Yes, companies that walk the walk rock! We had a terrible water crisis here, and many companies used it to gouge us. 😢 But Walgreens immediately sent extra bottled water here and gave those of us who were affected a discount at all stores!! ❤So I am a loyal customer! And I will look for Scrub Daddy there!
Yes. I recently bought power paste with the scrub mommy and a pack of scour daddy from watching these videos. I'm impressed and I'm not easily impressed. And the power paste smells awesome, so fresh and clean.
Its taking me a lot to write this post, but I feel compelled to do so... As a single mom of 2 who struggles very badly with depression, anxiety, insomnia, and self-isolation... this particular video really hit me hard. THIS is what my kitchen ends up looking like when I'm deep into my cycle... my apartment itself is piled with laundry, take out bags and clutter. There is floor space, but more like pathways than anything 'open'. It's humiliating, shameful, and I feel so horrible for my kids. When I finally come out of my 'dark spell' (which can last months), i look around me and can't believe what I've let our home turn into. It's so overwhelming and defeating. I'd hide away for months, not letting anyone in or letting anyone know what it was like behind our doors. It's all my fault it got that way... and my poor kids have to suffer with it because I put them through it. It took a massive breakdown and wanting to end it all for me to finally reach out to a family member for help. Thanks to her, I've been getting back on track these days... but its still hard. I'm still very much in my depression and I disassociate often, regularly losing pockets of time. Outside of this, I know I'm a good mom (believe it or not, i am). Any and all energy I DO have in me, goes into my children. My oldest has tourettes and a heart condition, needing regular therapy and appts. My youngest has autism, is nonverbal and we do 20hrs of therapy a week. Hes 3 and very active. Due to all this (+ a 2 year court battle for custody that finally ended) and regular hospital appts, I am (and have been) mentally and physically exhausted. I also haven't been able to work for a couple years... having to live off the system for help. As grateful as I am for the income, I feel terrible about it and feel like I'm a nuisance to society; like im "leeching off the system". I feel like i should be working inorder to feel 'human'. But my kids need me to be as present as possible, and take them to their therapies and treatments, so working is nearly impossible at this point in time. I cant divide myself into any more directions and still keep myself together... I'm REALLY hopeful to return once my youngest begins school... Both my kids have their own rooms and spaces that are safe; I make sure of it. It's the rest of my home that I can't keep up with and let suffer. It's a small, 2 bedroom apartment which the rooms belong to my kids (my choice, they need their own space), while I sleep in the living room on a twin bed. I used to sleep on a couch until I got the bed... im so grateful for it. But the lack of privacy admittedly only fuels my downward spiral... makes me feel very closed in. anywho. The reason I'm vomiting these words out and oversharing so much, is because your videos have been helping me to stay on task with my own cleaning, even though I'm still very numb and unenergiezed mentally. It's hard to explain, but even though it's babysteps, I know I'm getting better. THANK YOU for making these videos; for helping people like me get back on our feet. Even when you're not coming into our actual homes, your messages and videos still help us. Thank you for not being judgemental, for being empathetic, and understanding to us. You are so, SO APPRECIATED. ❤️
Thank you for sharing. Much love and best wishes for a happier new year to you. I hope you know that caring for kids is some of the most important work any of us can do. And that as far as coping in such stressful circumstances it’s all about baby steps. One foot at a time and with as much care for yourself too as you can squeeze in between all those appointments, even if that’s just drinking a cup of tea while it’s hot sometimes. Cos kids also need us to be as healthy as we can be so we can keep caring for them in the long run. I’m sure you know this, just a reminder cos I know how easy it is to forget amidst daily overwhelm.
You are amazing. I could feel the love that you have for your kids and how much you want for them. They, and Auri will help keep you on track and give you strength and motivation. You are not alone. Rooting for you!
You are not a burden to society! You have 2 beautiful kids that you are taking care of, sometimes that's just enough. Start slowly with the cleaning and all, don't worry everything is gonna be ok!
So happy that scrub daddy is sponsoring you. I have become a scrub daddy user because of you Auri, so I am very thrilled that they sponsor you because the work you do is vital to so many people who need your help. Thank you and thank you to scrub daddy for making such excellent products💗
Same! Also, the sponges don't last long, and I like that about them. Other sponges last longer, so I end up using them forever, when in fact they should be changed often.
It’s the details for me, the flowers, the fresh food, the brand new towels and cleaning products. You bring these people life again, Auri! It’s like a dream coming true for them. Thank you scrubdaddy for sponsoring all this good work, you guys have my respect.
@@monica1518 not always, some people just need a fresh start after battling their mental illness. It's not a waste of time if you are helping someone, an act of kindness never is. Kindness makes the world a better place.
@@ElineQ07 I can agree whit you in one thing: an act of kindness is a good thing for the person that DO it. But is all. Here in Italy a woman can have problems whit her life, can have tragedies too, but never live in that dirty, never be so shy, for nothing in the word.
Auri, I just wanted to tell you that not only do *I* enjoy watching your videos and getting inspired to go tackle a problem area in my house, but my CAT also loves watching you. As soon as he hears your voice when I start a video he comes running into the office, jumps up into my arms, and sits there staring at the screen for the entire duration of the video. Sometimes I might have a drink or something that blocks the screen from his angle while I can see over it, and he'll tap at it until I move it so he has a clear view. I don't know what it is that draws him, but he REALLY enjoys you!! I hope this amuses you as much as it does me.
Your positive and cheerful attitude while cleaning is kinda life changing. Never seen anyone have that much enthusiasm while cleaning at that level. Thank you for showing me a different way to clean.
Best way to get rid of fruit flies is to grab a glass bowl with high sides, like a medium sized Pyrex bowl or ramekin, put a dab of dish soap in it, enough to cause bubbles, then fill it with water. Add a 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar to it and leave it on the counter. The flies will be attracted to the vinegar but get trapped in the bubbles and drown. Works quite quickly!
You can also put cellophane wrap/plastic wrap over the container and poke tiny holes in it to get them in and trapped. Or else we have also used mason jars filled half way with apple cider vinegar then made a funnel out of paper, taped it into the jar, and made sure the paper funnel didn’t touch the vinegar. They can’t figure out how to get out and get trapped in there.
I noticed a massive decrease in fruitflies ever since I started seperating my vegetable/fruit-garbage in summer. Winter is fine, but as soon as the sun comes out, you keep the vegetable/fruit-garbage in a large tupperware-kindof-box outside (or inside or in the hallway, next to the door.) I had about 6 flies last summer, that I quickly captured with a Snappy-flycatcher and threw back outside.
Worked so well for us. Even had them in the bathroom but a ramekin with apple cider vinegar, drop of dish soap and cling film with holes worked within hours…probably even less than that actually!
I got rid of them by pouring full strength permethrin liquid meant for outdoor pest control down the sinks and letting it sit for 24 hours. I got it on amazon for about $10 a gallon, it didn't take very much. They were breeding and coming in through the sinks, so doing this seemed to wipe them out quickly because the ones elsewhere in the house would eventually go back to the sink and die. Not recommended to do if you have kids or pets in the house, my kids were being fostered by my mom, no pets, and I wasn't scared of the chemicals pretty much because I was a recovering meth addict, part of my rehab after residential program was to clean my house because it was very bad, like this one. I figured if i could live through smoking meth daily for years I wasn't scared of a little bug poison. Kind of extreme measures but it worked very fast and very well. I will have been clean for 3 years in March 2023.
