Fantastic advice. I winced when I saw the grease go down the drain. The only down side to watching this amazing, wonderful video.

My son used to make bacon every day. Then he would dump the grease down the kitchen drain! Can you imagine? Yup within months the drain was backed up. My dad owned the house and was renting it to two of my three sons ( the youngest was still in high school). Luckily my two older sons’ dad was a plumber and was able to clean the drain. Thank goodness. But what a mess! My oldest son no longer puts grease down the drain. 🤨

Our plumber totally agrees with you.

Luckily, the active ingredient in drain cleaner is sodium hydroxide.... same as oven cleaner. Doubt those pipes will clog since the sodium hydroxide dissolved that old grease so it can be washed away never to offend again.

@@gtron7692 sodium hydroxide becomes diluted. If that were the case, less plumbers would be needed. I vote a big No to letting grease go down the drain.

It is so easy to judge. If I see someone struggling I jump in and help. Have been there. 🥰😇🎈🤩

Thank u for this comment. I have chronic depression & I go through times I just can't clean. It takes way too much effort. Even loading dishes in the dishwasher seems an impossible task. It's so hard to explain this to some people. I literally physically can't make myself do what needs to be done. Thank you for speaking out. I'm super embarrassed at times about my house. I'm feeling some better & in the process of deep cleaning. I have thought about hiring someone to help but I'm too embarrassed. I think though this might be the best thing. Ty again, no one understands if they haven't been through it 💕

Exactly this. A tiny bit of care over the language used in life can make all the difference. For many, the fear hearing such emotive language in describing the mess they’re already ashamed of is precisely why they’ve not reached out for help sooner.

She degraded him so bad then went on to say he was a family member who’s wife had passed away. If he’s a family member why didn’t she take her rear end over there and help him before it got that bad?

Because he didn’t see a problem with it and didn’t want them to change anything. Plus they lived in another state. But they finally convinced him to move close.

This is the most important comment on this video. THIS is the problem here. We do not do our sons any favors by “shielding” and “protecting” them from cleaning responsibilities while they are growing up in our homes. You are setting them up for unhappiness and potentially misery - like here in this video - by using misogynistic practices in our homes. We need to love our sons enough to make certain they know how to clean and get plenty of practice doing it.

@@Bronte866 Right ON! These 'men' think it's somehow beneath them to clean after themselves. They'll just let it get gross again. We women weren't put here to do these things for perfectly capable human beings.

So you cleaned your neighbor's floors? You're so awesome!💝

What a great job you've done. God Bless you and your family

That was really sweet Sometimes everyone has hard times and just needs a little help and elbow grease ♡ and cleaner

When my best friend’s mother died, her house was in need of a good cleaning. Sometimes people just can’t clean as well as before.

God bless your heart!!!

Thank you🙏

@@CleanFreakGermaphobe I agree. I I'm a new subscriber simply because of your kindness.

ye he elderly like don't blame him he shouldn't be cleaning up that stuff at his age

DITTO!!!!!!!!!

Helping the elderly helps you! In my case such work gets a very depressed person out of bed!

Ida, you are so IMPORTANT. Many of us couldn’t function without you & the others who clean. It take such a load off our mind.👏🏼🤩

awesome person did this job❤❤❤

All of those are excellent cleaners for tough jobs.

That was a kind thing to do...you will be blessed ..

So... what would you use to clean a bathtub with a thick coat of minerals, mostly calcium and iron? I hit it with everything I could think of except what said not to use on porcelain. Not sure that I made any progress at all. The surface of most of that tub feels like coarse sandpaper with a couple thin layers of hard enamel painted over it.

Have you ever tried Oil Eater? It works great on grease. You mayhave to look in auto parts store for it.

I was a custodian, too. I remember walking into a seriously filthy student apartment. I thought to myself how do these girls live like this?

Bless you♥️

sorry but that's not an excuse to live in this filth. If you are incapable of maintaining a certain level of cleanliness, maybe assisted living is on the table. Not to be rude. We all get old.

