I saw a great technique for soaking excessive amounts of dishes on Get It Done With Gabby's RUclips channel. She filled several Rubbermaid totes with soapy water and put the dirty dishes in to soak while she was cleaning the rest of the kitchen.
Funny you mention that. My very first free cleaning, which I actually never put on RUclips because I had so many problems with the filming, that's exactly what I did. I had several totes filled with dishes to soak. Great tip!
Midwest magic cleaning also like to start by cleaning both sides of the sink so he can leave piles of dishes to soak and pretty much just takes intermissions where he’ll come rinse a new load of dishes throughout the entire video!
I'm going to address a few concerns in this pinned comment. Firstly, even though I did in this video, you should NEVER MIX OVEN CLEANER with any other cleaner. I wasn't really thinking anything of it when I did it here because I was just "adding a little extra degreasing power" in my mind and though everything turned out fine (great, actually, as this was the easiest oven cleaning I have ever done), I shouldn't recommend you do it. I haven't found anything specifically regarding mixing oven cleaner and Super Clean, but several articles about just not mixing oven cleaner with anything else. So, I hope that clears that up! Regarding the safety of the children: I promise you, despite the mess you see, they are well taken care of. I spent four days there and witnessed the interaction between mom and kids. She is a very loving and caring mother who is just simply overwhelmed, but obviously loves her children and was very aware of their needs. Please understand that there are other factors here that I won't delve into that add to the stress of parenting, but she handles it all remarkably well given her circumstances. They all just needed a little help to get things back under control. As for the cliffhanger I left about my son and the swallowed bullet...he hasn't "fired" anything out yet. 😂 We took him in for another x-ray on Saturday and it had moved along to the upper GI tract. We will take him in for another x-ray today to see what's happening, make sure it's not getting hung up anywhere. There is a small possibility, if it gets stuck, they will have to do a colonoscopy or surgery to remove it. Praying that doesn't happen, but thankful for doctors and nurses who are able to handle the situation if that does become the situation. He also wants me to make sure everyone knows it was accidental, not on purpose. He is a fidgeter and just have the end of it in his mouth while he was watching something and somehow inhaled wrong or something to where it went into his throat and his gag reflex, rather than making him cough it out, sort of sucked it down instead. Crazy! My sister says he's like Chuck Norris -- he eats bullets for breakfast! Lastly, regarding the 70 hours I am working each week and the concern about that -- that 70 hours (sometimes around 60) INCLUDES the free cleaning I do each week. I'm also including the time I spend editing videos which takes an enormous amount of time, way longer than I ever imagined, but I'm starting to get faster. It also includes my medical transcription job (about 6-8 hours each week), my medical coding job (about 15-25 hours each week), and a couple of paid cleaning jobs that I do each week for some friends. This is all due to losing my medical transcription business (except one doctor) a few months ago because of speech recognition technology. I laid off several employees and had to find something else to do, which is when I started this channel, but also had to take a job doing the coding to make ends meet until I could get this channel to the point where it would sustain itself. So, I know it's temporary, which is a relief because I would burn out really quick if I kept this up. So, THANK YOU EVERYONE for supporting my channel!! It means so much to me! I thrive when I'm helping people and you are making that possible!!❤🧡💛
I dread speech recognition technology! I do transcriptions too, but legal. I doubt that technology is as good as they say. You might get your job back once they realize their mistake. 🤞❤️
I wondered about the wisdom of mixing the oven cleaner and another product. I did find out accidentally that some products can react and cause toxic fumes.
No judgment here. It's easy for parents with very young children to get overwhelmed with housekeeping. The best part is that they recognized that they needed help and contacted you. Even better that the mom was asking lots of questions and pitching in with the cleaning. Having a clean, organized home does wonders for good mental health. I'm so happy that they are taking steps to make positive changes. Thank you for making a difference for this family!!! 🥰
One thing I have learned over the years in keeping a clean house is you keep things put away in cub-bards and closets . Throw away all trash and do laundry every day. Make sure all the drawers and doors are closed and things appear tidy and you feel better about yourself. We all need help sometimes so never feel bad about needing help.
I just want to say how amazing this homeowner is to allow you to come into her house. She took a courageous step & I hope your help was a jumping off point for her to feel more in control of things! Also, You must be a very special, caring person to engender this kind of trust. :-)
Nice job! To the homeowners: It’s so hard to be a parent and ask for help. You should be proud you weren’t afraid to ask for help.You’re not alone in struggling with taking care of a house. Sending you a big hug. 😊🐦
I sat in on the MMC live videos too. Yes, I agree - I'd love to see Auri clean an American hoarder house and see how she tackles it. I am also so envious of the European style of drains in the bathroom floor - so much easier to wash all the grime away! I love the cleaning channels that help people for free - so much kindness!!

@@angelagleason413 That's actually me, Barbie, and Mack (from Midwest Magic Cleaning). In fact, I'm sitting in the airport right now waiting to get on my plane to Indianapolis to meet up with them in Illinois. Auri isn't involved in this collab. I guess Mack reached out to her, but I think she is just too big and too busy.
The fact that she cleaned the blinds is very encouraging. I hate doing them myself because they can be cumbersome and time consuming. She did a great job. Hopefully she'll get that boost she needs to continue the process..
Right?! Cleaning blinds is not my favorite, so I was so proud that she would tackle something like that and she did a great job! Yes, hopefully that dopamine boost will help her to continue with keeping things up.
