- This week, Mark meets single mum of two, Julie. Her three bedroom house is so overrun with childhood mementos and clothes from charity shops, that her youngest daughter is embarrassed to have her friends come round! In another part of the UK, Cheyza travels to Oxfordshire to meet Amanda, 39, who worships nature so much that she wants the outdoors to come indoors. Her love of nature extends to spiders and she purposely does not dust away the cobwebs from her cluttered two bedroom house.
Half a million of Brits change our bed linen just three times a year. Yet there is a group of Britons who wage a constant war on dirt and order. This brand new series follows Brits who - by their own admission - are so obsessed with cleaning they can't relax if there is a spot on a tap or a rain mark on the windows!

'I thought you were going to clean that for me'. What a telling statement.
That is a typical statement of a Hoarder who is obviously mentally ill and not yet ready for the change. I think she was pushed into this, would need a therapist to help her and was not yet ready to actually change. She propably was up for it until her help asked her to throw stuff away and became defensive then.
You can’t help a 🐷. She’s very lazy expecting people to clean for her. She certainly wouldn’t be the type of person I would want in my inner circle.m
The guy could be a chef Ramsey but for helping hoarders with his hilarious commentary… dude make a show it would be a hit!
I was married to a collector more than a hoarder, but now I live by myself, I enjoy having a neat, clean, clutter free home and enjoy it. I couldn't live with clutter of any kind.
"There's sentimental and just mental" 😂
He's funny
He’s SOooo funny!
“Comparing to this, I am a dream to live with. A DREAM 🤣🤣😊
"Brushing? It needs a jet washer." He's hysterical.
I feel very sorry for Cheyza who really wanted to help Amanda but she didn't let her. If that had happened to me, I would have left immediately. You don't want help pulling you out of the gutter you turned your own flat into? Well then, go ahead and enjoy the filth, mould and rubbish! Bye!
I wish Cheyza had gotten to work with someone nice and appreciative of her hard work, the lady she was with just wanted a free cleaner and was horrible
They should bring this back it's a good idea all round.
This program motives me to clean. 😁
The programme stopped because some of the OCD people became much more mentally ill afterwards. The D of OCD was downplayed in this series.
The body builder guy was hilarious
I initially felt that the muscle man was rude, dismissive and obnoxious to that poor lady. He just blunders in wanting to bin all of this lady's personal belongings (sentimental to her or not), just to get the job done and feel he's made an impact, when in reality the hoarder would be left feeling empty and would work harder to replace all the mess... I like that eventually in the show, everyone gets a chance to talk and understand eachother better which helps them to see the reasoning behind why they each are the way they are🙂
I like the fact he was bothered by his own curtains not being straight at the start of the show, but isn't bothered by the nasty crack on the wall behind them.
@@AlexM-ui8me OCD is hardly rational
@@AlexM-ui8me seems like it's more about things you have to maintain and keep control over. If you focus on the wall and fill the crack, you only get satisfaction from filling it once. But he gets satisfaction from shaving his body hair every time it grows, and sorting that curtain out every time someone touches it 🤔
This reminds me of when I cleared out the majority of my cuddly toys. I forgot I had a lot of them. I still have a couple that are sentimental (a rag doll I had since birth, a teddy my grandma used to have etc) but it's a couple. The rest went to a charity shop and the shop was grateful for them. Plus my rag doll, Jemima, has had many a visit to the washing machine!
I feel sorry for the lady that was helping in Oxford . I would have gave up before she did
Both OCD cleaners were so brave. Breathing in those awful smells and germs everywhere is truly hard for a OCD person. The OCD people are really trying to get better and they think these germs are harmful so them going into dirty homes and getting their hands dirty shows they really want to help and challenge their OCD. I always trying to avoid germs and always washing my hands and my brain never shuts off so I relate a bit. The bodybuilder does go to a dirty gym but he's probably been doing for so long that he knows his body can fight off those viruses, I also go to the gym but avoid touching my face and wash when I get home. I know I get my car seat dirty but I feel its OK as I'm challenging the germs and not fully trying to avoid them but will always make sure I'm fully clean when I'm home. Will hoover my car more than average because hate seeing dirt on the floor. When I'm cleaning at home and my arm touches the mop bucket or anything with high germs I freak out in my mind and try to remember not to touch my arm and would think about having a shower or try carry on as that will make me more normal like everyone else. I know germs are good for immune system but I just like being clean. I still with my parents and my sister has dogs and I have a massive go at her everyday because of dogs on sofa or paw prints. I hate clutter too. I hoover everyday and mop if the floor is dirty which is pretty much every day. I do need more hobbies. I'm not diagnosed with OCD but do have autism. Because I've been going to the gym for 5 years I'm OK with the gyms. Being strong is more important than locking myself in a room. Animals in the house is really annoying and when I move out I would only have 1 dog but wouldn't be aloud beyond the kitchen. I always wash my hands after stroking a dog and change my jumper if the dog touches it.
