I really love cleaning, but I suffer badly from depression. Just watching your videos helps a lot with motivating me to keep my apartment livable. Thank you 💕
Me and my own daughter named Ari (6 years old) love watching your videos before bed. We just bought scrub daddy and mommy supplies and we played cleaning for 2 hours! She loved it so much and can’t wait to clean again 😊. She even said “look at all these messes! The messier the better!” 😂. Thank you for bringing us so much joy
I like how, in the lower left corner, you show the product you're cleaning with. You already make it clear you have sponsors that let you do this for people. But showing the product you're using adds a level of transparency that I find refreshing.
I find it super helpful to know what products are doing which jobs, I’ve just ordered a bunch of Scrub Daddy products to try out after watching heaps of Auri’s videos and working out which ones I think will work well in my house 😊
@@Zucifer8I've noticed she uses a few professional cleaning products that I assume are only sold to you if you have a company or degree. For safety idk?
I love how these videos reframe cleaning as fun - yesterday I was tidying and I said out loud “now we take out the trashes!” and it made me laugh. Feeling shame about mess is paralysing but saying to yourself “yay, look at this wonderful dust” and enjoying the satisfaction of cleaning is so positive.
I can relate, several years ago we had to move my mom from her dream home to an assisted living home. It was one of the most painful things I have ever done. My brothers and my hearts were broken. We had an excellent childhood and are very blessed but she became too sick to take care of it. She did not want to leave and it took us almost a year to show her the dangers of staying there. It took us months to get it ready to sell. Now I don't go visit the house to see how it looks. I've moved on and kept my good childhood memories of the place. Thank you for doing this for people. It is a blessing to them and necessary. Not all people are able to do what you do. I could not!
The guilt and the shame I imagine from others (but mostly from myself) has taken a bad toll on my mental health despite recently having the courage to get therapy. Aurikatariina, you are so compassionate and nonjudgmental and in turn watching your videos is helping me normalize a symptom of my depression that I feel no one in the world could possibly understand. I still wouldn’t let anyone see how gross it has become, but in a way you have provided a sliver of peace and acceptance that I am not my mess. Now I just have to be brave enough to start cleaning and taking care of my home. Because being depressed and then having disgusting house makes me more depressed. And there is a belief in my mind that I just can’t do it. But I think that stems from the shame and the guilt. Thank you for what you do and also sharing it with others, like me. Watching your videos in and of themselves helps me therapeutically without having to open my door to anyone for help. I know asking for help to do the physical cleaning is so good, I can’t imagine doing that.
You obviously have no idea of how brave you already are! You wrote a long post with quite a bit of detail. You wrote you have Depression. You wrote that your home is messy. You wrote that you get stuck by the shame, guilt and judgements others try to throw on you ... sadly inferring their lack of interest or compassion for you. And, you wrote that you are now in therapy. You are braver than you seem willing to acknowledge, so far. I'm sure you don't think you only need 1 or 6 therapy appointments, right? Then you, logically, can't think you will regain your home in 1 or 6 days. If change is impulsive and quick, it won't change anything. I hope you think about this ... those who try to dump shame, guilt and harsh judgements on others are reflecting themselves, not you. Think of it like their addiction. They use you (and others) to distract themselves from their own issues, like an alcoholic uses alcohol to hide or ignore. They think they'll feel better about themselves if they are harsh with someone else ... they won't, of course because they continue feeding their own ugly, sad addiction. You are NOT required to support their addiction. Those judgements are not yours to swallow and live with. And, you know, when and as you are vulnerable they damage you ... they stop you from taking first steps and cause more feelings of worthlessness in you, which makes Depression and Anxieties worse. They are dangerous people to you. It's hard work but practice, (with your therapist of course) ignoring their ugly words. And, as much as you can, stay away from those people. As for actual cleaning, do spaces as Aurikatatriina does, one step and space, at a time. She never cleans a bedroom and bathroom, at the same time by walking back and forth. Set yourself up for success. (Don't make a list because you will overwhelm yourself.) Over many hours and days ... Aurikatatriina usually starts with gathering up dirty clothes in bags and sets them aside. You just succeeded in completing a big task. Then she gathers items to be recycled and sets them in a different place. Another success for you! When all the recyclable items are gathered, she takes them to the recycling center, as you will. Yet another success! Now, as Aurikatatriina does, go to the room you want to start with. It doesn't matter which one it is, or how long it takes you to clean it, starting and finishing is your only goal. You WILL be healthier because your bravery has led you to seek real life, healthy changes. {Hugs}