Danielle Smith, you are rude as hell to talk to this Senior lady like that. You have no idea how painful arthritis knees and other joints are.... Some old people live on SS, some widow women only live on 500.00 or less, damn sure can't afford help to come clean your house at the prices they charge around here. And my daughter worked in 2 different nursing homes as a teen to earn money, believe me I can tell some of the horror that went on in there... I'd never put my Mom in a nursing home nor would I ever go in one... So until you are in this lady's shoes shut the hell up stop judging.....

@@JerseyAccent653 For someone ‘not being rude’ you managed quite nicely. Your other comment ‘we all get old’ lacked conviction, as though you are still at the age where you believe it an impossibility as far as you are concerned. That made me laugh, it will no doubt make you cry one day.

@@JerseyAccent653 💁‍♀️

Best compliment ever!

How does one fall into forensic cleaning?

Is a forensic cleaner someone who cleans up “crime scenes” and the like? I bet that’s very lucrative. And you look great in a hazmat suit, right?

Maybe he could bake his pork chops instead of doing them on the stove or use a splatter guard. ...or give up Pork. Bad for the arteries

Back pain is terrible. I have that too & hip issues from psoriatic arthritis & I just keep at cleaning 10 minutes at a time (then I have to stop & rest to get the sciatica pain to reduce)…but 10 minutes here & there really helps. Look at @aurikateriina ‘s videos too…uplifting content

Lisa Robbins, we need to be friends! We're in extremely similar circumstances. I just cry when I look around.

Yes! She is such a blessing to this person! 💖💖💖

Same,now in a wchair. I would love to afford to pay a cleaning service . I'm lucky I have family that help.

completely sympathise. Gran had polio, her back was twisted like an old tree.

You are an angel. Much love from Puerto Rico 💜

Or simply depression.

Why wasn't this done once a week since his wife passed away? Adult Protectective Services would have moved the man to a nursing home.

@@ratherbfishing455 would they also pay for the nursing home and make sure he wasn't being abused? Maybe they could pay for a weekly cleaning person, that would be cheaper

@@ratherbfishing455 you've never had a relative live long enough to get dementia. Negotiating isn't that easy.

If this was a family member, why did it take 12 years for anyone to help???!! Utter neglect like that is called elder abuse. Someone should have stepped in to help him before it got that horrifically bad. Just makes a RU-vid video about it to exploit for channel views, and leaves with just “I left you some Swiffers”??? WTF?? He obviously needs more ongoing help than that. This situation is f’d up. 😡

I bet the students felt happy and proud to have helped. What a great project!

Totally agreed!!!

@@lizbrown7232 Totally agreed!!!

I completely agree-love this about her too!

This seems like a very severe case of clinical depression.

I am generally a VERY clean person, probably obsessively so. But when my depression sets in, all bets are off. These powerful cleaners have saved my sanity.

@@sadiauddin4237 If she's on medication, yes. Medications for depression can do some strange things to the mind.

@@marigeobrien Dear Marige, the person who lives in this house is a man, not a "she." The woman who's cleaning is the elderly man's relative and she's trying to help him. Love from Amanda in Australia

Thank you for your comments. Now I wish I had tried vinegar. 🧐

Well said!

Yet for 12 years this family neglected this man. She admits to knowing how gross it was getting and not one person taught him how to clean or stepped up to do it themselves or hire a home health aide to assist him. This person is not worthy of admiration. She neglected an elderly person until she could exploit him for views on RU-vid. People should absolutely take care of their elderly relatives. This person did not do that. They neglected him for 12 years

@@minecraftqueen9076 You don’t know the how this went at all. All you know is what was shown on the video. The dynamic and the relationship could have been such that he refused to let anyone come in and help him. Maybe it took a lot of convincing for him to let her come in and do this. There are many different scenarios that could have taken place. This wasn’t a case of exploitation. Look up the meaning of what it is to exploit someone. You people love to throw this word around without knowing a full story or the true definition. How bout you stop and better yourself instead of wasting your time judging others.

@@scrumps101 if he rufuses then he isn't capable of living alone

@@minecraftqueen9076 He may not be capable of living alone. But that is only one of many scenarios that could have brought him here. We just don’t know. To judge someone without having all the facts is just ignorant and shows such a lack of insight.

Great idea!

amen❤

That works if they're willing to accept help. When they tell you no and demand that you leave, then things get more complicated.

