2 DAYS DEPRESSION HOME CLEANING FOR FREE | Expert cleaning tips! 🥰 

when my brother finally left to rehab this is honestly what his room looked like. everyone refused to help me, so i cleaned his room alone as a 15 year old. i admire people who do this for free, ur an angel

I have depression and my home looked like this years. But I found u this year and I managed to clean everything up by myself! I have now a routine, watching ur videos and clean. I'm so thankful Katarina! Much love from Germany - Laethicia

You know this is a special channel when she doesn’t even show the people returning home to the house like how other makeover shows usually do to boost the content / views. She really cares for these people - their privacy and all. It’s very touching.

The fact that she took the money from the bottles returning and bought something for the owner is the sweetest thing!

It's crazy that some people get mad at her for doing this for free. How?? That's such a sweet thing to do for someone and it changes their life. She's such a kind person

I think that one of the greatest things about Ari's channel is the very fact that they don't show the house owners. She doesn't explore or expose people's struggles. They just focus on cleaning the houses not judging why they ended up like that and that's awesome!

I don’t think this woman really understands how much of a blessing she is to people with depression.

CLEANING TIP: If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the mess, see if you can commit to 15 minutes of mindful cleaning. Mindful meaning when you notice your attention drifting or anxiety drifting in (“this is too much, I’ll never be able to do this, etc) GENTLY bring your attention back to the present moment and the task you are focusing on right now “I’m picking up the paper plate and throwing it away”. Honestly, if you’re able to do this for even 5 minutes you’ll be impressed with what you can accomplish. The key is to be gentle with yourself. Living in a mess is emotionally exhausting, treat yourself with kindness.

I finally cleaned my whole house yesterday after living in a mess because of my depression for months. It’s going to be hard to keep it clean but these videos motivate me

I love her so much. Cleaning the house is one thing, but the extra step of buying him curtains with the money from recycling his trash literally made me cry. I think back to when I was 18, in my first apartment, right after my mom died. It was disgusting… especially the kitchen sink. I understand what a blessing she is giving to these people. And I loooove her message that nothing is beyond fixing. Soooo much love to Aurikatarina.

I've cleaned friends' depression/hoarder dorms/houses for free as well. They have pointed out that I never judge them and that's why they do not ask their families to help because they constantly get berated or get told ''get real and stop blaming depression''. Thanks for not doing that

I was very down I’m 75 years old and live on my own,my house never looked so bad ,but I started to let go,yesterday I found your video,and it gave me kick in my but,today I got up and start to do a good cleaning ,I’m a very house proud and lately I have been sick with one thing or another ,now after the video I founded the strength ,thank you so much 👍👍🇺🇾🇺🇾🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿❤️❤️❤️

I hope he feels a bit better now his debts are paid off and you helped him with a completely fresh start with his apartment. I wish everyone with such problems had someone like you to help them.

After my mom passed, I just couldn’t get myself out of mourning and simply couldn’t get motivated to deep clean. It’s been almost 6 years, and I am finally able to start dealing with my clutter and getting my house in order. Depression and loss can really break you down, so I thank you for being so kind to people in helping them get this fresh start.

Great job! And here is my own cleaning tip for when you feel overwhelmed or life has just hit you like a 48 wheeler and you have no clue of how to start again: every time you have to go to the bathroom or to get a glass of water, on your way back to your couch or bed or wherever you were sitting or laying just take 5 minutes to pick up something from the floor. Just 5 minutes. If you can't count minutes just pick up 5 things. The first time you get up from your spot take a bag for the trash and another for the clothes. Depending on how bad the situation is: very bad, do this until you make a path from your spot to the bathroom and another path from your spot to the kitchen. After that repeat in the area around your usual spot or choose a spot to clear that is more suitable for your situation. Most important DO NOT STRESS. Nobody is judging you. Just keep doing your thing until the next time nature compels you to move. I know it sounds like nothing but how many times do you need to relieve yourself? Exactly, several times during your waken hours. And how many glasses of water do you drink? Well, unless you have a bottle also several times. Multiply all the times you need to leave your usual spot by the 5 pieces of trash or clothing you pick up in your way back to your starting point and you get your answer. Do this everyday and you will see the results. This same method applies to everything: things that belong to the kitchen, school or working things, gaming/sports things etc etc. For those specific things, just make a pile on their specific area to clear up later. Big pieces of trash like boxes or cardboard are specially satisfying. 3 big of those things clear up quickly a big spot 😁 Every time you fill a bag of trash, throw it out. Do not keep the trash inside your home. If you feel tired, rest. Do not force yourself, there is no deadline. Things take time. Just 5 minutes or five things every time you have to do something else anyway. Good luck and get well soon 🌞 🌻 ☀️ 👍

It’s comforting reading the comments, knowing that lots of people have the same struggle with cleaning. It’s nice to know you aren’t alone

It’s so sad to think depression can lead to this! You’re a blessing 💖

It's not a mess, it's more like a broken heart scattered everywhere. Watching you, your heart is putting life back into their living space. Underneath all the clutter, there's beauty and I can't wait to see it come back to life. This will help that person have a spark of hope probably come back in the first time in forever.

