The help that you provide to families is amazing. It’s a true fresh start for them. I wish you the best in this venture, and I hope my contribution helps a bit.
I dont know what to say to you that hasn't already been said. Between you, Bonnie and Mack, you are always spot on with your empathy and caring. I love how you talk about how the plight of life circumstances can send people off the rails. You are incredible.
@@sheelfjohnsonI hear a collab with Mac and Bonnie is hopefully going to happen and hopefully if it will work, another collab with Barbie and Mac possibly another time! Hoping it can happen! Always great to see our fav's putting their super powers together!!!
No apologies needed. Most of us have huge respect for what you are doing. We know you are getting paid. I’d never begrudge you pay for what you do. I make sure to watch to the end, like and comment.
Girl you are a GOD Send to those you help. Been cleaning for over 20 years. I should record what I do because it’s amazing what a clean home dose for a persons spirits.
I follow you because I like what you do, I follow several cleaning channels, I do not see the fun when other channels clean what is already clean, but hey, your channel your rules. I like what you do, apart from leaving the rooms incredible and in the best possible conditions, you give another chance to the people who live in them. That is a great gift and a wonderful opportunity. I thank you for that. You always have my like even before watching the video. 🤩👍❣
You rock Barbie! While this place is completely run down, you did an amazing job cleaning it! I will admit…had to cover my eyes with the dead mice parts…thanks for the warning 😊
Hi Barbie, I am subscribed and the notification bell is hit but I haven't seen notifications for your videos in a long time. This was the first one I have seen in a long time. I don't know if RU-vid did something or what. But you always do some of the best videos.
Cleaning is one thing, but getting out these stories is so much more impactful. I don’t mean to minimize the blessing you are to the disadvantaged people you're helping at all, but many people never know what others might struggle with. Your videos create insight and compassion. And hopefully more awareness and urgency to fix the societal issues that cause these situations to get out of hand. If I could think of one thing that might help you get more views, is to emphasize these bigger issues. Comment on how institutions let these people down. By not receiving medical care, not having maintenance done by landlords, not being able to make enough money to improve their situation. The alltogether destructive effect of being on the losing side of our individualized and fragmented societies, where falling through the cracks has become both easier and harder to recover from. Anyone of us could suffer a stroke of bad luck and be down and out faster than you'd like to believe. I hope your view and subscriber count improves so you can continue to bring these stories to light. Shine on Barbie!
I don’t understand why your viewership has not reached 100k either. I love your videos because they are REAL. Believe me, each resident is grateful for your help - cleaning, listening, supplies, whatever. You show you care by being there for them. It can’t look brand new every time since these apartments/houses are old and have had some damage done to them as well as wear and tear. Wonderful job as always. God bless you Barbie.🙏
@@anniewardlow9297I always like things I watch because it helps Channel's algorithms on YT. If I really feel it speaks to my interests then I subscribe too.😊
I agree! This was worth watching for the fridge cleaning alone! It looked almost brand new when she was done with it. I thought it was hopeless! Barbie has made me a believer!
@@michby Barbie L-O-V-E-S her job... really loves it! But when you love what you do for a living needs to pay. So, to do it for no charge it's the viewership, likes and Subs that YT wants in order to paying out. Sad! 🥺
I think it's good to show old houses getting clean, many people think that they have to be dirt broke but they don't think that they can be clean and poor which will enrich their lives more.
While I understand all types of people, from all walks of life are susceptible to depression, I just don't like seeing free cleanings done for those who i know can afford to hire. Not when so many others have no other option.
I enjoy these videos the most. The ones of the really trashed older homes and how you make them look so much better! It doesn’t have to be a new modern apartment to be satisfying. You took an old burnt out apartment in the projects and made it clean, safe, and livable. That’s a superpower. Don’t give up on your work, Barbie! You are needed!
Slumlord? Or slum tenant? Are the owners also responsible for cleaning? Should they come in and scrub the toilets and remove decades of trash? Should low income housing come with maid service? Give me a break.
Growing up I did live in old homes. 11 siblings I was 4th oldest. Cleaning older home’s aren’t as satisfying although what you do for others is such an act of loving kindness and I’m hoping others will see your purpose more than their gratification in the end!
Barbie I can’t imagine why you don’t get more views. You are among the best! I could never do what you do! So the apartment is old- you make it sparkle! The reality is that not everyone lives in a beautiful McMansion! Thank you for all you do!
Barbie. Thank you so much for helping out yet again. Here is a little something towards your expenses. I hope it will encourage others as I am sure that each little bit helps you to help others.
