Yup, maybe the bleach is worse than a reasonable amount of germs. Let's hope they do not develop cancer or another illness for such a huge load of toxins they are immersed every day.
The first mother is so incredibly invasive on her family members. Imagine being out of your room and your mother just picks up your stuff and treats it as rubbish to throw away. This child will get a severe issue out of this if she doesn't stop disrespecting her child's sphere.
@@adamglltt89 It could cause them to have less attachment to things but it could also cause them to become a hoarder later in life because they had no choice and couldn't keep the things they wanted to as a child.
She stated that she puts them in a bag in the garage for two weeks to see if her daughter misses it before throwing it out. Seems rational to me, a great way to keep on top of the never ending toys kids receive from friends and family.
My mates dad used to always do this... he went away to college and when he got home, his dad had cleared everything out of his bedroom except a small pile of crusty socks that were under his bed. His dad turned to him and said "that's cleared for painting now, and please... for the love of God... use a tissue like everyone else".
Tim’s not in denial, it’s just got to bad for him to cope with. He’s also working and is depressed with looking at it, it’s starts with getting rid of stuff
I was thinking the same thing with the child's toys, my fiancé's mom would do the same thing and just throw his toys out when he was young, when he got older she'd throw out his books, clothes, school supplies, important paperwork just because she thought he wasn't using them. Gave him a weird sense of personal space and self doubt in a lot of different aspects of his life that he's getting help for now but not allowing people autonomy over their items and self is really destructive.
It is so disrespectful to not only go through someones things, but to have the nerve to get rid of them! And yeah, her husband sounded like he had one foot out the door... She also really grossed me out w/some of the things she did, like licking the floor, and she would touch her face and hair while she was wearing the dirty gloves on her hands. So gross!
Interestingly I’ve noticed in a couple of the episodes of this and some other shows that the “hoarders” or “messy people” have parents who are relentless clean. I also had a mum who cleans RELENTLESSLY and I struggle with throwing things away etc and cleaning. 1) because she would always do it for me so I don’t know how to and 2) because I see it as some form of rebellion? Or perhaps it brings me comfort to keep the mess and clutter. Note: I am no way as bad as any of these people but watching this show actually helps me in remembering how to do it all and what happens if I don’t stay on top of it lol
She 100% is going to make her daughter a hoarder because her daughter will have an unhealthy attachment to belongings when she is older because of this. I know my daughter has way too many teddies but I encourage and ask her to consider donating so that when she does, she gets positive words and feels she is actually in control so hopefully, she will see when she is older, you don't need to have 1000s of possessions.
Bless Tim. He’s a sweetheart. Louise is being really kind with him. And Tim’s daughter Lisa is so lovely. Love her comments on his home. Ps the dining table set up with the cups and little cake stand was so sweet! 😢💗
Omg taking that child’s teddies away is creating a massive hoarder for the future! My toys disappeared as a child and it made me a hoarder, I can see the future clear as a day!
My mum's both obsessed with order and cleaning and a hoarder...I've been like mum could've kept like 1 or 2 teddies after talking to us instead of keeping them all!! It's worse if they keep all the toys. She says she keeps them in the garage to see if she misses them before donating so tbh I don't think that's bad. I think it's bad like my friends mum where she would just go through their draws even as adults and throw mostly everything away.
I never realized that this could be one of the reasons for my hoarder problems. I would go to my mom for the week en the weekend I would have stuff missing in my dads house. My stepmom used to go trough my stuff and donate my stuff to her home country. Donating things is good but you don’t give stuff away that isn’t yours without permission
I think we can learn something here. There’s a happy middle ground. I don’t want to inhale 2.5l of bleach a day nor do I want more bacteria in the kitchen than in the toilet. OCD is a mental condition. If the UK wasn’t so crap at dealing with mental health problems perhaps these people wouldn’t have to treat themselves with cleaning.
Mental health condition is the real illness. I do not know, how in the UK is the mental health care of system is working. Our country it works quite well, but it is changeable in different areas. I was read of article : In the kitchen are more of bacteria, than in the toilet. I think it was average clean home, where the tests was .
I love that at 27:30 they really sat down and properly met each other. They got past the BS and Victoria started to really hear her out and understand where the lack of motivation comes from. Depression is hard.
It's of course alright to have some keep sakes and cherish memories of the good times. However I doubt it's good for Tim's mental health to keep his house as a "shrine" for a person who's no longer in his life. So I can understand that it must have been a difficult process to start, Tim needed to throw some things away. If nothing else as a way to start to move on with his life and make the house into HIS home.
I've lived with people who are OCD and the amount of anxiety it created in myself was awful... I would never want to raise a child on either end of the spectrum, it's cruel.