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp I have found the best way to clean blinds is take them down, toss in the bathtub with cleaner and let them soak, best thing is to have the hand wand in the tub too. My sister and I used to clean houses, cottages and construction cleans. It is satisfying to clean especially for someone else - when you walk out when you are done, you don't see the child spill the juice on the just cleaned floor lol! I swear my kids did this every time I cleaned the house
Bless your heart for helping this family❤. I think people get overwhelmed and instead of taking small steps, they give up because they don’t know where to start. I’m so glad that the mom humbled herself to take the first step in asking for your help, that is huge on her part. You are awesome at what you do and always are compassionate and nonjudgmental…that is priceless!
Exactly! It's hard for people to understand when life stressors add to the mental health challenges and it's just too difficult to keep up with it all, so you kind of give up. It's really sad and I think there are A LOT more people out there than we realize who are in this kind of situation. Thanks for your sweet comment!
Großartig Arbeit ! Ich hoffe die Bezahlung für diese Arbeit ist gut ? Weiter so ! Ich schaue mir gerne ihre Arbeit an, das spornt mich wiederum an meine Hausarbeit zu erledigen. 🙂👍
@@BirgitH4711 Danke schön! Der einzige Lohn, den ich dafür bekomme, ist das Geld von RUclips, was im Moment nicht viel ist, aber jeder neue Abonnent hilft! Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen!
I love how you said it makes you angry... When you get hot, I soooo can I relate!!! I also get hot easily and it's uncomfortable when sweat rolls down your forehead. Etc. And therefore yes, I get angry.😂😊❤
When I was very young, early 1970’s, my siblings and I were watching the old, black and white “Dark Shadows”. Sitting in the dark, watching in one of our rooms. I don’t even remember where I got the bullet, but it was in my mouth. A scary scene took place, I sucked in my breath and down my throat went the bullet. I told my older brother who proceeded to tell me not to eat anything hot, or I’d blow up. A few days later my mother noticed I wasn’t eating, after she asked why, I explained. I was immediately taken to the E.R. where I was taken to get an X-ray. Nothing was found and the Dr said it had probably passed by that time. My father kept better care of his bullets, my brother got a good talking to, I didn’t learn my lesson because less than a year later, I swallowed a thumb tack… never told anyone, I was fine.
The mom did a great job by calling you. Nobody is perfect as mother and father ,somtime in our life we need some help .it is not good to judge ,because we can be in that situation one day when you need mental health.thank you for helping this family !!
Some people learn by being shown how to do something. Hope she keeps going with it and feels the sense of accomplishment to keep her house nice and clean.
If you watch Aurikattarina she’s in Finland and all the bathrooms have extra drains and shower hoses. I would love the hose but in Australia we have extra drains in our bathrooms and separate toilets!
Magic cleaning sponge, great idea. Should be easy to remove all the baked on stuff.Will be ordering as well as your 3 wire set brushes and tub tile scrub brush. Thank you for all your tips. 😉
I love how the kitchen turned out! It is so cute! I'll bet the homeowner is excited to cook in there again. No judgement. Everyone has hard times and it takes a strong person to ask for help. Blessings to you all!
I love when they let me do laundry. It's my favorite thing to do by far, mostly the folding which I didn't do a lot of here because Mom needed to sort out clothes to donate and such, but it's still fun for me. 😜❤️
That looks amazing. It is so overwhelming when things get out of control like that. Looking at it from an objective viewpoint, its easy to make a list and compartmentalize and go okay, 1. Pick up all the clothes and get the laundry started, 2. Start a load of dishes, 3. Pick up all the trash you can find. But when you are living in the middle of it and every surface is covered and nothing has a home, it will make your head spin. Also, some people were just never taught how to clean and its an ongoing process to come into contact with people like you who can offer helpful strategies. This turned out really well and I'll bet they are thrilled.
Oh my goodness! These people definitely need your help! I watch quite a few cleaners and think you are amazing, dealing with the laundry and going through just about everything. I enjoy this type of video where you jump start them back into some sort of order in their lives while respecting their privacy. I had to retire to get caught up myself, lol.
I love Auri's videos. They do live much differntly than we do. Americans live on complete overload. Too much of everything in every single room and yes our bathrooms should be like over there with a drain in them. So nice!!
It’s easy for people to sit at home behind a screen and judge what they know absolutely nothing about. God bless you for helping these people and god bless them for asking for help.
I love the color of her appliances also. You did a great job on the kitchen. Kudos to this Mom for getting into the spirit. Blinds are always a challenge. She did a great job. I know this family appreciates the help you gave them.❤
What an amazing transformation! 🎉 I dealt with uncontrollable depression for several years so I know firsthand just how hard it can be to keep up with everything while struggling with mental illness. So glad you were able to help this family get a fresh start on the cleaning ❤
Bless you for doing this. I had a friend with depression who was not really able to clean his apt. I offered to help, but it needed a deep clean. The next time I visited, he had cleaed it up pretty good with help from his brother. I just remember I cried a little driving home that day feeling sad he had to live like that. I did buy him a new coffee maker so he could enjoy a nice cup. 🙂
Thank you for sharing that. I love hearing these kinds of stories of people helping others. Isn't it just so gratifying and feels so good to help someone else?🥰🙏
And from the bottom of my heart, I want to say, I don't think I even have the "perfect lift Instagram voice" in me...haha!😂 I can probably mimic one for a few seconds, but that definitely doesn't come natural to me. Thanks for appreciating the realness!❤😊
There’s good money to be made in cleaning. I think the trick is being trustworthy and respectful of clients privacy. No client wants their home cleaner gossiping about them. And it is a skill ! Not just anyone can clean a house like this. Btw, the outfit, looks sharp !
