Same! Most of those people are like assaulting them or saying things like "ugh how dare you living like this🤬"(ok yea its disgusting but you can show some supportive vibes) but those 2 look really friendly to me too!
and also our parents or elders too.. i know in some western society... the elderly somewhat dont experience the care from its daughters/sons like those in Asia..
*I have a saying “messy house means a messy mind”* Last year I was was staying in a broken down house with 6 strange (and much older) men I didn’t know, in a room filled with 4 + recent tenants crap everywhere, at the end we were all kicked out during the pandemic meaning I was going to be homeless and I went through a really sad breakup, lost my job and found out I had to rehome my rescue cats that I’ve had for 5 years (this all happened in one week and during covid btw), in my last month in that crap hole I got so depressed I stopped caring for myself and my big room ended up like a bomb went off, I had no care anymore I was just waiting to die, the men that lived there made me so uncomfortable and miserable I’d rather leave my rubbish piled up in my room rather than leave my room. I watch these with a new perspective now. I know how they feel, maybe not this intensely but similar. If you’re curious I now have a lovely home and a beautiful bedroom and my two rescue kitties are with me and I didn’t end up losing them because I worked my ass off to make sure I had my fur babies with me and life is getting better!
i’m so sorry you went through that, i can imagine how grateful you feel for your current comfort, as we all should! you deserve the peace, i’m glad you have it and hope it’s only up from here
I went through a couple years of living by myself, hardly making ends meet, and struggling with rent just to make sure my 3 cats had a roof over their head, clean litter box, and food to eat every day. That was about 6 years ago. I have such a big heart for them. I couldn’t give them up, they are my babies and my support system ❤️ Without them I could have moved in with some friends and saved myself a lot of money & trouble. I’m so glad I stuck to guns and kept them with me. You can’t put a price on love like that!!
It's so incredibly sad. When my grandfather died we redecorated my grandmas trailer so it looks really pretty and modern now, and we do things with her a lot more often so she doesn't get lonely. The first week after he passed she came over every night for dinner and we will always welcome her with open arms.
Or not accepting help. Because accepting help means you have to acknowledge it and thats the hardest part. She couldnt even cope with sleeping in that room without her huisband...
I agree, this was recorded in 2015 approx? The milk was supposed to caducate on 2001 the woman left the house for 9 years 2001+9= 2010. Where are the other years at? I’m pretty sure it has been for more years.
@D H I don't think you've experienced true existential depression. She's probably wishing she would die too to be with her husband. That's unbelievable depression. She's completely given up. There's a reason elderly widowers don't live long after their spouse passes. It's devastating for them.
As a child of hoarders, I want everyone to know that what these women are doing is an EXTREME act of compassion and can heal in ways people who haven't experienced it can't understand.

@@helenwood1000 You are right up to a point, that point being it is not clear in the video if she was offered any help in the first place. That being said, where neighbours are present, nobody should be allowed to let their house or in this case flat get into that state. It is unpleasant and a health risk to those living next door. That poor lady should have had help.
Honestly this is completely heartbreaking. The fact that she has been living like this is SO upsetting. Depression is such a hard thing to deal with and the fact that she was probably doing this alone is soul destroying. By the sound of it she doesn’t have a single person to help her in any way shape or form and is completely isolated. These women are wonderful for doing what they do. It probably means the world to this lady and honestly if this doesn’t make me more grateful for what I have then nothing will! I really hope this lady gets the help, support and more importantly the company that she clearly so desperately needs!!
And she's elderly, we don't know.if she has arthritis,.or heart problems, or something else that restricts her mobility and her ability to keep up with house chores.
plus, elderly people have to live on less money than 10 or 20 years ago when pensions were a bit higher. She probably couldn't afford stuff and had to make do with the things she's owned for decades, even if they're broken. There's a lot more old people searching through trash cans and collecting recycles to earn a little bit of money nowadays. It's very sad people worked all their life, paid taxes and raised children just to end up like this and speaks about where societies even in so called 'rich' countries are headed to :(
@@christinebutler7630 I am old and have serious disabilities but still manage to keep atop pf the house, as I am not depressed or in grief. At one stage I DID let things go and vowed NEVER AGAIN.
@@جمالالجنيد actually i would disagree, i’ve fortunately won my battle with depression but i remember my room being filled with moldy food clothes drinks etc. because at that point you don’t care about yourself or the condition you are staying or living in.
