- 1 in 20 people have a problem with hoarding - this extreme compulsion to stockpile items or not throw things away can have a severe impact on your wellbeing.
Our dedicated team are here to dig people out from being trapped in their own homes.
In this episode: Arthur’s 2 bed flat is packed with piles of junk he can’t bear to throw away. A carpet of newspapers covers every inch of the floor and as a result, family and friends have stopped visiting and he even spent his 70th birthday alone. Amongst the mountain of rubbish is a clue as to why he can’t throw anything away. He’s worried that if he loses his things, he will lose a part of himself... For deep cleaning experts Caz and Tee this is going to be their toughest assignment ever.
Meanwhile, hoarder Khim Sim is getting married to her fiancé Jim but first she must clear her hoard so he can move in. Will it be out with the hoard and in with the new husband?
In London, Mandi’s passion for vintage clothes is out of control. A mountain of clothes, bags and shoes line every wall and all the floors in her house. It’s a mission to even navigate from room to room. When her hoard is valued at over £25,000 will she want to cash in or keep it?

I don’t care if it’s a repeat, but this isn’t clutter, it’s filth. Arthur, there is danger, from bugs and bacteria.
That’s a mental illness.😢😢
🤨 he’s immune to all filth!…good for keeping sticky beak neighbours away!
Out and out filth.
There’s no way I would drink a cup of tea made in Arthur’s kitchen. He lives inside a biohazard of filth and bacteria. The fish blood palm print on his kitchen wall from decades ago is a fitting touch.
Please God help Arthur to find sense in all his hoardings.
I put this show on when I'm cleaning my house. I don't know what that says about me or the show, but it seems to help lol
I think it helps a lot of people declutter. I know it helps me.
Same, motivation!
It puts things in perspective for me too. It helps me let go of things.
Me, I put some episodes in the background when I don't feel like cleaning.
Being a home maker/ stay at home mom, there will be days that you will feel so lazy, because everyday is the same thing cleaning. Watching these keeps me motivated.
This episode has it all - A sweet guy who clearly needs not just the cleaning help but it would be great for him to socialize as well + the lady whose collection was actually worth it + the lady who found love and a crashing bed.... Ha
Mandy's collection will quickly drop in value when not stored correctly 😢🇦🇺
I hope Arthur is still okay. I really liked him. He has a good soul and should be cherished.
Absolutely he should be cherished.
Considering this particular episode is from the earlier seasons, which ran from 2009 thru 2013, it's highly unlikely he's still alive, not the way he smoked constantly.
For being lazy and helpless. Oh ok
When you live in the mess, you don't see it anymore.
Such a gentle and kind man.. I hope he is fine now
He was 70 in that episode, which was from one of the early seasons (2009 - 2013), so very likely isn't alive now. He smoked so heavily, it doubtless did its damage.
Feels the British version has much more patience & compassion than the American version of these situations. Good job! 😊
I’d love to see Kas and T go to America to clean
Yes, these are much better in every respect.
It's beyond me how people have the time to shop so much, not to mention the willingness to spend so much money. But that's just me.
It's stuff they acquire over their lifetime and because they don't throw things out it accumulates. A lot of hoarders shop at charity shops so they're not spending much.
I suffer from depression and I have difficulties in keeping my flat tidy sometimes, but I would never let go as is the case for this man. His flat is appalling. So dirty. Hoarding is a sign that the person is totally out of control.
Made me cry now...
Thank you for helping him...
He is visibly grateful...
🇿🇦
That’s terrible. His daughter didn’t acknowledge or take him somewhere for his birthday. They could’ve went to a restaurant.
I don’t think we can judge the kids. You never know how kids will react to a hoarder parent.
I really feel for Arthur! 😢
I just don't get hoarding. Clutter makes me feel like I'm being suffocated and it psychologically chases me. Anyone else feel this way?
Yes, it's difficult to think in a mess. It's hard to plan and organize to get things done when you're surrounded with chaos and filth.
I’m with you. I couldn’t live like that. But from what I’ve learned from watching these hoarder stories is those who suffer from this disorder associate their piles of stuff (even if it’s nasty or garbage) with being safe and protected like a cocoon. So losing it or seeing someone remove it causes intense anxiety and fear.
I don't get it either but, I look at hoarding as a way to deal with their life as an alcoholic, etc....
I'm a hoarder, but I agree. It stays with you psychologically, since your work is never done.
