New episodes are needed right now.
What about mental health care
@@LuckyGuu A great thought but not our area of expertise! 😁
What a wonderful daughter!
You too are amazing. Thanks Jennifer 🤩
I’m watching in 2024 and never get tired of watching
April 2024 in Australia.
I used to watch this when it was originally on TV.
Am I the only one who watches these as a motivation to clean up before I end up living like that?
Nope, same here in Lisbon Portugal
I do the same. Another great thing to watch is "Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners" where neat freaks (often diagnosed with OCD) help hoarders and filthy people clean up their mess. That is Bleach Heaven right there. Give that a try if you haven't seen it already :)
AnnaKaize That's what I've been watching the past few days. It really is great. All that bleach makes me feel at ease xD
elenaki zou. nope!
I'm doing my weekly big clean and half way through needed motivation so I ended up here .
It sure motivates me .
Houses reflect mental health, I know from experience.
Agreed. That house spoke of depression.
So what's a clean house mean and what does a dirty house mean?
Right. She looks unhappy.
I strongly agree
Let's not forget those with extreme physical pain as a normal daily thing
Is anyone here in 2021? I absolutely love this show and it does make me want to clear my apartment out. It's sad how much junk a person can hold on ? And yes I changed the date to 2021 in case someone wants to comment 😊
Yep, me. Just getting some motivation to tackle my own house.
Me! I love these two ladies!
Haha i actually watched a few episodes before bed had a nightmare my mother in law put all her thing in my home. I woke up crying. I couldnt inagine loosing control of my home
☝️😂
does anyone else think it's hilarious all the christian jokes going on?
I really love her sentence 'we come here not to judge but we come here to help'
Well, they mocked the rotten bananas in the shrubbery -- that's a perfectly legit compost item.
Me too, where she says none would live in this house unless they're thrown in.
they *are* there to judge that's what pays their salaries
This was the episode that got me hooked; one of the first I saw . . .I also think they could have emphasized that if room is left (in the fridge,) you can move things around to clean. 'Why decluttering is so important . . .
@Debra Meyers Judgement doesn't change anything, Enabling is pretending they dont have a problem, and that's not the case.
Melinda: "I can't quite believe how that worked"
Kim: "It's called cleaning dear" =D
lmao
whatever they pay the cleaning crew. it's not enough!!
Lol
Love it !
😂😂😂
"We are not here to judge, we are here to help"
Thats why I love Kim! World needs so much more people like her!
I adore her! I love it when she calls people "my love". SO comforting!
Major props to Kim for climbing through the rubbish in heels. I trip over my own feet in Converse 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I wouldn’t go in there without a pair of industrial wellies!
"There's no way you would come into this house unless you were thrown in". One of Kim's best ever statements! That fridge is an award winner OMG!!!!
So true.
Paul S that totally cracked me up :D
It's amazing how that Melinda can come out of a house like that looking so neat,clean and put together
But she most Lively SMELLED.😂😱
That has happened a few times on this programme.
I had a aunt that was the same way. Plus she always wore perfume and smelled really nice.
whenever I watch this show I immediately go and clean something or somewhere in the house
buket yalcin
Imao mee too
I start getting the 🧹 and check my kitchen if everything is clean 😂😂
LOL
Yup. I immediately start looking around at my own house, to see what I need to clean, put away or throw away😀
that fridge, just burn it
I like this show because they show you how to clean something each show inexpensively. They also don't judge the person excessively. I make big messes too. I also love the before and after shots at the end of the show. Thank you for posting these.
and they dont bleach everything in sight
I have loved Kim and Aggie for years. I adore their personalities and genuine care for those they help. It tickles me how they're not afraid to touch ANYTHING...but still scream when they do! :)
I was thinking that same thing.😆
There is no way I would have cleaned that fridge. I would have thrown it on the tip!
