Son inherits a hoarded house. Let's clean it! 

A side note I thought about as I watched this video. If you are a parent with adult children and you have a home filled with things that you’re keeping so that you can pass them down to your kids, go through those things NOW and ask your kids if they want those things. If your kid says no, get rid of it, and reclaim those spaces or rooms for your own purposes. ❤

There are many things I appreciate about this channel: your compassion for people with hoarding disorders and other mental illnesses, your deadpan snark, and your willingness to hire chipmunks. Most people wouldn't, you know. There's a real anti-chipmunk bias out there in the workforce.

The way that you explained a deceased persons view of an item, for those who have faith in an afterlife or not, was brilliant. Better than any psychologist I’ve ever heard. God put you here to do this work.

To the fella that lives here I am so sorry you lost your Mom. Truely. You are making some healing choices with your weight loss and your brave decision to declutter. I know this can be painful. You are so strong. I hope you feel lighter. Wishing you peace and comfort.❤

I lived with a hoarder for over 50 yrs. His famous saying to me was after he died I could clean everything up-all his stuff. He passed away on a Thursday and by the following Tuesday everything was clean and it’s been that way since. Our youngest son made probably more than nine dump trips. Any of his clothes that were good went to Goodwill. His famous saying was he might need it someday about all the crap that he kept. A lot of resentment on my behalf, but time heals those wounds. Hoarding is a terrible disease.

My mom passed away 6 months ago. She stayed with us and she was a bit of a hoarder, things she had for more than 30 years. It was very emotional to me to sort out her room,and it took me 2 months to complete it, because of getting emotional everytime I started, but I knew I had to do it. I only kept a few sentimental things and all her books she wrote in and her poems she wrote

Cleaning out my moms house after her and my brother passed away was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I'm sure this guy could breathe easier and relax after you helped him.

It's a good reminder for parents to declutter before they age too much, to be easier on everyone involved, them in their old age for getting around, the kids to not be left with a burden, and anyone else involved in preparing the home for the next step. I say this with love. ❤

You're a kind guy, Rhianna. Another awesome cleaning job from the heart. I wish the owner the best. This was a sad one.

I wish for that man comfort, happiness, a serene heart, and peace of mind. Letting go of all his mom's stuff will help him on his long journey of recovery. Your understanding and sensitivity to his situation and struggles make you uniquely suited to this work. I'm glad your RU-vid channel is so successful so you can continue this work.

Impressive work. I hope he will feel much better in his recovery in a cleaner home, he deserves a good life after so much tragedy and hardship.

I'm here on a post break-up sleepless night, and you made me loose it with the bit about you cleaning pantsless!! 😂😂😂 You have a killer sense of humor & delivery, not to mention generosity. An all around amazing human being.😇

This video brought back so many memories for me. My grandmother in law was a hoarder (depression era baby), and she was so bad she'd save the plastic containers cakes came in from the grocery store, washed cups from fast food places (yes, cardboard ones), and so on. EVERYTHING had a story and if you tried to throw anything away, she'd go to the garbage can and pick it back out. Her daughter, my MIL, was the same. EVERY single bouquet of flowers her husband of fifty years ever bought her was found still in the vases dried out all in the garage and dining room table of her house. Every outfit, pair of shoes, purse, old medications, make up, etc...nothing was tossed. When both she and my GIL passed, it took us weeks to go through everything and discard it. My husband passed two years ago, and I'm finally getting to the finish line on clearing out the garage that was his man cave (I absolutely wouldn't deal with all the stuff in the house). It's so very sad that this condition exists for people; husband, MIL and GIL all would go into serious break down and get extremely defensive if you tried to even talk to them about clearing out some of the clutter. I even feel guilty that I'm giving away or tossing out my husband's belongings that I don't need/want due to the memories of his and his family's reactions of the past. My heart goes out to the homeowner here and I pray he can find some peace now.

