Yes! Great observation. My therapist reminded me of this when I was deep in my sickness. ❤she said you take care of the living things even when you had only a little to give ❤️
I know! every other bathroom design seems nonsensical now. I'm in the UK but have seen this in AirBnBs in other European countries. I also like how it seems to be the European norm to have the washing machine in the bathroom. This makes so much more sense than the British standard of shoehorning into a kitchen, probably getting residual grease over everything and taking up valuable space that could be used for a dishwasher/ to feed air fryer and other appliance obsessions.
You have helped me so much. I was so depressed and felt there was no way to get out from under the mess I was in, but watching you gave me the courage to take matters into my own hands and I am so much better. Thank you so much. What you are doing is hero work!
Yo I just wanna say keep going you sound like a great person and I really hope you achieve your dreams and go on to be truly happy have a wonderful day/night❤️❤️
You can always set all on fire and done! 😆 It is really inspiring and motivating to see her cleaning! I have no clue where she gets the energy though because I can't even finish a messy room in a day. I simply do not have the energy to tackle something so big in such a short time!
What we say to others stays in their minds. Be kind, or be quiet. It’s that simple. Bullying and being cruel to another can send someone down a very dark path. Thank you, Auri, you’re an inspiration.
I have to credit your videos for pushing me to clean my bathroom. It took me three days because I’m not physically able to do it all at once. The rest of my house is still a wreck, but it feels so nice to be able to walk into my bathroom and not see (and step on) trash all over the floor. I’m hoping that cleaning will be a catalyst for doing more. Thank you for showing me how many other people suffer as I do.
hi I know I’m late! But I hope you were able to take those baby steps and go one day on room one spot at a time and get it done!! I’ve had the same problem and with the help of these videos they motivate me!! Good luck my friend
She's right, you can't save an addict or people suffering from depression or anxiety unless they want to heal as well. Even therapists say that therapy is useless if the patient has no motivation. It's a hard place to be in as someone's loved one. It's important to support the person as much as you can and how you see fit (like not giving money to an addict if their addiction comes first) but it's also important to look after yourself so you don't burn out. Happy to hear that this story had a happy ending. Great work as always, Auri!
I´m grateful for Auri´s work and help. Riina, you are so right about what you wrote. Also mentioned, that Auri take good care of himself, it is really important❤. I´m also happy, that story had happy ending❣
Thanks so much for this great episode. My son is an alcoholic and a drug addict. Our entire family has spent 25 years trying to help him. So far he is unable to accept rehabilitation. This story gave me hope that one day he will be cured of his addictions as well. Also a big thanks for being non judgemental. Some people judge these poor addicts harshly. Unless you are an addict or love someone who is you will never understand. Compassion and love will always win.
Just wanted to thank you for these videos. Struggled with depression for many years and when I got better, the house looked absolutely horrendus. Watching these gave me motiviation too start cleaning, and although there is still some rooms that are messy, I`ve managed to keep the kitchen, livingroom and bathroom clean for months. Also been using many of your tips to make it easier and better. You`re helping these people you`re cleaning for and so many others. ❤ again thank you!
I have also been there and when I saw a little light in the end of the tunnel I started to keep one room clean at a time. But I think what's the worst about depression is that you cannot clean due to the condition and at the same time your condition gets worse letting your home like this. So difficult.
you are such a big inspiration for my wife and i! i went from foster care to homeless to living in my own apartment with my wife . it was so hard to build good habits along the way! i never knew how to take care of a home due to my childhood. however, i learned over time, and now my wife and i have a great cleaning regimen! we are a team and we use your cleaning videos as inspiration whenever we get tired from work or university. thank you so much!
Live your videos. I lost my mom 2 years ago to cancer. I didn't realize I was letting things go and only doing the necessary things like dishes and laundry. Since finding your videos I have started decluttering rooms and deep cleaning. I now use scrub daddy and scrub mommy. The power pasted is amazing. Thank you for helping me. I'm in California. Time to clean the trashes!!!!
@@strawberryme08 As a Finn, like Auri, it feels completely logical to say trashes 😁 In Finnish language there's a singular form of the word "trash" = roska and a plural form = roskat. The singular form means just one trash and the plural one several of them. And of course we never take out just one roska (= trash), so we say that we take out all the roskat (= "trashes"). We're just so used to use plural form on that phrase so it comes naturally to do it other languages too, even when it's not the correct way to say in the other language... We have to learn to take out the trash, but taking out the "trashes" comes naturally, if you know what I mean! 😄😂😂 I think it's cute that you guys are so supportive and understanding with this "trashes" thing. Personally I don't even notice it, but that's because it doesn't sound incorrect to me. I've made this same mistake many times even though I've learnt to use the correct form since then. 😁❤ Greetings from Finland! And even though no one asked, I'll have to tell you this: We have many good things in Finland and few very excellent ones, too. Auri Katariina is most definitely one of the latter. ❤
Grief is like being hit by a huge ocean wave. It smacks you hard into the sand. I’m battling that too. You’ll get caught up with everything because you are aware of it & working on it.
I had a hard time getting up today... My house needs cleaning really badly. Then i see this vid came out six minutes ago.... Again, you help inspire me when i need it most!
@@Aurikatariina Love your videos, but l would do things SLIGHTLY differently. lam NOT criticising!!! l would clean kitchen sink, and washing up first. Then, clean bathroom washbasin. Pick up rubbish from floor, and SWEEP floor thoroughly. After that, I would be good to go!!! Truly, you are the best cleaner in the whole wide world!!!
@@gordanazakula5669 sometimes, if a house is really messed up, some start with the easiest things or start getting clothes/trashes together so it's easier to walk around.
It always seems easier to clean up someone else house then our own. No emotional attachment or friction with stuff that doesn't belong to us or hold a special memory (good or bad)
15:03, yes Auri, I would love to hear the differences among your cleaning tools. Maybe you could add pro tips on the appropriate sizes of scrapers for cleaning different surfaces as well. And thank you very much for your videos. I like the random humming and singing parts the most because it shows that you really have fun in what you do.