I've moved 53 times in the last 51 years (seriously), and with each move, I've eliminated more stuff. My apartment now is nearly minimalist, and if I can get up the courage to ask them to take it, I have a few pieces of furniture that were given to me that I'd like to give back to the very kind people who gave it to me. I dislike very piece, and want them out of here, but cannot hurt them.
I hate clutter, and both of my ex-husbands were terrible hoarders. Never again! I will not live in that mess ever again!
Arthur is such a sweet man. I hope he did alright after they left and hopefully finally had some folks over for tea!
Would you want to have anything that came out of that disastrous kitchen? It still wasn't clean when the ladies left---they did what they could, but as the narrator said with a slight hesitation, it was a "...somewhat clean kitchen." Nope, not about to partake in salmonella city!
This episode is from one of the early episodes, made somewhere between 2009 and 2013, so likely the elderly gent is dead by now. He smoked so heavily, it likely took its toll.
I hope he’s doing better, bless those cleaners!
I myself find that less is more for me personally
What bothers me is when people can admit that they are hoarders and have a problem but say I’m not going to make any sacrifices and they also in the same sentence say that things have to change yet things won’t change and get better if they don’t make sacrifices and yes I get that hoarding is a mental illness and that is not just as simple as cleaning but the person has to make sacrifices and put in the hard work and make the changes that can help you in the long run
Especially if they want to reconnect with family and friends 🇦🇺
Because the mind and heart are disconnected. Obviously.
he seems to be a very kind man
Eww- that’s nasty. Who could lay down in that mess? I’m embarrassed for people to come to our house- definitely would not invite anyone in to that mess. Good for Mandy!!! I think her business would be great
Those ladies deserve a wonderful raise cleaning up Authors life
They did what they could for Arthur, but it still wasn't actually clean. They couldn't get to his bathroom, nor the other rooms of his house, and really, as heavily as he smoked, I have to give them huge applause for being able to withstand that foul stench, along with the terrible smells that had to be in there from all the things rotting away.
I have 10 sundresses and thought i had too many😂
😂😂😂
Poor Arthur
17:13 😂😂 she done lost it.
No one noticed it was a ball gag as the light switch pulley system?
I came to the comments for this.. 😮
I looked in the comments to make sure I'm not imagining it LOL.
They were originally used for procedures and surgery in the mouth and throat, or for opening the mouths of patients who could not do so themselves. Hes a hoarder. Not everybody is perverted. Well maybe you....
BRING OUT THE GIMP!
I don’t want anything from a hoarders home. Even if it is worth money I’m terrified of bedbugs and other creepy crawlers.
Love how hoarders always say that their behavoir isn't related to mental illnes🫠 yeah suuuuure
Do you identify with your thoughts? Do you listen to them and believe them? No? That makes you not mentally ill then if you don't 😁
Crazy people don’t know they are crazy
If the audio tapes were so valuable , with the voices of his parents on why did he let them get strewn and damaged all over the place. It doesn't make sense.
Because he believes he can control everything with his mind, just by thinking. Thinking they were safe means they are, to him , that's why these people suffer badly when reality is shown to them. Because they disconnected, 100% believe every thought is truth, is who they are.
@@noonespecial4171 Thanks for explaining. 🤗
@@noonespecial4171 I was going to say much the same thing, but you said it so well, I'll just hush up.
I would not
drink that tea eìther
If something is so important, why do you let it get ruined? That’s the mystery of hoarding.
Considering what was hanging from Arthur's bathroom....
Arthurs got some freak in him 😉😏
They were originally used for procedures and surgery in the mouth and throat, or for opening the mouths of patients who could not do so themselves. Hes a hoarder. Hoardes have all kinds of stuff they will mot use even food. Not everybody is perverted ffs.
@@noonespecial4171 Never said he was perverted.
@@noonespecial4171dude you need a hobby you're all over this comment section lmao
Always stems from a major loss - removing items and cleaning their living space doesn't remove the issue in their mind and emotions which is why they do it all over again for security but usually don't realize it. Would love to see more footage with actual help.
Arthur was a looker in his day, wasn’t he? ♥️♥️♥️ I wish I could visit him! I’d love to hear about his family:) Sweet guy🥹
He's very likely dead by now. This episode is from one of the early seasons, made from 2009 thru 2013, and as heavily as he smoked, the combo of age and foul habits have likely taken their toll.
How anyone could live in such filth is beyond me !
this filth is beyond me !