Yeah i bet it is , she keeps a lovely clean home fair , but she must never rest i think her husband was being very polite saying she was a nightmare , imagine the stench of using 2 litres of bleach every day , not to mention what that is doing to the poor cat who has a much more sensitive nose than her , i hope for everyone else sake she does the majority of it alone when no1 else is home..
I’ve left this comment on many of these videos but just doing it on here again, this program is FANTASTIC!!! This approach is SO POSITIVE!!!! Having two people that struggle with the same issue - cleaning - yet on two extreme sides from each other, is a really fantastic approach to therapy! So many of these people are able to learn from each other. It’s really a fantastic approach, I know these episodes are years old but gosh they need to come back!!! We need this approach in more places ❤
That is so nice of you... It's really so kind of you clean someone elses filth even if you get paid.. You are making the world a better place to live... May God bless you
Ok, stealing your 4 year old daughter's teddy bears "because she didn't notice" is straight up abuse. You wanna know why she didn't notice? She's 4. What she will have instead is a lack of ability to own anything, because there's no point because things just keep disappearing. From personal experience, that's an awful fucking thing to do to a child.
It is. I have people very close to me whose parents used to do that, and now they're crippled by the idea of buying anything that's not immediately utilitarian because they have a deep-seated belief that the object will just disappear, because their parents threw everything they ever loved away. Children do not have the concept of object permanence (look it up); that takes years to develop, and key to the whole process is having reliable, familiar, and constant surroundings, most helpfully, with an object(s) that have emotional grounding; for instance, a favoured teddy bear. Teddies especially have an important role to play, because they are comfort objects. Children anthropomorphize them, "befriend" them, and often keep them well into adulthood. I don't know a single adult friend who hasn't kept their childhood comfort objects, because it has such strong emotional relevance. Not allowing a child to develop that "because it was dirty" is literally disgusting behaviour, not to mention the peak of selfishness. If you're not prepared to be at least a little bit selfless, you have no business becoming a parent.
I mean... Everyone I know had a teddy bear of another plushie when they were younger. You don't throw these memories away. For me it's really abusive and I could never steal my kid's toys... It's just unbelievable.
I think part of Tims problem is that he probably never learned how to run a household and clean and since the separation he is completely overwhelmed. 😕
I think it is rather a psychological issue most likely initiated by his divorce. He is a cleaner, he knows how it goes, but when one is depressed, one just comes home and goes to bed (either to sleep or day dreaming). And after a while one has piles and piles of things and it is too much and then it does indeed get overwhelming and one doesn't know where to start.
Not to discourage anyone trying to do this, but as a professional home cleaner for 7 years, both normal weekly costumers and deep cleaning for moving house, I can absolutely guarantee that two people couldn’t possibly get this done in 4 work days :P Clutter removal plus bathroom and kitchen with grime that bad, no chance :P Just fixing the wall tiles in such a bathroom is at least 4-6 hours if you want it like new, which is what we see in the after images. I have worked in bathrooms with just ”normal” grime that took me almost a full day to get done. And then all the vacuuming, dusting all the trim :P Realistically for two people you’re probably looking at 100+ work hours for a project like this.
It really doesn't take that long, you must be a very slow cleaner cos if your both putting in 8 hr days .. you could easily do that in 4 days if you really went for it and put in alot of effort 👌 Edit : that's 64 hrs combined for 2 cleaners, 8 hrs a day for 4 days
The reddish mildew in the bathrooms is a mould that only grows on decaying human bodies. It’s called corpse mould. The skin we naturally shed/scrub off collects in the moist environment of the bathroom and the mould takes hold and begins to grow.
I’ve been trying to go more plant based cleaning products but they don’t smell like bleach and since I’ve been pregnant I’ve been terrified of germs and love the smell of bleach in my house I have 2 toddlers and constantly make myself tired because of cleaning I’ve never had this problem before so I think it has something to do with being pregnant idk nesting but it’s getting so bad my husband is saying to stop with the bleach but plant based doesn’t smell as clean as bleach does hopefully when the baby is born I can relax a bit because I was never like this before scares me how much I’m doing and probably making my kids and husband a bit crazy especially since I spray him with Lysol when he gets home
ikr. sometimes bleach may be needed if its extremely dirty, but more eco products that will break down soon in nature are better, even just vinegar is fine. if i want to do "deep" cleanse i use plant based sponge and more eco dish soap. seems to work fine. i still need that clean smell but luckily they usually have a mild lemony scent or such.
Victoria did such a good job of Leslie's flat - I nearly cried 😄 Leslie seems so lovely- I hope she manages to maintain it. I cant believe Victoria is 75 - it goes to show how keeping active and busy keeps you young!
These are my cleaning Motivation, because of my Depression I‘ve let things go a bit. No where near as the shown homes.. But still, i know i deserve a clean, cosy, nice home. I‘ve been decluttering and cleaning something daily since watching these. Cannot do the whole flat on one day Bc i work 60h/week, but slowly getting back to normal :) it feels really good!