Your personality & positiveness has genuinely helped my mindset with cleaning & feeling overwhelmed & helped me with the realization of it's not that big of deal - just start decluttering! Oh & I also love how you've always said "The trashes" 😄 🥰
I never say trash anymore lol. Now I say to myself, "Okay, time to throw out the trashes!" I love it. I also say "Ah-mazing" like Auri does. I love her!
@@AnnieLanham lol yes her happy, positive, bubbly personality is contagious! She should make some merch that says something to the effect of "time to throw out the trashes" & "ahh - mazing" 😄
@@michelarosa1440 What do you mean? To hire someone? Cleaning products are very cheap & u can even get just 1 or 2 bottles of cleaner that can be used on multiple surfaces. Even a $2.00 big bottle of dish soap can work for a lot. & Rags / even cut up old towels.
I can only imagine the feeling the homeowner got when returning to his sparkling home! Not only feeling like a huge weight has been taken off his shoulders but also the feeling that he is cared for❤️. His family was an awesome support for him. You are amazing to do this cleaning for free.
You are an inspiration to more people than you can imagine. Those struggling and wondering how they can tackle their homes, can see that it is not a ginormous task since you make it so easy. Lots of love !
I love the fact that you let your bubbly personality shine through more and more. Keep on singing or whatever feels natural to you. I would also like a video regarding the differences between Scrub mommy/daddy and steel daddy, especially which products you usually use for what purpose.
Oh my! I am so enthralled with your enthusiasm and joy. I used to take so much pride in my apartment, then I bought a 120 yo home that needed a LOT of renovations. I was a single parent putting my children through school then university. I kept it clean, but not with the pride I had when my children were young. You have given me inspiration and I am now taking the pride I should in the home I've worked so hard to make my own. THANK YOU!!!
She is so sweet. This is the only person on TV or YT that I've seen who's not rude. I absolutely enjoy watching her clean these houses while changing lives!
Felt like listening to a thriller story, nice narration. And yes, it would be great if you could explain the different cleaning supplies in the next video! And again, and again-thank you for you being so helpful!
The way you described addiction is one of the most beautiful explanations I have ever heard. As a recovering addict (alcohol) I find explaining how this feels so difficult because to others who do not suffer from said affliction, it seems like an easy decision to make when it very much is not. Love your videos and all the good you do for people!
To get the dirt out of the corners of laminate cabinets/drawers -I use a wooden skewer-like a big toothpick-get the dirt out of the corners without scratching the laminate . Another excellent video!!!
You are such a blessing to these homeowners! Have you considered a video showing how you clean your microfiber cloths and tools after you finish cleaning a home?
I love watching you clean bathrooms! I love that in the UK, there are hoses to clean all over the bathroom, not just in the shower. I’d love this in the US! Would make cleaning so much easier and so much more satisfying 😂❤
I have to say, you have inspired me. My whole family came down with Covid, and now that we are all better, I decided it was time to do some serious cleaning! I found the Scrub Daddy, Mommy, gloves, and an assortment of brushes at my local store. Sure I had generic sponges and wimpy brushes, but after watching several of your videos, realized I needed better tools and products to make my job easier. My back is a mess, I am riddled with arthritis all through my spine, so cleaning is a bit of a challenge, and slow going. I can not do a full room in 1 setting/day because of my back. I do loose drive to finish the job because of the pain it causes, but I do try to keep aware that I need to finish what I started! Many Blessings to you for being an uplifting positive inspiration, and to all who read this!
This is my favourite type of video from you, Auri. LONG, first of all, but also thorough. You clean *everything* and it is such a good and calming feelings to see it done so completely and well. I much prefer these videos in length and thoroughness. My only complaint and it is the same as ever is that the 'After' shors could be a loooot slower and more detailed at the end. Those are the best part of the video and it always feels rushed. Not to be mean or angry at all but you seem to want your subscribers thoughts so those are mine. Overall I LOVE this channel and have the same insane love of cleaning that you do. ugh it is SO satisfying to see! Best of luck to Pete and his lovely sister!
I was having a really tough day, super overwhelmed and unable to see a path forward. Watching this helped a lot, such a good reminder that there is nothing we can't come back from and always a way to get back on track. Thank you.
I've learned some great new techniques from this show! New uses for my Scrub Daddy too! 😃 So, I thought I'd share one of my techniques when cleaning a refrigerator. .. I do the final wipe down of the inside with generic "Listerine" type mouthwash. The antibacterial properties of the mouthwash kill any trace mold or bacteria. This is particularly useful if cleaning a fridge that will be left unused for a long time ( like a vacation home, house waiting for sale, etc) from growing any black mold while its out of service. Seeing the horrible condition of some of these refrigerators, I suggest this to disinfect them. Hope its useful to someone! 😃👍
I love your definition on "rich" :D You are inspiring both to be exiited about cleaning and being a better person overall and helping others (who need it) Love your channel, love your content, love your cleaning. Keep rocking, you are awesome
I love how real you are! Dont ever be embarrassed of sharing your messy lives some are messier then others! I am I was a hording show I had so much loss in my life from rape to losing my 18 yr old son to suicide and my brother being murdered I stopped living! Stopped caring and stoped cleaning I wanted to not be here anymore! Then one day I was sitting on a bench and a old lady came up to me and prayed for me I looked around didn't see anyone! I was going to go into the river to end my pain! God had other plans I felt this peace swoop over me and I felt better decided to go home and try I managed after 6 months to get my life back on track ! I cleaned decluttered moved toxic people out even family and lost over 80 lbs became healthy mentally physically and emotionally 🙏 you are an inspiration to others thank you 💕 keep going others need you! 🙏❤️ God bless you love from Canada ❤️ now work with homeless people and realized this was gods plan 🙏
You are such an inspiration too Cheryl Woodward! You are truly sent by God to conquer evil and shine God's glory and love after everything you have suffered. Just like silver is purified in the fire you have truly shown everyone what you are made of by God! You are a shining example of God's goodness, mercy, forgiveness, strength, love and power over even the most seemingly impossible situations! Nothing is impossible for God! Keep growing in God, feed and drink on His word and thrive precious child of God! Jesus loves you! Never forget God has made you the head and not the tail. You will trample down fierce lions and poisonous snakes says the Lord! You are a warrior! Never give up hope! God is your hope and salvation! God is with you until the end of the world! God will never leave you nor forsake you! God bless you! 🕊❤️👑🙌🥰🌄
I have used your method for cleaning the inside of the oven it really works I also clean for a living and I love your videos thank you for all you do you put so much joy in cleaning and helping people thank you
I really love Auri's comment elsewhere about how cleaning gives her a sense of control. It's for this reason I recently started cleaning/decluttering as a coping method when stressed. Her videos ALWAYS motivate me to clean, it's pretty incredible. Keep up the great work, Auri!