I remember the episode where Aggie suggested just that because the fridge had biofilms in it lol
I'd burn the hole house and start fresh
And THEN I would go ballistic on the thing with a FLAMETHROWER!!
you know, that is very judgy. and the reality is, I don't care if they scrub it or dumpster it. just get er done.
Fridge micro and oven must go!
Between this show and To Debt Do Us Part 🤣 I am cracking up! The British have the best reality shows
Yeah they do. They can actually create a popular TV show without selling people out.
Til debt do us part is Canadian
I loved this show as a kid lol. I'd watch it with my grandma.
Lol same. My mum, dad and myself would sit all together and watch this back in the day
Kez P meee tooo
@@SurahOnline back in the day😂😂😂
Ginge1990 😂 lol it really was a long time ago 😊
I'm honestly surprised this woman wasn't seriously ill living in this home. I'm glad they helped her, she seems like a really sweet woman with some real issues
She built up an immunity to it.
"I can't get over how it works"
"It's called cleaning, dear"
Daniel Sark I couldn’t stop laughing 😂
"we're here to help not to judge" kim 💓
These ladies need to keep their shoes on, get some gloves and some face masks. They need to make sure that they're safe while filming.
Oh, they had their shoes on! Her house is so nasty I couldn't even see their shoes. They need to wear water boots to enter those places!
Yeah actually I was quite shocked and confused as to why they themselves never wore gloves or simply used their bare hands to touch the dirty surfaces.
Agreed! I wonder why they don't wear masks. My last home had mold and I had 4 sinus surgeries because of it. And I'm still healing a year and a half later. I also think some of the frig's should be thrown out because mold gets in the rubber and you can't always get that out. They don't show air filters being used but I would hope that they do that as well and retest the air quality.
JAchica11: I can't believe they don't wear hazmat suits and masks.
Indeed! I would need to wear a full Hazmat suit.
Kim and Aggie are incredible I would have ran the opposite direction the minute i saw the fridge
I love how often Kim refers to people as my love and how excited she gets when she say look, look!
There needs to be a follow-up on every participant. I‘d love to know if they continued being hoarders or got a grip eventually.
DEFINATELY!!!
She still a hoarder I’m afraid . ( I know her )
She prayed about it? How about pouring some liquid soap in a sink of water and get to work?
Well, God can heal anything.. Maybe it's bothering her life.
Simple Daphne if god can heal anything why are children dying of cancer? Is that he chooses not to?
Mary Fields well it was really dirty.I wouldn't have the motivation to clean this mess either...
well her prayer was answered
Jess Smith thats like saying why do bad people exist. People are made to born different ways.
These two ladies crack me up. Love them!
Omg right! Especially when they're freaking out!
I can’t believe a fridge that bad could be rehabilitated. That was amazing!
The impossible can sometimes be achieved but very rarely.
my favourite one line ever. There's no way you'd come into this house unless you were thrown in
Kim does say the funniest things!
I'm really intrigued by how her English sounds since she's a Texan who's been in England for two decades. You can hear she's southern for sure but she's got loads of words that bend loads towards a more "traditional" English accent. Super interesting!
I don't think its just her house what needs some attention; she seems very unwell; for her house to get in such a state.
But they gonna start somewhere, right?
Deppression does that
Hoarding is an illness.
Yeah I can understand if she has depression or not well
She's just very unwell, period. Like there's something seriously going on with that woman. She's kind of kuku and her daughter's just trying to hang on to what perhaps used to be her mother.
"Imagine an itch and a scratch in her what's-it's." 😂😂😂 Dusty underwear!
I love to see how the ladies use natural cleaners like sodium bicarbonade instead of tons of toxic things like bleach. this is why I appreciate this show a lot more than watching the "obsessive compulsive cleaners".
I'm sure the cleaning crew uses it out of cameras, they show the natural ones because it's more cheap and still useful for the viewers instead of "use this one product 🤪 and watch how much it cleans". But there is no way they are cleaning this whole mess without using bleach though.
On a side note, these ladies aren't obsessive compulsive cleaners so they aren't irrational enough to clean everything with 29573992 gallons of bleach every day like some of the people in that show do.