@@Natalooie I care. I'm pleased to have offered something personally helpful to you. Remember though, I was only able to have the opportunity to reply, because you chose to be honest and transparent before strangers. (That's another success for you, by the way). ❤
I love watching your videos before I clean, and also even while I clean, I will keep them playing and watch them while I do things like dishes or organising things. It keeps me so motivated and feels like I'm cleaning with someone. And while my house gets very messy, because I have depression and my partner works and much of my day is taken up just caring for and playing with my toddler, it's not at the level as most of these houses. And I know it's easier to clean someone else's house than your own, but it still makes me feel like "if Auri can clean aaallll of this within a day or two, I can surely get just my kitchen and lounge room done in a whole day!" It also helps to try and view it as I'm a cleaner hired to clean my house. I used to work as a cleaner so I know what needs to be done and I know how to keep the place clean but life just gets too much a lot of the time, and with a death in the family recently and lots of other personal problems, it's been harder to deal with the house and keep up with it all I also love how you talk about the mess. It's hard for me but I try to view my house mess through your eyes, instead of "ugh the counter is so cluttered, I need to mop, the sink is full of dishes, and that's not even touching on the marks on the wall or the backdoor and the laundry....." I try to view it more as "I get to clean! The before & after will be so satisfying." I do enjoy cleaning but again, it's harder in my own home 😅
I'm 17 years old and my mom left me the apartment for my own. She's paying the bills for my apartment (which I'm thankful for) and such but lives together with her boyfriend. The only downside was, that she left me the apartment in a bad condition. I enjoyed cleaning it! Now I'm living in a clean apartment 🥰
I just realized that this family can take the pictures now, it's show ready to sell and Auri set it up homey style, this time I feel it will sell quickly! ❤
Yes I agree! It’s perfect presentation and a big step forward especially the great real estate photos that can be done now. Maybe if mum could stay with the daughter while it is on market too, it will always be presentable for buyers to come see. I hope it sells quickly for this family
Auri you are a special person to go in and clean that much trash and especially the sink without judgement. You asked a little bit “I wonder what it is” but it doesn’t really matter to you. You cleaned everything and had fun doing it! Thank you for being your wonderful generous hardworking joyful self!
Great job Auri! I miss the old days when the whole house was cleaned. I understand you don’t have a lot of time and there are other things that factor into what gets cleaned, but it was much more satisfying!
I’m so glad to see you using power paste on the kitchen sink today. I haven’t seen you use it for quite a while. I love it and use it all the time when I clean apartments and the difference is amazing! I use all the scrub daddy things and other trick you do since seeing your videos for the first time. Love the videos and can’t wait to watch them on a Sunday !! 😍🥰
I just love how Aurii went from "I deep clean my followers homes for free" to "I deep clean homes for those in need all over the world for free" She has grown so much and she can help so many people I really appreciate her work and her progress
This wonderful woman teaches that you can choose your attitude toward anything, and enjoy the challenge and your power to triumph over the challenge and add happiness to someone else's life instead of being horrified by the challenge. Great life lesson!
People sometimes get mad because you are filming these spaces, but I think it's great you are helping these people plus making a revenue to be able to continue the blessing 🙏🙏💖✨✨
Nothing makes one more happy than seeing Ari upload a video when you sit down to eat 😂 very few would be able to eat watching these kinds of videos. Also, Call them trashes please! Its unique and makes you you. Also I don't blame Emmi for gagging at the sink part, if YOU say its bad, you KNOW its bad 😂
Omg, I'm the same, I sat down with my dinner and then I saw the sludge in the sink and I said to myself "well, not many people would be able to eat though THAT" 😂
I noticed Auri posted just about lunch time, so I said I'm going to eat lunch first, then I'll watch the video. LOL! That stuff in the sink looked like liquified 💩.
Last weekend I cleaned a set of REALLY dirty windows with thick limescale and our super embarrassingly dirty car. I have depression that takes so much of my energy, and the thought of those windows and car seemed SO HARD, but watching your videos the last few weeks really helped! I kept hearing your voice in my head cheering me on! "It doesn't have to be perfect. We are just trying to make it livable again. Just use a scraper! It won't scratch the glass AT ALL!" I even remembered your trick with the dish brush and used it on the carpet for my car and it was SO helpful! The windows and my car are not perfect, but they feel SO much better to be around now. Thank you, Auri!!
The daughters should let their Mom stay with them until the home is sold, thus preventing her from messing it up again! I wish them all the best for this difficult situation!
I would guess that their mum's alcoholism is what makes that hard. If they have children, they need to keep them safe first, and if the mum is not ready or able to accept that she has an illness that she needs lots of help for... 😢 It is a very difficult situation.
