I’m 81, and I’m not a bad housekeeper, but since watching you, I see things I didn’t before, like the top of the toaster I just cleaned, by the way, and keeping spilled foods in the fridge cleaned up. . I bought a Scrub Daddy, but haven’t used him yet. I love the microfiber cloths and fold them and wipe the way you do. So-even old dogs learn new tricks, after all.
I love how you describe the messes as "beautiful" because you genuinely feel that way. It is so endearing how passionate you are about cleaning and helping people. It makes me feel inspired to clean my own home too.
Yes we need to hear you take a standpoint of that it's not bad to clean it's not a hard thing to go through the bigger the mess the better, we need to reprogram our thinking and thank you for that. Thank you for helping this sweet lady, she needs the help. People just don't know what it's like once you have health issues and things have gotten to a point where you can't do it and still do life. The fresh reset is all she needs and then she can start her life over again. Prayers.
My sister is a single mom. She moved and wasn’t able to fully unpack and move into her home due to lack of time. I flew to her new house and not only deep cleaned every corner, I made sure she had all of the utensils, food, and supplies she needed to have all of the basics covered. I even did laundry, folded it all, took the car to get fully cleaned inside and out, and disinfected all the baby toys and bottles. She was so grateful but it also made me happy to know she was good! I love cleaning and I love these videos.
I wish I’d found you earlier in my life Auri! I struggle with mental health issues and my flat got like this last year. I was given this flat when I left an abusive relationship and had to spend some time in a womens centre. I live alone, I couldn’t make friends because I could not invite them in. I was alone and isolated, and sometimes even suicidal. Eventually my family staged an intervention and helped me to clean. I still struggle though - I realised through watching your videos, it’s because I’m so mean to myself when there is a mess, so instead of cleaning I end up making more mess. The way you say the mess is “amazing” fills me with hope and your compassion is inspiring. I am now not so scared of picking up the rubbish - now I call it “trashes” and smile a little to myself. Thank you for everything you do, for the people you clean did but also for us as viewers! ❤
Yes, I think us judging ourselves and being mean is so destructive, instead of being "Well done! You cleaned that part of the home! You picked up those "trashes". Great! 💖". It's important not to be so hard on ourselves. I usually put on some good music, or some audiobooks, and then I get so into the music, or the book, that I forget that I'm cleaning, and suddenly I have cleaned a lot more than I thought I were able to do. Auri is so inspiring. I always feel like cleaning after watching one of her videos! Happy to hear that your family helped you out! Hope you will feel better soon!
When I do a deep clean in my house I call my sisters and say, “I just went all Aurikatariina on my bathroom!” Or bedroom or kitchen etc. Thank you for inspiring us all, and helping us find joy in cleaning!
My mother was depressed most of the time during my childhood,but she always kept the house clean, cooked food and never projected her sadness or anger towards us, she was always polite and gentle with us. Now I understand, especially how strong she was,I am a mother of two and now I know it's so difficult without depression also, she did all that with her state and even more better than me. This year on mother's Day I thanked her and was so proud and grateful of her that she was strong for us in her tough time, I asked what can I do for her reply will stay with me always, She said " I don't need anything, I want u to be happy and strong in your life and I want only one thing from u and that is the care, love and kindness I gave to u, I want u to pass on that to my grandchildren and to all the people around u she said spread love, care and kindness." Her words touched my soul.I am blessed to have her in my life and my children's life.
Dear beautiful girl, Aurikatariina! Your are not only a cleaner of people's houses and flats, but also a cleaner of their souls! You give people a new start, this is extremely valuable!))
Hey, 11 year old Daxx here. For a while I have struggled a lot with depression. I know I’m young, but a lot has been happening in my life. I fell victim to sexual misconduct by a loved one. I’m not sure what category it would go in, but I will save the details. I’ve also been a common victim of bullying. Due to depression and anxiety, my room is always a mess. It never got horribly bad, as you could still see the floor, but dirty clothes where covering it just a bit. Your videos have always helped me earn motivation to keep going and also clean up my surroundings a bit. People like you give me hope that maybe this world isn’t so awful after all.
I hope you're safe and seen and loved now. I'm sending you strenght. This world is indeed beautiful but as you know very well, it takes strenght to continue seeing that beauty.