The homeowners know up front that I will be sharing their story, but that I will keep them anonymous, so no gossiping here. It's part of my objective to help other people understand what living with mental health struggles or physical challenges can look like and to help those who are living in the same type of situation to not feel alone in their struggle.
About Mom wanting to learn how to clean, I learn a huge amount from shows like yours and Midwest Magic Cleaning. it makes me get up, put it on pause and clean or pick up something and keep watching. There are so many tips and tricks to cleaning and a lot of products I have never heard of or tried before to make it easier so Thank You. Anna In Ohio
Totally awesome, Bonnie! I have a request: would you please show us the clean dishes put away in the cupboard and the silverware in the drawer at the end? Would appreciate it. 🙂
Haha! I wish I could have. I actually didn't put them away as I ran out of time that day, so Mom put them away and I am not even sure where she put them all. I wish I could have gone through and organized all the cupboards because I know they needed that. I may end up going back in the future just to check on things and to help where I can. I will try to show that in future videos though!!
I’m in love with the beautiful colors of the small appliances too. As far as those comments that are less than kind, I wish you would just block them. You’re doing a wonderful service for people.
Bonnie, this is the most satisfying, magical video on all of the internet! You did an incredible job! I love watching your channel and especially listening to your voice, it’s so mellow and soothing and kind 💖
Do you always walk around and start by picking up trash? This is a great method I have used in the past (for myself and others). It's surprising how much there can really be. Love your channel.
Yes, usually I start with trash. Sometimes though I start with the thing taking up the most room, which, in this case, was laundry, as you can see! LOL! I just wanted to get that all gathered and started washing since I knew it would take several loads to make a difference. Then after that, I went after the trash.
I wish you were close to me! What a blessing you are to families who struggle. Keep doing what you are doing. The mental health community appreciates your love and grace!
The fact the mom is helping in the process is a great sign. Mental health n financial stress together r hard enough throw in kids n its a disaster. Good for them for realizing they needed help before this got worse, because comparitively its not that bad yet. Wishing the family a better future proud of u for asking for help n putting ur kids ahead of ur pride
I think it would be good to may be tell people who are not good at cooking etc to rather always take a bigger pan or pot tan they think,as then there will not be messes on the stove or in the oven especially taking baking goods out of the oven. That is how most messes happen. You did a wonderful job on that house it was truly hard work.but looked so awesome afterwards. Hopefully the whole family will now feel better and be motivated ❤ ❤❤
Hi! I'm here from Midwest Magic ✨️👋. This was a very satisfying clean! I love that you do the laundry too - it makes me nervous when a house gets cleaned but all of that dirty laundry is still in there. ☺️
First of all, welcome!! I'm so glad you're here! And, yes, doing laundry is my absolute favorite thing to do. There's just something about a clean, neatly stacked load of clothes that makes me smile. It's like my reward for doing all the other cleaning. LOL!
Imagine how wonderful these families feel after their whole house is cleaned and all their clothes are washed. I sure with she could come and clean my house! God bless your sweet heart for helping these people. ❤
Wow great job to the mother, thoes blindes are werry nice and clean 😊 You are doing a great job, I think mom and dad just need someone to clean along to get started and some great tips how to clean and keeping the house clean and cludder free ❤ Big hugs from Denmark 💝🌹🥰
The place looks awesome. I wish this family every success and happiness in the future. My old granny used to say that if you did not have anything nice to say not to say anything at all.She was a wise and kind old woman.
Thank you so much. Right?! I learned that from Bambi and it still applies. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. You would think that would not be so difficult, but it really is for some.😄
Omg what an X-ray, there must be some story behind that? That’s some amount of laundry. You have given this family a restart which is monumental when you are ‘stuck’ and are so overwhelmed you don’t know where to start. The oven is amazing. Thank you so much for teaching this lady and me and maybe some others different tricks and techniques. The blinds came out great too. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️👏👍💪🙏💐
Never lose faith. Everyone goes through similar things at some point. It gets so overwhelming it feels impossible to conquer. I enjoy these shows. So thank you for letting us in and watch. I have gotten a few needed tips myself
We only see that which any human will show. When I was in good health I often did this as a gift for a new mom. I am a nurse but I cleaned her kitchen caught up her laundry and left a couple ready to warm and eat healthy dishes in her freezer.I hope she can find the strength to do a little each day to be able to care for her home and her family.
I love that you used to do that! What an amazing gift! Our church always takes in meals for like the first week to a new mom, but adding the cleaning on top of that is such a nice touch!
I grew up in the USA with wooden floors in the bathroom, no drain. Now I live in Australia and we are required to build bathrooms with concrete floors and drains. Not everyone has a hose, sprayer, but they are great when working with disabled and elderly. I think Aurikatariina works mostly in modern apartments.
This was fantastic! I really enjoy being able to watch you work and explain things for an extended period of time, more time than TikTok videos. Appreciate your telling us what products you are using and some of the thinking behind how you approach organization and the beginnings of a major cleaning. Thank you- will be looking for more! And God bless your kindness to those in need. 😇
We are custodians for our church and I just want to reiterate that you should never mix cleaners, they can sometimes create a gas that can be poisonous and very harmful-I’m glad you shared that because I noticed it right away😁. You are such an awesome person for helping people out like this-you have such a giving spirit and you’re so patient and empathetic! Thanks for what you do to help these tired and overwhelmed people!