There are more people that we realize that have bathrooms and kitchens with old appliances and fixtures, and that could use some repairs and a fresh coat of paint. This is real life and families learn to make do with what they can't change or are willing to live with. I appreciate seeing real, unstaged clean ups. They're more relatable to me that some HG TV set up. You do your best with what you are presented, and it always looks good when you're done -- that's why we love and appreciate you!
In my opinion, your videos ARE the best videos! No one quite compares. I’d rather see these very real life scenarios and how you take them from completely unliveable to safe and secure. You’re the best.
You are not just an excellent cleaner Barbie. You care more about the people you help than you do about the success of your channel. This makes you one of the best cleaning channels available in my opinion. Keep up the good work, you are appreciated by your viewers and your clients alike.
I know some creators don’t like sponsors because they can limit what’s in their content…She’s free to do what she wants if she doesn’t take a sponsor ❤
You are my favorite cleaner! You clean the homes no one else would want to clean. Have you been offered any sponsorship from any cleaning products? That way you could continue to clean and you would get cleaning products for free. I hope your channel continues to grow and grow!!!
Yes, you are God sent. Shame on those who will not help those less fortunate, and do not have a pretty place. Home is home no matter how much or little a person has. It is cleaned and is still home to lthose who live there. Thank you for all you do Barbie. Hope you get more subscribers. God bless you and your family.
I think SOME dirty or hoarded homes are caused by landlords not keeping the properties nice . I have cleaned carpets repainted rooms replaced caulk in rentals in my past because i was a perfectionist. Living in ugly broken places made me depressed and low self esteem. there are beautiful properties people abuse and destroy and i feel sorry for those landlords . But sometimes living in ugly places makes people give up or get depressed.
another wonderful job, Barbie! i don't know why your channel isn't growing as fast as you'd like either. you are so great to want to help so many people with your free cleanings. most people don't live in brand new houses or apts. in fact, most of us probably live in older ones! i know i do. when there's mold inside the caulking, there's no way to get that out. one must strip off old caulk and replace with new and that's not something all of us can do on our own or afford hiring someone to do. this bathroom and the kitchen looked so amazing after you cleaned them. they were clean enough and healthy enough for the people to live in. there's nothing you can do about bad floors, walls, etc. i hope you can keep doing what you love and keep sharing it with those of us that appreciate you! you are loved!!
Are there any local youtubers who do renovation/restoration projects? Not for a collaboration necessarily but like an ongoing reference/partnership. You clean, they come in and paint/fix rotten boards, and then you both show the after?
WEll BarbieI think you doing great I was told from my parents .Take care off that what you got" So for me i rather watch you and Bonny and Mac because you care about ,,older" homes .Thats why I love you wonderfull magic People.Hope your son is doing better.Take care and safe .Love love love
Dear Family, You have been blessed by a very, VERY special woman who will take care of your home and touch your heart at the same time. I hope and pray that this little " jump start" that Barbie is giving you wild help you move forward in your life. Living in an unhealthy situation like this video shows was no place for someone recouping from sepsis should be staying. Take care of yourself and remember this quote which is my motto: "It's not your job to like me, it's mine!" Barbie... YOU ROCK! 👍 💝 🤟 Thank you for being you!
Excellent cleaning, as usual. You set a great example for anyone cleaning around mice: always wear a mask and gloves!! I'm waiting for that tee shirt," Oh Look! More Mice!🐀"😂😂
I would have a difficult time cleaning these apartments. I want to make it like new and I would be so frustrated that I couldn’t. Bless you for having the ability to make it clean and livable. .
The bathroom looks great! Fresh caulking and a coat of white paint, would take it over the top! We all have to do the best with what we’ve got. Cleaning makes everything feel better! You are such a blessing to so many people! Thank you for sharing your work. ❤
the other youtube shows have people with a big house and lots of possessions but there are plenty of people live in rental housing. I find the gluttony on show from hoarders really offensive, having so much and yet living in squalor! This person has big problems, living the best way they can - thank you for helping them. I hope their health improves and they can find the strength to live a happy, healthy life 💐
You are an amazing cleaner and you show real life in NYC. Personally, the background music gives me anxiety. But I just turn down the volume. Your voiceovers are fantastic. I especially love when you tell the residents story. Keep doing your thing. Your hard work is appreciated and it will reward you in unexpected ways!!!
I love your videos even the ones in old apartments. You can't help the walls or floors sometimes but overall they end up looking 100% better and I love this bathroom, the little added touches. You should be at 100 in no time. You're an expert cleaner and caring individual!! Come on people!! Give a girl a break!!