Yesterday I was sad cause I've watched all of you videos and has nothing to watch, then I've wanted to dye my hair but I couldn"t do it in my bathroom. So I started to clean it! Little by little - thinking what you will do first? I started collecting trash, sort loundry (and doing laundry too), then I collect and put all the chemicals and cosmetics to boxes and drawers in my bathroom, I sticked some hooks f.e. for my blow dryer and hair straightener and started cleaning everything there. It tooks me hours. Now I'm sitting with dye on my hair (my hair looked horrible for at least last half of the year) and while waiting for my hair I saw that you added new video ❤ thank you for all what you doing, I'm struggling with depression, anxiety and ADHD and my home very often looks similar to the ones you show. Thanks for your energy and not judging those who are you helping, you're also helping me, now I can see that I'm not the only one with house looking like this and it's can be clean
I have discovered Scrubdaddy through you Auri, and it really changed my cleaning routines for the best 💕 Like I don’t ever want to use any other sponge anymore and cleaning is a pleasure. Power paste also helped me remove some stubborn stains from my apartment and I managed to remove some really impossible hard water stains from the toilet thanks to your tips 💖 You are magical! Thank you for what you do!
Power paste is great I had a yellow discolouration on my fridge door tried bleach, and all sorts and nothing shifted it but the power paste was like magic 🙂. I also have great faith in old fashioned Vim scouring powder that has shifter many stubborn stains but its getting harder to find now. I sometimes use a mixture of baking soda and citric acid mixed as a substitute and sprinkle ot on dry and then scrub off or I sunetines mix it into a paste and apply and let it work.
same! well almost the same, I recently found her & our cleaning techniques are similar ,( which makes me proud,, lol ) but I have always used the same sponges (same brand & make) & have never even considered buying any other type but found myself buying my first sponge daddy 4 pk of sponges the other day & so far I LOVE them and now planning on buying many many more :)
@@tammylouasksdearsubswtf7955 I found her best tip was putting the plastic wrap over a dirty hob or burnt oven tray and letting it work for hours on end. It reallly cuts down on the product used and stops it from drying out and cuts the scrubbing time down by 90%.
I feel for this lady. I'm a DV survivor, too, and my house looked like this. As I'm writing this, I have tears in my eyes. I still struggle with cleaning, but this gives me inspiration. Thank you for all you do. I may need to see if these products are here in Washington State in the US. 🥰
I know what it's like to live in a home that is very dirty and not suitable for a child. You are a blessing not only for the parents but also for the children. You are changing 4 lives in one go! I'm from the UK and I'm so glad you've helped a fellow single mum. It's a struggle and I bet she is feeling so much lighter already because of this.
I can't express how bad I feel for that child with words. No kid deserves this 😢I am so glad you are helping them. I pray this mom keeps fighting and keeps stuff in control in the future for her child's health.😩💚
Honestly, your channel is the prime example of why influencer marketing WORKS. I've bought a few scrub daddys and mommys, and it's only because I can see how good they are when you are using them (and I love them too now). Would I have ever bought them if not for your videos? Absolutely not. They looked like those "as seen on tv" products that rarely work. I hope Scrub daddy company is reading your comments, because like me, so many are now using their sponges, because of you Auri :) Keep up the good work!
Scrub Daddy first went on "Shark Tank" in 2012 for Investment, so when you say "as seen on TV" its funny, as Google says: On the Shark Tank episode originally airing in October 2012, Lori Greiner made a 20% equity stake deal with Krause for $200,000. How much money did Lori make from Scrub Daddy? Lori Greiner's share in Scrub Daddy is now worth $60 million. How successful was Scrub Daddy on Shark Tank? After the first twelve months of airing on Shark Tank, Scrub Daddy has made over $30 million in sales. The company is on track to grow another 50% to reach $100 million in sales in 2022, Chief Strategy Officer Will Augenbraun said. That growth is in no small part due to the company's in-house social media team pumping out viral content. (Let's hope Auri made a good deal to get some credit.)
Hello from Virginia, USA! I bought all of the scrub daddy products bc of these videos! The power paste is amazing and the steel daddy is a game changer. Thank you for all your hard work! These videos help me mentally
Scrub daddys are amazing. I been using them for a few years now. They work wonders on my cast iron. Never heard of the power paste though, I need to google that!
Perhaps a laundry company will collaborate with Auri one day, so that the clothes get cleaned too. The house owner then comes back to clean everything!
That kitchen transformation was amazing! It looks so pretty now! I loved the little mini curtains! It’s lovely that the home owner ‘Gabriella’ can now get back on track. ❤ Can’t wait to see the rest of the transformation next week.
I bought Power Paste and a Scrub Mommy because of your channel and I love their products now! So happy they sponsor you and that it helps you help more people in need.
You have such an amazing attitude. Your excitement and compassion makes your videos stand out from other cleaning channels. You have helped me clean through some of my deepest depressive episodes without feeling shame. I can’t imagine the burden that you relieve all of these people from, and how it must feel for them to walk into a clean home. You’re incredible!
Ah I'm so pleased to see how you approach a house in the UK. I noticed the flats in Finland are generally very well designed for cleaning, without the many nooks and crannies we tend to include in our designs here. Plus depending on where you are we have so much limescale build up. This was so helpful thank you! Edit: I didn't see yet that you bought a load of food for the family. I'm sure it's similar elsewhere but in the UK many families are dealing with food crises at the moment, our food prices have skyrocketed. I'm sure this meant so much to them, thank you thank you thank you!!
Sometimes I also have problems with order and cleanliness, because of depression and loneliness. Luckily I'm feeling a little better a few days later and I'm cleaning up. I still have the strength to do this. But I can understand people who at some point can no longer make it and give up on themselves.
She needs to do a RUclips video talking about her story of how she first started out and more about her journey & experience she hasn’t already shared.
It was so cool to see you come to the UK, I never knew scrub daddy existed over here so I'm going to try their products now. You are amazing and always make me smile with your commentary, and I feel motivated to go clean after watching you 😊
Awh, with a fresh new start in Gabrielle's life, only sunshine and rainbows to look forward to now. ☀🌈 I hope she is healing well and loving life again. Much love to her and her kiddo. 💗💗💗
Looking forward to seeing the rest next week :) Thankyou Scrub Daddy for sponsoring Auri's wonderful channel and trips like this - and not "just" the trip but going that extra mile to really be kind and stock the fridge, cupboards, pretty flowers etc. I completely agree that it is important for companies to be doing good in the world and it absolutely makes me want to support businesses that I see supporting their communities.
Thank you so much for all you do! My kids know I love watching you clean-I look forward to each week seeing the amazing transformations and hearing the stories behind each home. Thank you for being YOU! You are an inspiration and blessing to us ALL!! Happy New Year!!
From a fellow abuse survivor, wishing this lady all the best of luck. It can be so hard, I am happy to see you gave her help and a fresh start with this beautiful kitchen!
Thankyou for helping those in need..with all the trauma this lady suffered its no wonder she sank like she did, but now this will help her really restart her life and swim again. So many don't understand mental health issues and it's effects on the body, and can be very cruel about these kinds of symptoms, and this judgement then stops people from reaching out to get the help they need..you are so kind and compassionate towards vulnerable people..keep up the good work 👏 x
I've never seen soooooo many fruit flies! I get a few bouts of fruit flies throughout the year and more recently, ants! Takes me a few days to 2 weeks to get rid of them each time. My kitchen gets very warm quickly and I always have my window open and im constantly cleaning. This video was so satisfying to watch from a swarm to nothing!