Krista S, that is what I was thinking myself 🤔 too😷? I would definitely wear a mask😷 . Can you imagine the smell and fumes coming from the house ❓❓ yuck
You realize these people CLOSE THEMSELVES IN right? And nobody has the right to just MARCH IN and inspect the place. Except maybe a landlord, but even then.... I have seen some USELESS people who are meant to check on people with mental problems. I had beer in the fridge of a bipolar guy I knew. He had an inspection by this BRAINLESS young government tart. She opened the fridge and saw the beer. There was NO FOOD in the house. Nothing else in the fridge, nothing in the cupboards ONLY 1 JAR of coffee. The stupid bitches report read "Everything fine except he drinks too much beer". There wasn't ONE open bottle around or even in his bin. She never saw him drinking or smelt anything on him because I had been elsewhere and someone dropped me off at his place where I had left my car.
Totally. This made me feel more appreciative of the room I have. Even though it's tiny and my roommates next door loud, I have my own private space with a nice window.
I think it’s a lot easier to clean someone else’s stuff because there’s no sentimental value to anything for you. I hold sentimental value for the dumbest things that other people would definitely throw away if they had to clean my room for whatever reason. Not to mention things that you’re trying to avoid. In this case, it was the bedroom for the lady. In my case, it’s the corner of my room and under my bed because that’s where my cat spent a lot of time before she passed away. Those areas being touched bothers me so much bc i don’t want them getting dirty, and they weren’t even her favorite spots until she got sick. I just hold sentimental value to those areas because that’s where she always felt safe
I do love how passionate they are about their jobs, It's all about the satisfaction and reaction of the people they're cleaning for and the transformation. A clean home doesn't just change the house it changes their mindset and health for the better but that's definitely more than 9 years of neglect.
Some elderly R introverts or have caused issues with their neighbors that nobody wants to deal with them but if she is a nice lady I would do what I could to help her. Some also die with millions of dollars but refuse to pay the plumber or gardener.......There is an elderly person in the previous area I lived who was notorious for not paying handymen that he lives in a half-built home because he gets carpenters in and then doesn't want to pay for the work.
Gibli studio's animations: abandoned house have all sorts of wild flowers,weeds ,birdnest and the smell of nature. Reality : all sorts of creepy crawling creatures,bacteria, moulds and life threatening smell Harsh reality
I mean the main diference is that there was someone living there. Inhabited and abandoned houses do tend to be invaded by plants, moss, lil crawling critters and obviously some mold.
Maybe it makes a difference how the homes are left behind, how Clean, how Open to Air and were the homes are, city or country... And of course , Ghibli creates magical Landscapes. I prefer Ghibli to reality
They haven't shown the parts where they get people in to treat the walls etc and the leak in the bathroom, also they haven't shown help they've received such as the new furniture etc, it must be so rewarding doing this type of job, no amount of money could pay for that level of satisfaction - it would have been nice to see the old lady's reaction too, maybe she didn't want to be identified.
I don't either. There is no way. Mold is in the walls and floor of that house. Whole house should have been knocked down. No way its clean. Them two lady couldn't have cleaned that house and made it livable in that short of time. No way!!!totally agree
I think a clean home is the only "mental health intervention" she needed. She's ready for it. She has, on her own, gotten out of her deep depression and doesn't want to live like that anymore. We know this because she asked for outside help from the sisters.
Vince I Totally Agree. Why Would the Dear Lady be Depressed when She Comes Back, It Will be a New Lease of Life For Her. Her and Her Pet Can be Comfortable In their Home. God Bless these two Dear Ladies, With their Loving Hearts.
Things get to be in an overwhelming condition, and too much for someone of her age who is likely depressed over the death of her husband. At least she realized that something had to be done. It would be nice if she had caring neighbours or family to help her with things.
They handle it so professionally. I couldn’t imagine how my face would look walking into that. I wouldn’t be able to touch it. Amazing for them to be able to help these people.
Too bad the home opener doesn’t have a shred of empathy for the poor animals she’s subjecting to this filth. They’re probably sick and suffering under her care
So now the tenant has clean mold! After nine years I'd imagine the walls would be impregnated with mold which would need specialist treatment, it's not simply a case of painting the walls. For all the fantastic work the sisters did the flat still needs some serious work carried out on it.
If the toilet has been repaired, assuming that was the source of all the moisture, hopefully the mold won’t resurface. Though I don’t disagree with you.
Yep, the whole thing needs to be gutted, the foundation and weight bearing walls need to be inspected and fixed if needing fixing. Not sure why they didn't do this since the contents of the house literally disintegrated.
Yes thought the same..needs completely gutting tbh..damp will be there still, which will just come back and fully redecorated..I think this was to bigger job for just these two ladies and although their cleaning is amazing, someone needs to be helping this lady more..
This job must feel so nice, knowing you’re making someone’s day or even life by helping them do a task they struggle to do. I nearly cried at the result in the end.