The sad thing is the company that owns these units don’t upgrade until the tenant is gone even if it is 20 yrs. the people in the company wouldn’t think of living in a place in this state. They just don’t care about other people. The quiet people that live in these places and can’t get the help they need. So sad and a bad commentary on mankind caring
Hello Barbie. I love your cleanings so much. These sick people need help and you bring them into their homes. You make it a home again. I admire you. I have watched and liked every video of you.Also subscribed. You Are great. ❤
Hello, Barbie! I think that you are absolutely right about the reason why the channel doesn't grow as much as others do. I think that most people like to see the before and after photos showing a complete and absolute change. For a lot of people that provides a mental relief when they see how something can change. I like those channels, but I also love to see how you help people to improve their living conditions, specially when, most of the time, they have no one else to help them. I really appreciate what you do, and what I think is that, maybe, you could alternate the kind of videos, so more people can see them and see what you do for these people. I don't know it was just an idea.
I also don’t understand why your channel isn’t growing faster. It doesn’t make sense to me. You’re by far my favourite to watch. Keep up with the RU-vid shorts and TikTok videos to hopefully draw more people to the channel. I’m sure it will happen. Until then, your loyal subscribers will continue to support you and wish you well xx
Ohhhh dear Barbie you are amazing! When I see the mouses ohhhh Lorde and the fridge😢you really clean ,because you take all away and clean !!! I really appreciate all your altruism! Hugs from Portugal
Barbie, do you furnish all of the cleaning supplies/equipment??? You work so hard to give the people a better life and clean house, may God Bless you for your patience/honesty and big heart.. you are a great person ❤❤
Barbie you are fantastic at what you do to help others. Every video I watched (just about all of them) yours always take it to the next level. Between giving of your time and your expense for cleaning the items and some items for the people you help. You are a Miracle worker when you help those is a little help. God Bless you.
This homeowner has been through some horrendous times. Wishing them a quick and speedy recovery. Barbie you have given them a fantastic reset, like you do with everyone. You are such a wonderful blessing to so many including this RU-vid family. Thanks for everything you do. Hope your son is better. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️👏👍💪🤞🙏💐🐀
What I would love to see is a home owner/renter actually help her clean! Maybe they have never been really taught how to really keep a house. But I understand the housing authority. If they have a house that looks like this why would they want to give them something brand new and have it end up in this condition.
Dear Barbie you are indeed an angel, as if I were to clean even a small mess like this, I would go through a hundred tubs of Lysol wipes lol So that I never have to rinse a sponge/microfiber cloth or launder microfiber
You deserve more subs for the amazing work you do Barbie. This lady is truly thankful for the step forward that you have given her. I hope she keeps getting better. Thank you Barbie for your channel, not only does it help those in need but shows us all how a little ( or a lot ) kindness can turn someone's life around. Stay well 💚🐝
Barbie I just love what you do!!!!! Even the older places look so amazing after!!! You help so many!!!! Amazing job!! Thanks so much for blessing others!! I hope everyone views your videos and comments!!!!
@@LadyAurora10Yes, unless they’ve been “ill” for 30 years. I know so many “ill” people with perfectly acceptable homes. This is an insult to them, to say that mental illness causes this. I also have had a friend and a family member who don’t clean and don’t care and their homes look exactly like these homes. It’s the way they live that causes this, thus lifestyle. What they value determines how they spend their time, thus lifestyle, again. My opinion and what I’ve seen with my own eyes.
@@Mrs.TJTaylorIt's not an insult, it's reality. To some ill people their illnesses DO CAUSE severe problems with taking care of their environment. It's very common symptom. You think anyone living like this would be fine and healthy? That's absolutely absurd. Some people have this terrible need to demonize ill people being just "lazy" or having "low morale" or something like that. It's vile. It's actually way worse of a personality flaw than being messy for x / y / z reasons. I bet they are better people than all of you who are just judging them. You obviously don't know anything about mental illnesses. Educate yourself.
Can’t imagine that you are not growing your channel. Your videos are amazing. I love the old homes you clean. First time I saw your channel I thought you were in a 3rd world country. I couldn’t believe we had apartments like this in the US. Keep doing what you do. Maybe the supers and developers will get shamed into fixing the housing stock in NY.
Those pink plastic pitchers and pink plastic basins are definitely from the hospital. My mom kept hers too - growing up in the depression era they did not have much so kept everything! We had a lot of stuff like that to go through after she passed. Their generation was not a "throwaway" generation. 👼🙏
7 minutes left in your video and I stopped it an got up and gave my house the once over for two hours. When my alarm goes off in the morning I will be happy I will have an easy day. Ha! Good thing I stopped it before you had the mice or rats running about. You are a brave woman Barbie! Thank you for this video.🙂
Barbie, I appreciate you and don’t know why your videos don’t get as many views. Maybe because the apartments are not HGTV ready. But what you do is real and your kindness and understanding is what I appreciate most. You help those in most need.