Battle Sister, I owned a residential cleaning business for 27 years and rarely used chlorine bleach. Instead I used hydrogen peroxide, isopropyl alcohol (90%), baking soda, and white vinegar. I'm also a certified aromatherapist and created blends for clients who wanted them. Also plain unscented dish soap is wonderful. Bleach is a last resort and only very tiny amounts.
The women do use bleach in other episodes.
@@PearlMagnolia A clean-freak relative used to use bleach a lot because she wanted her home to be "as disinfected as a hospital". Another relative pointed out, "When was the last time you went to a hospital or doctor's office and smelled bleach?".
This is a BIOHAZARD house 😨😨😨
I agree! I feel sorry for the cleaning crew, they should have been wearing biohazard suits
It is clear to see she has depression - she needed help and she is a very beautiful woman - so sad
They're a true BLESSING
Poor woman - no wonder her Daughter moved out, She might be a hoarder, and feeling depressed, but I believe people can change, I hope she doesn't hoard anymore, and her prayers have been given, God bless her heart.
I am a clean person. I love a very clean home. I don't think I could go into someone else's home and clean it. My respect for you all doing it.
I miss this programme. Bring it back!
I like how Kim knows what sort of language and tone to use depending on who she's talking to. She gives a good grilling to the naughtier grime offenders and in episodes like this, she uses a gentler, friendlier tone towards people like Melinda who need gentler persuasion.
I'm like that myself. I can handle frankness and honest critique but I respond much better to genuine concern or kindness. What I don't like is being shamed or humiliated because then I begin to oppose whoever it's coming from. I'm a fly you attract with honey, not vinegar, and I know some people who use straight up acid.
I'm watching this at 1 in the morning I don't know why but I'm addicted 🤣
They both so sweet for me the way they say darling and my love 😅
These shows are so fabulous. I wish they were still being made. Thank you for posting them here for us to see.
That fridge... no way would I use that again!
It would have been fine.. But they didn't remove the shelves... The fridge should have been cleaned last.
The shelves removed and hosed down outside before before plunged into a CLEAN sink of hot soapy water and scrubbed like madness.
The bicarb is good, but as soon as it looked clean. I would go over it once with a regular cleaning spray to kill the germs... To be on the safer side.
What was wrong with it?
me too, very disgusting, I would buy a new, if that was me.
JoyJoy why would you hose an electrical appliance🤦🏼♂️
Some people r really dirty. If they can't clean their house how they can even clean themselves. Very DIRTY.
I love how her accent keeps weaving between a Texas draw and a traditional English accent!
I know. I am from South Carolina (USA) & her accent sounds like a southern accent like mine. I wonder where she is from originally….
@@gerrihendricks539 She's from Texas.
4:30 Kim's reaction to the fridge! "Oooooooooooh"🤣😂🤣😂 Priceless!!!😂😂😂
@ 3:52 'dusty knickers' 😂😂😂😂
* cleaning the lampshade*
"What do you think dear"
"Um it looks a bit better"
"What do you mean? get out!!"
Kim says the funniest shit!! I love her xD
This is what severe depression looks like people. God bless Kim and Aggie and all the people who helped Melinda get her house in order.
I've had years of abuse, multiple deaths in my family and I've had breast cancer and been severely depressed but I've never let my house or myself go. This isn't depression this was laziness that ended in her becoming depressed and self loathing because of her realising her foul way of living and habits drove her daughter out of her life. Most of the people who appear on these shows are just lazy.
@@L.JPawtraitsI agree
Who else wants to see Kim and aggies houses I bet it is like hyacinth buckets house
There's an episode of come dine with me with Aggie hosting dinner at her house..........
Sally Green Omg! I love Keeping Up Appearances!!!! Wish it was still on tho lol
tubaplayer67 you can watch them on youtube
Hyacinth Bucket (Patricia Routledge) is a bloody living legend! To any Americans reading this, watch one episode of "Keeping up Appearances" and be amazed, lol
I know right, she's awesome
"Richard, I will not have you waving in dirty gardening gloves"
"They get dirty when you're gardening"
"Can't you keep one pair for gardening and one pair for waving?"