I'm glad that you were able to see that pinned comment so clearly underneath. I really wish RUclips would allow you to go and add text to the video after it's posted because I would love to actually add that during the part that I mix those two cleaners just to make sure people are aware not to do that. It was a dumb mistake. It was harmless this time, but you never know when mixing cleaners can turn deadly.🤪
I am enjoying watching your videos after finding your channel when Mac and Barbie mentioned it! You guys do so much hard work to help those who are in need. I cannot wait for your collaboration next month! I cannot believe you did the laundry as well because that’s really going above and beyond. I hope this gives this family a fresh start and can relieve some of their anxiety and stress.
I love stumbling across channels like yours. You make such a difference to peoples lives. Really hope i get to watch your channel explode so more people can benefit from this ❤
I hope so too! I have so many ways I want to help other people. Cleaning is just one of them, but I would love to give back monetarily as well, or buy the things they need to keep up with things a little easier.
You did a fantastic job, and, I know the struggle this hoke owner is feeling. I am struggling with depression myself and trying to pack to move and some days I just want to stay in bed and hide from the entire world. The struggle is definitely real.
What a beautiful job you did, and homeowner you did a terrific job on those blinds. I hate cleaning my blinds so bad, but you did a wonderful job, my dear
Great job. The products I wanted and need to buy are not available. I will keep trying. Thank the home owner for sharing and it really is a cute kitchen.
Wow, I wouldn't know where to start! I hope they can keep it up when your done. It's so satisfying seeing it done! I just moved so my house needs someone like you because seriously I dont know where to start because theres painting to be done, canning, gardening, chickens, a dog , and lawn, groceries, plus boxes of stuff to be put away. I'm overwhelmed. My husband and I are disabled so it's taken me 2 yrs to get as much done as I have plus keep up w everyday and take care of him about 4 hrs a day.
My cleaning rules are simple; 1. Bag in, bag out. If you buy five bags of groceries, equal number of food containers and boxes must go out. New shirt? One must be tossed or donated. New shoes? One pair must be thrown out or donated. 2. Nothing on the floor but furniture legs. No boxes, bags, or things on the floor. It reduces bugs and make sweeping and mopping easier. 3. Gut and clean each area of house once a year. Drawers, cupboards, closets, corners, shelves. Try to reduce by 25%. This allows open space and room to get new things. 4. All clothes should be hung or put into drawers. If there’s no room, then some clothes must be discarded. 5. Daily trash removal. Weekly refrigerator cleaning, floor mopping. Monthly cleaning all sheets and blankets. Yearly cleaning all windows and shampooing of all carpets.
New here! Excellent video! I love seeing the before and afters of challenging cleaning areas, like the oven. Wow! Hearing you talk about helping out families with multiple children and going through a tough season in life, really makes me want to do the same as you! I like the idea of a large, whole house clean and organize to help the family out and then go on to the next house! 😊 I’m going to look up that scrubby sponge thing you used on the stove! Blessings for what you are doing! ❤❤❤
Welcome!! It really is super fun to be able to help a family like this and I get the added benefit of feeding my obsession for cleaning! And that scrubby sponge thing is called the Magic Cleaning Sponge, listed on my description. I know some people were having a hard time finding it, so that's what it's called. Thank for being here!
I really enjoy your channel and your raw vulnerability. You are such a generous and courageous person for sharing so much of your thoughts and stories. It gives me hope in a world that is so very ugly lately. 🙏 thank you!
First tip. Put the garbage in the garbage can and then take out the garbage when it’s full to the curb or the dumpster just so it’s out of the house. Keep up with the laundry, wash, dry, fold AND put away. Keep up with the dishes . These things give you the best bang for the buck. This is the reason why I have very few small appliances and I don’t have a toaster oven, nope 👎 because I don’t want to clean them. I also don’t have any blinds for the same reason. Curtains are much easier. 😊. I also for the shower I do not have any shower doors for the same reason I just use a curtain and then when it gets icky I throw it away so those are my tips for you because I’ve been there and I don’t want to do that anymore. The small appliances that I do have I use them then I want them down and then I put them away in the cabinet or a pantry because if you leave them out on the counter, they’re going to get splattered on by other things that you’re doing and making
I just came across your channel and just need to say what a beautiful person you are. So empathetic, caring and generous. Not a lot of people stop to think about what others are going through that leads to the situation. They don't understand which is fine but many don't bother to try to understand how quickly things can get overwhelming and even though you want to keep things going your brain goes in a different direction and things just shut down and a lot of the time there's literally nothing you can do about it but wait and keep breathing. Will definitely keep watching and liking. Thank you for being you.
Thank you, Beth! I'm learning something new with every homeowner I work with about how trauma and mental illness affect people differently. It's really sad and I think any one of us is very capable of being in a situation like this given the right circumstances. I wasn't always this understanding, but this whole new venture has taught me a lot of compassion for others. People go through some pretty rough things. It sounds like you have some experience with that.🤔 I'm so glad you're here. Thanks for watching!❤️😊
You are amazing I watch a lot of cleaning video's and you are the only one that does laundry as well as all the cleaning, well done for all the help you give to those families, I'm so glad I've found you on RUclips I hope your channel just keeps on growing 💗 xx

As for the cliffhanger I left about my son and the swallowed bullet...he hasn't "fired" anything out yet. 😂 We took him in for another x-ray on Saturday and it had moved along to the upper GI tract. We will take him in for another x-ray today to see what's happening, make sure it's not getting hung up anywhere.

Praying that doesn't happen, but thankful for doctors and nurses who are able to handle the situation if that does become the situation.