You are such an absolute JOY! What is so wonderful about you is the lack of scorn, shame and criticism aimed at the home, the conditions nor the person who is responsible for causing them. Rather, the enthusiastic attitude and approaches you use when tackling the most formidable, hoards and deeply set, encrusted messes. You are very successful and extremely encouraging! Thank you!
Since I've seen them sponsoring and what a quality company I've been buying all their products also. I especially love how long the sponges last and they work.
I’m from the US and watching your videos made me go out and buy scrub daddy products! I was blown away seeing all you’re able to clean with such simple products. That was roughly a year ago and I’ve been loyal to their product ever since. It puts a smile on my face they’re sponsoring you but in reality I thought they already were lol
I really needed to come across this channel right now. I've been struggling with depression lately. I take Fluoxetine, but medicine only does so much. My house isn't nearly as bad as this, but it is still extremely messy My room is the worst, can't see the floor really. This video and your kindness that you show on your channel has motivated me to get up and at least start picking up my room. Thank you
Interesting how different housing looks in different countries. I love the drain in the floor in the Scandanavian bathrooms. Maybe that's also true in other European countries. I'd so love that here. Just spray down the whole bathroom. Genius.
Here (US) in trendy homes the trend is to put a free-standing bathtub in the shower. At first, I thought it strange, then realized how easy to clean a tub like that. I have a feeling there are code reasons here in the U.S. that prevent a drain for the whole bathroom. If I ever build my own house, I will see if I can do that.
I ended up feeling paralysed. It's the shame plus the ex who you carry in your head even tho you don't want them in there anymore. Their voice became part of my internal monlogue. Their criticism and with it the emotional memory of their anger. I wonder should there be a term for this 'housework phobia'. I hated how the house became but was exhausted by anxiety and overwhelmed. I have had some group therapy and am working on it. Thank you for your videos. By the way, I don't use flash (I'm in the UK). I love zoflora and astonish (both come in some lovely fragrances, well with astonish you can get orange oil surface spray and a lovely floral upholstery cleaner) and pink stuff. :) but maybe I will give scrub daddy a try. I also use white vinegar.
If you are ever in Japan, I would be happy to volunteer. Disposing of trash is difficult here, and I believe a lot of people need help that live alone. They use a term "hikikomori." They don't like to leave their homes. If they live in a big city, its very easy to do because you can get food delivered from almost anywhere. Some of them are children who never went to school and basically just live off their parents for the rest of their life. I don't know how the rest earn income or if they are on disability, but it looks like a difficult life. Sometimes it gets tough for me to keep up with my chores, but then I watch one of her videos and I work on one room at a time, just like Auri.
You should do a 'ask Auri' video and we could ask you questions about cleaning our home ! :) For example, the previous owners of my house smoked inside a lot and the walls are stained by the smoke. How can I clean?
Weirdly I can help with this... it's VERY likely completely absorbed into the drywall - you won't be able to clean it truly. However, there is something you can do! First, you need to get some TSP (trisodium phosphate) and mix 1/2 cup of TSP with 1 gallon of warm water and gently scrub all the walls. WEAR. GLOVES. and cover the floor. It's required for working with this. Once it's dried, go to a hardware store and go into the paint, there is primer *designed* to deal with this. It will stop the absorbed reek from coming out. We've seen it done for smokers, hoarders... extreme soaked-into-the-drywall foulness. Look/ask for 'solvent-based stain blocking primer' or an 'oil-based primer'. This stuff smells horrific until it dries and takes a long time to dry, but it'll only take one coat typically before you can paint again. Make sure the primer is REALLY, really dry before you start. It'll also give you time to make sure no streaking has come through, but with the cleaning + this primer, you'll be set to paint with normal paint and the smell should be gone! (Beware, it's very likely soaked into the floor as well... carpet I would throw out. Hardwood, I would get sanded and get a new coat of polyurethane.)
I have brick walls that are plastered and then painted, so I'm not sure if this will work for you.. But when I moved into my new home, I bought industrial degreaser, its a red liquid that restaurants use in their kitchens. I sprayed that all over the walls, then sprayed some water over it after 5 minutes to keep it wet, then another 5 minutes, then degreaser a again, then again water. Then dunked a broom in clean hot water and scrubbed from top to bottom. I thought my walls were eggshell cream, after the scrub down they were a cool white!
Wow did that kitchen shine, cant wait to see the rest of the house. Mental abuse can be so bad it's really hard when you're living in it and you don't even know what's happening at times until one day something just changes and you see it. I'm glad she was able to get away from this person that was being mentally abusive. Thank you so much for helping her and her son. God bless you and your family. Happy New Year 🎉💖🤗🤗🗑
So great. What a blessing to this mom! I enjoy your vids a lot they are edifying. I don’t feel uplifted by watching someone clean a spotless house for a RUclips video. These people really need it. What a blessing. Jesus saves.
Aurikatariina I watched this and I thought you are important to those moms and other people that are struggling to keep clean for a decent reason. You make it in such a creative way that these videos so motivating and showing it that cleaning is possible.
I love to see all your hard work. The end results must be longer. That is what we will see. I hope you will clean the rest of the house as well! And that you get paid now. You can not doing this hard work for free. But its good to see you have sponsors. You are a woman with a heart of gold.
This situazion is so dangerous. I don't know what happens in foreign countries but here in Italy you easily loose your children for this. I'm happy that she asked for help and I wish all the best to the people who are struggling this way❤️
Between this channel and a neighbor who knows how to clean anything (awesome for when I have questions) I've been cleaning those neglected places in my home that I'm noticing now that I've seen you clean those areas. It's been helping my mood a lot. Thanks Auri!
I love watching you transform homes and helping those in difficulties. I would just ask if you could use rubber gloves when using oven cleaner. Using bare hands to wipe oven cleaner off surfaces could give an impression to some viewers that its safe to do so, and it's not. Oven cleaners like Mr. Muscle can dissolve skin to the bone, even after soaking in an oven for 24 hours. Also never use harpic toilet cleaner in kettles or where food is being prepared. It leaves a film on surfaces containing traces of the chemical as its clearly stated on the package. This cleaner is designed for toilets and drains only. Boiling water in that kettle releases the chemicals into the water and can cause poisoning, even after rinsing several times. Basically your method has damaged the kettle and its only fit for recycling. If you want to descale a kettle slice a lemon and add them to the kettle together with water. Leave the lid open to bypass the thermostat and boil near an open window for ten minutes to dissolve limescale. You can use that water to descale the sink and taps also. Just pour onto cloths and lay them on the surface for 15 minutes. I'm speaking as one professional cleaner to another. First rule as a professional is to always use the correct product for each job and never use chemicals where they are not intended.
From WA 🇦🇺- we now only buy scrubdaddy and no other sponges come into our household, because of Auri! So proud and happy to keep watching you grow and grow especially as you help so many others! ❤
So when I saw you came to the uk I got really excited! I would’ve loved you to help me . But I’m so glad that this woman had your help and you were able to travel here xxx
I started using scrub daddy and mommy because of you Auri, I have also gotten my mother, my best friend and her family all using scrub daddies, our houses have never been so clean ✨
There are so many RUclipsrs who work with any old sponsor who offers them money, even if they don't actually use the product or if the product is sketchy. It's so nice to see a sponsor who's relevant and actually making a difference - and working with someone so generous like Auri!!
