber. :)
Same here!
Great job! I love your videos, your voice over, your tone is perfect and your accent charming. Please, just be you! Don't change because of "input". You two are amazing.
Grease?? That was grease??? I thought someone melted a candle on the oven!! She's lucky she never had a grease fire. Yet another awesome cleaning job!
People get over whelmed for so many reasons! Help without judgement is amazing for people who are struggling! 🌺
@midwestcleaning sent me to this channel. I admire what you do. I'm disabled and neurodivergent. I have learned so much about my own disorders. Thank you for your compassion and empathy for the people you help. I wish I was physically able to help. You are appreciated by people you don't know. 💖✨
The place looks so much better. The fact that you both care enough to come and help people is the most important thing. Please do not underestimate the power this has. You are good cleaners and good people too. Thanks from Canada.
The kitchen looked so bright and sunny when you were done! Well done, ladies! Can you put together an Amazon wish list of cleaning supplies? I'm thinking your subscribers will be willing to help you out on that a bit. If you have dollar stores in your area, I've found that many of the dollar store cleaning supplies do as good a job as the pricier stuff, including their brooms, buckets and mops. I've done a few clean-outs myself, so I know it's very hard work. I'm also not a spider lover, but have found that the gloves give me the courage to go in places and do jobs that I would've never thought I could. Please don't allow the critics to erode your confidence on these jobs. You are doing a wonderful thing by cleaning for free for those that need the help, and the microscopic scrutiny of your methods is unjust in my opinion. Is it better to have a dirty dish, or a clean dish that has gone un-rinsed? How many angels can dance on the head of a pin, and all that...
Thank you for the suggestion, we have now added a wishlist to the description of all our videos, please don't feel like that means you have to buy anything though! Engaging with our content is suppprt enough ❤ x
... Mac, Bonnie and Barbie sent me👍🏼 Best wishes for a successful journey ❤❤
I'm not surprised that you get the recycle question. Other cleaners have commented on the question as well. I don't think that people get the full scope of just how hard this task is . Someone is always feeling superior I guess. Keep up the great work.
Came here from Midwest Magic Cleaning. Wonderful job you all do, God bless
Great job ladies. I also came from Bonnie, Mac and Barbie.
You all do a great service for your communities.
Your video is great 👍
Hi there! Mack from Midwest Magic cleaning recommended you! Love what you do and how much you help people who need it so much! Thank you! ❤
Yay! 🎉I’m so glad Mack & Bonnie reached out to you both. It’s lovely to see the beautiful, important work you do! Thank you for all you do! ❤
I found you very early on but I am so glad Mac, Bonnie and Barbie have given you shout outs! Hopefully your sub count will get a huge booster from it. Don't sweat the things you can't do lassies it's the things you CAN do that count. Sterling job you did and that Fatsicle on the oven...Wow never seen that before! Well done to you all :)
Howdy! I'm here from Midwest Magic Cleaning. Mack told us about y'all.
I'd like to see longer shots or a longer pause of the entire room/area prior to y'all starting cleaning. Same at the end - longer pause to take in what it looked like before and what it looks like afterward. I also would like to see "wider" shots of y'all cleaning. I know sometimes it's hard - like when the bathroom is small - but it gives a better sense of how much y'all are doing and tackling.
I'd mentioned on your other video that I like voice overs! I like your tone and cadence. It is calming.
I also appreciate your emphasis on "progress not perfection" because it gives folks who may struggle with cleaning/keeping house an attainable example of what their home could look like. Progress is important, not perfection! Sending y'all love and good will from Texas!
Barbie gave you a shout today .Great job guys .
You ladies do a fabulous job! Rather than a professional cleaning service, it has the feeling of friends coming in to lend a helping hand. It's heartwarming and lovely. Your channel has a fresh and different feel to it - don't listen to the critics! Love the motto - *progress not perfection!* Watching the magic from Syracuse, New York USA. 💖
Found you via the collab with Mack and Bonnie! Love what you’re doing!