This is so disgusting, how could Kim and Aggie touch anything with their bare hands.
I would rather have rubbed my finger across the rim of the toilet like they usually do instead of touching that food....
+Kirsch Rot I saw in a different show done in America Kim was interviewed and she said the producers pretty much forced them to do that for the "ick" factor...
Kirsch Rot money
Kirsch Rot: I know! I spend each video with my hands curled up as if I can feel the grossness of the place. I wonder how they clean their clothes before returning home.. Especially a place like this.
Is that weird im not disgausted for me its just...Well okay this is dirty.
D E P R E S S I O N say it with me now Depression!

@@cirsiumc what does that have to do with this
@@SpinningSage 😂
Khadi BB you know what I'm singing about!
Life; "keep trying, you'll get better"
@@halftimelordwizard my sister has BPD, and her place is like this. I had a friend with BPD and her house looked like this. That being said, it's not always the case ofcourse. One thing for sure, this woman has serious issues.. I hope she seeks help for it..
I have 3 friends who all live (seperatly) like this. Try to help them and they turn on you. I refuse to go to their houses now as I simply dont want to breathe in their filth.
One has a daughter who suffers with her breathing- in and out of hospital- yet refuses to open windows or clean anything. I always get defensive, smart remarks when I try to clean up for her. She then goes to sandwich shops etc and starts picking fault in their hygiene which really makes me laugh.
Yes I understand that some people have a hoarding problem must mainly this is down to laziness initially then denial when it gets beyond them.
These videos are motivation for people to keep their homes clean but first you must get those in denial to watch them LOL
These people have lost the normal aversion to filth that most of us have and I don't know if cleaning up for them does any good. When you have a kitchen covered in rotten food and it doesn't bother you, that's serious.
Thats just a habit of the eyes and the mind
Pd Lc My great-grandfather used to say that if you have a hole in the wall and don’t repair it soon, it won’t be long before you don’t see it anymore. Without any judgement on my part, I believe the majority of these people have serious mental issues, and the state of their homes are just a symptom of their issues. It’s one thing to have a messy house, just in need of a good vacuum and tidying up. It’s a whole other issue to live surrounded by heaps of rotten garbage and flies.
True is more serious as it looks
Absolutely, its like they don't even see it themselves
It did bother her though. You could see it in her face. She was just shutting her eyes coz she felt overwhelmed
Her issues are way deep it seems. Not quite laziness
Thank you QuixoticQuaver for posting this!! It's an episode I never saw before and since I can no longer get this show on BBC in America, I had forgotten how much I missed Kim and Aggie!!. Subscribing to your channel in hopes of seeing more I haven't seen before! Thanks again!!
Sometimes you feel so tense that you can't move. It's depression. I know. I've been there. I watch these videos and the OCD cleaners to get me to clean. Inspiration.. 😽
I can relate.
Everytime I'm watching this episode I go to kitchen and clean my fridge 😊
Kevin Zabala this is exactly what I'm doing tonight!!!
I just used soda, and following wiped with bleach
Depression is evil...
and laziness!!
so many of these people say, I hate to clean....
WHO DOESNT?! it's true laziness and depression comes from living like that with no change....
just hire someone of you won't do yourself... why not try that too...
some people are so very strange!! love Kim & Agie though. miss this show!
@@sonshine5038 have you seen OCCleaners ? Now they really love to clean lol
@@sonshine5038 depression can cause it too.
Its not evil, it exists but its misunderstood and the sufferer goes through hell. Its an illness.
Yes remember when my mom was going true divorce she couldn’t really clean as before . she used to be the cleanest person I ever seen but when u going true hard time it’s hard to lead normal life . Fortunately she overcame it .
I love this show. I use it for motivation to clean my house.