Depression will knock you down and this is one of the effects. I wish there were more people like this lady… this is actually a part of healthcare. Sometimes it just takes one act of kindness to help. It doesn’t always have to be this large of a task. 😍

The thing I love about your channel is it reminds people that nothing is impossible. You're not just stuck in this awful situation. Also it inspires me to clean and have fun with it instead of dread it. You're an amazing human and you have a beautiful soul

My flat has been in a complete state for a while now due to depression, and two days ago I finally got past my pride and let my mum and sister come and clean my kitchen for me. Even just having that one room cleaned has made such a monumental difference to me, so it really is an incredible thing you are doing for these people ❤️❤️

I love how positive and non-judgmental that you are when cleaning depression homes (I have depression) and knowing that you have these videos makes it easier for me to clean my own house! Thank you!

You know the person is really deep into suffering when their house is a disaster. It's awesome how you can be so kind, makes ne get some hope for humanity...❤❤

I feel like if I can get my house together I can get my life together. You’re so inspiring!

I love when she uses the recycling money to gift the person something, so considerate!

I think people don’t understand that some times when you’re depressed things slowly pile up and then it gets overwhelming and before you know it every where is a mess it happens and it’s not easy to know how or where to start when it does. Such a kind thing to do

I love how she’s so optimistic and enthusiastic about cleaning ppls homes

You truly are an Angel. I would have dug out of depression faster had I found someone like you. My house isn’t great yet, had you seen it 15 months ago you’ll see the great strides I’ve made so far. Great job helping others. More people need to be in the world like you. ❤️

thank you so much for what you do. i’ve seen you on tiktok! i have had a depression room building up for almost a year now. it’s created a big problem in my relationship! i’ve been searching for the motivation and seeing your youtube made me jump up and get to work on it. i’ve already filled a trash bag :)

I think you always do a brilliant job, for the person you help it will not only be the fact that you clean everything but that you give your time in caring, a true gift indeed, rare these days. I hope you are blessed too, you deserve it, keep laughing

I love how Aurikatariina loves the mess and is excited to get into cleaning it and wants to help people with their struggles or depression and doesn't judge them for how ever messy the house is ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I am so happy I found this RU-vid channel! I have been suffering from some new illnesses that have made me severely depressed. I haven't received any help, and have attempted to clean up. But, physically and emotionally I don't have the strength. This has inspired me.

sometimes my room gets like this when i’m going through really depressive episodes, you’re my favorite person in the world. you always inspire me to clean my room, even if i’m not feeling great, you’re joy and happiness in cleaning gives me the same joy, thank you so much for making so many lives better

you are amazing you deserve a show on Netflix

This made me cry, I cleaned for my very dearest brother when he was depressed. I also helped a friend who had a hoarding problem.

Seeing this reminds me of my old flat but also how far I've come over the last 5 years. Tackling my depression and seeking help to get better wasn't easy. I still have a long way to go but I would have never gotten out of that dark place without telling my family and friends, who helped and stayed with me on that difficult journey. Hopefully others in the same situation can find some courage from your videos!

My favorite part about these are the little things you do. Like you took his new gaming chair out of the box and made it for him?! I love things like that.

I understand the feeling of not having strength to clean when you are depressed. Thank you for caring.

this is only the second video of hers I've seen but already I've decided that i ever see even one single person be mean to her in any way I will lose my absolute mind. Auri is such a blessing. She must be protected at all costs

i woke up at three and started watching your videos, it is now 7, i’ve been watching for 4 hours! i was misdiagnosed with mdd (depression), i actually have bipolar disorder w/ psychosis and chronic hallucinations, i watch these to distract myself from drug cravings so i don’t worsen my psychosis, i guess what i mean to say is thank you

I bet he felt a weight had lifted from his shoulders when he saw his place. Depression is a vicious circle but hope he felt abit better in some way. I get great satisfaction seeing you clean and tidy and getting the house/flat back to how it should be and can see how much you enjoy doing what you do, I think it's amazing, you really do change life's with your hard work, so thank you

as someone with depression, it makes me so happy to see you helping these people! love these series!