I cry as I watch your videos. I cry because you make me wish all the more I could just do a fraction of what you do in my own home. Ever since becoming disabled, I have lost so much more than the physical. I also cry because I am so happy some people have you to help them, because when you have no one to help you you just sink lower and lower. I have no extended family left. And I really wish there was someone like you who lived near me who could help me be brave enough to let them help me. Its so embarrassing to be disabled!!
Honestly, as someone who struggles with mental health… what you do is absolutely amazing. You deserve the noble peace prize. Or sainthood or something!!! So kind. X
I work in an office, the people who work there don't keep the office clean, I have a hard time cleaning it, and when it's hard, I turn on your videos for a while, because when you work with a smile, you do this. See, I get strength for my work again, pray for you
Thank you so much for your videos, Auri!! They have been so helpful to me. If I’m having trouble getting started cleaning (like all the time!) I just watch one or two of your videos and I am inspired! I hope you don’t start to feel like your videos are repetitive or that you need to change things up. What you’re doing is perfect! The way you blend cleaning tips in with telling peoples’ stories is perfection. With your positive attitude and a bit of singing here and there- love it!! 💜😄 Even though I know I’ve heard you explain in previous videos what cleaning products and tools you use and why, it is still helpful to hear it again in the new videos! I am not a great cleaner, and hearing things repeated to me is very helpful. I am so happy too when I see your fiends, like Annie in this video, or your fiancé, because I know you have a great support team to help keep you balanced. All the best blessings and good vibes to you Auri, Annie & co.!! ✌️💜🧽
How often do you replace your cleaning tools, like how long do your gloves last, your scrubbers, your scraper, your cleaning liquids. Always interested to know how often you need to replace the things you use. LOVE YOU Auri!
I love it when you clean n the are able to add some clean new sheets, or some important new additions which will give the owner if house assistance in their organizing or cleaning. Beautiful!! Blessings to this owner and family.
Hi Auri! You are doing a great job! Thank you for all the poor people you have touched. I love your videos and learn cleaning tips as you do in ovens. A couple of days ago, I cleaned my oven with your style. It was really easy and fun. I used plastic wrap on oven glass too, so I didn't need scratching. Just in minutes, the whole owen was super clean! Love from Turkey!
Sometimes I watch you for motivation to clean, sometimes just to cheer myself, other times: to restore my faith in humanity. Today I watched you Auri the whole day because I felt really down. Thank you for what you do: helping some people directly and milions, indirectly.
In addition to using dish soap to cleaning almost everything in my kitchen, I use sugar soap in my bathroom. I put it in a spray bottle to use in my tub and shower. It has no smell, not caustic and easy to use while being tough on dirt. I love watching and listening to Aurikatariina. Such happiness and cheer is always a mood lifter, even if I wake up already happy! ((HUGS for Aurikatariina!)) ((HUGS for those who could use a hug))
I can relate to the brother: as a man, I am also extremely sensitive and it is hard to be like that in a society of machoism and testosterone. P.S. Any tips to take the black mold out off tile grout? Alcohol wipes and Harpic help, but grout still remains gray. P.S.S. Bought a scraper myself because of Auri. And it is one of the best things for a housecleaning! (helps with limescale around the faucet).
You can also use chlorine to kill the mould and whiten the grout. I personally hate the smell but it does a good job, especially with the grout around the bathtub 😬 make sure not to inhale the fumes ☺️
There also are some commercial cleaning products (I think chlorine-based?) in spray form, specifically against mold. That is, if you are not strict on eco cleaning
Please, I've always wanted to learn the difference between the Scrub family. And it is very true, you do really help others by sharing your videos. It has helped me when I'm really sad. So thank you for sharing their stories but also and mostly thank you for sharing Your story. Lots of love and hugs.
your cleaning tips give me great ideas on how to look after my home! especially living with other house mates. thanks for being a gem and helping people who need it
The story is so sad to me. I'm glad Pete is doing better! Drugs are a terrible thing. Addiction took my dads life at 41. It's been around 3 years now but the pain of losing him still hurts a lot. Keep doing what you do Auri, you are amazing and very inspiring.
Thanks to you I've become really motivated to regularly take care of my home. When I get lazy, I only have to watch one of your videos, imagine that filth inside my house and I'm ready to scrub everything I can !
I quit drugs, alcohol and smoking. I am super happy about that. But it was all so hard. I will never allow myself to be addicted to something again. I'm so proud of anyone that can quit. It's a lot of work. Thank you for helping these people. You're a lovely person. 😍
I appreciate so much what you do for people!! Your videos are so encouraging. You always make me want to clean my house. Thank you for being so thoughtful!
Hi, Aurikatariina, thank you for sharing. There’s always a story behind mess. A big YES for self care first, otherwise there is no real power to help others. Sometimes it seems easier to help others as to help yourself, but you’ll be soon worn out and sitting in a mess yourself. So healthy eating and drinking, exercise, therapy, if needed and happy routines for every day is essential. I always remember the rules in planes: care for yourself, otherwise you can’t help others. I love your attitude… love, Monika❣
I had to hire a cleaner, my apartment got pretty bad. Depression mess, as I call it. When the ladies finished it was so refreshing and I liked it so much that I promised to do a little every day or every other day. I was pretty embarrassed, but the ladies were so sweet.