Give the eBook a try for some great tips 😃
That lady was so sweet and her daughter was too! I hope she keeps her house clean so her relationship with her daughter remains stronger.
I love how they're not scared to touch things with their bare hands. Most shows we see they're just covered head to toe in "armor" yet these ladies just walk right in like it's nothing! I LOVE it! 🤗👍
"cleanliness is next to godliness" ... guess she forgot about that one...
Amen!
Antoni Christian where is that in the bible tho ...God don't condone this at all but that's just a saying not a scripture
@@oldzensoul You are correct, it is a quote credited to John Wesley, from one of his sermons in the 1700's. He was one of the founders of the Methodist Church.
I know this quote from „Ratatouille“
That phrase is made by people, nowhere in any Bible.
I love the mom and daughters 1st and 2nd generation mixed accents.
Mom sounds Southern US.
I'm watching this to motivate myself to clean
I need this narrator to narrate my life!! Priceless.
that organ music cracks me up
I'm a CLEAN FREAK with OCD
How IN THE HELL CAN ANYONE BE THAT LAZY!!!
Some people just stop caring
I think this is a combination of mental health issues and just not knowing where to turn for help. Her daughter is such a good child that she is trying to find her mother help. After this the mother needs to step up and put some work into keeping it clean.
The lady seemed quite timid, she's been through something.
I wish they could return to them now and show us the latest updates, and whether they still have clean house or not !
She doesn’t , she still a hoarder . No idea if it’s as bad as before but yeah without mental health . No one makes it :/
@@jjs9242 that's so sad :(
My house is heading this way😱 I hate depression😞 I'm not giving up but I have to watch this to keep me motivated. I pretend I'm moving when it's difficult like at the mo. I put everything into boxes or bags, clean an empty room and go through a bag a day until the room is how I want it. It takes me months sometimes when I can't think where things have to go.
never keep milk in the door, because of the flexible heat in the door when opening it.. best to keep it high up inside the fridge
I don't think the quality of there milk is there main problem right now
+Izzy alice Ikr
+Izzy Guy lol
sarabjarnveig87 best to keep dairy in the back and lower. (Cold air sinks, away from the door). But best to avoid dairy altogether and try veganism ;))
veganism.. erm.. NO. not for me at least..
this episode is a jolly good diet plan. just watch the kitchen before shots!
I really like that they have the home owner cleaning instead of having them leave and professional cleaners do it all.
and THIS is why I don't eat homemade food that people bring in! And as for that "house" BURN IT DOWN TO THE GROUND
My husband says the same thing he won’t eat any potlucks
The way they act, its obvious that a mum is suffering from depression or stress..glad that her daughter is still with her..
I clean rental homes part time. I get so much advice from this show! I'm in charge of training the new girls, & writing up our regular cleaning checklist as well as the the rotating maintenance cleaning schedule. Hehe I get paid double while training the girls & a really a healthy little holiday bonus. I have to thank this show for my lovely little successes!
Good for you! I bet it's so satisfying when you're done 🤗
Watching the video makes me feel as if the germs are coming out of the screen to infect me!😳😳😳
🐛🐛🐛📲
If you want to live a peaceful life, live a minimal lifestyle..this will prevent you to hoarding things..
This is depression. I guarantee you she wants to live a "peaceful life" but she's overwhelmed by everything internal that it has spilled out into the external. It's a vicious cycle.
I definitely think there was some depression here! But I do agree that having fewer tings can do a lot for you. You don't need to go full on extreme minimalist for it to work; just decluttering a little will make a big impact.
she even didn't look like kind of person who will have so extremely dirty home
My mum looks like her and our house is a mess, the only cleaning is from me and sometimes my Dad. People can get easily stressed out and tried, so they never get round to it, old habits etc. Hoarders is also much more common than people ever realise.
definitely not like the one on here through aha
Hoarding is a psychological condition. There is no look to it.