I know how easy it is to loose your will to live after my girlfriend died seven years ago, I'm okay now but for the first five years I didn't care about anything,my heart goes out to anyone who is finding things hard to cope with and my best advice is to ASK FOR HELP and don't suffer in silence 😉❤️
I can't believe anyone could survive in their without contracting a serious bacterial/respiratory infection. Her immune system must be amazing. I'm just blown away by this.
I've watched a lot of hoarders/ biohazard cleaning episodes. This is one of the most disgusting ones I have ever seen. I can't believe the transformation back into a normal home!
This poor lady was so devastated over her husbands loss... that made my heart ache... I hope she got therapy or something or at least feels better today
Absolutely! I’m really anxious that she’s just going to let things degrade again. It’s easy to keep things up at first, but as soon as u accumulate a little bit of stuff, somewhere, depressed people will lose all the motivation they had, and things will go right in the same direction. Not that it’s their responsibility, but I would love to know that the 2 women checked in on the old woman at some point, to see how she was holding up
Yeah, I have to wonder if they fixed that window that was leaking in the bedroom and sprayed for spiders. It would be a shame if she had to sleep in the living room again after all that
Why aren’t you showing the cleaning process. I also noticed in one of the A&E shows you just show the patient before and after treatment. The best bit is the actual process.
yeah, im a cleaner but deal with holiday lets mainly. ive only ever had to deal with a place like this and it was a one off job for an elderly gentleman who lost his wife and just gave up on life. it took 4 of us 12 hours to clean his house.
not without a team. I have a hard time believing they hauled the garbage out, sorted through crap. cleaned the floors walls etc in 4 days just those two.
@@3xtra_exquisite O it is. I have cleaned rentals. Done contract trash outs on repos. It is very hard work. There is another show that showed two women but when done they gave credit to four others who helped and were not seen.
I wish I could see the Owners reaction when she comes through her door 🚪 to her nice new clean flat. I bet it's HAPPY TEARS. Those 2 ladies deserve 🏅 Gold Medals. Lisa 🇺🇲 Myrtle Beach SC 🌴👙😎
That's what I was thinking. That type of mold just doesn't go away, and the damp too. The whole place would need gutted. But they did a great job and cleaning the flat
Elizabeth yeah I don’t understand how they did it ..surface mold was on walls that means it was in the air and probably made its way to floor boards and within walls. ...it would have to be gutted ...I know a lot about mold having worked with mold specialist in the past...
@@turquoiseheart6320 so sad in 🇬🇧 the social services for adults would have her a home help and meals brought in to her 3 times a day .or out her in 24hr care .poor lady it's so sad 😥🙏
@@janinegough8555 it seemed like it was in the UK. I think the sad reality is that people get missed, if they have nobody coming round, then there is nobody to see how they're living in order to get the help. I hope she has on going help now.
watching this really made me look around my small little room and just be like "wow, i live in a whole palace" I'm really grateful i stumbled upon this video bc it made me realize how much i really have in lafe and be more thankful.
I think the walls need to be professionally treated and re done and as they are just deep cleaners it’s not really their area ? Although for the sake of the program I think production should have organised to get that sorted out.
I am terrified by mold. Seriously give me a pile of dog poop to clean but not a moldy bread to throw. This house gave me anxiety. I cannot even imagine how someone can live like that. It was so bad they didn't even show the old lady. So sad all of this.
You ladies are incredible! 🤗🤗You've transformed this person's life. So sad that some elderly people have no support and they have to live like this in the UK.
It's incredibly sad that this lady had been struggling for all of those years until her home became uninhabitable. This lady probably got up every morning to take care of her family and felt that she had a place and a purpose in Society for doing so.. So before anyone can say that this is so disgusting let's just suppose losing your husband or your w1ife, you can become incredibly disconnected and isolated with what's going on around you, so pleases don't ignore those who don't make a sound and let's all do something to help others without the need to be rewarded. Thank you ladies for all that you've done and thank you for treating this lady with respect . God BLESS
The Afghan Abdi I Hope it Keeps You Fit and Mobile. If it gets too much, hire a Cleaner. If you have a timetable, Space it out Everyday, Little and Often, it is Easier. Does Everything have to be done twice a day? If it is Cleaned, is Still Clean, you don't Need to do it again that day. That's Obsessive, the Opposite to that Poor Lady!
I have some serious respect for professional cleaners now, like that much of a turn around in four days is absolutely amazing! I could never stomach anything like that but they're handling it so well!
You want to until you do it for a second and they're so ungrateful and complain the whole time about how you're doing everything wrong and how evil you are for being young.