@@damenwalker5260 actually I did, I even painted the walls fresh and stuff. But I also found a great therapist and found out I have borderline disorder. So now that I have the right medication and therapy everything is much easier for me :)
I'm always amazed by the clean obsessed people having cats. It walks through a litter box with its own feces & then walks on their pillows, etc. I'll never understand.
Honestly, I love this show! I have a messy mom and spend a life trying to prove that I am not messy... I love to clean and organize. YET, I know it's not easy and most people are not messy because they do not care, sometimes they just need help, emotionally or physically.
I am so amazed by their cleaning regime except for the old lady who shove down her hand underneath the toilet, her glove’s length isn’t even enough, I see water splashes on her arm and sleeve 🤢
As a cleaner, and I've cleaned prisons, nightclubs and bars. Sometimes the toilet brush just won't bet everything off. Although those gloves we're too short. I would wear protective clothing
xD same! That’s the music that was playing in my mind when I moved into my dorm the first time😂😂😂 not bc it was dirty but bc it looked like a prison cell
Sometimes I wonder is this just for TV, like do they want to look their best by having a full outfit on including a clean pair of shoes. Or maybe theyre indoor only shoes
Both extremes give me anxiety. However my pet hate will always be if someone leaves manky soggy food in the kitchen sink after doing the dishes. It literally takes two seconds to clear it out into the bin.
What really matters is health, mental or physical. It’s good that no one got severe bacterial infections or bad reactions to mold, on the other hand those germophobe guys could develop severe allergies and bad lungs due to smelling so strong chemicals daily. We saw more or less physically healthy people with mental problems, but there are also ones whose mental issues led to big big troubles with physical health. And then it doesn’t matter a hoarder or obsessive cleaner - bad health is bad health
The 75 year old woman was really rude. I’m sure she doesn’t know the homeowner’s medical history, but she just kept pecking at her head. I’m afraid I’d have shown her the door…..or locked her in the dirtiest room!🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was good during the one scene they sat down and really got to know one another but yeah before that she was being really blunt and really was being a bit of a bossy bitch LOL. Louise is sweet (she is, aside from taking the teddies and aside from the beginning scene where she was being ‘quite a nightmare’), she was so kind to Tim the whole time she was there…and she was so patient with him. She’s beautiful too
Well, she was direct and blunt and...she was also right. The key is staying on top of it and doing a little bit each day and not letting it get to the point where it's so overwhelming. Leslie hasn't cleaned her place in 19 years. Think about that. Not sure how you can come up with a rationalization for that. The lady had feces on her floor while her young grandchildren are crawing around. At some point it needs to stop being about the self-pity party and more about the greater good and the risk she's subjecting people to - people she claims she loves. Sometimes we have a tendency to make excuses for everyone about everything, and sometimes they need to hear the hard, cold truth.
I love watching this show and comparing it to cleaning a school which is what I use to do for a living! I use to take my own bleech in for the smelly boys toilets. I use to love the summer holidays to do a big clean down. I use to pull the classrooms apart scrub it all down including the floors and put them back together again it was very satisfying.
I probably spend close to 40 hours a week cleaning, but with kids running around it never really seems to get clean. At least there isn't anything disgusting laying around. I think I watch shows like these make me feel that mine isn't that bad.
you are doing a great job.. as long as your kids are fed clean and healthy then it does not matter if you need extra time to get something done.. blessings from new Zealand
I feel like Tim telling her he is a cleaner should have made her realize that the reasons for his filth in his own home is a reflection of hurt or a sense of failure he has experienced in life. My immediate reaction would be to ask him why he has let things go for himself why he doesn't feel he deserves the cleanliness
Okay wtf, you just can’t take your child own plushies and sell them just because she doesn’t ”notice” them to be gone. SHE WAS FOUR! // She’s a teen now. I can just imagine her asking of her mom ”Where did my plushies always go when I was younger?”
I know Leslie (in passing) 😂 she lives at the back of me. She’s a lovely lady, it’s a shame she’s struggled so much but I’m glad she got the help she needed. It’s a shame her daughter never helped her out.

Why do they wear shoes in the house?? I don't get it.
I love watching these! I am also someone who loves cleaning. When I moved out on my own into my first flat I made the rule to only clean once a week and to change my bed sheets every two weeks otherwise I would just end up cleaning and cleaning and cleaning! Granted by the end of the week my carpets are bitty and my bookshelves have dust on them but it's a really good system for me.
