Nicki if you’re reading this….I too lost my husband to suicide at 31 yrs of age. He was abusive and a drug addict. I finally left him and he took his life. Leaving me to raise our 2 children and one being autistic. I got medical help and picked myself back up piece by piece. When you’re in the thick of it, it seem impossible to get through. Time is a healer just a slow one. It’s been almost 20 yrs since he passed and my life is much better. That day will always haunt me but I can cope with it today. Death was a friend to me. I’m able to live today and have a beautiful grand baby. A friend once told me “this to shall pass” and you know what Nicki……it has. I wish you a wonderful happy life. Tonya🌺
The great thing about Nikki, is as she has a great job, now she has a home that is able to be seen by anyone, without any upset, she can pay someone to come at least one day a week, to keep everything okay. This should be a happy outcome, ongoing.
How can someone complain that you don’t do enough work for free? Especially when you recycle their cans and buy everybody new sheets and pillows as well as new food and free cleaning products? Thank you Auri, Sini, and scrub Daddy!
@@DarkKittycat It is not the people that she helps that complain. It is people online that complain. And she was not out of money, Aurii mentioned that, but she was ashamed to pay local help, because they'd know her.
While I thoroughly enjoy Auri’s cleaning and her many cleaning tips, what sets her apart is her deep compassion and understanding of the people she is helping. She is nonjudgmental about the problems the homeowner have, it is always the humaneness that keeps me subscribed and watching. Thank you, Auri.
In an early video she explained how she had depression from age 18 to 24 and then she took a job as a cleaner for a large company and found it to be like therapy for her, so that is the reason she understands these people and also, how cleaning helps her.
Auri, it would be amazing if a mattress manufacturer would team up with you to provide clean and fresh mattresses for your free cleans. Keep cleaning and helping people!
if she is ever in Houston, the world famous Mattress Mack would be SO on board for donating mattresses to this kind of cause if it was explained to him. he is really smart about doing good charity and PR.
Its too much already what shes doing. Those people should do something too. It wasnt that hard to make own garbage, but cleaning it?! If they really want new fresh life, they will buy whatever they need
There are so many factory direct matress places these days. A new mattress isnt the big expense it used to be. ( Unless you want a branded orthapedic one).She's already saved them the massive fee a professional cleaning company would have charged .
Sometimes having money to pay for a cleaning service isn’t enough since the shame that comes with mental health issues makes it terrifying to ask for help, so it makes sense to ask someone who they can trust and feel like they won’t be shamed by. Nicki and everyone else in this situation deserve help from someone like Auri, and I wish everyone could get it regardless of their financial situation ♥️
Nikki is going to be ok, because she asked for help. And she will probably “pay it forward,” helping someone else going through a similar situation. I believe in her.
I love her channel so much, I learned so much from her physically and mentally. I suffer from severe depression and constantly lose a purpose to live each day, 7 years of r@pe by a pedo did SO much damage to me mentally and physically. I lost so much of my spark and happiness. Whenever I watch her videos I feel happy, I feel good, i feel like I’m accepted for who I am as a person, in a way I feel like she’s my guardian angel who cheers me on to clean, I feel motivated to clean. Then I clean, even if it’s little, that little cleaning turns to deep cleaning and I feel INCREDIBLE. I fall into such a deep sleep where I don’t need to wake up and be afraid, I feel refreshed and recharged. Even if it’s temporary, it goes a long way. I adore this woman so much and hope one day I get to help clean houses for those who are struggling just like me, I don’t want them to think they’re alone. Because of her, she’s the reason why I find the energy to clean
There’s been relatively new research that depression is linked to the gut microbiome and problems/ imbalances with it. I’m wondering if you’ve ever heard of this? Of course I’m not suggesting you stop your current regimes, but trying to eat good portions of fermented food and/ or taking probiotics might help you. I’ve never had severe depression but I know what it’s like to suffer with mental health. Take a look into the microbiome and depression if you can. Wishing you the best 😊
I just helped a young widow clean a house you could barely walk through. After several Saturdays we got the living room and kitchen clean..2 different times after that friends knocked on her door and she happily invited them in,making the 5 days of cleaning and 5 van loads of donations so so worth it. You do a great service for so many and it DOES change self esteem.
Hey Auri! I´m normally not that type of person that writes comments but I wantet to thank you. A year ago i struggled very much with cleaning my own apartment because of my mental health. I moved out from my parents home and lived the first time without them. At home I didn´t really learn how to clean because my mum did everything. Your videos helped me a lot with cleaning and now most of the time I enjoy it. You don´t just help the people from your videos, you also help your community. You are such a wonderful person. Thank you for what you are doing. xoxo Lara
You can be surrounded by people but still be alone. Social Media is a tool where we can project the perfect life, relationship but it's only a snippet. Nicki is a survivor and she's spent so long surviving. I love this restart that you've given her.
Auri, i am 69 and suffer from chronic pain, but your videos inspire me. I'm a new subscriber. I watch one or two videos a day and get more inspired to vacuum, do dishes and laundry, clean the bathrooms, take out the "trashes" (💓), recycle the junk mail, declutter, change sheets and towels, donate unused items, etc. I love to cook healthy food from scratch, but that makes dirty dishes and spills. But you help motivate me to keep my house looking nice so i can have guests at any time and just have to do a quick straightening up!
Omg are people really complaining that you're not cleaning windows in a major clean up operation that you're doing for free, i mean seriously?! Priorities, people!!
Yep, how often I see people commenting on why she didn't do the windows, didn't remove the fridge to clean behind it, or even why she didn't buy so and so for the person 🙈
It's never enough, for some who constantly do that it's all or nothing. I watch Chinese house cleaners who do all that but then again they work in teams of five or six so a lot more gets done with more hands on it. And they have a supervisor come through after to evaluate their work and sterilize the environment with a UV blue light mister.
@@animeangel1983 yes, I watched those videos too and you're right, they work in a huge team of people and they're paid but Auri is one person, I mean I think it's more important to have a hygienic kitchen or bathroom rather than a clean window or clean underneath a fridge, if I were to choose.
@@AutisMinasClearingClutter that is just a bit of liberty, tbh i mean it's lovely if she were to buy something but that's just a really sweet gesture and absolutely she should not be expected to do this. The audacity.
Often when people experience trauma, their bodies are constantly on high alert, using up a lot of energy just to get through the day. Then, when they get out of the traumatic situation, it's common to feel very exhausted for a long time, because the body is worn out and no longer in survival mode. If you have any friends who have gotten out of abusive relationships, it might be a good idea to check up on them afterwards and help them out with chores if you can.
This is one of the most nicely appointed homes you've cleaned. You've given your client a clean new slate, which I hope gives her the fresh start she needs.
Yes, you can tell the homeowner really cares about her home and surrounding herself with lovely things. She just had a really hard time and needed a little help to start fresh. Auri gave her a new start on life.
Thank you, Auri❤ My dad was a hoarder. He died a month ago😢 But now I have to clean up his house, and your videos help me go through the cleaning so much
I grew up in a very toxic and abusive home, and I'll be the first to admit that the stress from traumatic events rarely hits you while you're in survival mode. You can't afford to show weakness around someone that will take advantage of it and exert their power over you, so once you leave or escape that situation, it can hit you like a tonne of bricks. Sometimes my home gets cluttered or messy (no where near this level), and that's when I know that I'm struggling with something inside, and the mess I feel in my mind leaks out into the physical home. It's very hard to feel like you're making any progress overcoming the trauma of abuse when your home is a wreck. Auri, you're truly an angel helping all these people. You're one of the only content creators that I truly believe to be 100% genuine and a really good person. I hope you get to clean for the rest of your days
You're also severely burnt out from just surviving. Sometimes just getting up, getting cleaned, and feeding and watering yourself takes EVERYTHING. Trauma is no joke.