It is satisfying to clean especially for someone else - when you walk out when you are done, you don't see the child spill the juice on the just cleaned floor lol! I swear my kids did this every time I cleaned the house
Adhd alone. You start off with the best of intentions, but the distractions later make it worse. You did great and so did she on those blinds.
Dont let others who comment and criticize ur ways of doing things!!! They aren't in front of the camera giving of ur kindness 😊
Well said ! ❤
You do a great job and have such a great attitude😊
Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I really appreciate your support!😊❤️❤️❤️🙏
Bless your heart for helping this family❤. I think people get overwhelmed and instead of taking small steps, they give up because they don’t know where to start. I’m so glad that the mom humbled herself to take the first step in asking for your help, that is huge on her part. You are awesome at what you do and always are compassionate and nonjudgmental…that is priceless!
Exactly! It's hard for people to understand when life stressors add to the mental health challenges and it's just too difficult to keep up with it all, so you kind of give up. It's really sad and I think there are A LOT more people out there than we realize who are in this kind of situation. Thanks for your sweet comment!
Großartig Arbeit ! Ich hoffe die Bezahlung für diese Arbeit ist gut ? Weiter so ! Ich schaue mir gerne ihre Arbeit an, das spornt mich wiederum an meine Hausarbeit zu erledigen. 🙂👍
@@BirgitH4711 Danke schön! Der einzige Lohn, den ich dafür bekomme, ist das Geld von RUclips, was im Moment nicht viel ist, aber jeder neue Abonnent hilft! Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen!
I love how you said it makes you angry... When you get hot, I soooo can I relate!!! I also get hot easily and it's uncomfortable when sweat rolls down your forehead. Etc. And therefore yes, I get angry.😂😊❤
When I was very young, early 1970’s, my siblings and I were watching the old, black and white “Dark Shadows”. Sitting in the dark, watching in one of our rooms. I don’t even remember where I got the bullet, but it was in my mouth. A scary scene took place, I sucked in my breath and down my throat went the bullet. I told my older brother who proceeded to tell me not to eat anything hot, or I’d blow up. A few days later my mother noticed I wasn’t eating, after she asked why, I explained. I was immediately taken to the E.R. where I was taken to get an X-ray. Nothing was found and the Dr said it had probably passed by that time. My father kept better care of his bullets, my brother got a good talking to, I didn’t learn my lesson because less than a year later, I swallowed a thumb tack… never told anyone, I was fine.
The mom did a great job by calling you. Nobody is perfect as mother and father ,somtime in our life we need some help .it is not good to judge ,because we can be in that situation one day when you need mental health.thank you for helping this family !!
Thanks for your comment! I agree. It could happen to anyone. Mental health struggles are so difficult!
What a great thing to see the home owner In working with you! I’m impressed she wants to be involved and learn because cleaning IS a learned skill!
I totally agree! She was very willing to learn. Thanks for watching!
Some people learn by being shown how to do something. Hope she keeps going with it and feels the sense of accomplishment to keep her house nice and clean.
I’m also jealous of those bathrooms with the sprayers we need them in America
Right?!
If you watch Aurikattarina she’s in Finland and all the bathrooms have extra drains and shower hoses. I would love the hose but in Australia we have extra drains in our bathrooms and separate toilets!
I ALWAYS prefer cleaning sounds over music. Sooooo satisfying 😌
Magic cleaning sponge, great idea. Should be easy to remove all the baked on stuff.Will be ordering as well as your 3 wire set brushes and tub tile scrub brush. Thank you for all your tips. 😉
Awesome! Thank you! And happy cleaning!😜
I love how the kitchen turned out! It is so cute! I'll bet the homeowner is excited to cook in there again. No judgement. Everyone has hard times and it takes a strong person to ask for help. Blessings to you all!
She was excited and grateful to be able to cook in there again. Thanks for watching!
I feel bad for the children that have to endure this home . Hopefully the parents continue to get and accept help and resources
I put a sheet of aluminum foil in the bottom of my oven under that heating element. If something boils over, just put out the foil. Great job!
I have heard that will ruin the oven. We bought some disposable tin trays for that.
@@brg2743 It hasn't so far. 5 years Fingers crossed
You made all the kitchen look brand new. Even the oven(s) sparkle. It must have been a lot of hard scrubbing. Keep up the good work.
I love that you do laundry. Who wants to attach a pile like that. These folks are fortunate to have you teach and help them
I love when they let me do laundry. It's my favorite thing to do by far, mostly the folding which I didn't do a lot of here because Mom needed to sort out clothes to donate and such, but it's still fun for me. 😜❤️
Don't ever feel bad for asking for help people 😊
That looks amazing. It is so overwhelming when things get out of control like that. Looking at it from an objective viewpoint, its easy to make a list and compartmentalize and go okay, 1. Pick up all the clothes and get the laundry started, 2. Start a load of dishes, 3. Pick up all the trash you can find. But when you are living in the middle of it and every surface is covered and nothing has a home, it will make your head spin. Also, some people were just never taught how to clean and its an ongoing process to come into contact with people like you who can offer helpful strategies. This turned out really well and I'll bet they are thrilled.
I couldn't have said it better. Easy to judge if you don't know the background of a person. I love your comment!
Wow. You are making a wonderful difference for this family. Your help will give them a good re-set.
Thanks! I hope you are able to continue on with your channel. There can never be enough helpers in this world.
Thank you so much for your support!! I really appreciate it!❤❤
Thank you for showing God's love to this family by serving them and cleaning their home!!❤
🥰👍
I can only imagine the relief this family must feel after this. You are so kind to do this for them.
