    I think it's important to hear the homeowners' stories. It makes them more relatable and teaches your viewers to be less judgmental of others struggling with cleaning. For me, my husband and I are both disabled, so housework just doesn't get done most of the time, unless we have someone coming over. We don't invite people over, but sometimes my sister will come over for a quick visit, or maintenance might need to come inside. In those cases, we just try to hide the mess and then recuperate for the next day afterward. So, I understand the circumstances in which disabilities will make it hard/impossible to keep a home clean, but when you are physically able people perfectly capable of doing hard work not doing it, it's less understandable to me. So, I love hearing these stories. Even successful people have these struggles. It makes me feel less alone and a little less judgmental of myself, too.
    Also, my toothbrush charger looks exactly the same. Thank you for informing us that it is ok to get them wet so we can clean them. How do they get so gross when we're putting our toothbrushes on them after we've rinsed them off?

    • @EllieofAzeroth
      @EllieofAzeroth Год назад +7

      As the toothbrush dries, the water still dribbles down the toothbrush. It carries toothpaste residue with it because it's pretty hard to wash every little bit of toothpast from between the bristles. It gathers together on the charger and voila, your charger is crusty haha

    I love hearing about the homeowners’ life stories, particularly because of how you relate them with incredible empathy. You re-frame their situation; meaning, you put it in another light - free from judgement, criticism, and shame. For those of us that have been in desperate places in our minds, it’s vital to hear it the way you tell it. Also, I think it makes others (that haven’t gone through these various issues) more understanding. And, if life ends up throwing them for a loop, they will hopefully remember how you looked at these peoples physical surroundings with love, and they won’t be so hard on themselves. Thank you, and please don’t change a thing. It’s perfect as it is.

    I did my undergrad in psychology, and hoarding disorder is one of the most difficult psychological conditions to treat since affected persons really don't believe they have a problem and are unwilling to go to therapy appointments, etc. You are absolutely right that cleaning a hoarder's home without their consent will only cause more problems. You are such a wonderful person.

I've struggled with cleaning due to mental health and some other reasons, and your stories, your talking and explaining how actually easy and not stressful it is helped me a lot. Now I'm ok with regular cleaning, it doesn't bother me, and before I would have a breakdown at a mere thought that I have to do it, I would shake like a leaf on the wind just holding the mop or vacuum or any cleaning things.

      They can get better by sharing. I see it the same as an alcoholic. It may feel embarrassing or a huge let down to others. But the people who love them only want the individual to get better. It isn't about saying, I KNEW u were an addict. It's about knowing how to support and pray for them. Lack of love makes humans draw inside. And cut people off. As in their support systems. Show love always. I have my own pain and problems that my friends and family know of. Hiding only makes it worse. I'm so glad when the people asking Aurikatariina for help, do. They r using a lifeline that could mean their lives. ❤️

    What you said about helping people who hoard is spot on. I helped a close friend to declutter, clean and redecorate her home. *Everything* was sentimental, so it took months. Lecturing her would have been counterproductive, so I could only plant the seeds of ideas and gently explore the thought patterns that led to the hoarding. We had many laughs, and some tears, but overall the experience was positive.

      Sometimes rife and/or isochronic tones can help a lot with stomach issues. If you search in youtube: 'rife isochronic' and add the specific condition ( for instance: rife isochronic gastritis ) you will get all kinds of results. Look at the comments to see how the video works for other people and see if it works for you too.
      There are a ton of conditions you can get better / have a little relief with isocronic or rife tones.

      I started giving myself 10 minutes after having my stomach hurting to check and see if it has gotten better. Sometimes, I will take a shower and call do over ( for the day) and pretend I didn't have a suck moment. Even if you only get to put one item away or clean the top of the toilet, reward yourself by saying something really positive. This helps me when it's a rough day.

    I really appreciate you talking about hoarding and how it can only truly be dealt with when the hoarder wants help. My mother is a hoarder and has been for many years, and it can be so frustrating at times because I know her hoarding is hurting her but she can't fully accept the fact that she needs to get rid of things to get better. I try to be there for her and tell her I can help if she needs help moving things out of the home, but she isn't ready for that and I understand. It makes me so upset when neighbors and family members are rude to her because of her illness, and I wish more people would be as understanding and patient as you. I also really appreciate the way you talk about mess without shaming people in any way. There is so much shame attached to mess which I find ridiculous and hurtful. Your videos inspire me greatly. Thank you for giving me hope that my mom can get better some day.