I came here to say the exact same thing: the depression comes *after* the trauma-inducing situation ends. While it pertains your high adrenaline level is keeping you upright, once things calm down, the tension that was keeping you going is disappearing and you have no energy left.
My problem isn’t my house ,it’s my room! It’s always everything else needs done first! When it’s time for bed I’m out, but like you I feel deep down my room represents my mind set. Maybe that’s why I dream of tornadoes lol
Nikki has a beautiful home. She is the same age as me. I pray she continues to ask for help when needed. My best friend and I go over to each others homes just to help each other clean our own homes lol. We struggle sometimes by ourselves as adhd and depression are hard on both of us. Keep strong Nikki if you do see this video and messages!
I completely feel for this woman. My life has had a ton of trauma and then in 2020, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when I was 27 or 28. It has been soooo hard for me to keep my apartment clean. Thankfully, my MS is mild right now so I have some energy and I have been doing a lot better with keeping it up.
Wow. This video really hit differently today. It just goes to show that from the outside someone can be portraying the lifestyle that everyone thinks they want and deep down they are hiding so much pain. Thank you Auri for telling Nikkis story with such compassion and trying to help us understand what your clients go through. Money or no money people can still be hurt and damaged. I hope that Nikkis illness is somewhat manageable for her and she is able to enjoy her new clean home and find some peace. 💞
This story made me cry. I know how hard it can be to take care of yourself and your home when you're chronically ill, and how your life gets turned upside down when you get a diagnosis like that. I just did my dishes that had been piling up for a few days because I had a crappy episode and a cold. It happens so fast when you're thinking "I'll do that tomorrow" every day. Thank you for helping people!
I struggle with keeping my spaces organized and I’ve harbored a lot of shame for most of my life. Hearing the way you talk about the messes you clean and the people you help is more healing than any therapy I’ve ever had for this (although it’s not as bad these days). Don’t ever stop. I’ll be using these videos as my body-double for cleaning in the future which is also something invaluable to me. Thank you.
You are so eloquent. “Imagine inviting four strangers into your home to show them all of your pain.” You are also incredibly compassionate. “I don’t care if the home gets dirty again, I want them to have a memory of living in a clean space.” I hope more people see this and become more understanding of their fellow humans. I wish you every happiness life has to offer, you deserve it. 💛
This is such a beautiful home. All she needed was a helping hand. When you don't feel good, it's hard to keep things clean. And the more you bring into the house, the worse it gets. every little thing on a table ends up on the floor. I can track bits of paper into other parts of the house on my shoes. So I know how it can get. Nikki was very blessed to get you to come and help her.
I have a theory about why people struggle to keep up with housework after a violent relationship- when you leave a highly controlled environment, that control and structure is no longer there, and suddenly the person is expected to create their own structure and routine which they are not used to. I struggled massively with my housework after leaving a domestic violence relationship- what helped me was establishing a routine and doing a small amount of cleaning every day. But it is hard when you are traumatised and have no self-esteem to pick yourself up and realise you are worthy of a good life and clean house.
I completely agree with this theory. I was in an abusive relationship where he was ALSO extremely controlling about cleaning and exactly how each thing was done, down to the smallest details. When he was gone, my house turned into a clutter nightmare. I saw it as a symptom of my defiance, but hadn't realized how he took away my ability to think and structure those activities for myself. Huh. Wow. Thank you for sharing your theory, I hadn't even considered that, I only looked at it like I was bucking against his authority, and I was depressed and coping. This could definitely be part of how I got like that.
I still don't get it, why so many people are saying, Auri stages everything. How does that work? Does she go up to random people and be like, "Hey, can I ruin your place for a couple years to build up dirt and stuff. You have to live in there though. I will fix it somewhen in the future!"???
Yeah! They are those "smart" people, not the sheeps who believe everything. I'm Finnish and solely procuring those cans would be infeasible in Finland due to the deposit system that we have. It would just be to expensive to buy all those cans and empty them. Beer and other soft drinks are quite pricy here. And of course every other thing that just is crazy to think that you can stage.
The decluttering and cleaning work you do *for free* is way more than enough. Some paid workers would refuse to do that (I'm not judging them). So you don't have to justify yourself to people who are just sat, watching you behind a screen. Plus the tenants would more likely want to go though their own stuff and organize by themselves since it's their personnal possessions. You're already making a huge difference and are well documented about mental health and other factors that might interfere with people's ability to take care of their environment. I want to thank you for this. I also see homes in really bad conditions in my internship (as a social worker). And if we don't do the cleaning ourselves, we try to offer to call some specialised services to help the person.
I’ve cleaned houses like this for friends and family..drug and alcohol ,finally in remission,long term cancer and death in family..all kinds of struggles..I love that you plow through with no judgement..
I will never understand how people can complain about you not cleaning more, especially when it's all for free. This is A LOT of hard work and you're an amazing human being!
Auri, thank you for helping make Nikki life a little better. I don't always wash my own windows. I know that dealing with the passing of my husband a month ago, I've lost interest in keeping my home clean. If I get the dishes done and the litter boxes clean in a day, then I'm doing good. God bless you, Auri, and your team of workers.🧡🦋
It makes me so sad when people comment that you could do more. I struggled with severe post partum depression and even then my home was not to this magnitude. But I fully and deeply understand how health problems, addiction, mental health trouble, all of the things that life can dump on you and can really affect one's ability to keep up a home. You are such a blessing and give people a beautiful new start. Sometimes that's all it takes ❤
No one should say anything negative about what you do. You turned her home from "trash to treasure", and it's clean enough to hire a cleaning service who is paid to do windows and walls and all the stuff you don't have time for. Love your videos.
The body picks up sadness and grief and stores them in our heart/ lungs, etc. We hear of people dying of a broken heart, but maybe the situation with Nikki's husband was so shocking to her, it helped facilitate this illness. My Mom got really sick when she divorced my Dad for 4 years and they thought she had cancer, but when my Mom's Outlook on life improved, so did her illness. She is still enjoying life now, 40 years later! So, I hope Nikki also is that way. Fixing her home and getting her life back in track helps her health as well!❤
As someone who has fibromyalgia, I understand the wait until tomorrow to do the dishes and such. My husband is supportive and a darling, but I have felt guilt because I berate myself for being "lazy". She has had a tragic situation of an abusive man who built his ego on her pain. Asking for your help is a wonderful step. I hope she is getting counseling too. Interesting, my husband worked with women escaping abusive men, often he was the first man they could trust.
I recently helped my messy son clean his house- it was almost as bad as this one. I filled his 2 bins then stacked about 50 large garbage bags on the back porch. He is actually getting rid of 1 bag a week. His father lived the same way but he was mostly with me and I am clean, tidy and organised. Anyway my point is- he is recognising that the rubbish needs to go; sometimes people just need help at the start to get them moving.
Auri, you are doing more than enough for these people. I think seeing their homes "liveable" can make them motivated to clean themselves, so it's fine if something is still dirty or unorganized.