You’re so amazing for what you do! When I saw the place….in the US (where I am) child protective services would be called! That’s not safe for a small child in that situation! The flies and mold! I hope the mother is getting help because it looks like a dangerous environment for someone let alone a small defenseless child.
That’s the horrible thing about North America. Rather than help the mom who is clearly dealing with mental illness, they will further traumatize mom and child with the threat of taking away the child.
Such an amazing transformation! Thank you for your hard work helping this mother and her son. And thank you to scrub daddy UK for sponsoring this trip! That’s all I am buying from now on, I like the scrub daddy products and now I even like the company itself. Happy new year to you and to your family
Before I became disabled I had the energy strength and stamina that Auri does. I could have done this for others. I am sad that I spent that time working for a company that had no intentions of ever recognizing my hard work. I did not know how many people needed help until I was in their same situation. I hope that one day people who are recognized as disabled or diagnosed with mental health issues can receive help maintaining their living spaces. It would be a dream come true to me to have this type of help. This transformation is my favorite. Absolutely beautiful job. I think this mother and son will be so much healthier and happier now.
Thank you again Auri! I came back after the holidays having forgotten a pot on the stove, it had gotten super moldy inside. I watched this video to motivate myself and I just cleaned it!! Now it is clean and shiny, and I don't have to throw it away. And thank you to Scrub Daddy for sponsoring Auri, I now have several scrub mommys and scrub daddys in my home that I use for almost everything. Best wishes for the new year
You bring houses to life again 🙂 You deserve all your success and your followers! Sometimes I don't understand the success of some influencers. But it's not your case. Your job is so real and you are a very useful person to the world. You are an epic win 👍👍👍 thanks
I bought some of the power paste, and it came with a scrub mommy sponge. That is the best stuff. It cleans really well, doesn't scratch, and rinses away easily. Love it. ❤️ After watching your videos, Auri, I was so excited when I finally found some at my regular store! My son says, "Calm down, Mom." lol 😆
Scrub Daddy was right to help you in Europe : I'm French, and I've been watching for their products. Without you, I would have never heard about this brand...
I have discovered scrub daddy here in Australia because of you. You have inspired me to clean and the smiley face helps me. You are a cleaning angel. Keep doing what you do as you make difference to these people and others like me.
I m a single mother as well and i had no support at all and for me was very difficult clean my house: depression, anxiety, lack of sleep, a baby that wanted a lot of attention...Just now i started to have the house clean as he goes to the school now but was very very hard, i still suffer from anxiety and i m scared of having the house dirty as before...you and scrab Daddy Company are doing a very big gift to this mother🥰
What you do is so awesome!! And hey ScrubDaddy, I have found my new favorite cleaning products!!! It’s wonderful that a company actually wants to give back to the community and help people who desperately need it!! Cheers
Your such a beautiful human! Thank you for your kindness! Being a single mom with mental health issues I totally feel for these people and totally understand. Sometimes things just get rough then out of hand then just overwhelming. Thank you!
I started buying Scrub Daddy products because Auri is such a fan! It's so great to see her working with a brand she's so faithful to! My favorite are the Scrub Daddy Sponges (the rectangular ones that are like regular sponges but better(
Hi Auri! I am in the UK, I'd only ever had 1 scrub daddy sponge before and I loved it, it lasted ages! But now I know they sponsor you I will get out and buy more, I've been meaning to anyway and the little smiley faces help inspire me to clean. This is one of the most positive channels on RUclips- thank you for the life changing work you do!!!! I had the same bath seat and same toys for my son as this lady, I glimpsed them at the beginning, and my heart and soul went out to her thinking how much she has been through. Sending love ❤
I have Carpal Tunnel so cleaning gets painful and I lose my grip. Scrub Mommy is THE BEST SPONGE/SCRUBBER. I can stick my fingers in the smile and get a better, more comfortable grip. Thank you Auri and Scrub Daddy!
Thank you scrub daddy for sponsoring her so she can help people who need help....you have my business and I will spread the word.
I agree completely x
Yes I will buy their products from now on ❤.
Me too!!😊
Yes, companies that walk the walk rock! We had a terrible water crisis here, and many companies used it to gouge us. 😢 But Walgreens immediately sent extra bottled water here and gave those of us who were affected a discount at all stores!! ❤So I am a loyal customer! And I will look for Scrub Daddy there!
Yes. I recently bought power paste with the scrub mommy and a pack of scour daddy from watching these videos. I'm impressed and I'm not easily impressed. And the power paste smells awesome, so fresh and clean.
Its taking me a lot to write this post, but I feel compelled to do so...
As a single mom of 2 who struggles very badly with depression, anxiety, insomnia, and self-isolation... this particular video really hit me hard. THIS is what my kitchen ends up looking like when I'm deep into my cycle... my apartment itself is piled with laundry, take out bags and clutter. There is floor space, but more like pathways than anything 'open'. It's humiliating, shameful, and I feel so horrible for my kids. When I finally come out of my 'dark spell' (which can last months), i look around me and can't believe what I've let our home turn into. It's so overwhelming and defeating. I'd hide away for months, not letting anyone in or letting anyone know what it was like behind our doors. It's all my fault it got that way... and my poor kids have to suffer with it because I put them through it. It took a massive breakdown and wanting to end it all for me to finally reach out to a family member for help. Thanks to her, I've been getting back on track these days... but its still hard. I'm still very much in my depression and I disassociate often, regularly losing pockets of time. Outside of this, I know I'm a good mom (believe it or not, i am). Any and all energy I DO have in me, goes into my children. My oldest has tourettes and a heart condition, needing regular therapy and appts. My youngest has autism, is nonverbal and we do 20hrs of therapy a week. Hes 3 and very active. Due to all this (+ a 2 year court battle for custody that finally ended) and regular hospital appts, I am (and have been) mentally and physically exhausted. I also haven't been able to work for a couple years... having to live off the system for help. As grateful as I am for the income, I feel terrible about it and feel like I'm a nuisance to society; like im "leeching off the system". I feel like i should be working inorder to feel 'human'. But my kids need me to be as present as possible, and take them to their therapies and treatments, so working is nearly impossible at this point in time. I cant divide myself into any more directions and still keep myself together... I'm REALLY hopeful to return once my youngest begins school... Both my kids have their own rooms and spaces that are safe; I make sure of it. It's the rest of my home that I can't keep up with and let suffer. It's a small, 2 bedroom apartment which the rooms belong to my kids (my choice, they need their own space), while I sleep in the living room on a twin bed. I used to sleep on a couch until I got the bed... im so grateful for it. But the lack of privacy admittedly only fuels my downward spiral... makes me feel very closed in. anywho. The reason I'm vomiting these words out and oversharing so much, is because your videos have been helping me to stay on task with my own cleaning, even though I'm still very numb and unenergiezed mentally. It's hard to explain, but even though it's babysteps, I know I'm getting better. THANK YOU for making these videos; for helping people like me get back on our feet. Even when you're not coming into our actual homes, your messages and videos still help us. Thank you for not being judgemental, for being empathetic, and understanding to us. You are so, SO APPRECIATED. ❤️
Stay strong!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing. Much love and best wishes for a happier new year to you. I hope you know that caring for kids is some of the most important work any of us can do. And that as far as coping in such stressful circumstances it’s all about baby steps. One foot at a time and with as much care for yourself too as you can squeeze in between all those appointments, even if that’s just drinking a cup of tea while it’s hot sometimes. Cos kids also need us to be as healthy as we can be so we can keep caring for them in the long run. I’m sure you know this, just a reminder cos I know how easy it is to forget amidst daily overwhelm.