Oh my good this everything people's home,,very sad this. But good you help this everybade people's. 👌😍💃🕺👍👍👍🏡🏠🏚🏘Thank you this good video. And hope its need helping,,this many people's its very long time and sic too. Beace this you help. 🤗👍👍💟💟❣❣
I would not be able to set foot in a hoarder house let a lone have a cup of tea or eat. I have been in a light hoarder house that was for sale. A grandmother lived there with her grandson and I was so glad she was moved into a clean nursing home.
Make a list of hoarders so poor people can go get stuff.
The problem is apart from shopping hoarders and people who stack it in plastic tubs, most of the time it's contaminated.
If someone in America sees a hoard in the UK, you think the American is going to pay the huge costs to fly there, get contaminated, usally filthy, stuff, then pay the exorbitant rates to fly it back home???
Do you think any hoarders in the UK are going to fly to America to pick up more junk for their homes, and have to do the same thing---costs, filth, contamination---???
Not even a reasonable thing to do, and why should anyone else add that filth and clutter to their already abominable houses?
If you can get the hoarder sidetracked, you can get rid of things that they would normally cling to. And then afterward, they don't even remember what was there, so it's not even missed. People can only hold so much in their attention, so ridding them of the excess can be a real blessing, though that fact may not be realized until much later.
Hoarders need to learn that the accumulation of things that aren’t used is such a waste and detrimental to the environment in the long term. Humans over consume where does it end up? Landfill 😫
I think that’s actually why some hoard because they don’t want to dump it in a landfill, or know the second hand shops will. I feel bad about it too but I won’t buy it to begin with agreed.
Is he kidding? He doesn't understand why people don't visit him? His home is sickening! Nobody can be so foolish, as to not understand why people don't want to be in that filth!
He is sick. Psychologically holding on his memories.
Oh Arthur. I’m so worried he’s going to go up in flames!
This gentleman clearly has psychological issues. He needs help not judgement 😢
No way I would wear one of the clothes of Mandy.
The brain 🧠 gives up! I hear you!
These 2 women are amazing I would just leave Arthur on his own
I hope that Kim's future husband knows what he's letting himself in for...after a marital dispute, Kim will go shopping
I hope Author is doing better. He seems like such a sweety.
The problem with vintage clothing is that women are built differently in todays world unless u r a size 0 or 2
They are not built differently! They are just fat.🤣🥰
The vintage lady has collected really great clothes and accessories. It's all worth it. It's a shame she wasn't able to turn it into an online business.
This episode was from one of the early seasons if I remember correctly---I first saw it back in 2017, and it was old then---so she may not have had the financial resources to set up such a business, nor the business acumen needed.
Two of my friends have tried to set up WFH businesses onluine, both of them very well versed in what needs to be done, but they just cannot get them off the ground.
Not everything is going to sell well, as they're both finding out, and niche markets really have a hard time. "Vintage" clothes are hot now, in 2024, but I don't know that they were back in the first seasons of this show (2009 thru 2013).
You must be very short of content; you keep pulling the wool over our eyes thinking we are too stupid to realize that they are all REPEATS.
And you must have missed the reality that episodes are protected and require permission to be uploaded on youtube. Oh dear ! 🤣
Very old ones, at that.
Reminds of Lord Chetwood from Midsomer
Oh sweet Arthur
Amazing.....He's obviously educated. Has upper middle class values.....but he has this "sickness" he just can't seem to shake...
Kim Sim’s fiancé must be mad.
My cars stuffed with my moms clothes. Wonder if it’s worth anything lol
LOL....the man admit s it but still blind. I'm going to get of more stuff in my house, I couldn't handle working in filth constandly.
I didn't know Kathy Bates was a hoarder.
Did anyone see the ball gag in Arthur bathroom?
They were originally used for procedures and surgery in the mouth and throat, or for opening the mouths of patients who could not do so themselves. Hes a hoarder. Not everybody is perverted....
Aurthur will end up dead or in an assisted living home.
If my dad lived like that I would help clean, maybe sit outside for coffee til it was done,not eat there probably as his not clean enough for me.🎉
I tried that. He gets super angry and sends me away. They dont like it when people help.
Disgusting 🤢
Lol 😂 you can go shopping 🛒🛍️ in Arthur's 🏠😮
I’ve got to be honest….I’m about done with old boomers and their filth. I’ve had to clean out three…yes three houses of old people junk clutter hoarded crap. And I’m just so damn sick of it. Thank god for 1-800-Got-Junk trucks! I’ve hired like ten of them!
I'VE got to be honest and say that I'm done with the younger generations thinking they're so much better than us Boomers.