I Completely understand OCD. I have suffered with OCD for 5 years now.
I don't have a clean OCD, I have Rituals and OCD Routines I live by. Thing's I have to do everyday.
I have to check my Front Door is Locked and Secure 500 times. I have to check my Windows 50 times. I have to make sure, everything is off safe and secure. And not doing isn't an option. Thats not how OCD works. There is no not doing it. My braim doesn't give me that option. And if I dont do my Routines, I'll have a big panic and anxiety attacks.
Unless you have OCD you have no idea what its like, to be trapped in your own brain.
All of my Dvd's and CDs Books and Games are all in alphabetical order. If they're not in order, for me, thats chaos
the gf watching mark fuss over the curtains was so funny, you could tell shes thinking what have i got myself into 😆😂
"Why can't i keep it? The more they want me to toss it, the more i want to keep it". Mentality of a 6 year old.
The look she gave him when he said: "think of it as a cardio work out" lol! 27.28
I love how everyone learned something from the experience and mark is just teaching his partner how tidy the curtains better 😂
Did you notice the big crack in the wall behind the curtains though 🤣
"He"s never done that before" (the cat pooing on the carpet)... it's quite probable he has, she doesn't notice and it dries up and gets kicked in to a corner, or stood on and traipsed around without her or partner ever noticing- because they probably never clean shoes (and soles) either.
Probably she and partner have very poor senses of smell - because they couldn't smell/weren't bothered by the massive amounts of dust and mould.
Why ask for help then be obnoxious!
"did you ever think that the reason there might be 100 spiders is that youre actually cultivatin' em." Best pro advice without judgment I've ever heard from cleaning helper.
7mins in and i already feel so bad for this lady having this guy wonder through her home pointing out everything he doesn't like and making his opinions known and they're probably just the less offensive ones! 😕
I know he has to make points and whatnot, being honest IS the right way but at the same time, yea anyway...
Sending someone that has an obsessive compulsive disorder with cleaning as the only tool without any background with being sensitive to a person's psychological needs, could be a disaster! There's a reason why the place is this way and helping to work through that is important, too. 😊
Maybe he could throw in a posistive comment here and there i mean her house is being shown to millions of people, not just him. I think she's brave, i know i couldn't do that!! 😮😮😊
Mark did a brilliant job. I feel like it’s a lot harder for females who have icd to get through to clients but mark is very blunt and to the point he won’t let you keep it. Very good job 👍
I wonder how people find so much time to clean...i dont dislike cleaning per se, but i feel like its quite exhausting to deal with it in addition to work/school, hobbies and potentially children or pets...i have no idea how they do it....
seeing your place is in chaos thats the time for cleaning plus this people is not normal so its more exaggerated when it comes to them
I work full time and have a child (I had 2 but my youngest died, which triggered my mysophobia/ocd) I also have a severe chronic pain condition and terminal illness requiring 32 meds a day. I absolutely cannot settle unless I clean 4-6 hours a day on top of all that. I spend over £200 a week just on cleaning products. Unfortunately when your demons are strong enough, you sacrifice self care such as sleep and rest to make sure it’s done. I scrub my floors daily and wash my bedding daily, i hot wash all towels after each use and scrub my entire bathroom after every use. Even just hand washing. It’s exhausting and sometimes I will literally cry in pain on my knees doing the floors etc but I cannot stop. However I can go on holiday etc (which we do often) and go away 3 out of 4 weekends and while I take wipes etc I do feel comfortable (as long as it’s a highly rated and reviewed hotel or lodge etc) and I can visit others. It’s specific to my own home and hygiene really. Exhausting is an understatement, but we don’t often have a choice and the mental torture of not doing it far outweighs any other negative side effects of doing it. I’m on 3 long term high dose opioids, and my chronic pain is bad anyway, whilst they do help me live a better life than the almost bedbound one I spent time in before, they unfortunately also increase my ability to clean. It’s a very vicious circle but considering I’ve hospitalised myself after injury following cleaning after major surgery and used to spend 10 hours doing this, I feel I’ve come a long way to get where I am in terms of progress already and as long as that progress is in the right direction then that’s what matters
@@lauracoates8026You've been through an awful lot Laura. Thanks for sharing, your comment has helped me understand compulsive cleaning more than I did. Sending you love and strength 💜
I work 12h shifts in a hospital for 48hours a week and still find time to clean our 2 bedroom flat for 2-3hours a day. On the weekends I spend almost the entire day cleaning. It actually scares most of our visitors. One time our friend was visiting and she said ''I can eat off your toilet and drink the water from it and that's not normal. You have OCD and you need some professional help.'' I'm not germofobic just to be clear, I just like everything being clean in order and I can't invite anyone unless I'm 100% sure that every single corner of our flat is spotless even though none will actually look at every single of those corners. And watching these kind of shows boosts my energy and I feel glad to see someone helping people to live in dust-free, germ-free and overall healthier environment after all.