I've had OCD for years. My children laugh about it all the time. I hate filth! I clean to be clean but to mainly relieve stress. I wonder if these people are my opposites that deal with stress differently. A lot of people call them lazy, but other issues can be involved.
Depression becomes immobilizing. I bet she only gets out because of her affinity for the church and maybe because she can't stand the house, but is too overwhelmed to tackle it now it is beyond her.
Often OCD comes out as hoarding. I'd prefer the cleaning type but true OCD can be just as harmful.
what I love about this show is that the owner of the house participated in cleaning and the hosts explain the owner how to clean their house
These ladies are hilarious!! I smiled & laughed the whole first 10 minutes of the video. I commend them for being willing to touch stuff without wearing gloves! 😂❤️
Oh I haven't seen this in years, I can now appreciate it. These two are great
i hope she can see that God listened, and he answered her prayers and sent her kim and aggy
i love it when kim says knickers...lol
sometimes I get cross cause our house is a lil messy
then I come here and feel a whole lot better
I should be cleaning... instead I am watching this! He,he.
why is this not on TV anymore. me and my mum use watch all the time
Simsforever2000 because they stopped making them in 2009
I've never understood how anyone can live that way. I'm a clean freak and people think I'm crazy when I tell them I LOVE to clean. It's therapeutic for me, and once I'm done and I take a look around my clean, shiny, and good smelling house and I swear I get a rush! I don't like having too many people come to my house either, more people means more dirt. The second they leave the mop comes out! 😋
It's time to deep clean the kitchen so back again for cleaning motivation. Never fails!
I fricken used to love this show!!!
It would be hard to hold your head up in public after that was all exposed!
Watching this is giving me so much motivation to get off my fat lazy ass and clean my room
its amazing how much cool stuff i have found under all that trash i have found like £10 in change alredy
Sadly, my mother was like this--an intelligent woman who lived with filth piled to the ceiling. I sympathize with Natalie, in that I wanted to get out of that mess, but I married the first man who came along just to get out of the house. That marriage did not last long, but I never again lived in that house. I could never understand how my mother would look so polished when she left the house, yet there was no place to sit and the kitchen looked disturbingly like this one.
That's so sad - for her and for you. I hope you are happier now.
I grew up the same way too, it's really awful. I've moved into a uni house and haven't lived there in over a year now.. it's a shame because me and the rest of my family have tried to help her sort it out so many times but always ends up the same. :/
I feel for you! I grew up the same way at my mothers. I am now an ocd cleaner, terrified of ever putting my children through that! I will throw everything away before I ever dig to find anything again. It’s an illness and I am sorry you experienced a childhood with a hoarder also.
My mother was also a hoarder..and after she passed away..we 3 sisters cleaned the house in the 13 day mouring period itself as we could not wait any longer to throw the filth out of the house.
@@robindey4031 ❤
😊I love Kim she is kind bring back how clean is your house
this is the worst one i have ever seen....
I wonder what the house looks like now in 2018 ..
Amanda Newman yeah I would love it if they did a show where they come back to the houses they cleaned and see what they look like now.
I think some will fail, and some will succeed. The thing is, the clean-up is nessicary to start over, and it *can* be life-changing. But it depends on having a system to maintain it. Things got out of hand because they didn't have such a system, their habits really. It is really important to teach the clients that, and I really hope they did.
Problem is once you get so far it's so hard to get started I suffer depression and other issues so I get stuck in a rut thankfully I have help getting started a lot of the time! If your struggle just write a list of everything needs doing and do one item a day if you do more that's great :) I used to give myself too much to do at once and it becomes too difficult. So just do 5 minutes if it's all you can do one job at a time it will eventually get done! I'm glad she got help finally! She looked like she was suffering a lot she needs a bit more help I think after this show to heal some deeper issues :)
- I can believe how this works
- it's called cleaning my dear
:(
LOVE the narrator
I would never have even attempted cleaning that fridge, I would have thrown it right in the bin. Disgusting
There is no way you would come in this house, unless you were thrown in. Lol I love Kim