I'm not a hoarder at all, have a minimalist, clean, neat apartment, I'm independent, I drive and do all my own chores and errands, and I have ZERO use for the utterly useless Millennials and Gen Z whiners I come across all the time.
I know only two productive Millennials, and only four working, productive Gen Zs. That's pretty sad.
Baby boomers were the smartest and hard working independent generation
❤❤
GurLs you need bio-hazard masks on and the right gear…Protect yourselves please.
Someone please answer seriously. Where do they bathe and use the toilet?
In many of the episodes, they just don't bathe at all, and they use public toilets (I have no idea where. They don't have them as we do here in the States), or they manage to bum the use of a friend's bathroom.
There have been many episodes made here in the US showing the outdoor "facilities" people have come up with, using very dirty buckets for their toilet and dumping it all on the ground at the back of their property.
They usually set up some kind of bucket shower with a hose that's run from a consenting neighbor's property, and bathe in cold water. That's when the person actually does bathe, which many of them do not.
Also, some episodes from here in the US have shown how people have used adult diapers instead of a toilet when there's no running water, and they just keep piling the soiled diapers up in the unused bathtub, often for many years.
There is one episode of "Hoarders," the American edition, where a woman who did that just kept piling the diapers on the bathroom floor, not even bagged, and caused the floor of her bathroom to rot through to the point that the diapers were fallling into the basement.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
He's 70😮 i thought he was 80 or more😮
That's what smoking does to a body, especially as heavily as he smoked.
what is the average age of hoarders
50s+
On many of the shows, the hoarders are as young as late 20s...and typically extremely obese, as well. There is no "average" age, hoarding being one of those things that can begin as young as pre-kindergarten. That's the American version. The UK version seems to focus more on the middle-age to elderly hoarders.
You need a little help with cleaning you're home
See you have to send them somewhere else and just do it because they say they are ready but then when they start going through stuff the memories start coming back and they change their minds

I think its better to clean yhe house now rather than talking...at least show us the transformation ..

...I think hoarding has actually been solved since the past 30 and 10 years and thus has become obsolete. Scanners have been around for a very long time, ~30 years or so, he could have scanned all that paper onto a single hard disk over the years and had an empty floor. VR consumer Technology has been around for 10+ years, he could have done photogrammetry on all of his items in his house and have it all one disk simply as 3D objects. All he needed was a bit of effort, a computer, a paper scanner and 3D scanner and he could have stored all of his things on one single VR environment where many could have visited his virtualized collection. Then he could had thrown away everything and while at it had the government and his neighbor's eyes off his property finally. Hoarding is actually very good, but sometimes people have to help themselves into managing it. This man, if he would have gotten with the times, would have had a serene and clean place while keeping everything on a VR world the public could see... Because... what's the use if the world can't see your hoard anyway. Gotta think.
The hoarding MENTALITY, however, has not been made obsolete. And just because the technology exists doesn't mean everyone can afford it, nor that they want it. It's a mental state of mind, of wanting those things to hold onto, something they can actually hold in their hands, can easily (in their delusional minds) look at any time they want to do so.
You're trying to put an American "solution" (and not a good one) onto a UK problem, and many of them live in very old homes that have never been rewired for the late 20th century, nevermind the 21st century.
He can invite homeless to help
That's not the least bit reasonable. The homeless would invade and take over the house in only a matter of days, and then where would he be? He's likely dead by now, this episode being from the early seasons (2009 to 2013), but even so, no, that would not be a reasonable or safe option at all.
so sad to see that the daughter is all away leaving her father like this. she is just a bad daughter.
He's a bad father. 😢
She should stay away to save her sanity. This man seems sweet but his behaviour is extremely toxic.
@@cleansoapmind You dont give up on your parents, we nursed our grandma who was in coma for 8 months.
@@silveryrealm nice that she had (cough, cough) "angels" taking care of her, but that's not reality for everyone.
You don't know anything about why the daughter stayed away from her father---who is very likely dead now, the episode having been made waaaay back in the very early seasons of the show (2009i to 2013)---you only see what the producer wanted to put on camera, nothing more.
Don't criticize what you're utterly clueless about. You need to remember, or perhaps learn, that God said not to judge others, because the way you judge them is how YOU are going to be judged.
It doesn't matter, either, whether you believe in God, or not, that judgment IS going to happen, so don't be criticizing others for things of which you have zero personal knowledge. You don't know her, you don't know what she may have endured, you haven't been any part of her life.