I do wonder sometimes how much good is done by people not facing the damage they have done, either in their housekeeping or relationships. This person couldn't even take the garbage out.
Sometimes it is not easy. Sometimes if you don't interdit the person there is nothing you can do. And interdition is very a very violent decision that not everyone is ready do make.
You made it so beautifully clean !! Thank you Auri, for taking something that looks hopeless and getting so much joy out of it. We all can take this lesson with us and apply it to our own messes, whatever they might be !!! 😊💖
I have learnt to wipe my benches following your method and watching your videos has made me understand my daughter more with her cleaning struggles, I understood before but you have helped shine more light on it. I find myself hearing you talk as I help her as well as in my own home, thankyou so much Auri ❤ Also, stay with trashes, it’s unique to you and we love it 😊
So glad Emmy can occasionally join u on your jobs. Probably makes the time go by faster, & u can have a few laughs too. Laughter & companionship is so good 4 your mental health. This was a great b4 & after video. Look forward to the next one. Your Oregon Viewer USA.
Oh, Aurii, you've done a superb job on the cleanliness of this house🥰. It's astonishing how you transform it from a messy, cluttered, and disorganized to a fresh and exfoliating domestic household. The way you detox the kitchen all around is delightful. You've left the place in such pristine condition that the daughter🙆♀ of the occupant living there appreciates the hard work you😇 and your sidekick😇 completed in giving her and her mom an upgraded and organized house. You're a lifesaver, Aurii,😘 through and through, my dear.😉
Watching Auri’s videos inspire me so much. I love how she’s so kind and passionate and understands people’s situations and goes out of her way to make somebody’s world turn around. ❤
Thank you to all concerned for helping make the video and supporting Auri and people's mental health issues. Does anyone else when cleaning think is it up to Auri standard. Ship shape and Bristol fashion. X❤
I never think of my cleaning being up to Auri's standards; I think of whether it's up to my late mother and father's standards. Theirs mean more to me than anyone else's even though they both died 17 years ago.
Sometimes I try to think of how the neglected sink or fridge might “feel”….both before and after cleaning. Imagine never or hardly being useful because of the grime or insects and then how relieved and glad to be of use again. Just a thought.
I love the sound of "Trashes" I've started saying it. I'm trying to bring trashes to the US❤ I LOVE the look of the table cloth. I WILL be using this idea. So pretty and no hanging down bits to get in the way.
I suffer from bipolar disorder, Im going through a depressive episode and my room is a mess. Your video has actually given me motivation, you have such nice energy ❤
I also had very depressed phases but still managed to clean up and keep a huge house clean. It must be even worse for her... I hope she is ready to make a change.
She told us in one video that she doesn't want to use her own vacuum because there are often maggots and other animals that she doesn't want to get into her stuff. So she uses a squeegee, dishbrushes etc. when she can't use the house owners vacuum because then it's easy to clean :)
@@chanineb4606 Exactly! It would be so nasty to transport such horrid ick into another person's home who might not already have issues, but even having that stuff in Auri's car would be horrendous.
Seems like this mom needs to be in a long term care facility if the family can afford it after selling the house/apartment. They can monitor her with her medications that will likely be given to her for depression. And, regular meetings for her addiction. Your help must be like a breath of air for her children and much appreciated.
Hey Aurikatalina, just want to say I’m obsessed with watching your cleaning videos. So inspiring. The kind work you do for people that suffer so much from depression/anxiety is so uplifting. I love your stove top hak with oven cleaner and cling film, tried it on my stove top and it now looks new. I love how cleaning the trashes away and wiping away the dirt in a way helps cleanse the mind and soul😊. I always worry the end of your braids might accidentally get dirt or sludge on them. Keep up the great work Aussie fan Anna . 😊❤
I love all the little techniques, tips and tricks ive learnt from watching this. Cleaning is more enjoyable if you have good equipment and products too.
You did amazing! When I need to clean up something slimy on my tiled floor I use a dustpan and squeegee as I can get more up quickly so I dont go though loads of kitchen towel or microfibre cloths 😊
Aurkatarina you are amazing the you come in and transform people's homes ❤ the guy from midwest magic cleaning mentioned you in one of his videos I admire what you both do
Can you do a video showing how you organize, clean and reuse your cleaning tools (like rags, sponges ect.)? 🤩 I feel like they get dirty so quickly when cleaning and lowers my motivation to clean😢
@Rakel B Markao's Daughter not all of it, but most of it. And she can buy it or request it if it helps with cleaning and teaching others to clean effi iently.