Auri you are such an amazing person❤ the fact that you are putting all that time and energy to help a person in need is amazing. You really deserve all the praise. Before i found your channel i didn't knew the connection between cleaning and mental health. But when i was depressed i did understand how hard it is to do the smallest things. Thank you for helping them and being compassionate. I love you and your channel girl💗🌸
Auri I completely understand you. I understand that you do what you can and you travel great distances to help ppl for free. I used to live in a very messy place and always felt ashamed to ask for help. I was always thankful when I was able to pay for someone to help me clean. I am still messy and there is clutter but it was not as bad as it used to be. Thank you for your kind heart, hard work and so much more. You are one of 4 youtubers that I rely on for cleaning motivation. If you ever find yourself in British Columbia, Canada, I know of many ppl that could use your help!
There's an important saying "You survived the abuse, you are going to survive the recovery." Violent partners or parents also often shame their victims for not keeping perfect order, that can backfire. And if she is chronically ill and was abused she may have adrenal fatigue on top. The disorder translates to, "My home is not safe." Poor Nikki, I get how her Instagram became her comfort. ❤❤❤😢😢😢
This is wonderful, Auri! If I were Nikki, this would give me so much hope. It would be great if the people you helped immediately reached out for some cleaning help to come once a week. They could invite them over when the apartment is still clean and beautiful after you left, to avoid getting into the same circle again. Good luck everyone out there ❤
Auri, I dont know if you guys do this in Europe, but in the US sometimes we do a sage smudge or burn palo santo in a home where there has been sadness and tragedy. Even if the benefits are just attributable to the placebo effect, it really does make a difference in the perceived atmosphere of the home. Watching this video, I really wish I could send Nikki a bottle of sage water to mist around to mark the beginning of a new relationship with her home! Thank you for what you have done for her!
Isn't that native American? We aren't. The equivalent would probably be to place offerings to the vættir (spirits) or the tomte/nisse (house spirits). But people don't really do that anymore, other than sometimes symbolically at Yul.
@@SIC647 Yes, the indigenous people of Peru discovered the benefits of Palo Santo and it was the native people of the western US who used Sage ceremonially. My grandmother was Cherokee, but I believe anyone can learn from the indigenous peoples of the world, who have retained wisdom about nature and spirituality that Westerners have forgotten. 😊💕
@ktrayn78 That Westerner have forgotten about? You must mean USAmericans. Because by your definition, we Nordics are both Indigenous and Western. We didn't lose our original, prehistoric culture, but we also were winners in that awful "game" of who gets to keep their own lands, and rule themselves.
I wonder if the reason people often spiral after leaving abusive relationships is that their contant fight or flight is disengaged and they find themselves inert and exhausted after being on edge for so long in the relationship. Thank you Auri for all you do and giving people a chance at a fresh start 💖 World's best cleaner
Nikki’s home is beautiful and I’m so glad she can finally experience that. Good job to the cleaners ❤. People like Auri, Barbie and others make me wish I could help somebody by cleaning their apartment and giving a fresh start.
You are a truly compassionate and loving person. Your kindness and non judgemental personality is what makes this channel so special. It cannot be easy to clean up layers of ancient filth and rubbish. Please remember you are one of this worlds angels. Much love Sally xxxxx
It doesn't matter if Nikki is wealthy or not, she needed help and you and your lovely team helped her! I hope she is able to pick up where you left off and reclaim her home.
Auri- What you do for people is incredible. You offer hope, a new beginning and for some you save them. Your compassion is beautiful and inspiring. Nikki - you have had an incredibly difficult journey and you are still fighting! Never be ashamed of what it takes to survive because it truly doesn’t matter. What matters is your life, your smile, your heart. I was touched by your story because it so closely matches a very close family member. Anyone close to you would never judge you, if anything they would want to help. I hope you find peace and joy on the rest of your journey.
Hello Auri and your friends! You did a wonderful work! Nikki will have a new start with her home cleaned. I wish her all the best in her life. Depression and anxiety expressed differently in people. I suffered deep depression and OCD I started to clean for 10 to 15 hours a day! I was unemployed which upset me so much! Even when i found a tiny bit of dust, i started to clean the whole apartment again! I was so crazy that i cleaned the kitchen and the bathroom floors with a tooth brush and iron everything and even steamed cleaning towels! I was totally crazy. My family, friends and professional help got me out of that situation. Best regards chrissy
I've never had a serious cleaning problem like this but I know how debilitating depression and sickness can be. Thank you for helping this girl, I hope it helps her. Before I found your videos I never heard.of Scrub daddy products, but they are now my favorites! I'm in the US so we don't have Sink products....yet! Thanks for making me love to clean!
Auri is approaching 3 MILLION. Subscribers! Isn't that fantastic. I am in Australia and have seen SCRUB DADDY popping up in smaller towns in the country!!! It is spreading around the world!
it surprises me with all these people that they don't get physically ill more, from all the germs, i think you are a fantastic person to do all these, with no judgement on the people, i wish there were more people like you in the world
You seem to be one of the most pure-hearted people I have ever witnessed! It is incredible what you do and I love how you react to criticism. Keep on rocking, Auri!
9:46 thank you for your videos! I know how hard it can be to take care of your home with mental illness. But your videos have helped me immensely! I do one room at a time using your tips and my home is much easier to clean. Plus my attitude towards cleaning has changed just watching how much fun you have! Bless you! You are doing Gods work!
Auri, you clean like 99.99999% of a totally trashed home. It is pathetic how people complain that you don't clean absolutely everything. How dare you not wipe smudges off the wall! It's just ridiculous! You do it all for free, and you leave a few personal things and sometimes garbage for them to get rid of. You keep doing you and ignore the jealous ignorance. ❤
So true!! Especially since she said she flew to Sweden, maybe she just ran out of time because she had a flight to catch. You are right, it’s so ridiculous to criticize Auri for not doing everything
You are wearing a mask. ❤ Thank you for protecting yourself! We love and need you as our cheerleader, and Nikki does as well. ❤❤❤ Thank you, Sini Cleaning! Shopping doesn't help that much, but it's something to hold onto when people aren't available for a reason.
Amazing job❤. This fresh start will be just what Nikki needs and I’m sure she is beyond grateful for your help and for caring at a difficult time in her life. Thank you for changing one life at a time!
This video made me cry. You are such a wonderful person. I wish more people like you existed. I don't mean to compare myself to Nikki, because each person suffers their own problems uniquely, but I too have suffered from a long term emotional and psychologically abusive relationship. I'm now a month free from what had been my permanent burden to carry for so long, losing myself to ensure someone elses happiness and feeling hopeful that someday things would have been better. There is nothing worse than feeling stuck and looking at yourself in the mirror and not recognizing yourself, while having so many past memories and wondering when all the happiness went away. Thank you for your words and your actions, they made me realize how proud I have to be of myself for picking myself up again.
Not only are they letting strangers into their home to help, they're letting all of us in to see it as well. Every one of them is afraid of others seeing the mess, but that's exactly what happens here. They're all so brave!
She does have a beautiful home! Thank you for gifting her with a fantastic cleaning job! She has almost too much to bear right now. I agree with what others have stated as well. How can anyone complain about you not cleaning the walls and windows! Given all the time you spend cleaning up and hauling out trash, you hardly have time to clean anything! You do great work with the time given!! I clean homes myself. I know how hard you are working! 😁
What a beautiful home that Nikki can now take pride in. I hope it gives her that boost of motivation and when it isn't overwhelming it is easier to just commit to 15 minutes at least of picking up and cleaning per day.