You are amazing. I could feel the love that you have for your kids and how much you want for them. They, and Auri will help keep you on track and give you strength and motivation. You are not alone. Rooting for you!
You are not a burden to society! You have 2 beautiful kids that you are taking care of, sometimes that's just enough. Start slowly with the cleaning and all, don't worry everything is gonna be ok!
Thank you everyone for your beautiful messages of encouragement 🥹 I really, truly appreciate all of them. ♡
So happy that scrub daddy is sponsoring you. I have become a scrub daddy user because of you Auri, so I am very thrilled that they sponsor you because the work you do is vital to so many people who need your help. Thank you and thank you to scrub daddy for making such excellent products💗
me too
me three!!!
Same! Also, the sponges don't last long, and I like that about them. Other sponges last longer, so I end up using them forever, when in fact they should be changed often.
Same!!
That poor child. Thank you for helping them.
It’s the details for me, the flowers, the fresh food, the brand new towels and cleaning products. You bring these people life again, Auri! It’s like a dream coming true for them. Thank you scrubdaddy for sponsoring all this good work, you guys have my respect.
Hope you stayed somewhere nice,when you were in England And a super nice clean as ever 👍 XXX
People that be able to do THIS....really do it again and again. Spend your time in something better....
@@monica1518 not always, some people just need a fresh start after battling their mental illness. It's not a waste of time if you are helping someone, an act of kindness never is. Kindness makes the world a better place.
@@ElineQ07 I can agree whit you in one thing: an act of kindness is a good thing for the person that DO it. But is all. Here in Italy a woman can have problems whit her life, can have tragedies too, but never live in that dirty, never be so shy, for nothing in the word.
and she doesnt just buy food, she rebuys the stuff that was in the fridge/cupboard!
There are so many people in need of someone like this lady...to not judge, but just to lend a helping hand.
Auri, I just wanted to tell you that not only do *I* enjoy watching your videos and getting inspired to go tackle a problem area in my house, but my CAT also loves watching you. As soon as he hears your voice when I start a video he comes running into the office, jumps up into my arms, and sits there staring at the screen for the entire duration of the video. Sometimes I might have a drink or something that blocks the screen from his angle while I can see over it, and he'll tap at it until I move it so he has a clear view. I don't know what it is that draws him, but he REALLY enjoys you!! I hope this amuses you as much as it does me.
That is so cute!
The cat has excellent taste!
What a cutie!😍 I hope Auri sees your comment!
Of course a cat loves to watch Auri-Cat-ariina, he likes washing and cleaning himself to with his scribdaddy tongue 👅 😂
those flies gave me anxiety. Auri you are amazing!
Your positive and cheerful attitude while cleaning is kinda life changing. Never seen anyone have that much enthusiasm while cleaning at that level. Thank you for showing me a different way to clean.
Best way to get rid of fruit flies is to grab a glass bowl with high sides, like a medium sized Pyrex bowl or ramekin, put a dab of dish soap in it, enough to cause bubbles, then fill it with water. Add a 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar to it and leave it on the counter. The flies will be attracted to the vinegar but get trapped in the bubbles and drown. Works quite quickly!
You can also put cellophane wrap/plastic wrap over the container and poke tiny holes in it to get them in and trapped. Or else we have also used mason jars filled half way with apple cider vinegar then made a funnel out of paper, taped it into the jar, and made sure the paper funnel didn’t touch the vinegar. They can’t figure out how to get out and get trapped in there.
I noticed a massive decrease in fruitflies ever since I started seperating my vegetable/fruit-garbage in summer.
Winter is fine, but as soon as the sun comes out, you keep the vegetable/fruit-garbage in a large tupperware-kindof-box outside (or inside or in the hallway, next to the door.)
I had about 6 flies last summer, that I quickly captured with a Snappy-flycatcher and threw back outside.
This worked great for me when my kids decided to throw an apple behind the couch. I put plastic wrap over the cup and poked holes in it. Great tip!!
Worked so well for us. Even had them in the bathroom but a ramekin with apple cider vinegar, drop of dish soap and cling film with holes worked within hours…probably even less than that actually!
I got rid of them by pouring full strength permethrin liquid meant for outdoor pest control down the sinks and letting it sit for 24 hours. I got it on amazon for about $10 a gallon, it didn't take very much. They were breeding and coming in through the sinks, so doing this seemed to wipe them out quickly because the ones elsewhere in the house would eventually go back to the sink and die. Not recommended to do if you have kids or pets in the house, my kids were being fostered by my mom, no pets, and I wasn't scared of the chemicals pretty much because I was a recovering meth addict, part of my rehab after residential program was to clean my house because it was very bad, like this one. I figured if i could live through smoking meth daily for years I wasn't scared of a little bug poison. Kind of extreme measures but it worked very fast and very well. I will have been clean for 3 years in March 2023.
Yesterday I was sad cause I've watched all of you videos and has nothing to watch, then I've wanted to dye my hair but I couldn"t do it in my bathroom. So I started to clean it! Little by little - thinking what you will do first? I started collecting trash, sort loundry (and doing laundry too), then I collect and put all the chemicals and cosmetics to boxes and drawers in my bathroom, I sticked some hooks f.e. for my blow dryer and hair straightener and started cleaning everything there. It tooks me hours. Now I'm sitting with dye on my hair (my hair looked horrible for at least last half of the year) and while waiting for my hair I saw that you added new video ❤ thank you for all what you doing, I'm struggling with depression, anxiety and ADHD and my home very often looks similar to the ones you show. Thanks for your energy and not judging those who are you helping, you're also helping me, now I can see that I'm not the only one with house looking like this and it's can be clean
I have discovered Scrubdaddy through you Auri, and it really changed my cleaning routines for the best 💕 Like I don’t ever want to use any other sponge anymore and cleaning is a pleasure. Power paste also helped me remove some stubborn stains from my apartment and I managed to remove some really impossible hard water stains from the toilet thanks to your tips 💖 You are magical! Thank you for what you do!
Same here!!
Me too, it’s the best….
Power paste is great I had a yellow discolouration on my fridge door tried bleach, and all sorts and nothing shifted it but the power paste was like magic 🙂. I also have great faith in old fashioned Vim scouring powder that has shifter many stubborn stains but its getting harder to find now. I sometimes use a mixture of baking soda and citric acid mixed as a substitute and sprinkle ot on dry and then scrub off or I sunetines mix it into a paste and apply and let it work.
same! well almost the same, I recently found her & our cleaning techniques are similar ,( which makes me proud,, lol ) but I have always used the same sponges (same brand & make) & have never even considered buying any other type but found myself buying my first sponge daddy 4 pk of sponges the other day & so far I LOVE them and now planning on buying many many more :)
@@tammylouasksdearsubswtf7955 I found her best tip was putting the plastic wrap over a dirty hob or burnt oven tray and letting it work for hours on end. It reallly cuts down on the product used and stops it from drying out and cuts the scrubbing time down by 90%.