Also sent by Mack, and very happy to see a very sad person being helped. As you say there are not a lot of people out there doing this kind of thing and its so satisfying to watch. Keep up the good work if you can, we all really appreciate it 👍❤️
I'm not surprised that Mack and Bonnie have been so supportive. They are 2 of my 3 most fav cleaners! Remi Clog is the 3rd. I'm so happy for your success so far and looking forward to seeing that 100k plaque! I thank you with all my heart for doing what I never could! You're amazing!
We love Remi too, the way she normalises mess and explains executive dysfunction and chronic overwhelm really resonates with me and struggling with keeping on top of my own home X
Love your videos! I lived in St Andrews , Fife in the early 1970's where our 1st child was born. Would just like to say that in Great Britain (anyway when I lived there) no one I knew ever rinsed their dishes or suffered from any illnesses from not doing so!
Thank you, I'm currently a student at the University of St Andrews, beautiful town x
@@fifefreecleaning How wonderful! My husband graduated from the University ((he’s English , I’m American) and now we’re in Washington State. Let me know how I can support you!
@@fifefreecleaning one of the best universities in the UK 🇬🇧
As I watched your video, I pondered how one gets grease cycles on one’s stove. I’m on my way to completing all of your videos. I do watch Mack, but I think your videos showed up on my feed automatically, so the algorithm is working for you. Well done girls. BTW, I don’t think anyone has ever met their demise by not rinsing the dishes thoroughly.
Bonnie at A Beautiful Mess sent me. Well done you two, you are doing a fabulous job. Phew re avoiding the rubbish fines. The people who complained so quickly clearly have no patience and nothing better to do! Best wishes to the resident, I hope she's progressing with her treatment.
I don't think it really matters if the cleaning products you're using are 'the best' or what you've missed rinsing the dishes. What you're doing is helping tremendously and it's wildly better than before you started and that's all that really matters ☺️
good job ! midwest magic sent me here!!😊
I love the voice over, thanks for listening to the advice of the bigger cleaning channels!
Another thing. I’m American, but I know that in England and some other countries it is a long-established tradition to not rinse cleaned dishes in clean water. This is a tradition that goes back for generations. My research found that English kitchens were furnished with only 1 sink. So, in this sink went soap and water. Dishes were added, washed, then maybe dipped into the soapy water to remove any obvious soap suds. Then the dish was put in a draining rack or on a cloth to drain. This system has worked for them! If people were frequently getting stomach and other digestive system problems, which we Americans might expect, the process would have been changed. But, very few people have problems resulting from not rinsing dishes. Maybe people’s bodies easily adjust to accommodating the tiny bit of soap residue that remains on dishes after they drain or are hand dried with a cloth. Maybe if you have a compromised immune system, you create a process for rinsing your dishes. I’m just saying that we Americans might not have The Answer for everyone in the world. Cultures see and do things differently. Open-mindedness and appreciation of differences is generally a very good thing.
I did wonder if it was done widely in America. I've never in my life rinsed dishes after washing them (Australian) and won't start now 😅
I am not sure where you did your research but everyone I know does rinse their dishes - also please do not conflate England with the UK. Inferring people in Scotland are English is extremely offensive to most of us.
@@Rebecca.42
I totally agree with you.
I've never rinsed my dishes.
@carolannpeacock how can you read a post like that and try to turn it into something offensive? I'm English and living in Shetland and have never had a problem here. Fortunately, I suppose, it's not full of people like you.
@@talex1625 I am merely stating a fact that England is not the uk
You were recommended by Midwest Magic Cleaning channel. Love y’all.
You have done a fantastic job! Don't put yourself down over the floors. The flat looks amazing thanks to you and Danielle! I can only imagine what the owner was thinking getting this kind of help!
Bonnie from A Beautiful Mess shared your channel. Great work!!
I absolutely LOVE the sped up audio - especially when you laugh. Reminds me of Chip & Dale the 2 chipmonks on Disney. Makes me smile.