I try to pick one room daily to focus on , dusting, picking up items that happen to end up on the dressers, etc. the rest get a quick going over. It’s never really messy or dirty, things have been neglected lately due to decline in my husbands health ❤
This brought tears to my eyes, she deserves every bit of help she asked for and more, I'm so happy she reached out and it inspires me to reach out for help in my life too
It always starts with 'I'll do that tomorrow' and being alone and cut-off from family and friends. When no one ever comes to your home, you let go of things and then it gets worse and you always have excuses never to let anyone come home.. and then it worse and worse and suddenly you don't know where to start to clean anything. You give up and continue living in the mess as it piles up more and more. This is where you need an angel to come and help you out. Someone who will walk in and just know how to get stuff organised, clean and give you a new life. Check in on your friends and relatives when you are doing well. Especially those you have not heard from or are going reclusive. And when you find yourself going down a spiral, reach out! Reach out to a neighbour, a co-worker, invite friends home to motivate you to get your home together before it gets too bad. It takes a village to teach a child and it takes a village to take care of each other.
Thank you too your sponsor, your work are amazing. Nobody should judge, that condition can get to us all, sickness, depression, abuse and other things in life that we can't controle. Great job ❤❤ Big hugs from Denmark ❤❤❤
(Trying again to leave a comment. It said it saved. Am not sure.) Thank you for helping others reclaim their lives and their dignity. It's important. Have done the same for others. Your helps people to be able to be functional as a human being again. Your compassion is very healing and it will heal their entire life. Thank you.
Whoever says you don't do this or that has no idea the kind of work time and dedication it takes to do the work you do. I used to work cleaning apartments for an apartment complex for five years. Believe me, some of the apartments were deplorable and I did it all. Some days I wanted to quit go home and cry. I could not understand how people would live in such conditions. You are amazing keep up your lives saving job.
Seu trabalho é uma ajuda humanitária. Você devolve a dignidade às pessoas e a possibilidade de reconstrução psíquica. Trabalho irretocável! Aprendo muito! Gratidão!
this video makes me feel hope, ive had the same story with my ex, he failed at killing himself and started being more violent after. luckily now ive moved back to my parents and have a better life
Hi Auri, even in the second video you can see how much work you all put in - great!!!🤩 I think it's okay that you don't clean everything, because then the owner has a reason to start over just because the client cleans up a little in the cleaned apartment. It's a new start for the client, and I believe that it will stimulate him mentally and make him/her feel better.🤗
Auri, you can do everything and more, but there will always be the naysayers and haters telling you, "you missed a bit." What you are doing with your time is a beautiful thing, and you make massive impact in people's lives. Auri, you are a wonderful person and do not deserve the hate for missing one or two things. And I'm sure, given the extent of most of these homes your clients will not notice that maybe a window haven't been cleaned, or the walls not touched either. Keep doing as you do, an amazing job. And thank you for these videos. You're awesome! 💖
I can almost inagine Nikki's face when she sees her beautiful home, and yet, I know what I picture falls short of her true reaction. Thank you so much, Aurikatatriina, for helping Nikki. You have given her a restart and made peaceful, and comfortable spaces. Now that her living space is cleaned, which she hardly dated hope for, she can now see hope for her future. I wish I could hug Nikki too, make her a cup of tea or coffee and just listen to her, no questions, just listen. I have great hope for Nikki. That she asked a kind stranger for help, means she is wise, brave and determined. I believe Nikki can do anything she wants to do and with patience for herself, and intention, she will be healthier in mind, body and heart.
Wow, what a beautiful apartment! She has nice style in decorating too. She just needs a hamper for her clothes, & to remember to throw away her garbage when she gets up. I wish her the best. Another fabulous job!❤
Auri, I will never get tired of your heart-mending videos. This was a beautiful transformation! Thank you for helping her because Nicky's note was so sad. Please keep going, because you help us keep going!
Sending Nikki a lot of love 🧡🧡🧡🧡 I hope all will be well from now on. I’m so glad she got the gumption and courage to ask for help. This is a major step in the right direction 🙌🏽
In the USA, our mattresses are so thick. Sometimes we lay memory foam toppers on them that looks like what you refer to as the mattress. We use fitted sheets over the mattress and the topper. Interesting to see how other parts of the globe do things. I love the bathrooms that can be rinsed down with the shower sprayer! We have a separated washer and dryer to clean clothes. In USA they are in a small laundry room or closet, not in bathroom. In Sweden your homes are very useful spaces! Fun to see it all transform into beautiful, healing space! ❤
Auri you are such a beautiful woman, inside and out. I have been in a similar situation, a long time ago. Nicki, if you read this, I am proud of you, you are stronger that you realize 💪🏻 Lots of love and hugs to you ❤❤❤
I loved when you said you don’t care if it gets dirty again. You are so kind and understanding of the people you help. One of the hardest things that I have had happen was paying a family member to help me clean, I have a hard time with keeping things clean for a lot of reasons, and having that person say if I come over again and it’s messy again I’m going to kill you. Said in jest, but so hurtful. I never wanted to let them come again. I paid for their help, but they mocked me, such a hurtful experience. So many hurtful family memories revolve around clutter and cleaning, I just love seeing your patience and kindness.
Aaaw Auri isn't it just wonderful to be able to spread your good work and love to beyond Finland. So amazing to know that this young woman will come home to a home that signifies Hope and a new start 💕
Bless you for helping Nikki ... she is an amazing strong woman and has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to be ashamed of. Reaching out for help took amazing strength.
Nicki if you’re reading this….I too lost my husband to suicide at 31 yrs of age. He was abusive and a drug addict. I finally left him and he took his life. Leaving me to raise our 2 children and one being autistic. I got medical help and picked myself back up piece by piece. When you’re in the thick of it, it seem impossible to get through. Time is a healer just a slow one. It’s been almost 20 yrs since he passed and my life is much better. That day will always haunt me but I can cope with it today. Death was a friend to me. I’m able to live today and have a beautiful grand baby. A friend once told me “this to shall pass” and you know what Nicki……it has. I wish you a wonderful happy life. Tonya🌺

How can anyone criticize you for not washing the windows? Just removing the garbage and cleaning the kitchen and bathroom make a world of difference.
And getting rid of the rotten, stinky food! Ugh
What a huge job she dose!!
Right. She does 99% of the cleaning and people will always find something to criticize 🙄🙄
And it's a FREE cleaning!
The great thing about Nikki, is as she has a great job, now she has a home that is able to be seen by anyone, without any upset, she can pay someone to come at least one day a week, to keep everything okay.
This should be a happy outcome, ongoing.
How can someone complain that you don’t do enough work for free? Especially when you recycle their cans and buy everybody new sheets and pillows as well as new food and free cleaning products?
Thank you Auri, Sini, and scrub Daddy!
Those who cannot shine try to darken those who do. And Auri is a very, very bright light.
Totally agree!!!!
she could sell one of her luxury bags and pay for a window cleaner if she is really out of money
There are always some who want to suck joy out of things. And I have seen her dust walls and clean windows as needed. Take that, Trolls!
@@DarkKittycat It is not the people that she helps that complain.
It is people online that complain.
And she was not out of money, Aurii mentioned that, but she was ashamed to pay local help, because they'd know her.