Oh my goodness! These people definitely need your help! I watch quite a few cleaners and think you are amazing, dealing with the laundry and going through just about everything. I enjoy this type of video where you jump start them back into some sort of order in their lives while respecting their privacy. I had to retire to get caught up myself, lol.
Thanks so much for your comment. The struggle is real for some people!
Isn’t that the truth @jessiec1194!
I too had to retire to realize that’s what it would take to get caught up!
I love Auri's videos. They do live much differntly than we do. Americans live on complete overload. Too much of everything in every single room and yes our bathrooms should be like over there with a drain in them. So nice!!
Totally agree about living in complete overload. We have excess of everything! More stuff does not equal more happiness. Instead it makes us slaves.
It’s easy for people to sit at home behind a screen and judge what they know absolutely nothing about. God bless you for helping these people and god bless them for asking for help.
Thank you! My thoughts exactly!
I love the color of her appliances also. You did a great job on the kitchen. Kudos to this Mom for getting into the spirit. Blinds are always a challenge. She did a great job. I know this family appreciates the help you gave them.❤
Thank you so much!
What an amazing transformation! 🎉
I dealt with uncontrollable depression for several years so I know firsthand just how hard it can be to keep up with everything while struggling with mental illness. So glad you were able to help this family get a fresh start on the cleaning ❤
Yes, the struggle is real, sadly.
Blinds are a nightmare to clean. Amazing job. X
Thank you!
Bless you for doing this. I had a friend with depression who was not really able to clean his apt. I offered to help, but it needed a deep clean. The next time I visited, he had cleaed it up pretty good with help from his brother. I just remember I cried a little driving home that day feeling sad he had to live like that. I did buy him a new coffee maker so he could enjoy a nice cup. 🙂
Thank you for sharing that. I love hearing these kinds of stories of people helping others. Isn't it just so gratifying and feels so good to help someone else?🥰🙏
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp yes. Merry Christmas to you. 🌲
Ugh, I hear ya with the drains in the bathrooms. I want it myself. It’s gotta be so easy to clean. 😊
Right?!
From the bottom of my heart, I want to say: THANK YOU for not using the “perfect life Instagram voice” for the entire video ❤❤❤
And from the bottom of my heart, I want to say, I don't think I even have the "perfect lift Instagram voice" in me...haha!😂 I can probably mimic one for a few seconds, but that definitely doesn't come natural to me. Thanks for appreciating the realness!❤😊
There’s good money to be made in cleaning. I think the trick is being trustworthy and respectful of clients privacy. No client wants their home cleaner gossiping about them. And it is a skill ! Not just anyone can clean a house like this. Btw, the outfit, looks sharp !
The homeowners know up front that I will be sharing their story, but that I will keep them anonymous, so no gossiping here. It's part of my objective to help other people understand what living with mental health struggles or physical challenges can look like and to help those who are living in the same type of situation to not feel alone in their struggle.
About Mom wanting to learn how to clean, I learn a huge amount from shows like yours and Midwest Magic Cleaning. it makes me get up, put it on pause and clean or pick up something and keep watching. There are so many tips and tricks to cleaning and a lot of products I have never heard of or tried before to make it easier so Thank You. Anna In Ohio
That is awesome!
Totally awesome, Bonnie! I have a request: would you please show us the clean dishes put away in the cupboard and the silverware in the drawer at the end? Would appreciate it. 🙂
Haha! I wish I could have. I actually didn't put them away as I ran out of time that day, so Mom put them away and I am not even sure where she put them all. I wish I could have gone through and organized all the cupboards because I know they needed that. I may end up going back in the future just to check on things and to help where I can. I will try to show that in future videos though!!
You are an angel helping others. I so enjoy your videos.
Thank you, Sandy!
I’m in love with the beautiful colors of the small appliances too. As far as those comments that are less than kind, I wish you would just block them. You’re doing a wonderful service for people.
Thank you so much! I do remove some comments if they are not kind, but I feel like 98% are all very positive!
Bonnie, this is the most satisfying, magical video on all of the internet! You did an incredible job! I love watching your channel and especially listening to your voice, it’s so mellow and soothing and kind 💖
Thank you so much. That's so sweet of you!❤️😊
Do you always walk around and start by picking up trash? This is a great method I have used in the past (for myself and others). It's surprising how much there can really be. Love your channel.
Yes, usually I start with trash. Sometimes though I start with the thing taking up the most room, which, in this case, was laundry, as you can see! LOL! I just wanted to get that all gathered and started washing since I knew it would take several loads to make a difference. Then after that, I went after the trash.
The color of those appliances is my favorite color! It would make me happy to go into the kitchen with those!
I know. LOVE the color!
Wow, you’re a strong woman, that’s a back breaking work!
I wish you were close to me! What a blessing you are to families who struggle. Keep doing what you are doing. The mental health community appreciates your love and grace!
The fact the mom is helping in the process is a great sign. Mental health n financial stress together r hard enough throw in kids n its a disaster. Good for them for realizing they needed help before this got worse, because comparitively its not that bad yet. Wishing the family a better future proud of u for asking for help n putting ur kids ahead of ur pride
Right?! Thanks for being respectful and understanding. 💕
I loved all her appliances too so cute. Anna In Ohio
I think it would be good to may be tell people who are not good at cooking etc to rather always take a bigger pan or pot tan they think,as then there will not be messes on the stove or in the oven especially taking baking goods out of the oven. That is how most messes happen. You did a wonderful job on that house it was truly hard work.but looked so awesome afterwards. Hopefully the whole family will now feel better and be motivated ❤ ❤❤
That's a great tip!