Omg, also the screw tools is pink?! I´m addicted to your vídeos, Auri Katariina! I love cleanning too, for me is also a theraphy! After watching more than 20 vídeos in the last week, I started to notice wich hand you use more...I had a doubt, but than I started remembering my cleaning days, and its remarkable how we use the second hand because our first one is so so tired
I lost my brother when we were teenagers. He didn't have anyone to help him start his life and live confidently and independently. He didn't die from drugs, but he was using them before he died and they contributed to his unhappiness. I miss him all the time, even now over 10 years later. I want to thrive in my life so he can be proud of me, wherever he is.
The stories are REALLY helpful...because many of us know our getting behind is caused by sometimes TERRIBLE things... and if abuse was involved one often loses everyone at one time in abusive families...so there is no one to help.. Your calm methodically cleaning AND empathetic telling of the stories..is helpful to understand that there IS a way out..❤️
I would love to hear more about the 'scrub' family sponges! How long do they last? How easy are they to clean and reuse? I never thought of using a squeegee on floors... brilliant! P.S. As a drug addict myself (clean & sober since 2014), I can tell you that the best thing a family can do is to make sure the addict knows that they will be there for him/her -- when they are ready for help.
What a story and such a charge. Gave me a nudge to finally deal with my frosted over freezer. No more excuses. Took a while and left me all sweaty but now it is Done:D😊
It's so relaxing to watch you clean Aurikatarina and afterwards I go and do a little cleaning myself:) Stay as sweet and kind as you are, the world needs more people like you! Lots of.💕 from Cape Town, South Africa.
I love your videos! And your cleaning methods! I found a vintage Stanley thermos in old bushes and it had coffee scaled all inside. I used toilet cleaner to soak it. I got the idea from you! It is so clean and it can have new life! Thank you for teaching us how to clean hard stains the easy way! Hello from Alabama, US! 💜
I just came home from being away, my brother brought me home. I never see anyone or have anyone in my flat because of the mess & mental health stuff. Anyway, I had told him there was nowhere to sit & he said it was ok, then he saw my living room & called it disgusting. I cried as soon as he left. My whole family know how much I struggle with it but they honestly just don’t care or want to help because they just think I’m lazy. I need help & the ones that could provide help & support, won’t. I wish someone could help me for free.
Don't over think this. Don't think of the entirety of the mess or you will be overwhelmed. It is really just a bunch of little tasks that take little effort or time and do not overwhelm. Do 5 things a day. Every day. Those 5 things are for you to decide. Pack 5 bags of garbage and yes, you know what garbage is, then remove it from your home for trash pick-up. Too overwhelming? Set a 5 minute timer and stuff bags with garbage for 5 minutes and remove them. Clean your fridge or the kitchen sink and counters as quickly as you can for 5 minutes or clean your shower, your bathroom sink, your toilet, your sheets and pillows all in one day. The 5 you choose are up to you. Everyday you will move forward to your goal, step-by-step and will feel empowered by your progress. You will get there. Even the longest journey begins with the first step.
Something that helped me a lot when things got overwhelming is using a timer. Set it for 5 minutes and just do what you can. Once you can do that, maybe try 10 minutes. One time when I was really sick and not motivated I decided to lay on the couch all day except for 10 minutes each hour when I set the timer and did whatever I could in that time. You can even binge watch a series and between each episode you do 5 or 10 minutes. Good luck xx
Always such cute and cozy apartments. I also love how the bathroom is designed; you just hose it all down to clean it with the shower head. Wish western bathrooms were like that!
Even though Pete was sick, he was taking care of his plants. That touched my heart. I wish him well.
Yes! Great observation. My therapist reminded me of this when I was deep in my sickness. ❤she said you take care of the living things even when you had only a little to give ❤️
You just reminder to water my one and only plant lol😅
I'm terrible at taking care of plants, they always die 😔 but I'm better with my cats, they are always healthier than me 😊
I'm in the USA. I'm so jealous of the drains in the bathroom floors. So practical!
When we build our new house it will have floor drains in bathrooms
Facts
Yes! Floor drains so handy and sprayers by sink and toilet
I know! every other bathroom design seems nonsensical now. I'm in the UK but have seen this in AirBnBs in other European countries. I also like how it seems to be the European norm to have the washing machine in the bathroom. This makes so much more sense than the British standard of shoehorning into a kitchen, probably getting residual grease over everything and taking up valuable space that could be used for a dishwasher/ to feed air fryer and other appliance obsessions.
@@arushae They don't have clothes dryers though?
You have helped me so much. I was so depressed and felt there was no way to get out from under the mess I was in, but watching you gave me the courage to take matters into my own hands and I am so much better. Thank you so much. What you are doing is hero work!
It's so nice to hear that these videos really help people like you! All the best!

aww:)
I agree completely!! 🦸♀️
Yo I just wanna say keep going you sound like a great person and I really hope you achieve your dreams and go on to be truly happy have a wonderful day/night❤️❤️
Anytime I don’t wanna clean my house I always watch this for motivation… 100% works everytime😂
Same 🤣
Hahhaha same
Same! X
Same!!
You can always set all on fire and done! 😆 It is really inspiring and motivating to see her cleaning! I have no clue where she gets the energy though because I can't even finish a messy room in a day. I simply do not have the energy to tackle something so big in such a short time!
What we say to others stays in their minds. Be kind, or be quiet. It’s that simple. Bullying and being cruel to another can send someone down a very dark path.
Thank you, Auri, you’re an inspiration.
I cannot abide bullies. Miserable, miserable SOB’s.
💯
Absolutely!
I know that happened to me. I was basically outcasted for no reason as a kid. But I'm very happy to say I have a lovely support system now.
She is to us all
I have to credit your videos for pushing me to clean my bathroom. It took me three days because I’m not physically able to do it all at once.