I also found your channel through Midwest Magic Cleaning. As you are just starting out, I am sure things will get easier for you as you gain more experience and hopefully in the future, you will get income from TH-cam which will help you buy supplies. The narrator said she was never trained to clean and it doesn't come naturally to her. I have a suggestion about rinsing off dishes. Once a large group of dishes have been washed and placed on the drain board, stop and rinse those dishes in very hot water and put them in a plastic/rubber draining rack to drain. Or stack them on a towel on a flat surface. If you use very hot water to rinse, the dishes will drain dry almost completely and you won't have to wipe them with a dish towel. It saves time and the dishes are more sanitary if they are rinsed in hot water and allowed to drain dry. Just a suggestion. I am enjoying your channel.
Thank you for the advice x
🕷🕷 been a cleaner for 40 years and still get jumpy when confronted with spiders. I leave them alone to do their own thing. It will seem hard at first when cleaning, but once you get into it and get experience it will become easier and you will find easier ways of doing things. Good luck, don't give up.
I laughed so hard I cried over the spider bit because the sped up voices were SO appropriate. The perfect sound effect for finding a spider!!!
You will know what to bring to the houses once you’ve done a few. I recommend a screwdriver (to tighten taps, cupboard doors, etc ) and lots and lots of rags 😅 You are doing a great job ❤🇨🇦
Hello there, Mack from Midwest Magic Cleaning sent me here. I love watching hoarding and cleaning videos. The outcome is the best. ❤
Mack at Midwest Magic Cleaning gave you a shout out today!
No need to explain yourself. I don't see any shortcomings at all.
Great videos 👍👍👍
Good job, ladies. I'm glad Midwest Magic Cleaning sent me to watch!
Thank you so much for your selfless work💗🙂
You both worked hard. Great job!
I don't understand why people don't use bug spray. Over here in Australia our spiders can be lethal so I always have a supply of bug spray to attack spiders in my home. When my neice moved out of home I gave her a can of bug spray as part of her house warming gift. She says it was the most useful gift ever.
I love your motto, “progress, not perfection”. Brilliant. Especially helpful for those with mental health or chronic illness issues.
Great video! I don’t want you to worry if things don’t turn out as perfectly as you hoped. You a going out there and helping people who are suffering and that’s what counts. Keep up the good work and be sure to take care of yourselves, too.♥️♥️♥️♥️
This moose just subscribed. ❤
Midwest Magic cleaning takes a10 minute break after 50 minutes of working, I recommend that for you, it'll help reset your mindset. Best of luck to you both, you're saints!
You're both so great! and hopefully spin kicking her life into a better direction
Shout out to Mack. You girls have done a great job for this lady.
Don’t apologize for what you didn’t do but be proud of all the work you did accomplish! That was awesome. Well done!
Midwest Magic sent me. Love what you’re doing!
Swinging by at Mac's recommendation....but hello from Newcastle upon Tyne!
Spectacular job! It’s interesting to see a different country’s way of life. I’m enjoying your content and you did a great job with the voiceover!
I am happy you get the attention this kind of work deserves!!!
At least it's not cockroaches! 😢 Midwest Magic Cleaning recommended you. Nice to have a UK channel doing this. 😊
Great job on the greasy stove. You girls are doing an excellent job for not being professional cleaners. Your hearts are in the right place and many will benefit from that. Space out your cleaning days so you donot burn out.❤❤😅😅
Mack of Midwest Magic sent me! I'm glad he did. 👍👍👍
Well done you both deserve it 👏❤🏴
Excellent, another pair of powerful women offering free cleaning 👏👏. I’m here at the recommendation of Mack from MMC, watching from Ireland. You two are doing great, don’t ever feel the need to apologise for what you do or how you do it. The fact that you are giving your time and energy to those who need it for free is more than enough. For me I really enjoy hearing the stories behind these cleanings and while you have to respect the residents’ privacy of course it does help us to understand and be more empathetic towards people who are struggling. I think that’s one of the reasons why Mack’s channel is so successful- he tells a good story and his videos are very instructive with some humour for good measure! But you find your own rhythm, as I said you’re doing great. ❤😘
Good for you for not allowing negative comments. My aunt was a hoarder, and my sister and I pretty much cleaned out her three level house on our own, during COVID. Luckily conditions were not hazardous but extremely cluttered and overwhelming. We had to go through everything. Thanks for your work.