It really is and Louise was my fav in this episode. I love her she’s so sweet bc she was so kind to Tim while she was helping him clean his house (okie I don’t agree with the taking the teddies and being ‘quite a nightmare’ with her regimes during the early scenes of her cleaning her house but aside from that she’s sweet)
as a british person; why do we always have these fucked up half painted walls? my house as a child was like this, patchy painted bright walls. just paint them one even colour
OCD is a serious disorder 😩😩😩😩 these people have zero chill in their blood. they are very mean towards the owners of the cluttered homes. life happens and we deal with it differently the fact that they clean to deal with their stress it doesn't mean that they are better than those who are hoarders.
Leslie is just lazy. I’m sick of hearing people use health reasons for not cleaning. Yes if you can’t walk it’s different, but Leslie was just plain lazy. That kitchen floor was beyond disgusting. No excuse for leaving stuff on the floor. To say the cooker and floor can just stay dirty says it all really. Victoria has every reason to be outraged and brutal and she’s completely right and Leslie needed to hear it.
yeah like if she can still walk there’s no reason for her to be discarding used cigarettes all over the floor…she’s just using her health issues as a reason to not clean
Watching this episode after deep cleaning my bathroom last night (thanks to being motivated from another episode haha) and I feel so much more relaxed.
How to make your child a hoarder, lesson one, take their belongings without permission. My daughter has 100+ teddies, I know that is too many, I do. I want to donate a tonne of them but I don't. Every few weeks, I do a clothes donation bag (2 kids, one is a pre teen so we go through clothes all the time), she gives up clothes so easily, she gives up old toys she is too old for, she gives up DVDs, but she will not give up the teddies, YET. I know she will in the future and even if she hasn't seen the teddy in a year, it will still be there so I know I will get her to do it healthily in the future. Taking them without the child having a choice is just plain mean. That poor husband is 99% done and it probably will end in divorce if this continues and that child will beg to judge to live with Daddy if Mummy is so absolutely anal about cleaning.
Oh my goodness, as a germophobe, watching that woman lick her finger, then use it to pick bits off the floor, then lick her finger again REALLY set me off! SO GROSS!
In Australia we'd be evicted letting the house get in that state. Inspection every 4mths, it must be clean, tidy, lawns and gardens done. How do they get away with this filth? Oww Leslie stop! Grow up! She's too much, acts like a child and obviously made Tuesday this way. I love Hayley, she's sweet.
I wish they don't that in England a lady i know has the house in such a bad way you should see her garden. 😬😬We have had lots of mice because of her house. Disgusting.....
Actually, most people with oc cleaning are very judgmental and mean. Hoarders are usually more humble, from my point of view (after watching 10 episodes in two days lol)
I find it very weird when the messy people say " oh, it bothers me it got to this stage" , well, there is a solution - clean it , it's in your power to change the way your house looks . They often behave like yes, there is a mess, but I don't know what to do about it ...its perplexing to me
I have mild OCD, although I seem to be a little worse since I’ve gotten older, but the one lady who wants her grandkids over, her house is disgusting. I will never understand how people could live like that, let alone laugh about it.
Those teddies are horrific - being 'from Harrods' doesn't change that. And on the stairs?! 🤦🏾 32:36 Nice of Daniel Craig to let them swab his van tho! 😂

Totally agree with you hahaha...
That's the reason I watch them haha
This is why I watch it, makes me do my housework lol! Xx
I can't lie, it does help me keep on top of the house work
I can't lie, it does help me keep on top of my house work 👍
Two and a half litres of bleach a day worries me nearly as much as all the filth
Yeah thats pretty bad
Lol I love my bleach so I can't say nothing 😆
Yeah its so bad for the health and the environment 🙁
Tbf I go through a lot of bleach but it’s because I swill a load in the toilet every time it’s used which is about 8-10 times aday.
Yup, maybe the bleach is worse than a reasonable amount of germs. Let's hope they do not develop cancer or another illness for such a huge load of toxins they are immersed every day.
It isn't very sanitary to lick ones finger and pick things up 🤢
She uses different fingers hehe
I'm sure her floor has no germs considering the many times she cleans
Oh my gosh that made me cringe! SO GROSS!
I found this to be a really interesting idiosyncrasy with how fastidious she is about cleanliness.
your being too rational haha :) xx
Does anyone else watch these to motivate themselves to clean or is it just me?
Me too....
Me too.
I am watching and cleaning at the same time :)))
I’m picking up tips lol

I think the clean people tend to forget that this is also supposed to be a learning experience for them as well..
Ok, stealing your 4 year old daughter's teddy bears "because she didn't notice" is straight up abuse. You wanna know why she didn't notice? She's 4. What she will have instead is a lack of ability to own anything, because there's no point because things just keep disappearing. From personal experience, that's an awful fucking thing to do to a child.