So proud of you!! Im glad you were able to clean your bathroom! Thats a big step gudjoob. You can do this❤❤
you can be very proud if yourself. Great job! wish you all the best
Good job, keep it up!!!!
hi I know I’m late! But I hope you were able to take those baby steps and go one day on room one spot at a time and get it done!! I’ve had the same problem and with the help of these videos they motivate me!! Good luck my friend

I have also been there and when I saw a little light in the end of the tunnel I started to keep one room clean at a time. But I think what's the worst about depression is that you cannot clean due to the condition and at the same time your condition gets worse letting your home like this. So difficult.
Good job! She also motivates me to clean up
yaay, so happy for you!
Sounds like you are doing great and wish you even more success going forward 😊
you are such a big inspiration for my wife and i! i went from foster care to homeless to living in my own apartment with my wife . it was so hard to build good habits along the way! i never knew how to take care of a home due to my childhood. however, i learned over time, and now my wife and i have a great cleaning regimen! we are a team and we use your cleaning videos as inspiration whenever we get tired from work or university. thank you so much!

Time to clean the trashes!!!!
Well I am here for you🙏
😂 “trashes” she always calls it that so funny. Good work getting things together!
@@strawberryme08 As a Finn, like Auri, it feels completely logical to say trashes 😁 In Finnish language there's a singular form of the word "trash" = roska and a plural form = roskat. The singular form means just one trash and the plural one several of them.
And of course we never take out just one roska (= trash), so we say that we take out all the roskat (= "trashes"). We're just so used to use plural form on that phrase so it comes naturally to do it other languages too, even when it's not the correct way to say in the other language...
We have to learn to take out the trash, but taking out the "trashes" comes naturally, if you know what I mean! 😄😂😂
I think it's cute that you guys are so supportive and understanding with this "trashes" thing. Personally I don't even notice it, but that's because it doesn't sound incorrect to me. I've made this same mistake many times even though I've learnt to use the correct form since then. 😁❤
Greetings from Finland! And even though no one asked, I'll have to tell you this: We have many good things in Finland and few very excellent ones, too. Auri Katariina is most definitely one of the latter. ❤
@@tuikkur.5655 She does Finland proud!
Grief is like being hit by a huge ocean wave. It smacks you hard into the sand. I’m battling that too. You’ll get caught up with everything because you are aware of it & working on it.
Your definition of "rich" made me cry like a baby. I loved that. Truly beautiful.
In the last videos the houses have been "cleaner" because literally Auri has cleaned all the houses in Finland already. AMAZING!
It’s incredible!!! She should come to the states!!!
😂😂😂
The most important cleaning lesson I've learnt from auri is that dish soap is INCREDIBLY powerful
I had a hard time getting up today... My house needs cleaning really badly. Then i see this vid came out six minutes ago.... Again, you help inspire me when i need it most!
❤️❤️❤️😍
@@Aurikatariina 😍😍
@@Aurikatariina Love your videos, but l would do things SLIGHTLY differently. lam NOT criticising!!! l would clean kitchen sink, and washing up first. Then, clean bathroom washbasin. Pick up rubbish from floor, and SWEEP floor thoroughly. After that, I would be good to go!!! Truly, you are the best cleaner in the whole wide world!!!
Hope you got your day started now. Don't forget to eat and hydrate ❤️
@@gordanazakula5669 sometimes, if a house is really messed up, some start with the easiest things or start getting clothes/trashes together so it's easier to walk around.
It always seems easier to clean up someone else house then our own. No emotional attachment or friction with stuff that doesn't belong to us or hold a special memory (good or bad)
That's so true!
Very true. I enjoy cleaning other people's houses but hate cleaning my own. Lol
The instant serotonin of hearing “Hiiiiii I’m AuriKatariina!” 🖤🖤🖤
15:03, yes Auri, I would love to hear the differences among your cleaning tools. Maybe you could add pro tips on the appropriate sizes of scrapers for cleaning different surfaces as well.
And thank you very much for your videos. I like the random humming and singing parts the most because it shows that you really have fun in what you do.
Yes, like how does she wash all the very dirty rags?
Yeah, like how many does she take to each house and how long do they last and how much are they?
I would love to hear more about what you use each product for too. I started buying Scrub Daddy products after watching your videos and love them
Your personality & positiveness has genuinely helped my mindset with cleaning & feeling overwhelmed & helped me with the realization of it's not that big of deal - just start decluttering! Oh & I also love how you've always said "The trashes" 😄 🥰
I never say trash anymore lol. Now I say to myself, "Okay, time to throw out the trashes!" I love it. I also say "Ah-mazing" like Auri does. I love her!
@@AnnieLanham lol yes her happy, positive, bubbly personality is contagious! She should make some merch that says something to the effect of "time to throw out the trashes" & "ahh - mazing" 😄
I am totally unable to afford this cleaning process at home
@@michelarosa1440 it free
@@michelarosa1440 What do you mean? To hire someone? Cleaning products are very cheap & u can even get just 1 or 2 bottles of cleaner that can be used on multiple surfaces. Even a $2.00 big bottle of dish soap can work for a lot. & Rags / even cut up old towels.
I can only imagine the feeling the homeowner got when returning to his sparkling home! Not only feeling like a huge weight has been taken off his shoulders but also the feeling that he is cared for❤️. His family was an awesome support for him. You are amazing to do this cleaning for free.
It would be Nice if she would show the homeowners happy reaction !!!!
You are an inspiration to more people than you can imagine. Those struggling and wondering how they can tackle their homes, can see that it is not a ginormous task since you make it so easy. Lots of love !
Yes to explaining the differences between the Scrub Daddy, Scrub Mommy etc products and showing the best uses for them.
Yes please!
Auri….
I love you ❤️💕
you are a really good example for me. You inspire me so much…
You are a very very hard worker woman.
I love the fact that you let your bubbly personality shine through more and more.
Keep on singing or whatever feels natural to you.
I would also like a video regarding the differences between Scrub mommy/daddy and steel daddy, especially which products you usually use for what purpose.