I'm from the United States & was watching a cleaning company from the US. I was disappointed because they just weren't doing a thorough job. I kept thinking Aurikatatrina would have done this or that. They didn't even wash the black left behind on the doors from dirty hands. I appreciate the work you do & let me add I've learned many methods from you. Thank you...
I found Pam Young and Peggy Jones "The Slob Sisters", when they had their cable TV show "Cleaning Up Your Act." They had A.D.D. and really wanted nice homes, but just didn't have any system or schedule (and Good Housekeeping Magazine wasn't the answer). They set up a system of 3x5 cards in a file system and got started on Daily things. It grew into a business for them.
I am always shocked at the quality and resiliency of the fixtures. Half the time around here, you scrub a bit too hard and you end up taking as much of the finish off as the grease you were trying to scrub off. Drives me crazy.
Honestly! They are perfect for cleaning!! Especially the kitchen and bathroom, I'm amazed by how they can be rinsed and scrubbed so easily. The only thing I am not a huge fun of is that somehow all the houses look the same. But I'm probably biased because for my country that's super unusual.
Me too! I wish I had a drain in my bathroom. It seems weird to have a washing machine there though. I’d be worried about electrics and water together but they’re obviously safe as most of the bathrooms seem to have one. I’m from the UK and our washing machines are usually in the kitchen
@@eternalconfusion6226 Yes, all of the apartments look like they were designed by the same architect. Tiny, efficient, but no character. I've lived in a lot of apartments, and none of them looked anything like any of the others.
For me, the feeling of loneliness is what dominates these videos, not the lack of cleanliness . These people live in a society, and yet they reach this state, without family, friends, or neighbors but you go out of your way to help and it's a great job what you do. As for the viewers, I know that often people care about their own affairs and get busy with life, but try to check on your family and friends. Try to get to know your neighbors and co-workers closely. Don't let the people in your circle fall to this depth without anyone seeing or helping them.
It's true. But I think some of these people reach a point where they don't want anyone at their homes because they may be ashamed or don't want anyone criticizing or judging them or pitying them.
@@13101s Same here. After years I realised that my cleaning related difficulties resultes from the abusive remarks of my mother in the childhood, when my work was never enough and even when I tried so hard, home was never perfectly cleaned for her. She is still doing these hurting comments and I am always afraid when she is about to visit me... but happily I distanced from her a lot, moved 200 km far away, so that her visits are not frequent. I know it is not easy, but really you don't have to listen these abusive opinions in your own house, especially that it comes from your quests - their goal should be to just meet you, spend the time together, not checking on cleanliness of your appartement, please remember it and be strong. I am with you 🙌💛
I had a friend with bi polar disorder. When she went on the medication she stopped smiling and became very quiet. We just treated her with respect and care. Dont worry about saying someone is old. I am 64 years old and I consider myself fortunate to be the age I am. You are such a sweet young lady to help these people. Thanks for this episode.
Sometimes when I clean, I make believe I'm you Auri and that I am making a video like you! It helps me to get through and keep my house in good order. It even makes cleaning a little more fun.
My best friend's sister really struggles with keeping her apartment clean because she works so much so my best friend and I are going to stay with her and help her deep clean her apartment! Aurikatarina you taught me how to clean quickly and efficiently, what products and tools to use when and where and you give us all inspiration to give her a fresh start for Christmas and the New Year ❤️
@@Asa...S exactly! I kind of consider her a sister as well since we're all so close and she has struggled with cleaning and general cleanliness for as long as I've known her so I'm going to teach her all of the tricks I've learned from Aurikatarina and a few of my own lol. I have a toddler and we usually have about the same amount of free time so I'm going to teach her tricks to use every day for maintenance cleaning too
Many of your viewers say your videos help them clean, for me it helps me NOT clean. I have an issue with anxiety related compulsive cleaning, and your videos are genuinely so helpful at reminding me it's ok to have some mess.
@@khaoulakhellas9322 Not necessarily. Plus everyone has a different definition of mess. Mine is a couple plates in the sink and mail on the counter. That's the issue
I love watching your videos! My boyfriend and I do big cleans, decluttering, organising for clients but we charge. I wish I had the time and energy to do it for free like you. What a wonderful person you are spreading happiness and giving people their peace back. I definitely need to buy a scrub daddy now for my kitchen and each bathroom. I deserve that Christmas treat right ?! I watch your videos all the time especially before going to a clients. Today I’m going a one off free clean for a single my with cancer 😢 she deserves to have a clean and happy home for Christmas 🎄 ❤
Auri and Midwest Magic along with Barbie and the other people they work with are the only ones I will trust. Nobody coming in with a persnickety, judgy mindset is going to make any content I care about because simply cleaning is not the point at all.