While I thoroughly enjoy Auri’s cleaning and her many cleaning tips, what sets her apart is her deep compassion and understanding of the people she is helping. She is nonjudgmental about the problems the homeowner have, it is always the humaneness that keeps me subscribed and watching. Thank you, Auri.
In an early video she explained how she had depression from age 18 to 24 and then she took a job as a cleaner for a large company and found it to be like therapy for her, so that is the reason she understands these people and also, how cleaning helps her.
Yes Auri is such a sweet person and has so much compassion.❤
This is what keeps me coming back as well. It’s like therapy for me to hear her empathy.

Auri, it would be amazing if a mattress manufacturer would team up with you to provide clean and fresh mattresses for your free cleans. Keep cleaning and helping people!
if she is ever in Houston, the world famous Mattress Mack would be SO on board for donating mattresses to this kind of cause if it was explained to him. he is really smart about doing good charity and PR.
Its too much already what shes doing. Those people should do something too. It wasnt that hard to make own garbage, but cleaning it?! If they really want new fresh life, they will buy whatever they need
A mattress company isn't just going to give away mattresses for nothing. Auri makes money from RUclips doing this.
There are so many factory direct matress places these days. A new mattress isnt the big expense it used to be. ( Unless you want a branded orthapedic one).She's already saved them the massive fee a professional cleaning company would have charged .
They do it for PR. As do the sponsors. They all make money in increased sales. @@lillierose5304
Sometimes having money to pay for a cleaning service isn’t enough since the shame that comes with mental health issues makes it terrifying to ask for help, so it makes sense to ask someone who they can trust and feel like they won’t be shamed by. Nicki and everyone else in this situation deserve help from someone like Auri, and I wish everyone could get it regardless of their financial situation ♥️
Nikki is going to be ok, because she asked for help. And she will probably “pay it forward,” helping someone else going through a similar situation. I believe in her.
I too believe in her! ❤️🌎☮️💪
Incredible transformation. I hope it's the new beginning that Nikki deserves.
Absolutely
We all do
To the people that want the walls & windows cleaned. You go & do it. The man part is to declutter & tidy up. What Auri does makes such a difference.
yes, it's easy for ther to say it's not enough when they are just watching from their screen, but wait until they actually try cleaning that
yes, I'm pretty sure they don't have the guts to clean homes like these.
I love her channel so much, I learned so much from her physically and mentally.
I suffer from severe depression and constantly lose a purpose to live each day, 7 years of r@pe by a pedo did SO much damage to me mentally and physically. I lost so much of my spark and happiness. Whenever I watch her videos I feel happy, I feel good, i feel like I’m accepted for who I am as a person, in a way I feel like she’s my guardian angel who cheers me on to clean, I feel motivated to clean. Then I clean, even if it’s little, that little cleaning turns to deep cleaning and I feel INCREDIBLE. I fall into such a deep sleep where I don’t need to wake up and be afraid, I feel refreshed and recharged. Even if it’s temporary, it goes a long way. I adore this woman so much and hope one day I get to help clean houses for those who are struggling just like me, I don’t want them to think they’re alone.
Because of her, she’s the reason why I find the energy to clean
I’m proud of you!! Keep going, mini step after another mini step, they all counts🩵
There’s been relatively new research that depression is linked to the gut microbiome and problems/ imbalances with it. I’m wondering if you’ve ever heard of this? Of course I’m not suggesting you stop your current regimes, but trying to eat good portions of fermented food and/ or taking probiotics might help you. I’ve never had severe depression but I know what it’s like to suffer with mental health. Take a look into the microbiome and depression if you can. Wishing you the best 😊
I feel the exact same way…
Keep going!❤
Keep going❤ I hope you'll be doing better!
I just helped a young widow clean a house you could barely walk through. After several Saturdays we got the living room and kitchen clean..2 different times after that friends knocked on her door and she happily invited them in,making the 5 days of cleaning and 5 van loads of donations so so worth it. You do a great service for so many and it DOES change self esteem.
Hey Auri! I´m normally not that type of person that writes comments but I wantet to thank you. A year ago i struggled very much with cleaning my own apartment because of my mental health. I moved out from my parents home and lived the first time without them. At home I didn´t really learn how to clean because my mum did everything. Your videos helped me a lot with cleaning and now most of the time I enjoy it. You don´t just help the people from your videos, you also help your community. You are such a wonderful person. Thank you for what you are doing. xoxo Lara
❤
You can be surrounded by people but still be alone. Social Media is a tool where we can project the perfect life, relationship but it's only a snippet. Nicki is a survivor and she's spent so long surviving. I love this restart that you've given her.
Auri, i am 69 and suffer from chronic pain, but your videos inspire me. I'm a new subscriber. I watch one or two videos a day and get more inspired to vacuum, do dishes and laundry, clean the bathrooms, take out the "trashes" (💓), recycle the junk mail, declutter, change sheets and towels, donate unused items, etc. I love to cook healthy food from scratch, but that makes dirty dishes and spills. But you help motivate me to keep my house looking nice so i can have guests at any time and just have to do a quick straightening up!
❤
Omg are people really complaining that you're not cleaning windows in a major clean up operation that you're doing for free, i mean seriously?! Priorities, people!!
Yep, how often I see people commenting on why she didn't do the windows, didn't remove the fridge to clean behind it, or even why she didn't buy so and so for the person 🙈
It's never enough, for some who constantly do that it's all or nothing. I watch Chinese house cleaners who do all that but then again they work in teams of five or six so a lot more gets done with more hands on it. And they have a supervisor come through after to evaluate their work and sterilize the environment with a UV blue light mister.
@@animeangel1983 yes, I watched those videos too and you're right, they work in a huge team of people and they're paid but Auri is one person, I mean I think it's more important to have a hygienic kitchen or bathroom rather than a clean window or clean underneath a fridge, if I were to choose.
@@AutisMinasClearingClutter that is just a bit of liberty, tbh i mean it's lovely if she were to buy something but that's just a really sweet gesture and absolutely she should not be expected to do this. The audacity.
@@questionmark9819 It is. A clean kitchen and bathroom is more important than a completely spotless house/apartment.
Often when people experience trauma, their bodies are constantly on high alert, using up a lot of energy just to get through the day.
Then, when they get out of the traumatic situation, it's common to feel very exhausted for a long time, because the body is worn out and no longer in survival mode.
If you have any friends who have gotten out of abusive relationships, it might be a good idea to check up on them afterwards and help them out with chores if you can.
That’s a very thoughtful suggestion. 💜
Perfect comment from someone who knows 👌🏾😊
This is one of the most nicely appointed homes you've cleaned. You've given your client a clean new slate, which I hope gives her the fresh start she needs.
Yes, you can tell the homeowner really cares about her home and surrounding herself with lovely things. She just had a really hard time and needed a little help to start fresh. Auri gave her a new start on life.
Thank you, Auri❤
My dad was a hoarder. He died a month ago😢
But now I have to clean up his house, and your videos help me go through the cleaning so much
I'm so sorry for your loss. And I wish you all the best, power and support during this tough task.
I grew up in a very toxic and abusive home, and I'll be the first to admit that the stress from traumatic events rarely hits you while you're in survival mode. You can't afford to show weakness around someone that will take advantage of it and exert their power over you, so once you leave or escape that situation, it can hit you like a tonne of bricks. Sometimes my home gets cluttered or messy (no where near this level), and that's when I know that I'm struggling with something inside, and the mess I feel in my mind leaks out into the physical home. It's very hard to feel like you're making any progress overcoming the trauma of abuse when your home is a wreck. Auri, you're truly an angel helping all these people. You're one of the only content creators that I truly believe to be 100% genuine and a really good person. I hope you get to clean for the rest of your days
I love how you said the mess in your mind leaks out into your home. It's so true, this helped me see things in a different way. 🤗
You're also severely burnt out from just surviving.