It wouldn't be at all advisable; there are often maggots and other horrid creepy-crawlies in those apartments, and they'd get into the vac, and then be in Auri's car, and in other apartments/homes she'd be cleaning. Vacs are notoriously hard to clean, no matter how small, and can harbor all sorts of seriously nasty things.
I have been battling depression and have had to pull myself out of some dark head spaces, I’ve had my house in some really horrific condition during some of the really dark days, including not Looking after myself and just literally slept the time away and when I felt too weak, I’d force myself to drink some water and eat something Then back to bed It is debilitating severely, believe me no one ever wants to live like this house, my house and every prh persons house who suffers mental health issues. I wish all of you the courage, confidence and strength to overcome as many depressive times as you can, small steps and believe me you’ll get out that darkness further and further. At your pace. You all got this 💙
For those of you who think the places are ✨perfectly clean✨ under the trash... Exhibit A: Lol I could smell that sink from here. Idk how you can stand it without vomiting.
Ari, LOVE your videos. Mom and I always said trash for anything that contained dry items and garbage for anything wet. Dry coffee filters with grounds-trash, wet-garbage, dry papers-trash, wet-garbage, and so on.
Another incredible job done! By the way, thank you for sharing your cleaning products and techniques with us. I started using power paste last year because of your recommendation and seeing you use it in your videos. It's awesome and has become a go to product for me. Thank you!
Auri thank you for always motivating me to clean. There are many nights I can't face having to clean up after dinner but then I watch a video of yours and I'm inspired to clean it up. Lol, my mess seems small compared to the big mountains of mess that you have to clean up 🌼
Hi Katariina ! It's great to have some people that come to help you sometimes because I see you lifting couches and bed so heavy, only by yourself ! It's not good for your back. Think deeply about it. I was like you when I was younger, big jobs didn't scare me, but now.... My back make me suffering the peins of the hell sometimes ! And I'm thinking : "Ah ! If I had known !" Take care of you little angel, you are so sweet ! 💖💖💖💖💖💖
It's awful that depression can affect people so severely. I hope this cleaning will give this poor woman a bit of a respite from the heavy cloud of sadness and despair. It'll take much more than a cleaning to help her in a meaningful way but every little bit of help is a positive.
So sad people living like this. 😢 I kinda have some depression myself but still cleaning … Sometimes it takes time for motivation but I think how much it will be better and fresher and healthier for my family and it brings some power. Sending hugs for everyone having the same. Little by little you can make it.
Great job, Auri, as usually😍 Have you ever visited the houses you have cleaned? Do these people clean their houses after your help or make the mess again?
I love your channel! Question: I know you don’t like using a vacuum cleaner because they can be bulky and slow; but would you ever consider getting a stick vacuum for cleaning the rugs in these homes? Or a hand vacuum for some drawers?
I don't think she can get her own, the contaminants cannot be "carried" from user to user. She uses vaccums when they are already available on the premises and usable.
Well I know that Auri mentioned in some of her videos how after she finishes cleaning one of these homes, she has a routine of what tools need to be thoroughly cleaned or thrown away; so I figured, what’s one or two more tools in her arsenal? PROVIDED that it helps her clean quicker. That’s why I figured a hand-vacuum wouldn’t be too much trouble, when she has time to clean drawers. Or a stick vacuum that’s light and portable with two hours of charge in it for when she has large rugs that are salvageable. I used a stick vacuum at a friends house a few times, and I LOVE using it! It’s so much fun when there’s no cord!
Only an opinion, nothing factual, but I think it would be rather unsanitary to carry something like that from place to place. A vacuum cleaner would harbor mold, dirt, any insects that got caught up in it---and they do!---among other nasty things, and then the next home would be contaminated with the crud and gunk from the previous one.
Great video and awesome job ladies, you make such a great team❤. Thanks to you, I started buying Scrub Mommy and Scrub Daddy products last fall and love them!
always so relieved when i see you wearing a mask when dealing with these really moldy and dirty houses! your health is so important, its smart to be cautious. Great work Auri!
Just watching your videos helps so much and gives me so much motivation to clean. Its just that I share a room, and also get really bad seasonal depression during the winter, and this year it really built up. I've been working on cleaning my room though! 😁
She must have an iron stomach. I would love to help people like this as I love cleaning and think everyone deserves a clean home, but I wouldn't be able to stomach it! She really is such a light for those in their dark chapter.
I love the word TRASHES. I live in Indiana, USA and I call it all, trashes, in my home now, because of this nice lady. By the way, she isn't joking about that power paste, It's just amazing!