I have to agree with the sentiment but there are people who refuse. Both neglect and pride (refusing help) are problems. Probably the pride drives people away and the neglect makes elderly push away help. Never ending circle

@@jturtle5318 I agree that it can get complicated and many factors can play a part. But that’s when we have to care enough to not give up. We try until not unless.

​@@jturtle5318- sadly, very true. 😢

Thank you so much!

isnt it a great feeling after? I did it when I was out of work and also just for xtra money, I got referrals because of the deep cleaning. Takes time but it is like therapy, used to be anyway .

Please check on their pets too. Feed, brush or walk.

What a true blessing you and your husband are to your family member! You put in so many hours of hard work and Gifted that person beyond measure. I was thinking of a couple things to expedite the job.. I wondered if using a large scraper to get the worst of the grease off wouldn't help Make the job go quicker and then to scrape it into an old food container of some type and just throw it in the trash. I was concerned that all the grease going down the drain might clog up the pipes. Hopefully they were remained and clog- free. I Realize this is an older video, but maybe it will help someone who is reading it now. This was such a great idea to help someone Looking to bless a person in their life! Thanks so much 😇

Totally agreed!!!

Wow bless your heart. So much hard work. You should have angle winga

He did not seem like an athlete!

Well the mess backed up long enough.

Totally agreed!!!

I did the same thing when I was in home health! Sometimes, they'd specifically ask that I not clean, which was frustrating in the quiet time, but many of my people appreciated the tidying.

and YOU are an ANGEL as well Kassi Lynn! I can appreciate ANYONE who helps the unable. Heck, my own family didn't even help me while I cared for OUR own Grandmother! If no one has told you guys today... I LOVE YA, AND APPRECIATE YA TOO! THANK YOU ! on behalf of those that don't! 👍😘

I love that you took it upon yourself to clean other areas that sorely needed it, for the sake of your clients and their environments. Having compassion takes many forms. I don't do this as often as I'm prompted to, but I have at times thought about what I could do for someone that would just delight them, lift their spirits..totally unexpected. And not expect or wait for a response from them. You have a great opportunity with what you do - Thanks for sharing!

I've done the same but unfortunately family members would come visit and remark how clean everything is then start to badmouth the other caregivers for not cleaning. They were rude and referred to the other caregivers as lazy. Alert: Caregivers are normally paid to care for your loved one not scrub down the home.

Being elderly and with chronic pain makes everything take sooo long! Right there with you. Gentle hugs.

I am the same. My health took a downturn and I can no longer keep up with what needs to be done. Its hard to take but what can you do?

Scrub daddy flex texture sponge would have worked a lot better

I tell my daughter to just block off 20-30 minutes of time and tackle one corner, or one counter. It works! If you look at the whole room, or whole house, it’s overwhelming. Small steps at a time.

I do a weekly housecleaning for my niece who is a single mom running a very success small business. Took a long time to convince her that asking for help was NOT a sign of failure. I love housework and find the routine to be calming and satisfying. She hates housework. Now we’ve achieved our balance. I get to love on her once a week via creating a tidy home for her, and she gets to come home after a long day and enjoy guilt-free relaxation.

Me too. I get overwhelmed then stop. I’m spending the summer taking things one day tackling one job.

@@amber689 🙏🏻 one day at a time

My first thought was a tarp as well. However I think using trash bags would give the control you need plus the coverage.

@@marshakott1574 You get rolls of real wide, thin plastic mesnt for covering floors when painting etc. It’s cheap too. I think I paid the equivalent of $2.99 the last time I bought a roll. It would be much better for this than a tarp, because it has to cover and make sure air doesn’t get to the floor/cleaning solution for the cleaning to be most effective. 😊

@@lottatroublemaker6130 I came here to say this same thing.

Thanks for the tip

@@countrystyle5076 same here

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so happy that I was able to help and I genuinely wish you well. 💜

Well said Benito. Sending you well wishes.

I’m a 100% disabled lady, my home is not close to being clean. I can not handle this along with my disabilities

I tried about 7 cleaning products when we got this house. I spent hours on the fridge alone! What I finally stuck with is a capfull of 3% peroxide in a cup of Greased Lightening. Let it sit for a few minutes and it cleans almost everything. Got welding fingerprints off a white fridge!

yeah! i began wondering if the old man might be depressed, ya know?