I feel for this lady. I'm a DV survivor, too, and my house looked like this. As I'm writing this, I have tears in my eyes. I still struggle with cleaning, but this gives me inspiration. Thank you for all you do. I may need to see if these products are here in Washington State in the US. 🥰
I know what it's like to live in a home that is very dirty and not suitable for a child. You are a blessing not only for the parents but also for the children. You are changing 4 lives in one go! I'm from the UK and I'm so glad you've helped a fellow single mum. It's a struggle and I bet she is feeling so much lighter already because of this.
You go above and beyond each time. Providing food, new beds, cleaning products, cat litter, and so much more…you’re one of a kind.
Thank you so much scrub daddy for sponsoring Auri!!💗💗
they should be thankful she is advertising them, just look at the comment section
I can't express how bad I feel for that child with words. No kid deserves this 😢I am so glad you are helping them. I pray this mom keeps fighting and keeps stuff in control in the future for her child's health.😩💚
Honestly, your channel is the prime example of why influencer marketing WORKS. I've bought a few scrub daddys and mommys, and it's only because I can see how good they are when you are using them (and I love them too now). Would I have ever bought them if not for your videos? Absolutely not. They looked like those "as seen on tv" products that rarely work. I hope Scrub daddy company is reading your comments, because like me, so many are now using their sponges, because of you Auri :) Keep up the good work!
Scrub Daddy first went on "Shark Tank" in 2012 for Investment, so when you say "as seen on TV" its funny, as Google says: On the Shark Tank episode originally airing in October 2012, Lori Greiner made a 20% equity stake deal with Krause for $200,000.
How much money did Lori make from Scrub Daddy? Lori Greiner's share in Scrub Daddy is now worth $60 million. How successful was Scrub Daddy on Shark Tank? After the first twelve months of airing on Shark Tank, Scrub Daddy has made over $30 million in sales.
The company is on track to grow another 50% to reach $100 million in sales in 2022, Chief Strategy Officer Will Augenbraun said. That growth is in no small part due to the company's in-house social media team pumping out viral content. (Let's hope Auri made a good deal to get some credit.)
Hello from Virginia, USA! I bought all of the scrub daddy products bc of these videos! The power paste is amazing and the steel daddy is a game changer. Thank you for all your hard work! These videos help me mentally
Scrub daddys are amazing. I been using them for a few years now. They work wonders on my cast iron. Never heard of the power paste though, I need to google that!
@@Streghamay Actually found Power Paste at my local CVS!
@@Streghamay Yes, they were on Shark Tank in 2012 to get started.
Perhaps a laundry company will collaborate with Auri one day, so that the clothes get cleaned too. The house owner then comes back to clean everything!
I watch an Auri video every night before bed. Sounds weird but it’s so relaxing and comforting. I’m running out of videos!!
That kitchen transformation was amazing! It looks so pretty now! I loved the little mini curtains!
It’s lovely that the home owner ‘Gabriella’ can now get back on track. ❤
Can’t wait to see the rest of the transformation next week.
G'day, luciemule! I couldn't have said it better myself. What a cute kitchen and lovely transformation!
I bought Power Paste and a Scrub Mommy because of your channel and I love their products now! So happy they sponsor you and that it helps you help more people in need.
You have such an amazing attitude. Your excitement and compassion makes your videos stand out from other cleaning channels. You have helped me clean through some of my deepest depressive episodes without feeling shame. I can’t imagine the burden that you relieve all of these people from, and how it must feel for them to walk into a clean home. You’re incredible!
Ah I'm so pleased to see how you approach a house in the UK. I noticed the flats in Finland are generally very well designed for cleaning, without the many nooks and crannies we tend to include in our designs here. Plus depending on where you are we have so much limescale build up. This was so helpful thank you!
Edit: I didn't see yet that you bought a load of food for the family. I'm sure it's similar elsewhere but in the UK many families are dealing with food crises at the moment, our food prices have skyrocketed. I'm sure this meant so much to them, thank you thank you thank you!!
It was different and cool to watch you clean a UK home, what a beautiful gift you gave to that family ❤
Sometimes I also have problems with order and cleanliness, because of depression and loneliness. Luckily I'm feeling a little better a few days later and I'm cleaning up. I still have the strength to do this. But I can understand people who at some point can no longer make it and give up on themselves.
Brings a tear to my eye watching this Auri. Awesome job. To the mother....be strong. You can do it. Enjoy a new start and look forward in your life.
When I m feeling depressed I always watch your videos because your personality cheers me up
She needs to do a RUclips video talking about her story of how she first started out and more about her journey & experience she hasn’t already shared.
She has shared already in her previous videos
Watch her older videos. She's been generous with her own story. I so appreciate her.
I’ve watched all her videos. Would like an in depth one where she elaborates :)
@@arabianqueen4386 She has a Video with the Titel "cleaning Videos made me accidentally famous" where she is talking about it.
I would love to see her revisit some of the homes she’s already done to give updates
It was so cool to see you come to the UK, I never knew scrub daddy existed over here so I'm going to try their products now. You are amazing and always make me smile with your commentary, and I feel motivated to go clean after watching you 😊
Awh, with a fresh new start in Gabrielle's life, only sunshine and rainbows to look forward to now. ☀🌈 I hope she is healing well and loving life again. Much love to her and her kiddo. 💗💗💗
OMG you are such an amazing person.Absolutely love you.Thank You for helping these people!!
Ah thank you for coming over here to the UK to help one of our families. You are so kind helping people. Your an Angel xx
No Matter what's goin on...when u got Kids u can't afford a mental breakdown.
You hv 2 stay strong and dont be afraid 2 Ask 4 Help.❤😊
Auri ,you deserve the world's best trophy,love you ,here in south 🇿🇦
Looking forward to seeing the rest next week :) Thankyou Scrub Daddy for sponsoring Auri's wonderful channel and trips like this - and not "just" the trip but going that extra mile to really be kind and stock the fridge, cupboards, pretty flowers etc. I completely agree that it is important for companies to be doing good in the world and it absolutely makes me want to support businesses that I see supporting their communities.
Thank you so much for all you do! My kids know I love watching you clean-I look forward to each week seeing the amazing transformations and hearing the stories behind each home.
Thank you for being YOU! You are an inspiration and blessing to us ALL!! Happy New Year!!
Vdd!
From a fellow abuse survivor, wishing this lady all the best of luck. It can be so hard, I am happy to see you gave her help and a fresh start with this beautiful kitchen!
Same. This just showed up on my feed and I recognized the mess as a traumatized person. Xo
You are such a blessing to these people in need!! Thank you Scrub Daddy for sponsoring Auri😊
The flies are so angry! Auri took away all of their fun and now they're off to find a new dirty home to live in 😄
Not mine I hope!
Love from London...lovely you came over here to help❤️
Thankyou for helping those in need..with all the trauma this lady suffered its no wonder she sank like she did, but now this will help her really restart her life and swim again. So many don't understand mental health issues and it's effects on the body, and can be very cruel about these kinds of symptoms, and this judgement then stops people from reaching out to get the help they need..you are so kind and compassionate towards vulnerable people..keep up the good work 👏 x
I love seeing the British products. Welcome to the UK 🇬🇧 ❤❤❤
I've never seen soooooo many fruit flies! I get a few bouts of fruit flies throughout the year and more recently, ants! Takes me a few days to 2 weeks to get rid of them each time. My kitchen gets very warm quickly and I always have my window open and im constantly cleaning. This video was so satisfying to watch from a swarm to nothing!