I subscribed because Midwest Magic Cleaning suggested you!
I love Mach and Bonnie. I enjoy your Chanel as well. Thank you for helping people in need.
This was a fantastic cleanup. Those icicles of grease were truly epic. You have changed this lady's life for sure. Well done! Love the channel!
Looks exhausting, but I can understand the mental overload too, especially since you were talking with the resident at the same time as you were cleaning. I think empathy and sadness can be emotionally draining.
Amazing job . Your so kind to help people that can’t cope with everyday chores
I just keep imagining how and what they were cooking that created the grease to be oozing like that. I'm literally at a loss!😂 I have never seen anything like that in an over before.
Another one sent by Mack and Bonnie. You guys are amazing and so good hearted to help those in need.
Ladies, smashing job! Well done. Again, sent by Mack and Bonnie. I use Dawn, both the dishwashing detergent and their power wash. I dont know if you can get it in the UK. That was the greasiest cooker ever😮.
We don't get it in the UK but fairy dish soap is the equivalent I think x
A man with a van! Love that ❤
@11:21 hey, look, more dishes 😂
Mack from midwest magic gave you a shout out. I am now am subscriber and loving your channel.
Here from Midwest Magic Cleaning. He highly recommended you, and I see why. ♥
Love what you do!!! Yes Mac Bonnie and Barbie did a shout out for you guys!! Great job!!!
I laughed out loud when I saw your feet shuffling along on top of the cloths you laid on the floor! Looked like a funny cleaning video! (I know it's not meant to be humorous...) Inadvertently you made my day as I badly needed a smile this morning- has been stressful here. Thank you! I appreciate knowing more about you and what you do and why. Great of you to make sure no problem occurred for the resident with the authorities regarding the recycle/trash, etc. So happy for you that the channel is picking up subscribers and people who care about such things. Can't wait to see what y'all do next! bye
I'm glad we could make you smile, I hope the rest of your day is better than your morning 😊 x
That stove cleaning was excellent 🎉
Heard of you from Midwest Magic Cleaning. I look forward to your videos and subscribed. I appreciate that you remove nasty comments. I try to remember progress in my own house as emotions etc make "dents" slowly, but each small thing does makes a difference to me.
Mack and Bonnie colab sent me here. Scrubby sounds are the best. You’re doing a fabulous job. Best of luck.
Sent here from recommendation by Midwest Magic Cleaning!
You ladies have done a great job! The poor lady must have been so anxious having people in her home. Thank you for helping her!😊
Looking forward to the transformation!
Midwest Magic suggested your channel! Great suggestion. You women are wonderful!!
Great job, ladies! So kind of you to help this person get a healthy living environment back and sort out the rubbish removal issues with the council. I was also pleased to hear you describe how the clean up had affected you, I think we can all benefit from a realistic depiction of what it is like to do an extreme clean.
The stove looks like it's melting, I would love to scrape that off, very satisfying. Glad no annoying music in this video, great work
Mac from Midwest cleaning sent me to you, and I am so glad he did. I love your voice. The cleaning is really good. My only suggestion would be to not apologize so much. You are doing fine for beginners. ❤
Coming at the recommendation of Mac and Bonnie. Great job ladies❤
Hey there - over here from Midwest Magic Cleaning 💞 great job!👏👏👏
Sometimes all that a person needs is a ‘reset’ to give them the motivation to maintain the cleaning & not feel overwhelmed.. Nicely done!
Learned of your channel thanks to Bonnie and Mack, thank you for your hard work making people's lives better!
Both Bonnie and Mack have given you a shout-out.
I have never seen animal fat pour out of an oven like that in my life. That was crazy. That must’ve been why the floor was so slick! Through trial and error you’ll find the products you love the most, and that you feel work the very best. Good luck with the channel. Bonnie, Mack and Barbie sent me. I’m going to subscribe too!
Coming over from Midwest Magic Cleaning and Beautiful Mess. You're doing great !
great cleaning girls!
I find the early days of people like you very interesting. Not having the right equipment and having to be creative makes everything a lot more interesting. The same goes for the story about washing up.