Preach
its not abuse wise up
Most definitely, its abusive and will do long term psychological damage
It is. I have people very close to me whose parents used to do that, and now they're crippled by the idea of buying anything that's not immediately utilitarian because they have a deep-seated belief that the object will just disappear, because their parents threw everything they ever loved away. Children do not have the concept of object permanence (look it up); that takes years to develop, and key to the whole process is having reliable, familiar, and constant surroundings, most helpfully, with an object(s) that have emotional grounding; for instance, a favoured teddy bear. Teddies especially have an important role to play, because they are comfort objects. Children anthropomorphize them, "befriend" them, and often keep them well into adulthood. I don't know a single adult friend who hasn't kept their childhood comfort objects, because it has such strong emotional relevance. Not allowing a child to develop that "because it was dirty" is literally disgusting behaviour, not to mention the peak of selfishness. If you're not prepared to be at least a little bit selfless, you have no business becoming a parent.
I mean... Everyone I know had a teddy bear of another plushie when they were younger. You don't throw these memories away. For me it's really abusive and I could never steal my kid's toys... It's just unbelievable.
The amount of bleach these people with OCD use would kill my lungs
Louise licking her finger and then touching the floor isn't hygienic is it?
probably is with how many times she cleans it lol
Especially since she does it repeatedly in each session!
There is probably more germs coming out her mouth than there even are on her floor! 😂
@@reneejones5675yeah lol considering her floor has basically nonexistent amount of germs bc of the amount of times she cleans
Victoria is so condescending yet extremely lovely and likeable.
There's no such thing as "a rubbish room", there is a thing called a bin instead.
Victoria looks amazing! 75?!🤩
Right? When she said 75 I was in shock!
Facts, I never thought I'd like purple eyeliner, but she is serving us tbh 👀
Totally thought she was in her 50's...good for her!
@@kamilareeder1493 Yes!💖✨
@@fgiven57 I can tell she's in her 70s, but she looks great anyway. I think her husband might be in his early 60s, though. Good for her!
It is so insane that mental health is treated so poorly and society doesn't accept it as a health problem.
I think part of Tims problem is that he probably never learned how to run a household and clean and since the separation he is completely overwhelmed. 😕
He's a cleaner by profession. Kind of negates that statement.
I think it is rather a psychological issue most likely initiated by his divorce. He is a cleaner, he knows how it goes, but when one is depressed, one just comes home and goes to bed (either to sleep or day dreaming). And after a while one has piles and piles of things and it is too much and then it does indeed get overwhelming and one doesn't know where to start.
Not to discourage anyone trying to do this, but as a professional home cleaner for 7 years, both normal weekly costumers and deep cleaning for moving house, I can absolutely guarantee that two people couldn’t possibly get this done in 4 work days :P Clutter removal plus bathroom and kitchen with grime that bad, no chance :P Just fixing the wall tiles in such a bathroom is at least 4-6 hours if you want it like new, which is what we see in the after images. I have worked in bathrooms with just ”normal” grime that took me almost a full day to get done. And then all the vacuuming, dusting all the trim :P Realistically for two people you’re probably looking at 100+ work hours for a project like this.
Definitely a team of helpers not being shown.
It really doesn't take that long, you must be a very slow cleaner cos if your both putting in 8 hr days .. you could easily do that in 4 days if you really went for it and put in alot of effort 👌
Edit : that's 64 hrs combined for 2 cleaners, 8 hrs a day for 4 days
I love it "Why are u laughing, this is disgusting" hahahahaha best ever.
The reddish mildew in the bathrooms is a mould that only grows on decaying human bodies. It’s called corpse mould. The skin we naturally shed/scrub off collects in the moist environment of the bathroom and the mould takes hold and begins to grow.
Oh my 🤮
It can also be hard water stains .... the bottom of my shower curtain goes pink of I don't wash it regularly
It depends on water, there are places where water is rich with iron everywhere gets reddish and may look like rust without any iron objects around
I love the clean peoples reactions when they see filth!! It’s so funny
Me too!!! Lol
Me too pmsl!!! As nice and polite as they try to be there face says it aw love the 1 where women goes fkn hell!! 😂😂 xxxx
they have no empathy lol
Too much chemical cleansing products are really bad for environment, use natural as much as possible.
I agree but the houses here need a shot of chemical cleansing products before they can gradually change to natural cleansing prdts.
I’ve been trying to go more plant based cleaning products but they don’t smell like bleach and since I’ve been pregnant I’ve been terrified of germs and love the smell of bleach in my house I have 2 toddlers and constantly make myself tired because of cleaning I’ve never had this problem before so I think it has something to do with being pregnant idk nesting but it’s getting so bad my husband is saying to stop with the bleach but plant based doesn’t smell as clean as bleach does hopefully when the baby is born I can relax a bit because I was never like this before scares me how much I’m doing and probably making my kids and husband a bit crazy especially since I spray him with Lysol when he gets home
ikr. sometimes bleach may be needed if its extremely dirty, but more eco products that will break down soon in nature are better, even just vinegar is fine. if i want to do "deep" cleanse i use plant based sponge and more eco dish soap. seems to work fine. i still need that clean smell but luckily they usually have a mild lemony scent or such.