Yay welcome to the UK 🇬🇧 Great job.Thankyou for helping this lady.🤗🧹🫧🧺🧼🧽
Her kitchen is so pretty now. Thank you for being so generous.
You are such an absolute JOY! What is so wonderful about you is the lack of scorn, shame and criticism aimed at the home, the conditions nor the person who is responsible for causing them. Rather, the enthusiastic attitude and approaches you use when tackling the most formidable, hoards and deeply set, encrusted messes. You are very successful and extremely encouraging! Thank you!
Since I've seen them sponsoring and what a quality company I've been buying all their products also. I especially love how long the sponges last and they work.
The kitchen transformation is amazing
I’m from the US and watching your videos made me go out and buy scrub daddy products! I was blown away seeing all you’re able to clean with such simple products. That was roughly a year ago and I’ve been loyal to their product ever since. It puts a smile on my face they’re sponsoring you but in reality I thought they already were lol
I really needed to come across this channel right now. I've been struggling with depression lately. I take Fluoxetine, but medicine only does so much. My house isn't nearly as bad as this, but it is still extremely messy My room is the worst, can't see the floor really. This video and your kindness that you show on your channel has motivated me to get up and at least start picking up my room. Thank you
Sorry I misread your comment I thought you said it costs so much.
You've got this! I'm so proud of you for getting started! 💓
Me too. Finding these videos has got me inspired. I clean something each day!!!
Just when I thought you couldn’t be more incredible I saw that you brought her fresh food! You’re an angel! ❤👏🏼
Let Scrub daddy know I’m using all their products just because of YOU and their wonderful, generous heart! Keep up the CLEAN work! 😊😊😊
Just what I was hoping would happen! Your sponsors are beginning to help more and more! Next you need to find furniture and mattress sponsors! 💙🙏☺️🙏💙
Great idea.
Yes, mattresses especially!
Interesting how different housing looks in different countries. I love the drain in the floor in the Scandanavian bathrooms. Maybe that's also true in other European countries. I'd so love that here. Just spray down the whole bathroom. Genius.
Me too , we don’t have a floor drain here in South Africa but now I’ll definitely do so in future renovations.
Yes! We have it here in germany too and im thankful for that😌but not every house have it,so its different from house to house,but still very practical
@@katharinar167 really?! I didnt know that in Germany you have this😲
@@Kasiusiunia85 yes,actually we have.But like i said not every house,especially in new houses i didn't see it very often
Here (US) in trendy homes the trend is to put a free-standing bathtub in the shower. At first, I thought it strange, then realized how easy to clean a tub like that. I have a feeling there are code reasons here in the U.S. that prevent a drain for the whole bathroom. If I ever build my own house, I will see if I can do that.
I ended up feeling paralysed. It's the shame plus the ex who you carry in your head even tho you don't want them in there anymore. Their voice became part of my internal monlogue. Their criticism and with it the emotional memory of their anger. I wonder should there be a term for this 'housework phobia'. I hated how the house became but was exhausted by anxiety and overwhelmed. I have had some group therapy and am working on it. Thank you for your videos. By the way, I don't use flash (I'm in the UK). I love zoflora and astonish (both come in some lovely fragrances, well with astonish you can get orange oil surface spray and a lovely floral upholstery cleaner) and pink stuff. :) but maybe I will give scrub daddy a try. I also use white vinegar.
I cleaned my fridge the other day because of Auri ❤ I took EVERYTHING out, all the shelves too! Used dish soap and water 😊
If you are ever in Japan, I would be happy to volunteer. Disposing of trash is difficult here, and I believe a lot of people need help that live alone. They use a term "hikikomori." They don't like to leave their homes. If they live in a big city, its very easy to do because you can get food delivered from almost anywhere. Some of them are children who never went to school and basically just live off their parents for the rest of their life. I don't know how the rest earn income or if they are on disability, but it looks like a difficult life.
Sometimes it gets tough for me to keep up with my chores, but then I watch one of her videos and I work on one room at a time, just like Auri.
Hi, subscriber from England. Was so fun seeing you clean a home from over here! 😊
You should do a 'ask Auri' video and we could ask you questions about cleaning our home ! :) For example, the previous owners of my house smoked inside a lot and the walls are stained by the smoke. How can I clean?
Стены нужно заново покрасить.
Weirdly I can help with this... it's VERY likely completely absorbed into the drywall - you won't be able to clean it truly. However, there is something you can do! First, you need to get some TSP (trisodium phosphate) and mix 1/2 cup of TSP with 1 gallon of warm water and gently scrub all the walls. WEAR. GLOVES. and cover the floor. It's required for working with this.
Once it's dried, go to a hardware store and go into the paint, there is primer *designed* to deal with this. It will stop the absorbed reek from coming out. We've seen it done for smokers, hoarders... extreme soaked-into-the-drywall foulness. Look/ask for 'solvent-based stain blocking primer' or an 'oil-based primer'.
This stuff smells horrific until it dries and takes a long time to dry, but it'll only take one coat typically before you can paint again. Make sure the primer is REALLY, really dry before you start. It'll also give you time to make sure no streaking has come through, but with the cleaning + this primer, you'll be set to paint with normal paint and the smell should be gone!
(Beware, it's very likely soaked into the floor as well... carpet I would throw out. Hardwood, I would get sanded and get a new coat of polyurethane.)
@@hitokage4 wow thank you!!
@@SarinaMotta hi, one good primer product for this is called Kilz
I have brick walls that are plastered and then painted, so I'm not sure if this will work for you.. But when I moved into my new home, I bought industrial degreaser, its a red liquid that restaurants use in their kitchens. I sprayed that all over the walls, then sprayed some water over it after 5 minutes to keep it wet, then another 5 minutes, then degreaser a again, then again water. Then dunked a broom in clean hot water and scrubbed from top to bottom. I thought my walls were eggshell cream, after the scrub down they were a cool white!
Wow did that kitchen shine, cant wait to see the rest of the house. Mental abuse can be so bad it's really hard when you're living in it and you don't even know what's happening at times until one day something just changes and you see it. I'm glad she was able to get away from this person that was being mentally abusive. Thank you so much for helping her and her son.
God bless you and your family. Happy New Year 🎉💖🤗🤗🗑
So great. What a blessing to this mom! I enjoy your vids a lot they are edifying. I don’t feel uplifted by watching someone clean a spotless house for a RUclips video. These people really need it. What a blessing. Jesus saves.
Very interesting to see different kitchens, different layouts and surfaces in other countries. Thanks Auri for helping and .. thank you Scrub Daddy 💙
Aurikatariina I watched this and I thought you are important to those moms and other people that are struggling to keep clean for a decent reason. You make it in such a creative way that these videos so motivating and showing it that cleaning is possible.
I love to see all your hard work. The end results must be longer. That is what we will see. I hope you will clean the rest of the house as well! And that you get paid now. You can not doing this hard work for free. But its good to see you have sponsors. You are a woman with a heart of gold.