      @user-qp6lj6gu7s Год назад +10

      I am sorry about your struggles and you are so right, there is unfortunately a lot of shame attached to it when we need more compassion and understanding. I think your mother has the best chance of letting go of her things if she can figure out and process why she feels that she needs them to feel safe in the first place and what they mean to her, after that it is easier to realise what it is costing her. What I'm trying to say is that the absolute majority needs to get better first, then get rid of the things because only getting rid of the things doesn't make them better, they will only find new things to accumulate.

    • @patriciafry8634
      @patriciafry8634 Год назад +2

      While what Auri says is true, my experience with hoarders is that it is still very hard to sit with them and sort things to keep, donate, or dispose. They will cling to everything and eventually get angry. The only way we moved a relative (who had to move because she needed a wheelchair and elevator) was to have her choose the furniture for the new place, promise to put the rest in storage, and have her sit in the new place to receive boxes that family unpacked. This freed up the ability to throw out tons of mice-and grease-stained items in the old place while packing up salvageable items to put in storage, and wash dirty clothes and dishware. Almost impossible situation. And they will go right back to hoarding in the new or just cleaned place. It’s a very hard illness to treat apparently.

    Please keep telling the stories and showing how you clean different things. One of the things I love most about your videos is your empathy and kindness. Without your narration, it's easy to forget that the messes don't happen because of laziness, but because the person needs help. This video was particularly good because it helped people understand the difference between cleaning and tidying. If you don't keep things organised and tidy, it is really hard to clean. I used to be able to afford a cleaner and my ex partner used to laugh at me when I tidied before she visited. I kept telling him her job wasn't to organise our stuff, it was to clean!
    This video also really struck close to home for me. I broke my ankle really badly at the beginning of 2019 and the week that I finally finished physiotherapy for it, I was diagnosed with cancer. I spent almost 2 years unable to clean my own home. Fortunately, I was able to get a cleaner to help and my friends helped a bit too, although it was hard because we were in lockdown. The reason I mention this is that, on average, a cancer patient who doesn't have someone living with them will be unable to change their bed linens for three months because it is too hard and they are too sick and tired from treatment to do laundry. So if you have a friend who is going through a major illness, when you visit, do some cleaning for them. People who are ill are often too embarrassed to ask for help. Offer to make them a cup of coffee or tea and then go into the kitchen and do the dishes, or run or empty the dishwasher or sweep the floor for them. Offer to do a couple of loads of laundry while you visit, or take out their trashes or change the bed linens. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are exhausting and awful. Create a team of friends who will go in and do things for your sick friend so they can recover in a clean and tidy home.

    Your comment about taking care of one wooden spoon is so insightful! For me, an understanding of my own hoarder tendencies was when I was trying to find a sewing needle. I confess, I probably had 200 of them but wasted so much time to find one. I thought about a pioneer woman who only had one needle and she always knew where it was. This helped me realize my problem and the need to take control and organize my life.

    I like to hear the stories and your talking. I was ill for two years and it was hard for my husband and I to keep things up, even though we did. After I was well I got rid of lots of stuff to make it easier. Every day I went around and found 10 things to donate, it was easy and after a few months my house was much easier to clean. Most older people have more stuff than they can manage and you do have to think about mobility, safety and ambulance calls.

Thank you for pointing out that we dont need that much. I have bunch of yarns when i kept but none of them were used in last 5yrs so thinking about it really makes me think to give it to charitable event where crafters gathers so they can use it instead of being stucked in boxes.

    I like your voice over and explanation what happened that the place got in such a mess. It promotes empathy and understanding, these are people with feelings that have been in a difficult situation. Not just lazy. I haven't been there, so I can't relate on that scale of so much trash all over, but there are things in my house that are on a "round to it" list. My house isn't perfect for sure.

    Please keep your current format! Your cleaning is an immediate help to the homeowner and how you present your process and the homeowners' stories helps all of us. I think it brings awareness and hopefully understanding to people who are shocked by the spaces. And I think it brings comfort to people who are going through similar difficulties and helps us feel less alone and ashamed. And I think the way you share the stories is a good example for everyone to see - with consent, non-exploitive, and with respect and empathy.
    Plus, I just enjoy listening to you and learning!