how did that woman live with that black mold for so long without getting sick….i had a physical reaction when i saw that 🤢
I'm glad I'm in the middle of the spectrum! I don't like a dirty kitchen, and washing up goes straight into the dish washer. And I am always on top of laundry and keeping the fridge clean of gone off food. But I'm also a bit lazy when it comes to sweeping or hoovering, and only deep clean my bathroom when it's getting a bit too grim (like once a month). Even then I don't like clutter in my bathroom, so it's easy to clean for the most part!
Omg the mold. That can’t be healthy.😢
Most houses in Uk has mold.
So cathartic
The 2 made an amazing job. 👍🏻
Comment on others' comments:
If it's supposed to be so easy for the 'hoarders' to just get off their behinds, get rid of things and start cleaning - shouldn't it be just as easy for the 'OCD:ers' to relax and stop cleaning and adjusting things when they look okay, but not perfect?
There's so much more behind these behaviours than laziness or germophobia.
"no but I plan to" girl you can purchase it another time then
Thank you so much for your video.
Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful video thanks a lot for uploading such a motivational video
Cheyza was so lovely! Muscle man was horrible, you can’t shame people into change and the lady was right in saying they’re of the same cloth. there should’ve been more education about OCD and hoarding instead of glorifying the one and demonising the other
can mark have his own tv show lmfao hes hilarious
I used to be OCD with cleaning years ago, it started when my Anxiety Disorder started when we had Meningitis outbreak at college. It took years to get it under control but when COVID pandemic started my OCD in cleaning came back. Now I'm cleaning the house once a week. I still suffer from Anxiety Disorder all these years on, it's not easy.
I love Mark😂🤪🤗💕
Honestly Julie reminds me of myself a bit. I'm not a hoarder by any means, I keep my bedroom as clean as I can (I don't have my own place, I'm the same age as Julie's daughter) and I recently got over a fear of vacuum cleaners. But I own similar items to Julie (Loads of dolls, plushies and ceramics) and after recently repainting my room I binned a lot of stuff that I realised I'd been clinging onto for a LONG time that was just taking up space. I go nuts if an item of my collections goes missing, I even collected my acrylic nails after taking them off just to hold onto them. I hope when I have my own place I never reach a state of so much clutter. I can see myself just getting more shelves and storage to keep my items on display but at the same time I hope I'd be able to recognise when I can get rid of something and not miss it.
Chaiser is gorgeous
Bleach does not kill mould but white vinegar and bi carb soda does
You can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped sweetheart. Until she learns she has a problem she will be the problem
I have one small suitcase of my childhood which will be cremated with me when I kick the boot , its kinda like my hord for the afterlife lol that's all I have from my youth other than that it all goes . I saved only the basic for my kids what they do with it after is up to them . One trunk chest for both . As much as it hurts its worth discarding instead of over stimulation of frustration overwhelming senses of clutter and self disdain .
I think Mark needs to be more concerned about that big crack above his curtains
True, but Linda is correct about the stainless steel and Haley makes no sense about Germs on the surface of steel, which doesn't thrive. Linda was being bullied, and she is the only one that made sense. Linda has been cleaning longer than Haley has been alive.
My sons need to hang out with Mark .
Julie is not a hoarder, she was Just a Little stuck. Good for her!
I DO NOT LIKE CLEANING. But I can't stand a dirty house so I clean.
The basic premise of the show is great, but it's rather disappointing that there isn't a mental healthcare professional to oversee. They would've been able to really mediate and guide. There is no true education of these conditions and how to navigate them. There's a lot of pathological demand avoidance, morality and worth wrongly assigned to these mental health conditions.
Julie your place looks lovely but I would have come over for a culpa before or after if you invited me mark while a good cleaner is very arrogant and insulting and NO he wouldn't be a dream to live with love from Australia xoxo
20:05 lmao
I thought muscle man should have left the personnel comments out of it!! It wasnt nice!!
Hilarious how the show fails to acknowledge that the 'cleaners' have serious mental health problems and need help much more than the people with the dirty houses.
Fr! OCD is so distressing. It’s a debilitating mental disorder. I suffer from it too and I don’t like how it’s kind of normalized here, if not praised and admired.
Yeah, what the hell? What's the point of humiliating other people for something that probably is related to mental health conditions while glorifying OCD? (P.S.: I have OCD myself.)
You must like living in filth yourself.
"Washing and cleaning is a bit of a chore for me."