This situazion is so dangerous. I don't know what happens in foreign countries but here in Italy you easily loose your children for this. I'm happy that she asked for help and I wish all the best to the people who are struggling this way❤️
Between this channel and a neighbor who knows how to clean anything (awesome for when I have questions) I've been cleaning those neglected places in my home that I'm noticing now that I've seen you clean those areas. It's been helping my mood a lot. Thanks Auri!
I love watching you transform homes and helping those in difficulties. I would just ask if you could use rubber gloves when using oven cleaner. Using bare hands to wipe oven cleaner off surfaces could give an impression to some viewers that its safe to do so, and it's not. Oven cleaners like Mr. Muscle can dissolve skin to the bone, even after soaking in an oven for 24 hours. Also never use harpic toilet cleaner in kettles or where food is being prepared. It leaves a film on surfaces containing traces of the chemical as its clearly stated on the package. This cleaner is designed for toilets and drains only. Boiling water in that kettle releases the chemicals into the water and can cause poisoning, even after rinsing several times. Basically your method has damaged the kettle and its only fit for recycling. If you want to descale a kettle slice a lemon and add them to the kettle together with water. Leave the lid open to bypass the thermostat and boil near an open window for ten minutes to dissolve limescale. You can use that water to descale the sink and taps also. Just pour onto cloths and lay them on the surface for 15 minutes. I'm speaking as one professional cleaner to another. First rule as a professional is to always use the correct product for each job and never use chemicals where they are not intended.
From WA 🇦🇺- we now only buy scrubdaddy and no other sponges come into our household, because of Auri! So proud and happy to keep watching you grow and grow especially as you help so many others! ❤
Are they in Australia?
I love your upbeat attitude! I also love that you don't condemn the people for letting their life get that way.
Her kitchen looks lovely brand new I hope the girl can get the help she needs to move forward from the trauma xxxx
So when I saw you came to the uk I got really excited! I would’ve loved you to help me . But I’m so glad that this woman had your help and you were able to travel here xxx
Flash is a very popular cleaning product in the U.K.! (I’m also British so I was happy you came to the U.K. to help this mum!)
What lovely lady you are and what great work you do. Changing people life. Much love to you.
I am very careful using Blue Harpic on chrome plating (like taps) - if you leave it on too long, it permanently stains the crome.
I started using scrub daddy and mommy because of you Auri, I have also gotten my mother, my best friend and her family all using scrub daddies, our houses have never been so clean ✨
Flash is used a lot over here. I use it for the floors and sometimes use it with a damp microfibre cloth on dusty surfaces.
There are so many RUclipsrs who work with any old sponsor who offers them money, even if they don't actually use the product or if the product is sketchy. It's so nice to see a sponsor who's relevant and actually making a difference - and working with someone so generous like Auri!!
You’re so amazing for what you do! When I saw the place….in the US (where I am) child protective services would be called! That’s not safe for a small child in that situation! The flies and mold! I hope the mother is getting help because it looks like a dangerous environment for someone let alone a small defenseless child.
That’s the horrible thing about North America. Rather than help the mom who is clearly dealing with mental illness, they will further traumatize mom and child with the threat of taking away the child.
A great partnership for a worthy cause. Keep up the great work 🎉
Such an amazing transformation! Thank you for your hard work helping this mother and her son. And thank you to scrub daddy UK for sponsoring this trip! That’s all I am buying from now on, I like the scrub daddy products and now I even like the company itself. Happy new year to you and to your family
Before I became disabled I had the energy strength and stamina that Auri does. I could have done this for others. I am sad that I spent that time working for a company that had no intentions of ever recognizing my hard work. I did not know how many people needed help until I was in their same situation. I hope that one day people who are recognized as disabled or diagnosed with mental health issues can receive help maintaining their living spaces. It would be a dream come true to me to have this type of help. This transformation is my favorite. Absolutely beautiful job.
I think this mother and son will be so much healthier and happier now.
Thank you again Auri!
I came back after the holidays having forgotten a pot on the stove, it had gotten super moldy inside. I watched this video to motivate myself and I just cleaned it!! Now it is clean and shiny, and I don't have to throw it away.
And thank you to Scrub Daddy for sponsoring Auri, I now have several scrub mommys and scrub daddys in my home that I use for almost everything.
Best wishes for the new year
You bring houses to life again 🙂
You deserve all your success and your followers! Sometimes I don't understand the success of some influencers. But it's not your case. Your job is so real and you are a very useful person to the world. You are an epic win 👍👍👍 thanks
I bought some of the power paste, and it came with a scrub mommy sponge. That is the best stuff. It cleans really well, doesn't scratch, and rinses away easily. Love it. ❤️ After watching your videos, Auri, I was so excited when I finally found some at my regular store!
My son says, "Calm down, Mom." lol 😆
Thank you so much for helping this poor woman, depression is horrible she lost her way scrub daddy is amazing Annmarie
That kitchen looks so beautiful after you cleaned it. You and the team from Scrub Mommy are amazing!
I loved this like all the others. She is just beautiful inside and out. Thank you Scub Daddy. From the USA
Scrub Daddy was right to help you in Europe : I'm French, and I've been watching for their products. Without you, I would have never heard about this brand...
I have discovered scrub daddy here in Australia because of you. You have inspired me to clean and the smiley face helps me. You are a cleaning angel. Keep doing what you do as you make difference to these people and others like me.
Awesome video! Also well done to the mum for leaving - you're a brave woman x
I m a single mother as well and i had no support at all and for me was very difficult clean my house: depression, anxiety, lack of sleep, a baby that wanted a lot of attention...Just now i started to have the house clean as he goes to the school now but was very very hard, i still suffer from anxiety and i m scared of having the house dirty as before...you and scrab Daddy Company are doing a very big gift to this mother🥰
What you do is so awesome!! And hey ScrubDaddy, I have found my new favorite cleaning products!!! It’s wonderful that a company actually wants to give back to the community and help people who desperately need it!!
Cheers
Your such a beautiful human! Thank you for your kindness! Being a single mom with mental health issues I totally feel for these people and totally understand. Sometimes things just get rough then out of hand then just overwhelming. Thank you!
I started buying Scrub Daddy products because Auri is such a fan! It's so great to see her working with a brand she's so faithful to! My favorite are the Scrub Daddy Sponges (the rectangular ones that are like regular sponges but better(
I love scrub daddy products and I love finding out that they helped you help this woman in need! What an amazing company!
Would have loved to see Auri tackle a mouldy English bathroom 🤓😂 with carpet!!
Hi Auri! I am in the UK, I'd only ever had 1 scrub daddy sponge before and I loved it, it lasted ages! But now I know they sponsor you I will get out and buy more, I've been meaning to anyway and the little smiley faces help inspire me to clean. This is one of the most positive channels on RUclips- thank you for the life changing work you do!!!!
I had the same bath seat and same toys for my son as this lady, I glimpsed them at the beginning, and my heart and soul went out to her thinking how much she has been through. Sending love ❤
I purchased their products last week and I love them!!!!! ❤️ Auri you are the best! 💖💖💖
I have Carpal Tunnel so cleaning gets painful and I lose my grip. Scrub Mommy is THE BEST SPONGE/SCRUBBER. I can stick my fingers in the smile and get a better, more comfortable grip. Thank you Auri and Scrub Daddy!
I have joint problems, and I do the same thing!! I wonder if they know how good they are for people like us!