Oh my! I am so enthralled with your enthusiasm and joy. I used to take so much pride in my apartment, then I bought a 120 yo home that needed a LOT of renovations. I was a single parent putting my children through school then university. I kept it clean, but not with the pride I had when my children were young. You have given me inspiration and I am now taking the pride I should in the home I've worked so hard to make my own. THANK YOU!!!
Смотрю Вас очень давно. Вы большая молодец что помогаете людям после депрессии и даёте шанс на новую жизнь.
She is so sweet. This is the only person on TV or YT that I've seen who's not rude. I absolutely enjoy watching her clean these houses while changing lives!
Felt like listening to a thriller story, nice narration. And yes, it would be great if you could explain the different cleaning supplies in the next video! And again, and again-thank you for you being so helpful!
Agree!
The way you described addiction is one of the most beautiful explanations I have ever heard. As a recovering addict (alcohol) I find explaining how this feels so difficult because to others who do not suffer from said affliction, it seems like an easy decision to make when it very much is not. Love your videos and all the good you do for people!
To get the dirt out of the corners of laminate cabinets/drawers -I use a wooden skewer-like a big toothpick-get the dirt out of the corners without scratching the laminate . Another excellent video!!!
You are such a blessing to these homeowners! Have you considered a video showing how you clean your microfiber cloths and tools after you finish cleaning a home?
I hope Pete gets better. And finds happiness
I love watching you clean bathrooms! I love that in the UK, there are hoses to clean all over the bathroom, not just in the shower. I’d love this in the US! Would make cleaning so much easier and so much more satisfying 😂❤
Thank you for helping everyone. It's true what you say about a messy house and a messy mind. One day I hope I can have both clean.
I have to say, you have inspired me. My whole family came down with Covid, and now that we are all better, I decided it was time to do some serious cleaning! I found the Scrub Daddy, Mommy, gloves, and an assortment of brushes at my local store. Sure I had generic sponges and wimpy brushes, but after watching several of your videos, realized I needed better tools and products to make my job easier. My back is a mess, I am riddled with arthritis all through my spine, so cleaning is a bit of a challenge, and slow going. I can not do a full room in 1 setting/day because of my back. I do loose drive to finish the job because of the pain it causes, but I do try to keep aware that I need to finish what I started! Many Blessings to you for being an uplifting positive inspiration, and to all who read this!
This is my favourite type of video from you, Auri. LONG, first of all, but also thorough. You clean *everything* and it is such a good and calming feelings to see it done so completely and well. I much prefer these videos in length and thoroughness. My only complaint and it is the same as ever is that the 'After' shors could be a loooot slower and more detailed at the end. Those are the best part of the video and it always feels rushed. Not to be mean or angry at all but you seem to want your subscribers thoughts so those are mine. Overall I LOVE this channel and have the same insane love of cleaning that you do. ugh it is SO satisfying to see! Best of luck to Pete and his lovely sister!
Just found this and thank you! I love how nonjudgmental you are and how compassionate to people's stories. This is a wonderful thing you do.
I was having a really tough day, super overwhelmed and unable to see a path forward. Watching this helped a lot, such a good reminder that there is nothing we can't come back from and always a way to get back on track. Thank you.
I hope today is a better day 💙
I've learned some great new techniques from this show! New uses for my Scrub Daddy too! 😃 So, I thought I'd share one of my techniques when cleaning a refrigerator. .. I do the final wipe down of the inside with generic "Listerine" type mouthwash. The antibacterial properties of the mouthwash kill any trace mold or bacteria. This is particularly useful if cleaning a fridge that will be left unused for a long time ( like a vacation home, house waiting for sale, etc) from growing any black mold while its out of service. Seeing the horrible condition of some of these refrigerators, I suggest this to disinfect them. Hope its useful to someone! 😃👍
I love your definition on "rich" :D
You are inspiring both to be exiited about cleaning and being a better person overall and helping others (who need it)
Love your channel, love your content, love your cleaning. Keep rocking, you are awesome
Mä isch nu än guätä mänsch wänn mä vegan isch ☝️
@@sandym2502 I am also vegan :D
I actually enjoyed that story. I hope Pete keeps going with his improvement and keeps the house clean too.
I love how real you are! Dont ever be embarrassed of sharing your messy lives some are messier then others! I am I was a hording show I had so much loss in my life from rape to losing my 18 yr old son to suicide and my brother being murdered I stopped living! Stopped caring and stoped cleaning I wanted to not be here anymore! Then one day I was sitting on a bench and a old lady came up to me and prayed for me I looked around didn't see anyone! I was going to go into the river to end my pain! God had other plans I felt this peace swoop over me and I felt better decided to go home and try I managed after 6 months to get my life back on track ! I cleaned decluttered moved toxic people out even family and lost over 80 lbs became healthy mentally physically and emotionally 🙏 you are an inspiration to others thank you 💕 keep going others need you! 🙏❤️ God bless you love from Canada ❤️ now work with homeless people and realized this was gods plan 🙏
You are such an inspiration too Cheryl Woodward! You are truly sent by God to conquer evil and shine God's glory and love after everything you have suffered. Just like silver is purified in the fire you have truly shown everyone what you are made of by God! You are a shining example of God's goodness, mercy, forgiveness, strength, love and power over even the most seemingly impossible situations! Nothing is impossible for God! Keep growing in God, feed and drink on His word and thrive precious child of God! Jesus loves you! Never forget God has made you the head and not the tail. You will trample down fierce lions and poisonous snakes says the Lord! You are a warrior! Never give up hope! God is your hope and salvation! God is with you until the end of the world! God will never leave you nor forsake you! God bless you! 🕊❤️👑🙌🥰🌄
I have used your method for cleaning the inside of the oven it really works I also clean for a living and I love your videos thank you for all you do you put so much joy in cleaning and helping people thank you
I really love Auri's comment elsewhere about how cleaning gives her a sense of control. It's for this reason I recently started cleaning/decluttering as a coping method when stressed. Her videos ALWAYS motivate me to clean, it's pretty incredible. Keep up the great work, Auri!