Hi! I'm here from Midwest Magic ✨️👋. This was a very satisfying clean! I love that you do the laundry too - it makes me nervous when a house gets cleaned but all of that dirty laundry is still in there. ☺️
First of all, welcome!! I'm so glad you're here! And, yes, doing laundry is my absolute favorite thing to do. There's just something about a clean, neatly stacked load of clothes that makes me smile. It's like my reward for doing all the other cleaning. LOL!
Imagine how wonderful these families feel after their whole house is cleaned and all their clothes are washed. I sure with she could come and clean my house! God bless your sweet heart for helping these people. ❤
god bless you for helping these familys love watching you
Thank you!
Wow great job to the mother, thoes blindes are werry nice and clean 😊
You are doing a great job, I think mom and dad just need someone to clean along to get started and some great tips how to clean and keeping the house clean and cludder free ❤
Big hugs from Denmark 💝🌹🥰
As an ADD person I know knowledge of how to do something has to be TAUGHT. Never assume!!! It makes all the difference in doing and coping
I love the idea of having a drain in the floor in the shower rooms in Finland, genius idea
Great job! She has some really nice appliances! So good of you to help this family!
I love the original sound. Just like Midwest Magic Cleaning ❤
You’re an angel for helping this family 🙏🏾
The oven melt off was so satisfying! Lovely kitchen. Exellent job!
Thanks so much! 😊
Hello my names Randi😊 I love what you do for people it's amazing! Excited to watch😊❤
I'm so glad you're here!
This is a nice house! The beautiful house owner just needed a little help. We all have moments in life where we get behind.
What an amazing transformation! I am sure the homeowners were more than thankful, relieved, blessed and even motivated.😊
The place looks awesome. I wish this family every success and happiness in the future. My old granny used to say that if you did not have anything nice to say not to say anything at all.She was a wise and kind old woman.
Thank you so much. Right?! I learned that from Bambi and it still applies. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. You would think that would not be so difficult, but it really is for some.😄
What a terrific job… and you do laundry! Sending a Super Thanks.
You're the best!! Thank you so much!!
Omg what an X-ray, there must be some story behind that? That’s some amount of laundry. You have given this family a restart which is monumental when you are ‘stuck’ and are so overwhelmed you don’t know where to start. The oven is amazing. Thank you so much for teaching this lady and me and maybe some others different tricks and techniques. The blinds came out great too. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️👏👍💪🙏💐
Love the extra long video. Amazing job !
Thank you!
Never lose faith. Everyone goes through similar things at some point. It gets so overwhelming it feels impossible to conquer. I enjoy these shows. So thank you for letting us in and watch. I have gotten a few needed
tips myself
That is a huge sorting and cleaning project. My respect. You did a great job. I hope this family go healthy with your help❤
We only see that which any human will show. When I was in good health I often did this as a gift for a new mom. I am a nurse but I cleaned her kitchen caught up her laundry and left a couple ready to warm and eat healthy dishes in her freezer.I hope she can find the strength to do a little each day to be able to care for her home and her family.
I love that you used to do that! What an amazing gift! Our church always takes in meals for like the first week to a new mom, but adding the cleaning on top of that is such a nice touch!
Wow!! What an amazing job !!!!! You are such a blessing to so many families!!! I love how you help others!!!
Thank you!
I hope they can keep it up now that you've given them a great start.
Me too!
I grew up in the USA with wooden floors in the bathroom, no drain. Now I live in Australia and we are required to build bathrooms with concrete floors and drains. Not everyone has a hose, sprayer, but they are great when working with disabled and elderly. I think Aurikatariina works mostly in modern apartments.
I have followed Aurikatariina and Mid West Cleaning for ages. I too, love the spray in the bathroom! Such a brilliant idea.
This was fantastic! I really enjoy being able to watch you work and explain things for an extended period of time, more time than TikTok videos. Appreciate your telling us what products you are using and some of the thinking behind how you approach organization and the beginnings of a major cleaning. Thank you- will be looking for more! And God bless your kindness to those in need. 😇
Thank you very much!
We are custodians for our church and I just want to reiterate that you should never mix cleaners, they can sometimes create a gas that can be poisonous and very harmful-I’m glad you shared that because I noticed it right away😁. You are such an awesome person for helping people out like this-you have such a giving spirit and you’re so patient and empathetic! Thanks for what you do to help these tired and overwhelmed people!
I'm glad that you were able to see that pinned comment so clearly underneath. I really wish RUclips would allow you to go and add text to the video after it's posted because I would love to actually add that during the part that I mix those two cleaners just to make sure people are aware not to do that. It was a dumb mistake. It was harmless this time, but you never know when mixing cleaners can turn deadly.🤪
I am enjoying watching your videos after finding your channel when Mac and Barbie mentioned it! You guys do so much hard work to help those who are in need. I cannot wait for your collaboration next month! I cannot believe you did the laundry as well because that’s really going above and beyond. I hope this gives this family a fresh start and can relieve some of their anxiety and stress.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you're here! Yes, you will find as you watch my videos that the laundry is one of my favorite things to do.❤️❤️😁
I'm with you about the floor drain!!!
I love stumbling across channels like yours. You make such a difference to peoples lives. Really hope i get to watch your channel explode so more people can benefit from this ❤
I hope so too! I have so many ways I want to help other people. Cleaning is just one of them, but I would love to give back monetarily as well, or buy the things they need to keep up with things a little easier.