Struggling with depression, anxiety, and long hours can become too much and housework is so hard to manage when it’s hard to just get out bed and face the day thank you Aurikatariina ☺️ you make cleaning seem pleasant and I have been using these videos to help me manage both my mental health and cleaning motivation 😆

Wow! Not only did she do all that work for free, but, she also bought him curtains!! Such an amazing person 😃.

I bet you changed his life completely you are an angel x

So cool!!! I paused the video half way got up and put a load of laundry to wash, cleaned the counters threw out the trash and washed dishes. After it was all tidy I sat back down and hit play on the rest.. :) Awesome work!!!

Me and my 4 children battle ptsd depression and anxiety due to domestic violence from my ex/ their dad. My house is a big mess. Im also permanently physically disabled! If I had someone do this for me, I’d be so overwhelming grateful. Dealing with mental health, physical health, and financial issues for years is extremely difficult.

Coming from someone who has suffered from depression in the past, this is very relatable. You don’t have love for yourself or energy, let alone to keep a house clean. People judge for a messy environment or bad parenting since at the time I had just one child, but it is something that is completely normal and doesn’t get recognized often.

I also love that it shows the cleaning and respects the privacy of the people, and is not focused on the reveal to the person and their emotions. It is very wholesome and respectful this way.

I suffer mental illness and used to find cleaning impossible now I do a little a day and try and keep everything in its place. Watching your videos motivate me to live in a clean place. It makes so much difference when u wake up to a beautiful apartment it makes you less depressed and you live a healthy life.

This channel actually helped me reach out to my friend for help after dealing with depression and ptsd after some bad personal problems

She has a stronger stomach than I do. When I was a cleaner, doing places like this, I first did the bathroom because I would often have to stop to vomit. Refrigerators did it to me every time.

This woman has such a beautiful spirit that… I can’t even understand it

You are such an angel! As someone with depression and anxiety, it’s sadly easy for things to escalate and get this dirty so fast. And then the mess makes you feel worse and you don’t have the will/energy to clean it up. You are so kind to do this for people and give them a fresh start and their dignity back. ❤️

the ways she’s doing this all for free is so cute, I bet when that guy got home it felt so refreshing

I wish American bathrooms were more like this... so much easier to deep clean with that sprayer and a drain right in the floor

As someone with depression, I love seeing that any mess, no matter how big, can be fixed. 😊

The main think I take away from these is the joy of the process. There's no judgemental talk of something being gross, it's joy in the challenge of cleaning it.

what I have learned from this chanel: oven cleaner is a magical thing 👍👍👍👍

I have always said 1. Physical clutter is a sign of mental clutter and 2. Its easier to keep clean if it starts clean. So by giving him a fresh clean start he will feel mentally better and its physically easier to keep clean now!

I love when you say "trashes". So cute. Your awesome at what you do, not only you clean for free but with a happy attitude. Love that you don't Judge. Wish they were a little longer video. I ordered scrub daddy sponges because of you. God bless you.💞🤗

you are an absolute angel. I have suffered anxiety and depression my whole life and while it has never gotten to this point, I can relate with having just no motivation or energy to look after your home. and it just gets worse and more embarrassing and harder to address. this has to be a life-changer for these people and that is so beautiful of you

As someone with significant depression, it takes EVERYTHING TO GET OUT OF BED! The idea of cleaning is horrendous. Bless you for helping.

I wish so hard that I knew of someone like you where I live. I have struggled a lot over the last year and my room shows it. I'm trying to use your videos as motivation to do it myself tho! I was able to gather three bags of garbage the other night, it's just so hard to not feel overwhelmed when i see what's left. Thank you for doing this for people, it means so much!

The magic moment when you can see the floor again is one of my favorites in these kind of cleaning videos. You are like a cleaning wizard, Katharina :).

amazed watching this and seeing absolutely no bugs running out so far. depression messes are so much harder when you're also afraid of bugs. it's an endless cycle. i wish i had someone like you here :(

I can relate to this guy. Things can escalate pretty easy. It's been two weeks since I cleaned my house and almost a month on low mood. The sad part is that when I have my high I can't clean my house because I can't stay at home.

I'm very happy that you help Some depression people cleaning their house for free☺️☺️

I cant imagine the reactions these people must have seeing their homes after you’ve cleaned it for them. you are truly giving them a fresh start.

This series has helped me start cleaning my own home and it already looks so much better with m working on it a little every day. Thank you for your inspiration and upbeat attitude

I have to say that I like the way Finish bathrooms are set up with shower, sink, toilet, & washing machine. It makes using the shower sprayer so easy to spray everything down after scrubbing.