Ty so much for your pointers regarding things and grief. You are a true gem and I completely agree. I was widowed in 1998, so I ain’t blowing smoke. Truly. Well done you. 🇬🇧

Dear Rhianna Pantsless Playing With Nineties Toys Johnny from Seattle, Your heart is so kind. Everything you did in that house (and all your houses) was aimed at making the client feel better. My prayer for this guy is that this will motivate him to move forward with decluttering everything and to continue to lose weight. He’s obviously such a strong guy to have done so much considering all of the challenges he’s had to face. Your decluttering and his significant weight loss is so symbolic (literally and figuratively) of lightening the load or burden. You’re helping free him from a heavy prison. Love your videos and look forward to seeing more in this house next week. 😃

This week I cleaned my house using the Midwest-Magic-Cleaning method, by looking only at 1 square meter and clearing that, before moving on to the next. It helped a lot. Mind you, we have decluttering our house last year because we didn't want to let our kids having this burden when the eventual thing is going to happen and we're going to hell. But when you've still got 2 (of our 5) kids living in the house (both adults) and their friends coming over regularly, our house always seems full, so it's nice that my closets and cabinets and store rooms are neat ... and stay neat.

I cannot wait for part 2!!!! As a current cancer patient… I can tell you I’d give ANYTHING if someone did this for me.

Not only is it cathartic to watch you cleaning but your sense of humor is so much fun!😂

It’s so good to see you helping more people, I think you’re a natural at it. You have the heart & the will to do it all! Great job!

I hope you donated all the good stuff as it does look amazingly clean!

That is so awesome seeing the carpets. They look really good.

I really love this format where you narrate the story over the video, interspersed with your humor and the sped up sounds of the cleaning. Much prefer this to the musical background of prior videos. Thank you for all you do. You are an inspiration.

How satisfying seeing all those items going to dumpster!! That’s a whole lot spaces you guys just gave back to the person! This is incredible! I am sure he can breathe much better! 🎉

I just want to thank you. I purchased my grandpa's home 4 weeks before he passed and he was a sentimental hoarder. Going through his things has been the most difficult, emotional journey I have ever been on. I have not even been able to unpack my stuff because he has a lifetime in here already, and I couldn't understand why everything was so difficult to get rid of. I literally cried the entire time you explained that I am not disrespecting his memory if I part with something of his, and this was the most affordable therapy session I didn't know I needed. So genuinely, THANK you.

Dude it's super cool and unique that not only do you clean pants-less, but also speak in a chipmunk voice when you clean. I love this channel! ❤❤❤

Thank you for another video. You have so much empathy for people who find themselves in situations such as these. I can identify with this person’s situation. I lost both my parents to cancer - my mother 26 years ago and my father 18 years ago. Throw in my house burning down 8 years ago and then losing my 17 year old dog a week before being in lockdown for 6 months in 2020 and I have a hard time dealing with the loss and grief. Even though I have had years of therapy nothing seems to shift the pain. I feel that maybe I will never get over it all but have to keep on going anyway. I hope this man finds some peace in the future. Thank you so much for caring. Until next time, take care 😘💕🙏🇦🇺.

Congratulations on the membership! And thanks for the inspiration!

I so appreciate you sharing your philosophy on how to deal with difficult decisions when dealing with their (and the family's) life's possessions for them. All at once you described how difficult it is and how kind and heartfelt your thoughts on it are.

Jus FABULOUS guys!! Well done! 🥰

Thank you for helping people's anxiety by clearing out the clutter. These people can finally take a lungful of fresh air and relief after being in a state of perpetual dread.

You made a comment about the living room. Well, one is the formal living room, where you entertain your guests.the other room is family room, explains it self. Great job

You did an amazing job as always 👏👏👏 Hats off to the guy who called you though! He's making some really tough decisions on shifting the junk from his home & his trunk & commiting to following through & that's so hard to do but so rewarding in the end! I know you go through every item but I don't think I could let you go though all my stuff without me there, I have trust issues from people who have helped me tidy in the past when I've been struggling & overwhelmed & the minute they thought I wasn't looking, they threw away piles without going through it & I ended up looking like a crazy woman going through the bags in the bin just to save a couple of small but irreplaceable items 🙈 it's motivation not to let it get that bad again though so it's all good ☺️

My mother was also diagnosed with Cancer at 84. My son and I sat with her, pen and paper in hand and wrote down what she wanted done with her things. She stated she didn't care what was done, that it was up to us to distribute the items. We both had talked to her about donating her clothing and other household items to a woman's shelter and she agreed. Her other son was livid that he wasn't included in her will and made the rest of us (2) remember WHY. 🙄 🤦

You are doing such an important thing to this guy. Just imagining that he lived with a hoarder mother, lost both parents and fighted against cancer...wow, it's a lot. I hope he feels better in his own home.