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp I love that! Looking forward to the collab with mid west magic!
You did a fantastic job, and, I know the struggle this hoke owner is feeling. I am struggling with depression myself and trying to pack to move and some days I just want to stay in bed and hide from the entire world. The struggle is definitely real.
Yes, sadly this is what depression looks like sometimes. I'm sorry you struggle with it. Hopefully this channel makes you feel not so alone!❤
What a beautiful job you did, and homeowner you did a terrific job on those blinds. I hate cleaning my blinds so bad, but you did a wonderful job, my dear
Loooovvveee how this turned out! The oven scraping and counter scrubbing were the best parts :)
Right?! I kept rewatching the oven cleaning as I was editing this. SOOO satisfying!!
Bless you! I don't like doing laundry. I would've been overwhelmed by that alone.
Great job. The products I wanted and need to buy are not available. I will keep trying. Thank the home owner for sharing and it really is a cute kitchen.
I'm sorry those aren't available, but I appreciate you trying to use the links! I will pass along the message! Thank you!
Wow, I wouldn't know where to start! I hope they can keep it up when your done. It's so satisfying seeing it done! I just moved so my house needs someone like you because seriously I dont know where to start because theres painting to be done, canning, gardening, chickens, a dog , and lawn, groceries, plus boxes of stuff to be put away. I'm overwhelmed. My husband and I are disabled so it's taken me 2 yrs to get as much done as I have plus keep up w everyday and take care of him about 4 hrs a day.
That sounds overwhelming! I wish I could come help!
Bless your soul... I've been a house cleaner for 23 yrs and I'd be charging to do that.
Thanks!
Thank you so much, Mary!! I really appreciate it!!💗❤💜
My cleaning rules are simple;
1. Bag in, bag out. If you buy five bags of groceries, equal number of food containers and boxes must go out. New shirt? One must be tossed or donated. New shoes? One pair must be thrown out or donated.
2. Nothing on the floor but furniture legs. No boxes, bags, or things on the floor. It reduces bugs and make sweeping and mopping easier.
3. Gut and clean each area of house once a year. Drawers, cupboards, closets, corners, shelves. Try to reduce by 25%. This allows open space and room to get new things.
4. All clothes should be hung or put into drawers. If there’s no room, then some clothes must be discarded.
5. Daily trash removal. Weekly refrigerator cleaning, floor mopping. Monthly cleaning all sheets and blankets. Yearly cleaning all windows and shampooing of all carpets.
minimalism, adaptive cleaning and routines will help this family big time!!
New here! Excellent video! I love seeing the before and afters of challenging cleaning areas, like the oven. Wow!
Hearing you talk about helping out families with multiple children and going through a tough season in life, really makes me want to do the same as you!
I like the idea of a large, whole house clean and organize to help the family out and then go on to the next house! 😊
I’m going to look up that scrubby sponge thing you used on the stove!
Blessings for what you are doing! ❤❤❤
Welcome!! It really is super fun to be able to help a family like this and I get the added benefit of feeding my obsession for cleaning! And that scrubby sponge thing is called the Magic Cleaning Sponge, listed on my description. I know some people were having a hard time finding it, so that's what it's called. Thank for being here!
I really enjoy your channel and your raw vulnerability. You are such a generous and courageous person for sharing so much of your thoughts and stories. It gives me hope in a world that is so very ugly lately. 🙏 thank you!
First tip. Put the garbage in the garbage can and then take out the garbage when it’s full to the curb or the dumpster just so it’s out of the house.
Keep up with the laundry, wash, dry, fold AND put away.
Keep up with the dishes .
These things give you the best bang for the buck.
This is the reason why I have very few small appliances and I don’t have a toaster oven, nope 👎 because I don’t want to clean them. I also don’t have any blinds for the same reason. Curtains are much easier. 😊. I also for the shower I do not have any shower doors for the same reason I just use a curtain and then when it gets icky I throw it away so those are my tips for you because I’ve been there and I don’t want to do that anymore.
The small appliances that I do have I use them then I want them down and then I put them away in the cabinet or a pantry because if you leave them out on the counter, they’re going to get splattered on by other things that you’re doing and making
You are a good person to take on a project like this. Great job!
Oh thank you❤️
That.Was.Awesome.! 🤗🥰🤗
I just came across your channel and just need to say what a beautiful person you are. So empathetic, caring and generous. Not a lot of people stop to think about what others are going through that leads to the situation. They don't understand which is fine but many don't bother to try to understand how quickly things can get overwhelming and even though you want to keep things going your brain goes in a different direction and things just shut down and a lot of the time there's literally nothing you can do about it but wait and keep breathing. Will definitely keep watching and liking. Thank you for being you.
Thank you, Beth! I'm learning something new with every homeowner I work with about how trauma and mental illness affect people differently. It's really sad and I think any one of us is very capable of being in a situation like this given the right circumstances. I wasn't always this understanding, but this whole new venture has taught me a lot of compassion for others. People go through some pretty rough things. It sounds like you have some experience with that.🤔 I'm so glad you're here. Thanks for watching!❤️😊
This kitchen turned out so adorable! You are such a blessing!
Thank you!! 😊
She has some nice stuff. Cute kitchen
I think so too!
You are amazing I watch a lot of cleaning video's and you are the only one that does laundry as well as all the cleaning, well done for all the help you give to those families, I'm so glad I've found you on RUclips I hope your channel just keeps on growing 💗 xx
Thank you so much!!
I love the cleaning videos like this.
I'm so glad!
Wonderful cleaning! Beautiful kitchen!