The first couple minutes sounded judgemental

@@michaelhannaford I was thinking the same thing, she said it was disgusting

Thank you ❤ this kind of compassion is much needed esp these days

Maybe she can get her relative to watch it so he can learn how to clean up after himself

I cant do anything and I wish I had a relative like her!

Totally agreed!!!

When I worked at Taco Bell years ago they used Tide powder and hot water to mop the floors. It worked really well to get the floors clean and grease free.

I used tide with bleach (powder)and hot water with a bristle brush and handle on my great aunts garage floor and walls because she is sensitive to harsh smells. It worked really well and it smells awesome still.

Yes I think Tide is a better cleaner degreaser than it is a laundry product. Maybe it should stay in the Garage for cleaning.I itch like crazy when ever I’ve used it in my laundry. And so do my boys.

What kind of floors are you using that on?? Does it leave a film on it afterwards?

@@violetcurry540 I use it on vinyl and tile. It does not leave a film when I use a mop. ☺️

Little by little steady getting er done😊

Same gòes for fixing things around the house!

Finally someone brings this up!

Delegated but not divided hopefully, because people tend to choose the easier one then, thus another issue

Thank you! I was going to say this. This man has his wife cleaning up after him for his whole life, and when she wasn’t there anymore, he couldn’t clean up after himself. And now has another lady coming in to clean up after hi

She said he was a relative. Why did she and the family neglect him for 12 years and allow this to happen??? This is elder abuse.

@@melissasoliz9894 Exactly. She's signed up to be his new cleaning woman I guess.

Maybe an air fryer

@@kathymac21 That is what he needs!

Don't worry too much. I've watched a lot of near death situations and those of people getting ready to pass and out of a zillion stories not one of them said I wish I had cleaned more. 😁 Have you come across Abraham-Hicks yet ? Listening to them really helps me sort things out and feel better. Being happy is the secret to life. I also like Louise L Hay.

Nice tip. Thank you so much

Unlike kitchen paper towels, they can be wrung out and reused.

I would have found some ratty old towels so soak it all up. I’m sure that was really tiresome, going back and forth to the sink with the sponge.

With the amount of the gunk, I would have used a rubber squeegee and a dust pan rather than attempting to sop it all up. Similar to how they remove the solvent for removing paint from furniture.

Thank you so much!!

Or a dollar store shower curtain to cover more area cheaply

@@lisadaws6191 ooohh, that's better than my trick of using cut open trash bags. Too bad I don't have anything to use it on!

Why use plastic sheeting?

@@nancymelloh4222 to hold the cleaner on the floor to keep it working instead of evaporating. It works longer that way.

Thank you so much💜 It was one of the most satisfying cleaning jobs I have ever done😄

Me too

There*

Amen to that!!! The world would be a better place if more people were like this. We all need help with something in our lifetime. I’m a new subscriber and I’m so happy to have found this lovely and kind lady.❤🙏🏻💖

I love seeing someone I help react to a job done that they felt was impossible ❤️

This is Janet and I’ve thought about starting a cleaning nonprofit. We have too much right now but I see the need and would like to see what we could do.