This is such a kindness. We all deal with a passing so differently and have different needs. I lost my dad suddenly this past august and his wife threw away most of his belongings without me and my siblings, she just cleaned everything out. In my country she’s can’t legally do that because we all own everything collectively, but she didn’t care. My point is, I feel cheated out of processing some of my grief by sorting through his clothes, finding things I forgot about, his old watches, favourite shirts etc. To me, that would have felt therapeutic and a last sort of closeness with my dad

Really enjoyed the dumpster scene! And also, thank you for all your commentary through the video and not playing obnoxious music. It always makes it more interesting when you’re talking and then throwing in hilarious jokes in between!

Relief: I was feeling stressed about the Longaberger baskets....glad you found a use for them.

Parents, please, please please do not do this to your children! I don't care if you are 25 years old with toddlers, 40 years old with teens, or everyone is now full-grown adults. Clean out your closets. Clean out your basements. Give your kids a week to collect what they want. 99% of your 'collectibles' are worthless and no one wants them Just. Get. Rid. Of. It. Thank you!

Intergenerational trauma is the pits. Best wishes for the homeowner ❤ Thanks Rhianna!

😊😊Going thru a hoarded house really made me realize that I needed to clear out my own home while I am able as a gift to my family.

She spent quite a bit of money in Longenberger baskets, ceramics, and such.

My mom passed away 2 years ago at 90 years old. It still feels surreal to me some days and I can understand wanting to keep things. What really helped me with being able to get rid of things throughout my life was going through Hurricane Andrew in 1992. We lost our home and everything in it. Basically had to start over. I was 19. After that, it was easier for me not to hang on to too many things. Can’t wait to see what 90’s toys you find in that closet lol. Also, very much looking forward to a suck it shirt 😂❤

Wow, that house is a flashback to the '70s!

What a great service you provide!

Amazing as always. I always run to watch your uploads. Thank you for your humor but also your heart. It's so nice that your son is helping and sees this as an example. Just wow 🥺 You do incredible work 💗

This is gonna do so much for his quality of life. Good work!

Great job. I see you must have donated tons of things, since it would have taken a dozen of those dumpsters to trash all that stuff. One aspect that made this so much easier is that the house was not filthy, just cluttered. Thank you for helping this poor man.

You did an awesome job on that home.

Good job! You still have alot of work to do. I know he will feel so much better , when you get everything out that needs to go.

5:25 this was such great information and something I needed to hear. I find it really hard to throw out things that were gifts and other sentimental things like that. I feel like I need to keep them because they are special, even though I don't want most of them. This was the spin kick to the head I needed. Thank you!

I wish my parents would do some Swedish death cleaning lol. They have so much stuff.

You are an absolute blessing what a job you really helped that guy what a lot of stuff fantastic job x

She had an impressive amount of Longaberger baskets. Hope you saved them. They’re bound to continue to rise in value considering Longaberger is defunct and no longer producing.

I want to thank you for all you do. I am the great procrastinator when it comes to housework but when I see you fast-forward cleaning spurs me on to get my act together. I try to clean in fast-forward mode but I normally just pick a spot and I don't do anything else until it's done. Then I congratulate myself with knitting on a blanket I'm making for my son. Again, thank you for all you do.

OMGoodness, I LOVE your humor!!!! Dogs in cupboards! LOL 😂

You guys really do get in detailed cleaning. Awesome job.

my husband and I either sell things or give away things. It is amazing when you put stuff out in front with a big sign FREE how fast some of the stuff goes. All things sold, the money goes to our charity, Friends of Burma. I suggest taking a picture of some of the things that might have sentimental value and then keep the photo and sell or give the item.