I thank God I have never been this depressed or hating myself so much that thiis has never happened to me! Glad you enjoy cleaning for those who can't! Keep scrubbing!
OMG your transformations are unreal. The stains you are able to get out. The work you do is just invaluable to those people. Wish I could be more like you.
I love your videos, because they give me energy to clean. But what I like the most is how respectful and with dignity you talk about the people whose houses you clean and the state their houses are in. That makes me like your videos even more!
I’ve been cleaning a hoarders house and it is absolutely atrocious, when I watch your videos you make it looks so easy, I congratulate you for doing such an amazing job, I know how hard it is
I'm amazed at how excited Auri continues to be about the dirt after all this time, she's truly doing a great work helping people and posting these process videos for us to be inspired and get excited about cleaning
You did another miraculous job. About the owner, if she is bi-polar and on medication, it could be the medication that is affecting her responses. I have heard people describe the medication as “flattening” their feelings and emotions. While it may control the symptoms they do not like the side effects. I am sure she is very pleased with the beautiful clean home.
So exciting to see you beautify this kitchen for the owner. Your act of kindness may be the very thing that helps lift any sense of hopelessness she may be struggling with. You spread a lot of joy!
Great job as always!!! You have no idea how you motivate others!!! Especially me! You are the reason why I started to clean for others but I’m in US❤️ you and your job gave me new dreams and new goals. Now I think about this job as my third kid! ❤️❤️❤️ I wish all the best!
Both of you inspire me! I’ve been a housekeeper most my life, & whenever I think I’m burnt out, I watch one of your videos & get in the groove again. Thank you!
You are one of my favorite youtubers!Thank you so much for this great content and your beautiful and gentle way of telling people's stories , nobody should ever judge anyone. Always put yourself in other people's shoes , you never know what goes behind closed doors . Anyone who reads this - I wish you happy holidays , love , best mental and physical health🫂❤️
Hi Auri, I just want to share my story because I feel a lot better thanks to you. I have a very sweet mom amazing mom but she is not good at cleaning and never learned it and has difficulties throwing anything. I try to learn it to them but its difficult, she does not see the house is too full, dusty and mixes cat hygiene with humans... I feel finally she and my dad accepted a cleaner which I picked to help them too since it is too overwelhming for me to do all alone. Everytime I come I do something small. This weekend I cleaned the doors upstairs and donate my old clothes and dusted some shelves. Next time I will go to kitchen and check for more expired food and try to organise a part. Your videos make me realise it can better over time and now I hope i will see a small change in better for future times :).
I am always amazed by you! The way you handle such a mess is beautiful, you are such a light for these people who cannot help themselves, but deserve a new start! Be blessed!
You never fail to make me smile Aurikatarina. You are a golden soul and an earth angel. Beautiful inside and out. And you bring joy and hope all over the world. A modern day Wonder Woman ✨❤️ loved watching this and your enthusiasm is contagious. Especially loved your wish for really smelly, rotten things. Hilarious. 💃 Keep on being you beautiful lady 😊
1:07 is a perfect visual for why living in a home in this state can be so dangerous. When there is no safe place to put hazardous things like knives they can get stacked and they can fall and hurt you! You not only helped her mind and spirit with this clean but also her health and safety! Bless you 💗
Sometimes when my home gets so messy and dirty and I can not bring myself to clean up, I watch your videos cause they really make cleaning sound fun and give me the strength to handle the mess. Thank you for your positivity and the work you do for any of us in so many ways ❤
Hi, Auri! 😊 I don’t think you are being rude by describing someone as old. I don’t mind it and think people shouldn’t too. You’re amazing! I loved the part of the video when you scraped the glass of the oven, so incredible! 😮
Dear Aurikatariina, you make me appreciate underappreciated jobs so much more. It is no secret that cleaning is often underappeciated but through I can see the fun and importance in what you do and makes it possible for me to transfer that to other occupations that are often seen as unimportant. Your videos are amazing
Thank you again for recommending Scrub Daddy! After about 6 months I have finally worn out my first Scrub Daddy, after a LOT of scrubbing. I bought 3 more!