When he said he was a cleaner, I nearly fell off my chair!
Granny was giving granny a hard time. Lol
Victoria did such a good job of Leslie's flat - I nearly cried 😄
Leslie seems so lovely- I hope she manages to maintain it.
I cant believe Victoria is 75 - it goes to show how keeping active and busy keeps you young!
These are my cleaning Motivation, because of my Depression I‘ve let things go a bit. No where near as the shown homes.. But still, i know i deserve a clean, cosy, nice home. I‘ve been decluttering and cleaning something daily since watching these. Cannot do the whole flat on one day Bc i work 60h/week, but slowly getting back to normal :) it feels really good!
Well done so proud lilly, one day at a time girl❤
Hope you've got your place the way you want it now, you've sure got the right attitude! :)
@@damenwalker5260 actually I did, I even painted the walls fresh and stuff. But I also found a great therapist and found out I have borderline disorder. So now that I have the right medication and therapy everything is much easier for me :)
@@morbidlyxobsessed my wife also has BPD/EUPD, I truly hope things continue on the up for you! And well done for keeping it up!!
@@damenwalker5260 thank you so much, same for you and your wife 😊
When her husband called her a "Bossy Bitch" I lost it. 😂😂😂
I thought I didn’t hear him properly loool
I thought the same, Noope He didn't say that! 😂😂
Even the cat looks squeaky clean =D
I too noticed that about her kitty cat.
It gets a bath, no doubt.
I'm always amazed by the clean obsessed people having cats. It walks through a litter box with its own feces & then walks on their pillows, etc. I'll never understand.
@@bethoneybeeyeah but Louise’s cat is sooo cute
Honestly, I love this show! I have a messy mom and spend a life trying to prove that I am not messy... I love to clean and organize. YET, I know it's not easy and most people are not messy because they do not care, sometimes they just need help, emotionally or physically.
I am so amazed by their cleaning regime except for the old lady who shove down her hand underneath the toilet, her glove’s length isn’t even enough, I see water splashes on her arm and sleeve 🤢
Agree! That part freaked me out. Especially because the water flushes out and replenishes anyway, you don't have to remove it yourself.
I really hope she isn't wearing the same gloves when she put on the shower cap 🤢🤮
Don’t they have toilet brushes in UK
@@warialdasue yes we do, no way I'd stick my hands in the bowl like that!
As a cleaner, and I've cleaned prisons, nightclubs and bars. Sometimes the toilet brush just won't bet everything off. Although those gloves we're too short. I would wear protective clothing
Find it very relaxing to watch.. and it inspires me to clean😀 !!
I just love the music they play when showing the cluttered house for the first time xD
xD same! That’s the music that was playing in my mind when I moved into my dorm the first time😂😂😂 not bc it was dirty but bc it looked like a prison cell
it is kind of contradictory that these individuals are obsessed with cleaning. However they wear shoes indoors....
I was thinking exactly the same, all the cleaning goes to waste if shoes are worn inside.
I think their shoes are very clean too , imagine the lady drains her toilet sure her shoes are sparkling clean
Sometimes I wonder is this just for TV, like do they want to look their best by having a full outfit on including a clean pair of shoes. Or maybe theyre indoor only shoes
In Tunisia we wear slippers and pyjamas to go to the supermarket 🤣
It's pretty normal for people in the UK to wear outdoor shoes inside.
Moderation is the key to most things. This is no exception.
I literally paused this episode to go and scrub my bathroom. Lol
I am not a compulsive cleaner but could never walk into that dirty house . Oh, never would I clean it for anyone !!
I swear i went to clean out my fridge earlier after watching one of these shows
All those harrods bears on the stairs would kill me!
Both extremes give me anxiety. However my pet hate will always be if someone leaves manky soggy food in the kitchen sink after doing the dishes. It literally takes two seconds to clear it out into the bin.
Same it's so gross 🤢🤮
I’m literally gagging seeing the bathroom. Dear Lord you don’t have to live like pigs I would rather be one of the obsessive ones
Well a actually pigs are clean animals. They cover in mud to chill cos they don’t sweat.