I cry as I watch your videos. I cry because you make me wish all the more I could just do a fraction of what you do in my own home. Ever since becoming disabled, I have lost so much more than the physical. I also cry because I am so happy some people have you to help them, because when you have no one to help you you just sink lower and lower. I have no extended family left. And I really wish there was someone like you who lived near me who could help me be brave enough to let them help me. Its so embarrassing to be disabled!!
Honestly, as someone who struggles with mental health… what you do is absolutely amazing. You deserve the noble peace prize. Or sainthood or something!!! So kind. X
I love how we get to hear their story it is just neat to know what they are going through🙂
I work in an office, the people who work there don't keep the office clean, I have a hard time cleaning it, and when it's hard, I turn on your videos for a while, because when you work with a smile, you do this. See, I get strength for my work again, pray for you
Thank you so much for your videos, Auri!! They have been so helpful to me. If I’m having trouble getting started cleaning (like all the time!) I just watch one or two of your videos and I am inspired! I hope you don’t start to feel like your videos are repetitive or that you need to change things up. What you’re doing is perfect! The way you blend cleaning tips in with telling peoples’ stories is perfection. With your positive attitude and a bit of singing here and there- love it!! 💜😄 Even though I know I’ve heard you explain in previous videos what cleaning products and tools you use and why, it is still helpful to hear it again in the new videos! I am not a great cleaner, and hearing things repeated to me is very helpful. I am so happy too when I see your fiends, like Annie in this video, or your fiancé, because I know you have a great support team to help keep you balanced. All the best blessings and good vibes to you Auri, Annie & co.!! ✌️💜🧽
Hello $ 👦🏻😔❤️❤️❤️🙏😔❤️
Another amazing transformation! I really enjoy how you narrate the backstories. Wishing all the best for Pete and his loved ones. ❤
How often do you replace your cleaning tools, like how long do your gloves last, your scrubbers, your scraper, your cleaning liquids. Always interested to know how often you need to replace the things you use. LOVE YOU Auri!
I love it when you clean n the are able to add some clean new sheets, or some important new additions which will give the owner if house assistance in their organizing or cleaning. Beautiful!! Blessings to this owner and family.
Hi Auri! You are doing a great job! Thank you for all the poor people you have touched.
I love your videos and learn cleaning tips as you do in ovens. A couple of days ago, I cleaned my oven with your style. It was really easy and fun. I used plastic wrap on oven glass too, so I didn't need scratching. Just in minutes, the whole owen was super clean!
Love from Turkey!
It's heartwarming seeing how you help people for free!
Sometimes I watch you for motivation to clean, sometimes just to cheer myself, other times: to restore my faith in humanity. Today I watched you Auri the whole day because I felt really down. Thank you for what you do: helping some people directly and milions, indirectly.
In addition to using dish soap to cleaning almost everything in my kitchen, I use sugar soap in my bathroom. I put it in a spray bottle to use in my tub and shower. It has no smell, not caustic and easy to use while being tough on dirt.
I love watching and listening to Aurikatariina. Such happiness and cheer is always a mood lifter, even if I wake up already happy! ((HUGS for Aurikatariina!)) ((HUGS for those who could use a hug))
After this thorough cleaning..he must feel like he had a new lease on life..positive!!
What a difference! I enjoy people's stories because they are on their way to better life.
Nothing scares Aurikaterina!! You are so cute......God Bless
Ich freu mich immer mega wenn ein neues Video von dir raus kommt das gibt mir immer neue Energie
You have given me so much inspiration! Your happy attitude is contagious.
Love using a mixture of vinegar and Dawn dish soap. Cleans great! The plastic wrap and oven cleaner really works!
You are Still ever inspiring Auri. Thank you for existing 🥰
Ugh, I wish bathrooms in the U.S. were designed like your country. SO efficient!
I can relate to the brother: as a man, I am also extremely sensitive and it is hard to be like that in a society of machoism and testosterone.
P.S. Any tips to take the black mold out off tile grout? Alcohol wipes and Harpic help, but grout still remains gray.
P.S.S. Bought a scraper myself because of Auri. And it is one of the best things for a housecleaning! (helps with limescale around the faucet).
Cleaning vinegar -let it sit, keep an eye on it, then scrub. Vinegar is the best for mold.
You can also use chlorine to kill the mould and whiten the grout. I personally hate the smell but it does a good job, especially with the grout around the bathtub 😬 make sure not to inhale the fumes ☺️
Heavy duty Toilet cleaner? I've heard of that
Bleach?
There also are some commercial cleaning products (I think chlorine-based?) in spray form, specifically against mold. That is, if you are not strict on eco cleaning
Please, I've always wanted to learn the difference between the Scrub family. And it is very true, you do really help others by sharing your videos. It has helped me when I'm really sad. So thank you for sharing their stories but also and mostly thank you for sharing Your story. Lots of love and hugs.
your cleaning tips give me great ideas on how to look after my home! especially living with other house mates. thanks for being a gem and helping people who need it
The story is so sad to me. I'm glad Pete is doing better! Drugs are a terrible thing. Addiction took my dads life at 41. It's been around 3 years now but the pain of losing him still hurts a lot. Keep doing what you do Auri, you are amazing and very inspiring.
Thanks to you I've become really motivated to regularly take care of my home. When I get lazy, I only have to watch one of your videos, imagine that filth inside my house and I'm ready to scrub everything I can !
I quit drugs, alcohol and smoking. I am super happy about that. But it was all so hard. I will never allow myself to be addicted to something again. I'm so proud of anyone that can quit. It's a lot of work. Thank you for helping these people. You're a lovely person. 😍
I appreciate so much what you do for people!! Your videos are so encouraging. You always make me want to clean my house. Thank you for being so thoughtful!
I do enjoy hearing what cleaning products you choose and why.
Thank you for your stories. It brings so much hope. ❤️
You have such a generous heart. You did an excellent job on cleaning this space!!!
You are an amazing lady. God bless you for all you do.
Your positivity is palpable, contagious and such a wonderful contrast from the negativity in this world. Thank you
Absolutely admire you and what you are doing! You and Anni did a great job in Pete's apartment. I hope he breathes with ease now.