Have you tried power paste? After watching her a couple years ago I decided I needed to give it a shot. Oh my goodness it's amazing you won't regret it!!!
I have never seen a more uniformly dirty living space. This is a doozy. Auri, you are an angel. Can't wait to see next week's video. My friend and I opened and spring cleaned her sister's beach house one year when she and her husband were having health problems. We had a free weekend at the beach. I love to clean too.😊
You are so awesome and you help so many people . The kitchen looked beautiful and can’t wait to see the other rooms as well . I’m sure the owner is very happy and thankful for your help :)
Can we just take a minute to appreciate how much she's helped the people❤❤❤ Edit:Thanks for all the likes! Edit2:everyone is saying it's not the world so I changed it to people sorry
I just wanted to let you know that you are awesome and so beautiful happy positive loving person that I see, not like the other that talks down on the house that they clean it...but you are better than all and truely best cleaner in the world...to make it fun, you have made it in my heart to clean and learn. Thank you so much for being you
I wish I had the passion you have! You seem to see the positive when you clean! When I see a mess that is beautiful, as you would put it, I lose motivation and I have to push through to clean it, you're a great person, Auri!
Another great job Dear wish we had someone like you here in Australia my friend who works with ppl with disabilities of either physical or mental has client whose house is like those you clean and professional cleaners have refused to clean it sadly You are a true Angel for these ppl Bless you xx
Last video you gave me the solution for my lazyness cleaning problem: washing the clothes everytime. I hated to stop the cleaning to wash the clothes, and it hurt my hand. But now that I know that I can have a lot of clothes and wash them all at once in the washing machine, MY LIFE IS SAVED! Thanks for being a light in this world!
How can one single person tidy up & clean such a huge apartment in 2 days?? I'm baffled, mine is 1/2 the size of it & can't imagine doing that myself.. Hats off! 🏅✨
So true!! I watched many many other channels, and Auri is really the best. It’s amazing! She knows exactly what product she needs for each task. I also noticed that other cleaners use so many more products and tools, Auri basically does 90% of her work with three products. Absolutely professional, it’s so satisfying to watch her!!
I love your kindness in donating your time to help all of these people's life! So kind!💕 Also could you tell me where I can find a pair of the pink gloves like you wear? My Aunt is a pink freak 😂 lol and I would love to get her a pair.
There was a time that I was on a strong dose of meds for pain and one day I was with my daughter and she started crying because I didn't laugh anymore. There is definitely a balance between quality of life and meds for me now.
You are lucky to do your job you can see what a huge difference there is once you’ve cleaned the homes , I just hope none of the people go back to their old ways
I love how you take time out of your life to help others! You are amazing. Also please keep doing to music. I love finding new songs and your taste is amazing !!! Love you girly!!
You have the best outlook in life. The trash and mess are horrifying to most people in the world. But to you, you genuinely love it. You are an amazing person with a great heart. I think God, if you are Christian, or Oden if you are Norse, will love having you to brag about🤗🤗
She has a video she made earlier this year in which she explains the how and why of her understanding mental health issues. And God does NOT brag about any human, none, nobody, which is clearly evident if you read the Bible with understanding. Many scriptures show that no human being has anything about themselves to be proud of, and nothing of which they/we should boast! He loves despite ourselves, but He doesn't play any kind of "favorites," and very clearly states so!
I do not comment on videos I don’t even sign my google account in but I had too for this. I have serve diagnosed depression as well as I have anxiety ocd related cleaning behaviours so it’s a constant war battle between my house being chaos and living along side so much clutter and disorganization to it being perfectly spotlessly clean where I will clean for days and spend all day cleaning washing baseboards and my walls cleaning things I’ve already cleaned and not being satisfied etc etc and it’s utterly exhausting being consumed by stuff like this but your videos I don’t know they just help me in ways I don’t even understand. Thank you for helping so many people take their life’s. Happy holidays to you and your family Aurikatariina 💙
I'm leaning myself a little bit out of the window, but my guess is: Eva suffers from severe depression. My mother had the same symptoms and she had bipolar disorder (being in depression mode 99% of the time).