What really matters is health,
mental or physical. It’s good that no one got severe bacterial infections or bad reactions to mold, on the other hand those germophobe guys could develop severe allergies and bad lungs due to smelling so strong chemicals daily. We saw more or less physically healthy people with mental problems, but there are also ones whose mental issues led to big big troubles with physical health. And then it doesn’t matter a hoarder or obsessive cleaner - bad health is bad health
Yeah absolutely imma clean my toilet after i use it but not emptying the water to grossly dive in it 😂 😂
The 75 year old woman was really rude. I’m sure she doesn’t know the homeowner’s medical history, but she just kept pecking at her head. I’m afraid I’d have shown her the door…..or locked her in the dirtiest room!🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was good during the one scene they sat down and really got to know one another but yeah before that she was being really blunt and really was being a bit of a bossy bitch LOL. Louise is sweet (she is, aside from taking the teddies and aside from the beginning scene where she was being ‘quite a nightmare’), she was so kind to Tim the whole time she was there…and she was so patient with him. She’s beautiful too
Well, she was direct and blunt and...she was also right. The key is staying on top of it and doing a little bit each day and not letting it get to the point where it's so overwhelming. Leslie hasn't cleaned her place in 19 years. Think about that. Not sure how you can come up with a rationalization for that. The lady had feces on her floor while her young grandchildren are crawing around. At some point it needs to stop being about the self-pity party and more about the greater good and the risk she's subjecting people to - people she claims she loves. Sometimes we have a tendency to make excuses for everyone about everything, and sometimes they need to hear the hard, cold truth.
When I start getting lazy,i watch this channel.
I'm all for being clean but chucking your kids stuff without them knowing is sooo selfish.
I agree with you on that
I love watching this show and comparing it to cleaning a school which is what I use to do for a living! I use to take my own bleech in for the smelly boys toilets. I use to love the summer holidays to do a big clean down. I use to pull the classrooms apart scrub it all down including the floors and put them back together again it was very satisfying.
If I was Lesley's landlord, I'd kick her out. Seriously.
So would I, there's no excuse for the filth in her house; she should be ashamed of herself.
Stop shaming her guys she was depressed
@@Tayamiz Yeah, these days that is the excuse for being lazy and dirty. Even if you're depressed, you don't need to throw cigarettes on the floor!
@@Tayamiz She didn't seem hugely dysthymic to me. Just sayin'!
@@tangogent maybe she's recovering which is why she was ready to ask for help?
Louise keeps touching her hair and face with her gloves on whilst cleaning the bathroom... PLEASE STOP 😭 You’re triggering my OCD now 😅
Omg I noticed that too!!!!
This was a some years ago. I don't think we all realized how much we touched our hair and face pre-covod times
I thought I was the only one who saw
@@DoctorsSong people who suffer from ocd did realize that way before that
I probably spend close to 40 hours a week cleaning, but with kids running around it never really seems to get clean. At least there isn't anything disgusting laying around. I think I watch shows like these make me feel that mine isn't that bad.
you are doing a great job.. as long as your kids are fed clean and healthy then it does not matter if you need extra time to get something done.. blessings from new Zealand
@@reneejones5675 ❤
Yes
You spend 40 hours a week cleaning. I find that very sad how do you have any time for you and your kids???
@@jasminejohnstone1803 there's a 168 hrs in a week and she probably cleans most when there at school.. plenty of time to spend with kids x
I feel like Tim telling her he is a cleaner should have made her realize that the reasons for his filth in his own home is a reflection of hurt or a sense of failure he has experienced in life. My immediate reaction would be to ask him why he has let things go for himself why he doesn't feel he deserves the cleanliness
i really needed my next filth fix, love these episodes!!
I love watching videos like this, cleaning and organizing.
That Lesley woman looks so much older than 56.
There's something so sweet and bossy about Victoria 💕🌹😁
i’m 5 minutes in and Tim seems like such a sweetheart
And Louise too! She’s so kind and patient with him :)
Never watch this at 10 pm you will find yourself polishing your skirting boards with a Q tip
Lolllllll
A cleaners' house is always dirty
A mechanics' car is always broken
A plumbers house always has a leak
😂😂😂
And chefs never cook at home.
🎯 We have such sentence, that a shoemaker walks bare foot.
Okay wtf, you just can’t take your child own plushies and sell them just because she doesn’t ”notice” them to be gone. SHE WAS FOUR! // She’s a teen now. I can just imagine her asking of her mom ”Where did my plushies always go when I was younger?”
I know Leslie (in passing) 😂 she lives at the back of me. She’s a lovely lady, it’s a shame she’s struggled so much but I’m glad she got the help she needed. It’s a shame her daughter never helped her out.
Why do they wear shoes in the house?? I don't get it.
I love watching these! I am also someone who loves cleaning. When I moved out on my own into my first flat I made the rule to only clean once a week and to change my bed sheets every two weeks otherwise I would just end up cleaning and cleaning and cleaning! Granted by the end of the week my carpets are bitty and my bookshelves have dust on them but it's a really good system for me.