Prayers to Pete and Ema !🙏❤Beautiful job !! So inspiring!! ❤
🙏❤
Hi, Aurikatariina, thank you for sharing. There’s always a story behind mess. A big YES for self care first, otherwise there is no real power to help others. Sometimes it seems easier to help others as to help yourself, but you’ll be soon worn out and sitting in a mess yourself. So healthy eating and drinking, exercise, therapy, if needed and happy routines for every day is essential. I always remember the rules in planes: care for yourself, otherwise you can’t help others. I love your attitude… love, Monika❣
I had to hire a cleaner, my apartment got pretty bad. Depression mess, as I call it. When the ladies finished it was so refreshing and I liked it so much that I promised to do a little every day or every other day. I was pretty embarrassed, but the ladies were so sweet.
You're wise beyond your years, Aurii. And you make the world a better place.
Limpeza maravilhosa, parabéns, aprendo cada dia mais com suas dicas 😍 🥰 🇧🇷
Queria que aqui no Brasil tivesse os produtos que ela usa
@@barbaraliberato422 com certeza, eu também , ei gostaria de saber qual produto que é bom, para limpar o fogão dentro e fóra ?
Omg, also the screw tools is pink?! I´m addicted to your vídeos, Auri Katariina! I love cleanning too, for me is also a theraphy! After watching more than 20 vídeos in the last week, I started to notice wich hand you use more...I had a doubt, but than I started remembering my cleaning days, and its remarkable how we use the second hand because our first one is so so tired
This is wonderful! Wonderfully clean and a wonderful blessing to this brother and sister. 🙏🏻 for their continued healing! 💓
I lost my brother when we were teenagers. He didn't have anyone to help him start his life and live confidently and independently. He didn't die from drugs, but he was using them before he died and they contributed to his unhappiness. I miss him all the time, even now over 10 years later. I want to thrive in my life so he can be proud of me, wherever he is.
Loving these longer videos!!!
God bless you, Auri! You never seize to amaze me...restoring hope in humanity one dirty home at a time!
You are an amazing person. Those are some really big jobs to take on and you do it so effortlessly. Thank you for your service.
38 min of Aurikatariina is like a Sunday’s gift🫶🏻 thank you so much
I'm so jealous of these bathrooms with drains on the floor and shower hoses that reach everything
The stories are REALLY helpful...because many of us know our getting behind is caused by sometimes TERRIBLE things...
and if abuse was involved one often loses everyone at one time in abusive families...so there is no one to help..
Your calm methodically cleaning AND empathetic telling of the stories..is helpful to understand that there IS a way out..❤️
I would love to hear more about the 'scrub' family sponges! How long do they last? How easy are they to clean and reuse?
I never thought of using a squeegee on floors... brilliant!
P.S. As a drug addict myself (clean & sober since 2014), I can tell you that the best thing a family can do is to make sure the addict knows that they will be there for him/her -- when they are ready for help.
If you have a dishwasher, I throw my kitchen one in the dishwasher every time I do the dishes.
Me too! It sanitizes my scrub daddy!!
What a story and such a charge. Gave me a nudge to finally deal with my frosted over freezer. No more excuses. Took a while and left me all sweaty but now it is Done:D😊
Hi Auri wish you so much love and energy❤️ Cleaning and listening to you helps me a lot.
36:05 Dust bunnies got together and made some socks...too cool! Luv your tenacity, which in turn gives us the same to do what needs to be done.
Thank you Auri ! For all the help you’ve done for all these people! And for helping me as well! I love you so much! ❤️
Thank you for your wonderful work! I believe Pete must be an artist because I noticed his plants were thriving.
Nothing motivates me to clean like your cleaning videos do!!! Thank you 🙏🏼🥰
It's so relaxing to watch you clean Aurikatarina and afterwards I go and do a little cleaning myself:) Stay as sweet and kind as you are, the world needs more people like you! Lots of.💕 from Cape Town, South Africa.
I love your videos! And your cleaning methods! I found a vintage Stanley thermos in old bushes and it had coffee scaled all inside. I used toilet cleaner to soak it. I got the idea from you! It is so clean and it can have new life! Thank you for teaching us how to clean hard stains the easy way! Hello from Alabama, US! 💜
We love the stories and tips on how to clean. That's why I watch your videos. You're amazing!!
I just came home from being away, my brother brought me home. I never see anyone or have anyone in my flat because of the mess & mental health stuff. Anyway, I had told him there was nowhere to sit & he said it was ok, then he saw my living room & called it disgusting. I cried as soon as he left. My whole family know how much I struggle with it but they honestly just don’t care or want to help because they just think I’m lazy. I need help & the ones that could provide help & support, won’t. I wish someone could help me for free.
Don't over think this. Don't think of the entirety of the mess or you will be overwhelmed. It is really just a bunch of little tasks that take little effort or time and do not overwhelm. Do 5 things a day. Every day. Those 5 things are for you to decide. Pack 5 bags of garbage and yes, you know what garbage is, then remove it from your home for trash pick-up. Too overwhelming? Set a 5 minute timer and stuff bags with garbage for 5 minutes and remove them. Clean your fridge or the kitchen sink and counters as quickly as you can for 5 minutes or clean your shower, your bathroom sink, your toilet, your sheets and pillows all in one day. The 5 you choose are up to you. Everyday you will move forward to your goal, step-by-step and will feel empowered by your progress. You will get there. Even the longest journey begins with the first step.
Something that helped me a lot when things got overwhelming is using a timer. Set it for 5 minutes and just do what you can. Once you can do that, maybe try 10 minutes. One time when I was really sick and not motivated I decided to lay on the couch all day except for 10 minutes each hour when I set the timer and did whatever I could in that time. You can even binge watch a series and between each episode you do 5 or 10 minutes. Good luck xx
Always such cute and cozy apartments. I also love how the bathroom is designed; you just hose it all down to clean it with the shower head. Wish western bathrooms were like that!