I found you by accident in one of my “recommended“ videos. It was the one where you cleaned that old woman’s houses kitchen for free. I was mesmerized and your heart is so compassionate. Now I’m hooked, I don’t have to watch AMC‘s “hoarders“ anymore, I’ll just watch you you’re more personable. Just wanted to drop you a comment. I have subscribed.

I recently discovered your channel and I'm obsessed. I enjoy cleaning, I'm a hotel housekeeper and I try to keep my home clean. I have 3 kids though, 1 adult and 2 teens that live at home so its not always easy. But you help motivate me and you are hilarious. I also inherited my house. My mom was a hoarder and I've had to clean it numerous times over the years we lived here before she passed. I just wanted to thank you for being so kind and funny!

I live in MA.I grow lime and grapefruit trees from seed. They stay in house when its freezing out and they go out side for summer.

You made a mighty effort. The laundry machines opposite each other was hilarious.

This is overwhelming to watch, I can't imagine how overwhelming to clean it out

This was a task that was surely a decision maker on everything you came in contact with. The human mind us a complicated one,yet, we deal with it. I once cleaned a woman's home,even though small in size,she had collected much. Yet, when we were finished, she had the most essential things and important as a NEED, not a WANT, I am AMAZED how you have a great technique to cleaning. Past experiences, I have learned, helping someone declutter it's essential to understand their situation. Thanks for the cleaning techniques. Since I came across your first video I watched I now look forward to your next challenge. You definitely have a good soul ,doing this kind of work,and you don't make it all about money like some others do. Great job.

I don't envy your task - even when you're related to the person, it's hard to know what they valued and what was just impulse buying. You all did a great job & saved her heir a load of grief.

You are an absolute hero and inspiration.

Cleanliness is a sign of faith. Like to watch your video. May Allah guide you to Islam. Ameen

It is very sad when someone dies. We cleared our parents' house of 50 years. They weren't messy and my mother went first and my father then had the whole place repainted and new windows and decking before he got sick but after 50 years inthe same place you have so much stuff. I would encourage everyone to have very special family things like old photos and papers somewhere clearly marked so they are not lost. My father had an 1867 letter to his grandfather from his grandfather's father and 1890s photos which are now in my house and also scanned. The first thing I cleared out was my father's incontinence pads. Every cupboard I opened had clean packs of them. It was like fantasia film - you cut some down and more appear. Then I personally unscrewed and pulled out the whole of the chair lift. I think I wanted the house removed of all evidence of those awful years of decline and back to the happy home of healthy people it used to be.

Loved every second of this video, from the wisdom to the humour to the cleaning to the ASMR. Subscribed!

Just found your channel. I am watching it with interest. When I see a hoarder house and someone is walking around with no shoes and white socks, well, just gotta keep watching. Thanks, I am chuckling.

Appreciate the serious nature this of this lesson, with a tad of humor on the side. Need that humor to survive. Thanks for helping. ... Glenda

I'm a new subscriber and have been watching quite a few of your videos. I must praise you and your crew for doing such a good job on difficult situations. I have worked in physical therapy 30+ years and have done home health for 20 if those years. Please next time you come across walkers or canes/crutches that are not bent or broken donate them as someone will get use out of them. Medical equipment can be expensive and insurance does not always cover the costs. I do love your sense of humour☺️

Bless your heart for helping others.

Came for the cleaning and stayed for the best dad jokes I’ve ever heard

Best wishes to the home owner and such a successful weight loss story. I loved seeing that dumpster fill up. The home must feel so wonderful for the home owner now.

I use lemon oil on stainless sinks, faucets, and the inside of shower doors after cleaning. It helps keep hard water from building back up in the shower and on faucets and makes shinys. Plus, it smells nice. 😊

Me looking at those expensive Longaberger baskets …. Oh man, the Longaberger dishes too. The resale is high if he doesn’t keep them.