The people are so wonderful to help clean others homes. Then they can see how nice clean is♥️😁💐💚
It really is and Louise was my fav in this episode. I love her she’s so sweet bc she was so kind to Tim while she was helping him clean his house (okie I don’t agree with the taking the teddies and being ‘quite a nightmare’ with her regimes during the early scenes of her cleaning her house but aside from that she’s sweet)
Victoria is kind too and I like how her and Lesley sat down and really got to know each other better.
Tim works at a holiday camp as a cleaner….that made me laugh out loud! Tim, you made me laugh!
as a british person; why do we always have these fucked up half painted walls? my house as a child was like this, patchy painted bright walls. just paint them one even colour
OCD is a serious disorder 😩😩😩😩 these people have zero chill in their blood. they are very mean towards the owners of the cluttered homes. life happens and we deal with it differently the fact that they clean to deal with their stress it doesn't mean that they are better than those who are hoarders.
I watch the videos on this channel for cleaning motivation. Thank you!
All the bears on the stairs looks like clutter! Gives me anxiety!
Victoria may have a clean house but those bears on the stairs are a health hazard
B-b-but they're from HARRODS! They can't possibly be a trip or fire hazard, not if they're from a really top drawer store!
Lesley's landlord should appreciate the place getting clean. Hope these people find the happy medium of cleanliness but not obsessed with cleaning!
I get such Gillian McKeith vibes from Victoria 😂
Gillian McKeith or Dolores Umbridge
every time I watch, I'm like being hypnotized to clean😂😂
Leslie is just lazy. I’m sick of hearing people use health reasons for not cleaning. Yes if you can’t walk it’s different, but Leslie was just plain lazy. That kitchen floor was beyond disgusting. No excuse for leaving stuff on the floor. To say the cooker and floor can just stay dirty says it all really. Victoria has every reason to be outraged and brutal and she’s completely right and Leslie needed to hear it.
yeah like if she can still walk there’s no reason for her to be discarding used cigarettes all over the floor…she’s just using her health issues as a reason to not clean
Watching this episode after deep cleaning my bathroom last night (thanks to being motivated from another episode haha) and I feel so much more relaxed.
How to make your child a hoarder, lesson one, take their belongings without permission. My daughter has 100+ teddies, I know that is too many, I do. I want to donate a tonne of them but I don't. Every few weeks, I do a clothes donation bag (2 kids, one is a pre teen so we go through clothes all the time), she gives up clothes so easily, she gives up old toys she is too old for, she gives up DVDs, but she will not give up the teddies, YET. I know she will in the future and even if she hasn't seen the teddy in a year, it will still be there so I know I will get her to do it healthily in the future. Taking them without the child having a choice is just plain mean.
That poor husband is 99% done and it probably will end in divorce if this continues and that child will beg to judge to live with Daddy if Mummy is so absolutely anal about cleaning.
That mother and daughter do my head in gives me the impression it's put on
Can't stand them
They feed off each other. The mum makes her daughter sick, no doubt about it.
The daughter definitely gets it from her mum
Cleaned the kitchen again today just because of this video
Oh my goodness, as a germophobe, watching that woman lick her finger, then use it to pick bits off the floor, then lick her finger again REALLY set me off! SO GROSS!
I guess I saw she "used" a new finger every time. :D Just so you can chill a little bit down. :)
In Australia we'd be evicted letting the house get in that state. Inspection every 4mths, it must be clean, tidy, lawns and gardens done.
How do they get away with this filth?
Oww Leslie stop!
Grow up! She's too much, acts like a child and obviously made Tuesday this way. I love Hayley, she's sweet.
I wish they don't that in England a lady i know has the house in such a bad way you should see her garden. 😬😬We have had lots of mice because of her house. Disgusting.....
Wish a new law would come in xx
@@jasminejohnstone1803 Ours can be too strict though xo
Actually, most people with oc cleaning are very judgmental and mean. Hoarders are usually more humble, from my point of view (after watching 10 episodes in two days lol)
My daughter is 27and I still have all her soft toys in my loft😂
I find it very weird when the messy people say " oh, it bothers me it got to this stage" , well, there is a solution - clean it , it's in your power to change the way your house looks . They often behave like yes, there is a mess, but I don't know what to do about it ...its perplexing to me
I have mild OCD, although I seem to be a little worse since I’ve gotten older, but the one lady who wants her grandkids over, her house is disgusting. I will never understand how people could live like that, let alone laugh about it.
Those teddies are horrific - being 'from Harrods' doesn't change that. And on the stairs?! 🤦🏾
32:36 Nice of Daniel Craig to let them swab his van tho! 😂
I love Victoria ❤ She's no nonsense 😄
The hoarders worry me the most. I just want to... run for the hills and wash myself until I start bleeding
I hate the clutter of all the bears on the stairs. They are a trip hazard!
I would’ve ‘tripped’ and ‘fell’ just to prove a point to her LMAOOOOO
Yeah those harrods bears need a new spot bc on the stairs is a horrible idea