Sometimes just getting up, getting cleaned, and feeding and watering yourself takes EVERYTHING.
Trauma is no joke.
❤ to you!
I came here to say the exact same thing: the depression comes *after* the trauma-inducing situation ends. While it pertains your high adrenaline level is keeping you upright, once things calm down, the tension that was keeping you going is disappearing and you have no energy left.
My problem isn’t my house ,it’s my room! It’s always everything else needs done first! When it’s time for bed I’m out, but like you I feel deep down my room represents my mind set. Maybe that’s why I dream of tornadoes lol
Nikki has a beautiful home. She is the same age as me. I pray she continues to ask for help when needed. My best friend and I go over to each others homes just to help each other clean our own homes lol. We struggle sometimes by ourselves as adhd and depression are hard on both of us. Keep strong Nikki if you do see this video and messages!
I completely feel for this woman. My life has had a ton of trauma and then in 2020, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when I was 27 or 28. It has been soooo hard for me to keep my apartment clean. Thankfully, my MS is mild right now so I have some energy and I have been doing a lot better with keeping it up.
Wow. This video really hit differently today. It just goes to show that from the outside someone can be portraying the lifestyle that everyone thinks they want and deep down they are hiding so much pain. Thank you Auri for telling Nikkis story with such compassion and trying to help us understand what your clients go through. Money or no money people can still be hurt and damaged. I hope that Nikkis illness is somewhat manageable for her and she is able to enjoy her new clean home and find some peace. 💞
This story made me cry. I know how hard it can be to take care of yourself and your home when you're chronically ill, and how your life gets turned upside down when you get a diagnosis like that. I just did my dishes that had been piling up for a few days because I had a crappy episode and a cold. It happens so fast when you're thinking "I'll do that tomorrow" every day.
Thank you for helping people!
I struggle with keeping my spaces organized and I’ve harbored a lot of shame for most of my life. Hearing the way you talk about the messes you clean and the people you help is more healing than any therapy I’ve ever had for this (although it’s not as bad these days). Don’t ever stop. I’ll be using these videos as my body-double for cleaning in the future which is also something invaluable to me. Thank you.
You are so eloquent. “Imagine inviting four strangers into your home to show them all of your pain.” You are also incredibly compassionate. “I don’t care if the home gets dirty again, I want them to have a memory of living in a clean space.” I hope more people see this and become more understanding of their fellow humans. I wish you every happiness life has to offer, you deserve it. 💛
This is such a beautiful home. All she needed was a helping hand. When you don't feel good, it's hard to keep things clean. And the more you bring into the house, the worse it gets. every little thing on a table ends up on the floor. I can track bits of paper into other parts of the house on my shoes. So I know how it can get. Nikki was very blessed to get you to come and help her.
I have a theory about why people struggle to keep up with housework after a violent relationship- when you leave a highly controlled environment, that control and structure is no longer there, and suddenly the person is expected to create their own structure and routine which they are not used to. I struggled massively with my housework after leaving a domestic violence relationship- what helped me was establishing a routine and doing a small amount of cleaning every day. But it is hard when you are traumatised and have no self-esteem to pick yourself up and realise you are worthy of a good life and clean house.
❤
Omg this is me was raised in an abusive home and my father scared us so we kept to routine now on my own am a hot mess I miss the strictness
I completely agree with this theory. I was in an abusive relationship where he was ALSO extremely controlling about cleaning and exactly how each thing was done, down to the smallest details. When he was gone, my house turned into a clutter nightmare. I saw it as a symptom of my defiance, but hadn't realized how he took away my ability to think and structure those activities for myself. Huh. Wow. Thank you for sharing your theory, I hadn't even considered that, I only looked at it like I was bucking against his authority, and I was depressed and coping. This could definitely be part of how I got like that.
I still don't get it, why so many people are saying, Auri stages everything. How does that work? Does she go up to random people and be like, "Hey, can I ruin your place for a couple years to build up dirt and stuff. You have to live in there though. I will fix it somewhen in the future!"???
Yeah! They are those "smart" people, not the sheeps who believe everything. I'm Finnish and solely procuring those cans would be infeasible in Finland due to the deposit system that we have. It would just be to expensive to buy all those cans and empty them. Beer and other soft drinks are quite pricy here. And of course every other thing that just is crazy to think that you can stage.
The decluttering and cleaning work you do *for free* is way more than enough. Some paid workers would refuse to do that (I'm not judging them). So you don't have to justify yourself to people who are just sat, watching you behind a screen. Plus the tenants would more likely want to go though their own stuff and organize by themselves since it's their personnal possessions.
You're already making a huge difference and are well documented about mental health and other factors that might interfere with people's ability to take care of their environment. I want to thank you for this. I also see homes in really bad conditions in my internship (as a social worker). And if we don't do the cleaning ourselves, we try to offer to call some specialised services to help the person.
I’ve cleaned houses like this for friends and family..drug and alcohol ,finally in remission,long term cancer and death in family..all kinds of struggles..I love that you plow through with no judgement..
I will never understand how people can complain about you not cleaning more, especially when it's all for free. This is A LOT of hard work and you're an amazing human being!
Auri, thank you for helping make Nikki life a little better.
I don't always wash my own windows.
I know that dealing with the passing of my husband a month ago, I've lost interest in keeping my home clean. If I get the dishes done and the litter boxes clean in a day, then I'm doing good.
God bless you, Auri, and your team of workers.🧡🦋
It makes me so sad when people comment that you could do more. I struggled with severe post partum depression and even then my home was not to this magnitude. But I fully and deeply understand how health problems, addiction, mental health trouble, all of the things that life can dump on you and can really affect one's ability to keep up a home. You are such a blessing and give people a beautiful new start. Sometimes that's all it takes ❤
No one should say anything negative about what you do. You turned her home from "trash to treasure", and it's clean enough to hire a cleaning service who is paid to do windows and walls and all the stuff you don't have time for. Love your videos.
The body picks up sadness and grief and stores them in our heart/ lungs, etc. We hear of people dying of a broken heart, but maybe the situation with Nikki's husband was so shocking to her, it helped facilitate this illness. My Mom got really sick when she divorced my Dad for 4 years and they thought she had cancer, but when my Mom's Outlook on life improved, so did her illness. She is still enjoying life now, 40 years later! So, I hope Nikki also is that way. Fixing her home and getting her life back in track helps her health as well!❤
Imagine the loss this woman experienced right before a global pandemic. So much love to her 💜
Finally, I am not the only one who loves deep cleaning. Thank you for making me feel that I am not the only one like this ❤
I’m One of those deep cleaners also, I feel like there’s no reason to clean at all unless it’s deep cleaned 🤷♀️. Works for me. Lol
@@pamboone6921 me too 😂💗
Turkcesini izlemek istoyorum😢
Me too!
I do deep cleaning and organizing for my friends who need help, and it is so satisfying.
As someone who has fibromyalgia, I understand the wait until tomorrow to do the dishes and such. My husband is supportive and a darling, but I have felt guilt because I berate myself for being "lazy". She has had a tragic situation of an abusive man who built his ego on her pain. Asking for your help is a wonderful step. I hope she is getting counseling too. Interesting, my husband worked with women escaping abusive men, often he was the first man they could trust.