Not a bit. It is absolutely a chore and chores requiring doing, 100%
Cracked wall yet fussing with curtains
Grown people with cuddly toys … creeps me out
It's good to be clean etc, but to be obsessed about it, life gets a bit difficult.
And I feel sorry for the 15 years old girl.
Mental illness doesn’t discriminate unfortunately. We don’t choose to be this way
There always seems to be an element of pure laziness with most hoarders.
Mould.
easily avoidable ... open the windows ... no need to seal your home up ...
Contacting with bleach can be a huge problem
Oh well.
❤❤
Have they ever heard of a power washer? Seriously that would’ve taken 2 hours at that pool
Next episode hoarders hoards an ocd persons house🤣
Thanks to Linda and the team but we won't be donating today thank you 😂😂😂😂
And being to clean can cause serious issues to especially if your using chemicals non stop to clean 🤣🤣
I couldn’t leave the steering wheel like that 😂 it needs to be straight when I leave the car
Im surprisded all the ocd people have carpet in there house if they knew anything about germs they would never have carpet and would have plastic on there couches pillows ect.
I wonder what we did before the invention of bleach.
Can we get an amen for UV lights and ozone .
Why don't they open a window
OCD is different from OCDP. My disorder, is not a brand name for someone profiting off of dangerous, and incorrect stereotypes. IF YOU LIKE DOING IT IS IS NOT OCD, OCD EGODYSTONIC, OCPD IS EGOSYNTONIC. Egodystonic means it doesn’t align with your morals, you’re cleaning as a compulsion to stop either an obsessive thought, or ritual. For example “if I don’t clean this, my mom will die of cancer so I HAVE to” vs egosyntonic means it does align with your morals, for example “if I don’t clean this I can’t touch it because it doesn’t meet my standards” for anyone who doesn’t believe this is harmful, just know that most people don’t get diagnosed for an average of 17 YEARS after their onset because of these stereotypes. OCD IS NOT AN ADJECTIVE IT IS A DEBILITATING DISORDER.
He looks like the rock
Probably uses the same steroids
G watched a few of these episodes in a row now, I realised that the men are very judgemental compared to the women when they come in to help. Labelling people things like lazy, mental, saying judgemental things like "what do you do all day?", while the women tend to be more empathetic and ask questions about the situation and how it came to this. At the end of the day both get the job done, just with a much different experience and much, much more shaming on the one side.
WHY SHOW THE DOG 💩
@KeriBerry420 my thoughts exactly... they just want to add a bit of drama...
Joe Rogan looks different here
Hes stopped being all about DMT and now hes mr clean.
The bodybuilder guy is so rude and disrespectful...
...to a woman who let her child live in a house with dog sh!t and mould...
He is just honest, and he is doing a lot work cleaning her house and hauling all that stuff to the skip. The house is a health hazard
No he’s not !
I think he's terrified of being likened or just even compared to her, so he has to emphasize the difference/distance between them..
I bet the steroids have aided the rude and disrespectful behaviour.
Mark has T.O.C
not the top gun taaape
if your friends wont come round to your house as it is.,.. they are not proper friends
What if your house is a health hazard? ....I think if you have friends that won't clean, it's fair to ask them to either come round to your house, or meet them elsewhere
Hiya! I'd like to give my opinion on this as someone with a family member who's a hoarder. She would use cups as a bathroom and toss it out the window (I'm pretty sure those cups are still in her room years later), she has very mouldy dishes in her room, under her bed and behind furniture. She also has a rabbit and a cat which leads to further mess. She uses paint in communal mugs (she likes art) despite being offered containers for the paint and there are knives in her room, either on her desk in on the floor hidden under muck. In my opinion, her bedroom is a health hazard. She has many sharp objects and ceramics around her room and on the floor, it even got to the point she had rotting meat on her bedroom floor that I caught our dogs eating and I almost threw up from the smell.
Now imagine that but an entire house. it is a hazard and not safe nor appropriate to bring people into such a space. Rotting meat (which would also cause maggots), blades on floors, food mould, likely animal feces, etc. Imagine being given a cup of tea and realising their is paint caked to the bottom of the mug you just drank out of. It is one thing to have a cluttered house, it is one entirely seperate thing to have an unsafe, biohazard of a house and it is horrible and in poor taste to knowingly bring people into a place that could very easily make people sick. Both in the sense that they could become sick from the terms and in the sense that it could make any person without a strong stomach vomit. Clutter, fine. Biohazards, absolutely not.
Any friend who brings you into a space that could make you sick is not a proper friend.
These people need medication 💊
The redhead needs to find God&Jesus before anything will ever work out for her.🙏😔
I feel sorry for the lady, the one’s obsessed with cleaning are always rude and up themselves.. you continuously clean a new build property get over yourself.