I wish you were in Oklahoma. I need someone like you at my house. I don't have a hoarding situation but my house just got out of my control with my health and you are so understanding

i’m super grateful to have come across this video. which oddly enough was while i was cleaning my house lol. it just auto played like the algorithm knew i was cleaning. 😅 i’ll def be sharing these tips while i’m helping to clean my parents stuff which includes some of their parents stuff still. i enjoy helping them to declutter. and i know it’s less stressful for me since i don’t have the same memories or any memories attached to some of the items. we are still slowly cleaning out my brothers stuff too. he passed 3 years ago. so i will keep what you said in mind❤

We found a large deep freeze full of food in my MIL’s laundry room-a laundry room we had been using for years. We were stunned. There was so much clothing piled up in there and hanging everywhere. When she went into the nursing home we started cleaning out the hoarded house and that’s when we uncovered the packed deep freeze. Crazy!!!

Good point about positive and negative feelings from client about inherited possesstions.

The Pantless Cleanin' Johnny bit had me laughing loudly alone in my apartment 😂🏆

you were a little harsh to creepy doll faces don't ya think? LOL! 🤣 I love the commentary - and great advice.

LONGABERGER BASKETS! I hope they didn’t go in the dump.

Alright! Getting my MMC fix! 😀

Bless you for what you do to help these families. This one hit close to home... we are at the tale end of cleaning out my in-laws house. My MIL passed away last year and then my FIL passed away at the end of June. He was a hoarder. He had piles and piles and piles of papers. It was him that was the hoarder. I thought it was bad until I watched some of your hoarder cleaning videos. My husband and BIL just wanted to "throw everything away" and they did for the most part. I like to have a few trinkets from them because I remember them and cherish my relationship with them. We had a wrench thrown in because both my in-laws were heavy smokers so that was also a reason to throw so much away. Anything we brought home we have to store in the garage for awhile hoping the smoke smell goes away. Any tips on getting rid of smoke smell?

The delivery of your jokes is incredible lmaoooooo

Rhianna you goofy as hell 😂 I appreciate you

I love to clean. In fact, cleaning anything is my favorite thing to do lol. You are so funny tho I can't stop watching your videos.

You make me laugh ... love your humour. Perfect to lighten up after solid advice sessions for us watching.. your channel is my favourite new discovery...

Wow watching this and listening to this story brings me right into the same category I myself lost my mom with cancer ten years ago and I am the same way I got everything of hers and I don't want to get rid of things that belonged to her but in my case there was no estate it was just household items and knick-knack galore which I still have pretty much everything but I'm trying to lighten the load because my house is declining so I feel that gentlemans pain😢 I do have siblings but they do not bother with me or talk to me since my mother's death and my father's been gone long before my mother so it does get pretty sad and lonely and thank God for a guy like you helping him out . I've been trying to get an aide to come in but seems like everything keeps getting turned down which does not make no sense when I can barely walk or stand up. Thank God I have my little puppy he has been a lifesaver crazy with nobody to talk to

My mother was like this (and unfortunately, all of us kids got a touch of it too). Part of my problem was that, while she was a hoarder (a very neat one), most of her things were really really nice! Her laundry room was full to the brim with to-go boxes, plastic bottle caps and recipe books, but she also had beautiful and unique art pieces, jewelry and furniture. It was so hard going through it all. I took so much and find myself letting go of a little more each year.

OMGOSH...All the longaberger baskets😳

You unexpectedly get me with that humor. I’ll be listening and then you throw one of those jokes out so unexpectedly and it cracks me up!😂😂😂. I’m enjoying your videos and gaining so much inspiration while I clean my house. Thanks for all you do!

Do you ever put things out on the wall or just at the end of your garden, that you think other people may be able to use. I do that and 90% of it gets taken away by someone who wants its - recycling at its best.

It's remarkably clean under the stuff

Great job helping someone in such need! Kick it!

Question: I’ve been an emotional collector for a while now…I’ve recognized this and tried to take it on in tiny bits….it’s just too overwhelming and I just get tired and plop down in my comfort space. So many unfinished projects. There is a woman who wants to rent one of my farm houses but it’s just so much. Anyhoo yes I’m a decade deep into therapy. Cheers and cheers. 😊

I'm exhausted after watching that! I'm going to go take a nap.

You are too funny! I’m serious…too funny. Stop it. Haha. :) I love your narration.

23:17 - me: "Did you see that?" 🤭 My boyfriend: Yup! he definitely paused to fart. Leaned into it a little too. "🤣