I recently helped my messy son clean his house- it was almost as bad as this one.
I filled his 2 bins then stacked about 50 large garbage bags on the back porch.
He is actually getting rid of 1 bag a week.
His father lived the same way but he was mostly with me and I am clean, tidy and organised.
Anyway my point is- he is recognising that the rubbish needs to go; sometimes people just need help at the start to get them moving.
Auri, you are doing more than enough for these people. I think seeing their homes "liveable" can make them motivated to clean themselves, so it's fine if something is still dirty or unorganized.
You don't have to defend yourself. You do an incredible job....every single time. Be proud of what you do. ..every single time.
Auri you are such an amazing person❤ the fact that you are putting all that time and energy to help a person in need is amazing. You really deserve all the praise. Before i found your channel i didn't knew the connection between cleaning and mental health. But when i was depressed i did understand how hard it is to do the smallest things. Thank you for helping them and being compassionate. I love you and your channel girl💗🌸
"I don't know if it helped, but she at least tried " ❤❤❤ I love your compassion and perception
Auri I completely understand you. I understand that you do what you can and you travel great distances to help ppl for free. I used to live in a very messy place and always felt ashamed to ask for help. I was always thankful when I was able to pay for someone to help me clean. I am still messy and there is clutter but it was not as bad as it used to be. Thank you for your kind heart, hard work and so much more. You are one of 4 youtubers that I rely on for cleaning motivation. If you ever find yourself in British Columbia, Canada, I know of many ppl that could use your help!
There's an important saying "You survived the abuse, you are going to survive the recovery."
Violent partners or parents also often shame their victims for not keeping perfect order, that can backfire. And if she is chronically ill and was abused she may have adrenal fatigue on top. The disorder translates to, "My home is not safe."
Poor Nikki, I get how her Instagram became her comfort. ❤❤❤😢😢😢
This is wonderful, Auri! If I were Nikki, this would give me so much hope. It would be great if the people you helped immediately reached out for some cleaning help to come once a week. They could invite them over when the apartment is still clean and beautiful after you left, to avoid getting into the same circle again.
Good luck everyone out there ❤
Auri, I dont know if you guys do this in Europe, but in the US sometimes we do a sage smudge or burn palo santo in a home where there has been sadness and tragedy. Even if the benefits are just attributable to the placebo effect, it really does make a difference in the perceived atmosphere of the home. Watching this video, I really wish I could send Nikki a bottle of sage water to mist around to mark the beginning of a new relationship with her home! Thank you for what you have done for her!
Isn't that native American? We aren't.
The equivalent would probably be to place offerings to the vættir (spirits) or the tomte/nisse (house spirits). But people don't really do that anymore, other than sometimes symbolically at Yul.
@@SIC647 Yes, the indigenous people of Peru discovered the benefits of Palo Santo and it was the native people of the western US who used Sage ceremonially. My grandmother was Cherokee, but I believe anyone can learn from the indigenous peoples of the world, who have retained wisdom about nature and spirituality that Westerners have forgotten. 😊💕
@@SIC647maybe that's why Auri often leaves a little plant? For the house spirits 😊
This is a really beautiful sentiment. 🩷
@ktrayn78 That Westerner have forgotten about? You must mean USAmericans.
Because by your definition, we Nordics are both Indigenous and Western. We didn't lose our original, prehistoric culture, but we also were winners in that awful "game" of who gets to keep their own lands, and rule themselves.
I wonder if the reason people often spiral after leaving abusive relationships is that their contant fight or flight is disengaged and they find themselves inert and exhausted after being on edge for so long in the relationship. Thank you Auri for all you do and giving people a chance at a fresh start 💖 World's best cleaner
Nikki’s home is beautiful and I’m so glad she can finally experience that. Good job to the cleaners ❤. People like Auri, Barbie and others make me wish I could help somebody by cleaning their apartment and giving a fresh start.
You are a truly compassionate and loving person. Your kindness and non judgemental personality is what makes this channel so special. It cannot be easy to clean up layers of ancient filth and rubbish. Please remember you are one of this worlds angels. Much love Sally xxxxx
The before and after pics are stunning! You are totally changing lives!
I love how you put a positive spin on all of it and truly care about their well-being. ❤
It doesn't matter if Nikki is wealthy or not, she needed help and you and your lovely team helped her! I hope she is able to pick up where you left off and reclaim her home.
Wow! She really has a lovely apartment. I hope this gives the owner some peace of mind to restart their life. You and your team, did an amazing job!
As someone with bipolar 2 and depression, God bless you for what you do
Auri- What you do for people is incredible. You offer hope, a new beginning and for some you save them. Your compassion is beautiful and inspiring.
Nikki - you have had an incredibly difficult journey and you are still fighting! Never be ashamed of what it takes to survive because it truly doesn’t matter. What matters is your life, your smile, your heart. I was touched by your story because it so closely matches a very close family member. Anyone close to you would never judge you, if anything they would want to help. I hope you find peace and joy on the rest of your journey.
Hello Auri and your friends! You did a wonderful work! Nikki will have a new start with her home cleaned. I wish her all the best in her life. Depression and anxiety expressed differently in people. I suffered deep depression and OCD I started to clean for 10 to 15 hours a day! I was unemployed which upset me so much! Even when i found a tiny bit of dust, i started to clean the whole apartment again! I was so crazy that i cleaned the kitchen and the bathroom floors with a tooth brush and iron everything and even steamed cleaning towels! I was totally crazy.
My family, friends and professional help got me out of that situation.
Best regards chrissy
I've never had a serious cleaning problem like this but I know how debilitating depression and sickness can be. Thank you for helping this girl, I hope it helps her. Before I found your videos I never heard.of Scrub daddy products, but they are now my favorites! I'm in the US so we don't have Sink products....yet! Thanks for making me love to clean!
Auri is approaching 3 MILLION. Subscribers! Isn't that fantastic.
I am in Australia and have seen SCRUB DADDY popping up in smaller towns in the country!!!
It is spreading around the world!
it surprises me with all these people that they don't get physically ill more, from all the germs, i think you are a fantastic person to do all these, with no judgement on the people, i wish there were more people like you in the world
You seem to be one of the most pure-hearted people I have ever witnessed! It is incredible what you do and I love how you react to criticism. Keep on rocking, Auri!
9:46 thank you for your videos! I know how hard it can be to take care of your home with mental illness. But your videos have helped me immensely! I do one room at a time using your tips and my home is much easier to clean. Plus my attitude towards cleaning has changed just watching how much fun you have! Bless you! You are doing Gods work!
Auri, you clean like 99.99999% of a totally trashed home. It is pathetic how people complain that you don't clean absolutely everything. How dare you not wipe smudges off the wall! It's just ridiculous! You do it all for free, and you leave a few personal things and sometimes garbage for them to get rid of.
You keep doing you and ignore the jealous ignorance. ❤
So true!! Especially since she said she flew to Sweden, maybe she just ran out of time because she had a flight to catch. You are right, it’s so ridiculous to criticize Auri for not doing everything
I’m so sorry for all you’ve had to endure, Nikki 😢 I wish you health and happiness. Another amazing clean Auri!!❤
You are wearing a mask. ❤ Thank you for protecting yourself! We love and need you as our cheerleader, and Nikki does as well. ❤❤❤
Thank you, Sini Cleaning!