What a lovely timed upload. I have severe depression myself , and I just sat down with a cup of coffee wondering am i gonna be able to do anything useful today. I find your videos so motivating so hopefully I will succeed now :)

You should be sponsored by scrub mommy ! I just bought these scrubbers on Amazon because they don’t sell it in Hawaii lol. Love u girl keep it up !

This is so satisfying! The kitchens are my favorite. I’ve ordered my scrub daddies & mommies! Can’t wait to clean! 👍

Thank you for making these videos!!! After a swift kick in the butt from life I've finally found the strength to clean my depressing house, it's going great thanks to all your helpful cleaning tips!! ^-^ I'm surprised, I even found a floor underneath me! XD

You are such a cheerful happy person, I just noticed your RU-vid now and I love it. Mostly because you are helping people for free and because you are so happy and genuine.

I will never understand why this amazing vid gets even a single thumbs down

It’s good to see that the floors/walls/ceiling didn’t get so bad. People can get help before it ruins the house itself! So glad for the people you help

I totally get it. I also have depression and I'm dealing with it. My room looks messy too

I don't miss when my house looked like this for two years straight, all over the country too because I was a travel tech. But watching this made me realize that I have made so much progress. My house does get away from me sometimes. But no where near the mountains of garbage I once had. Matter of fact it's organized to the nines most of the time. Full circle moment.

Такое впечатление что этой девушке красотке очень нравится наводить порядок и дарить людям позитив. Благодарю вас за видео.

I don’t know how anyone can give this video a thumbs down you literally just gave me the energy to clean my home, I been feeling down for the past week and it’s a wreck

You’re just a kind person. It warms my heart that you never judge anyone for what they’re going through and the mess that has accumulated. It speaks volumes about a person who uses their free time to help others for free

When I used to live in a rented place my room used to look like this,I was sucidal because of all that mess,thank God I got rid of all that stuff and it's true your surroundings do affect how you feel,you are literally saving people's life out there🥺💕💕💕

Yes depression is misunderstood but watching clean up vids gets me going every time. I watch one then clean something. X

The great thing about these videos is she showed how she cleans it and even tells you sometimes which is great for whoever's stuff this is! They can watch this if they want to clean it again and forgot how

You are doing an amazing thing for these people. I’ve been having a hard time cleaning up. I have 8 years worth of stuff to declutter. These videos have motivated me, along with the 5 x 5 cleaning videos. Ive been working at it for 2 weeks. Mostly every Wednesday night since trash pickup is on Thursday mornings. Ive thrown out 8 trash bags full these past 3 Wednesday’s (24 trash bags). Still have a lot to do. It’s hard keeping up with kids stuff and working full time. Hopefully a month from now I’ll make more progress 👍

This makes me feel better. I’m not alone in my struggles. Thank you. Your videos motivate me to get better and do better for myself

I hope you read this When one of your video was in my reccomendation, i was at my lowest and ready to end my life. You seriously saved me in some ways. Big love.

I think it's so respectful that you never say „yuck“ or something similar :) nobody needs that in such a situation! thumbs up! Greetings from germany ❤️

When I get a notification that you have downloaded a video, my happy time begins 📸❣️🍊♥️🥳😘🥰🤩❤️

You are one in a million! We need more people like you in the world

You inspire me so much! I started cleaning my cousins house and grandmas house for one thing. A hug! I clean a lot now thank you for making people’s lives better and inspiring many people everyday I hope you reach 1m subs soon! Your so close everyday you get closer and closer!

These people have nice homes with nice things, they look so beautiful the way they’re meant to after you clean them, it’s so nice of you.

She's so awesome and kind, I've always struggled with depression and my room gets do messy but I always feel alot better when I finally clean it. Sometimes you just need some help though, it really gives you hope.

I've been so inspired because of your videos that I took a weekend off and went to help my friend to clean their place for free and even got them some cleaning supplies! I almost cried of happiness when we were ready because the mess was so bad, one time I thought I can't do it because there was so much dirt. But we did it! 🤩 Thank you so much, without your videos and positivity it would have been much harder!

i have depression too, never went to this level but my house can get messy as my head, ur videos are an AMAZING help to watch and get up and make that cleaning

I used to be a cleaning freak.. Then one time i had a depression and i didn't care about anything anymore. So my house turned into the worst place to live in.. It is crazy what depression can do to a human. But i'm glad that i picked my life back up and i'm in a better place. Peace of mind and a clean home 😊.

People end their lives over depression houses like this. What an amazing lady

as someone who was depressed for a period of time, I really really deeply appriciate what you do. it geniuenly puts a smile on my face and the fact that you don't judge these people is beautiful. thank you from the bottom of my heart ♡