@@CleanFreakGermaphobe Hi Janet, how interesting to hear that you too have realised that there is a genuine need here. It is difficult to coordinate ideas because the UK and the US are organised differently. I hope this is not going to impose on your time, but I thought I would share with you a few things that have led me to the conclusion that this is an area where there is an ignored need. To save time, I will sort-of bullet point. * I am much older than you and (embarrassing though this is to admit) I come from a background in England where I learned nothing about cleaning and maintaining a home. Frankly, it didn't occur to anyone that I would ever have to do it for myself. My life didn't exactly pan out that way. * In the old days (30 years plus) hospitals were pristine. The cleaning staff was made up of ladies who learned housekeeping skills from their mothers, who learned from their mothers and so on. The hospitals had almost no diseases from within. Then, partly to save money and partly because the powers-that-be knew nothing of the _skills and knowledge_ necessary to clean properly they got rid of all these women. It was also assumed cleaning was a job any idiot could do (grr). I cannot say, because it might be misconstrued, who they employed to clean hospitals, but with minimal "training" they were employed. There are other reasons, but the hospitals got progressively dirtier. Diseases became rife. I have been in a hospital where there is blood in the sink. I didn't say anything to see how long it would stay there. A week. I was discharged at this point so don't know how much longer it stayed there for. * I am now chronically sick and disabled (this sounds grim, but I have faith and a sense of humour, so happy as a clam!). Thanks largely to RU-vid, I am doing all I can to learn to clean and maintain a home. * Recently, I had a bad health problem, nearly died and ended up in hospital. We have a problem we call, "bed-blocking". This means that the (usually) elderly person cannot go home because there is no "care package" in place. This is a hospital service that usually lasts for 6 weeks and is supposed to ensure the vulnerable person has what they need to get back on their feet. Good idea badly executed. The system (along with all the private ones) don't do what is usually needed. They do have loads of meetings, more meetings and a few more meetings. the girls (loath to call them women) replace efficiency with rudeness. Once at home, my experience was they weren't allowed to get me a pint of milk, pick up medication or make a bed I had thrown up in. Cleaning of any sort was a big no-no. University graduates with a million meetings, a million more "assessments" and a few more meetings, but no one wants to roll up their sleeves and make the bed of a disabled woman. * I have since learned that there is a massive problem. Elderly people having to go into nursing homes because they can't afford to pay someone to do household chores and they cannot manage. Perhaps they can manage some jobs, but they can't manage others. Even companies that are privately run do not help with cleaning. If you look at deep cleaning programmes in the UK, they are framed negatively. The host does everything they can to humiliate the homeowner. The structure of modern life means many people do numerous jobs just to make rent and people no longer live near family. Family that is all too often fractured and dysfunctional. Culturally, family is no longer on the menu so selecting it is not always an option. These are just a few thoughts based on personal experience. The fact that there are currently so many programmes showing homes that are totally out-of-control indicates that this is a problem many people are struggling with. A bout of depression, an illness, a trauma such as being mugged can land someone in a home where the mess and dirt becomes too overwhelming to manage. I have also been mulling with the idea of teaching young people home management along with other life skills. I certainly know that learning how to clean and maintain a home is a skill that will greatly elevate a life - or even help save one. I hope these thoughts will be of interest to you.

@@CleanFreakGermaphobe I know several people who work in social services that come around and clean homes for the disabled or elderly- this is paid for by the state to avoid the cost of a nursing home. From their POV, it's cheaper to keep them housed and have someone visit periodically than institutionalize them. You should look into such programs for your relative.

@@sisterkerry I pray you see this. I’m in So California and I’m disabled too. I used to be a clean freak but for my illness, some serious dental issues, two car accidents and my 90 year old mother getting sick has prevented me from keep my home up while getting the kitchen redone…literally the cabinets were coming off the walls!!! So I put all the money I could into fixing the kitchen and got ripped off! My son is trying to help me but it’s a slow process. Also in America there’s no cleaning help unless you pay for it yourself. If you don’t have family, I have a son that doesn’t live close and my mother is 90, so I have no help. My friends have all moved out of the state and I regret that I couldn’t move too. The situation here is dire and it’s overwhelming just seeing what happens to the homeless and the disabled. All I can do is pray and do what I can. Please know you’re not alone. I will keep you in my thoughts and I hope we both will pull though and be able to help others since we both know what really needs to be done.💖👍🙏🏻

@@christhomas4505 Do you mind me asking which country provides this service? I live in the UK and although pretty noises are made, no such provision exists. I would be very interested to know more about the country who does this.

Simple Green does an amazing job on headstones at the graveyard.🌺

I agree and I always notice those swiffer things put out in the garbage, hardly used. The old fashioned mop and bucket is much stronger and every time I use, I just toss the mop head in washer and it's clean. That company did some great marketing. Their commercials make real mops look gross. Good marketing that is just not true !!

Good suggestion, if she faces this again she should try Simple Green.

I read an article on Simple Green. In case anyone cares, it turns out Simple Green is not ecofriendly at all. They put green in the name so it would seem to be, to sell more product. It might work well, but not "green" as in good for the planet. Of course, Easy Off isn't either. On a floor like that (!!!) I don't know what natural product would do the trick.