Shopping doesn't help that much, but it's something to hold onto when people aren't available for a reason.
Amazing job❤. This fresh start will be just what Nikki needs and I’m sure she is beyond grateful for your help and for caring at a difficult time in her life. Thank you for changing one life at a time!
This video made me cry. You are such a wonderful person. I wish more people like you existed. I don't mean to compare myself to Nikki, because each person suffers their own problems uniquely, but I too have suffered from a long term emotional and psychologically abusive relationship. I'm now a month free from what had been my permanent burden to carry for so long, losing myself to ensure someone elses happiness and feeling hopeful that someday things would have been better. There is nothing worse than feeling stuck and looking at yourself in the mirror and not recognizing yourself, while having so many past memories and wondering when all the happiness went away. Thank you for your words and your actions, they made me realize how proud I have to be of myself for picking myself up again.
Not only are they letting strangers into their home to help, they're letting all of us in to see it as well. Every one of them is afraid of others seeing the mess, but that's exactly what happens here. They're all so brave!
I like this girl Nicki's interior design skills.... shes got style fr😍
Auri, this is definitely the most beautiful home you have cleaned. I hope she can work through her trauma, and finds mental wellness.
She does have a beautiful home! Thank you for gifting her with a fantastic cleaning job! She has almost too much to bear right now. I agree with what others have stated as well. How can anyone complain about you not cleaning the walls and windows! Given all the time you spend cleaning up and hauling out trash, you hardly have time to clean anything! You do great work with the time given!! I clean homes myself. I know how hard you are working! 😁
What a beautiful home that Nikki can now take pride in. I hope it gives her that boost of motivation and when it isn't overwhelming it is easier to just commit to 15 minutes at least of picking up and cleaning per day.
I try to pick one room daily to focus on , dusting, picking up items that happen to end up on the dressers, etc. the rest get a quick going over. It’s never really messy or dirty, things have been neglected lately due to decline in my husbands health ❤
This brought tears to my eyes, she deserves every bit of help she asked for and more, I'm so happy she reached out and it inspires me to reach out for help in my life too
I hope Nikki will hire somebody to clean her house every week
It always starts with 'I'll do that tomorrow' and being alone and cut-off from family and friends. When no one ever comes to your home, you let go of things and then it gets worse and you always have excuses never to let anyone come home.. and then it worse and worse and suddenly you don't know where to start to clean anything. You give up and continue living in the mess as it piles up more and more. This is where you need an angel to come and help you out. Someone who will walk in and just know how to get stuff organised, clean and give you a new life. Check in on your friends and relatives when you are doing well. Especially those you have not heard from or are going reclusive. And when you find yourself going down a spiral, reach out! Reach out to a neighbour, a co-worker, invite friends home to motivate you to get your home together before it gets too bad. It takes a village to teach a child and it takes a village to take care of each other.
Thank you. These videos are like a weekly treat/therapy. Also, please ask SINI to sell their products in the USA.
Thank you too your sponsor, your work are amazing.

Your helps people to be able to be functional as a human being again. Your compassion is very healing and it will heal their entire life. Thank you.
Nikki has immaculate style! I have the best of hopes for her!
Whoever says you don't do this or that has no idea the kind of work time and dedication it takes to do the work you do. I used to work cleaning apartments for an apartment complex for five years. Believe me, some of the apartments were deplorable and I did it all. Some days I wanted to quit go home and cry. I could not understand how people would live in such conditions. You are amazing keep up your lives saving job.
Seu trabalho é uma ajuda humanitária. Você devolve a dignidade às pessoas e a possibilidade de reconstrução psíquica. Trabalho irretocável! Aprendo muito! Gratidão!
Que milagre achei um brasileiro pelos comentários deste canal! Kkkkkkkk
this video makes me feel hope, ive had the same story with my ex, he failed at killing himself and started being more violent after. luckily now ive moved back to my parents and have a better life
Hi Auri, even in the second video you can see how much work you all put in - great!!!🤩 I think it's okay that you don't clean everything, because then the owner has a reason to start over just because the client cleans up a little in the cleaned apartment. It's a new start for the client, and I believe that it will stimulate him mentally and make him/her feel better.🤗
Auri, you can do everything and more, but there will always be the naysayers and haters telling you, "you missed a bit." What you are doing with your time is a beautiful thing, and you make massive impact in people's lives. Auri, you are a wonderful person and do not deserve the hate for missing one or two things. And I'm sure, given the extent of most of these homes your clients will not notice that maybe a window haven't been cleaned, or the walls not touched either.
Keep doing as you do, an amazing job. And thank you for these videos. You're awesome! 💖
Poor girl. I hope she feels better. Amazing job!!
I can almost inagine Nikki's face when she sees her beautiful home, and yet, I know what I picture falls short of her true reaction.
Thank you so much, Aurikatatriina, for helping Nikki. You have given her a restart and made peaceful, and comfortable spaces. Now that her living space is cleaned, which she hardly dated hope for, she can now see hope for her future.
I wish I could hug Nikki too, make her a cup of tea or coffee and just listen to her, no questions, just listen. I have great hope for Nikki. That she asked a kind stranger for help, means she is wise, brave and determined.
I believe Nikki can do anything she wants to do and with patience for herself, and intention, she will be healthier in mind, body and heart.
Wow, what a beautiful apartment! She has nice style in decorating too. She just needs a hamper for her clothes, & to remember to throw away her garbage when she gets up. I wish her the best. Another fabulous job!❤
Auri, I will never get tired of your heart-mending videos. This was a beautiful transformation! Thank you for helping her because Nicky's note was so sad. Please keep going, because you help us keep going!
Sending Nikki a lot of love 🧡🧡🧡🧡 I hope all will be well from now on. I’m so glad she got the gumption and courage to ask for help. This is a major step in the right direction 🙌🏽
In the USA, our mattresses are so thick. Sometimes we lay memory foam toppers on them that looks like what you refer to as the mattress. We use fitted sheets over the mattress and the topper. Interesting to see how other parts of the globe do things. I love the bathrooms that can be rinsed down with the shower sprayer! We have a separated washer and dryer to clean clothes. In USA they are in a small laundry room or closet, not in bathroom. In Sweden your homes are very useful spaces! Fun to see it all transform into beautiful, healing space! ❤
God bless the work you do for people in need

Auri you are such a beautiful woman, inside and out.
I have been in a similar situation, a long time ago. Nicki, if you read this, I am proud of you, you are stronger that you realize 💪🏻 Lots of love and hugs to you ❤❤❤
Now that everything is cleaned up maybe Nikki can hire someone to come in once a week to help her keep up with the more difficult cleaning.
I loved when you said you don’t care if it gets dirty again. You are so kind and understanding of the people you help. One of the hardest things that I have had happen was paying a family member to help me clean, I have a hard time with keeping things clean for a lot of reasons, and having that person say if I come over again and it’s messy again I’m going to kill you. Said in jest, but so hurtful. I never wanted to let them come again. I paid for their help, but they mocked me, such a hurtful experience. So many hurtful family memories revolve around clutter and cleaning, I just love seeing your patience and kindness.
PTSD is real, I hope this girl gets the help she needs and heals xx
Aaaw Auri isn't it just wonderful to be able to spread your good work and love to beyond Finland. So amazing to know that this young woman will come home to a home that signifies Hope and a new start 💕
