When cleaning electrical devices (tv, computer, the wall near outlets) spray the cleaner onto your cloth and THEN wipe, rather than spraying the item directly. If you spray directly on the back of tv, you could get shocked, and if spraying directly on the screen, the cleaner can get under the edges and damage the interior of the screen. "Every square inch" is usually an exaggeration, but in this case it's literally true! Awesome work.
Under normal cleaning I completely agree with you. But in a deeply dirty environment like this trust me. Thats the last thing your brain wants to do. You just want to douse everything in cleaner.
People who value their online life over everything else won't bat a n eyelashes getting that screen replaced asap. It might even do them good to wait a day or 2. I would aplod her if she actually puts it out of commission. Nobody's online life should be vip over real life
I was a housekeeper for homes and Hotels ,Motels for over thirty years ,now retired.I enjoyed my job, knowing that people enjoyed having their home cleaned , when they didn't or couldn't do it for themselves.People appreciate coming into a clean motel room ,after driving many miles away from home.It makes you feel good helping people out.
We bought a house a long time ago that the previous owner was a serious smoker and cat owner. Needless to say every surface had to be cleaned, painted and flooring replaced. We were able to buy it at a very low price because of this. There was a front hall closet that gave a blast of the past smell even as we were moving out to a bigger home 5 years later. You are a brave person to take this on. This person is blessed to have you.
I’ve deep cleaned someone’s house on more than 3x within 2 days it was trashed then they asked would I help them again I said NO because they didn’t care enough to maintain what I had done GOD BLESS YOU
@@shawnjackson6242 I've been there before...I was helping a friend to hopefully get her house back in order.but she never maintained it so it just became a big mess again
I love how real you are! Dont ever be embarrassed of sharing your messy lives some are messier then others! I am I was a hording show I had so much loss in my life from rape to losing my 18 yr old son to suicide and my brother being murdered I stopped living! Stopped caring and stoped cleaning I wanted to not be here anymore! Then one day I was sitting on a bench and a old lady came up to me and prayed for me I looked around didn't see anyone! I was going to go into the river to end my pain! God had other plans I felt this peace swoop over me and I felt better decided to go home and try I managed after 6 months to get my life back on track ! I cleaned decluttered moved toxic people out even family and lost over 80 lbs became healthy mentally physically and emotionally 🙏 you are an inspiration to others thank you 💕 keep going others need you! 🙏❤️ God bless you love from Canada ❤️ now work with homeless people and realized this was gods plan 🙏thank you for helping others God will bless you back❤️
I’ll never understand why people take on the responsibility of animals when they’re not able to appropriately care for themselves; cats especially- they’re animals that thrive in clean environments, and when subjected to situations like this, their health suffers tremendously… awesome job cleaning this space, these folks are blessed to have friends like you ❤
I think it's loneliness. Or this idea that if you will be forced to care for an animal, it's gonna be better for you and the animal 😅 it's always a sad sign tho 🥺
Because animals are wonderful companions. They are so lovely. For me It just proves that the person is not bad, but a sensitive person that has some problems in life. Sometimes people hurt so much that pets are the only bearable friend possible
Think it's wonderful your helping them with hoarding. I myself am a hoarder and so is my son. We have working on it for while. We got help comes two to three times a week and just knowing she coming to help motivate me to keep up maintenance around my apartment, so when she does come she can help me with things me and my son still struggle with. We both had to get into therapy to also help with this process. Glad I came across your video today.
And that's the way you help someone with addictions. You work with them, and they need serious psychological counseling. You don't do it for them. As the old saying goes, buy a person a fish, and they eat for the day, teach a person to fish, and they eat for a lifetime.
Gabbi, you went above and beyond with doing the ceiling and walls. You worked your butt off. I hope they appreciate all you've done. I love your channel and all that you do. God bless
For the smell you can get an ozone machine, and turn it on each room for 30 min, after everything is clean. The only thing is that no one can be in the room when it is on, and after it turns off you have to wait for 30 min for the air to clear out, but it helps with the smell and also kills bacteria and fungus on carpets, walls, drapes etc. Great work! And great heart for helping someone with depression, it is really hard and requires lots of love and patience. I hope they can get better soon. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✨✨✨✨🌟🌟🌟🍀🍀🍀🍀
We used ozone in our home and my plants were fine. You can also take any shoes or clothes that need a refresh, put it in your your vehicle and viola! Two birds one stone.
Cute kitty cat alert @3:10 near the ironing board! What a doll. That cat will now be in a clean, spotless place thanks to you, Gabbi. The cig butts were unreal. You really excel in cleaning!
My “cute cat” couldn’t live like that. My house is spotless & I am always decorating it. People that can’t clean a litter box don’t need cute cats. Some are outdoor ones though. The smell must be hideous. My baby is beyond pampered. It’s sad that this cat has to live in squalor until Gabbi cleans it. God bless her!
I did this year's ago, in my early 20s, for the guy I dated before his sister came to visit. It was a 2 bdrm house, in much the same state, and this brings back how tough but rewarding it was. We had my birthday gathering with my family there that year, after. Very satisfying to take something from filth to tidy 💜✌️ blessings on you, for your good heart & very hard work!
Many years ago I was a cleaning lady. I did 2 horrendous apartments. One involved a cat. The people skipped out in the middle of the night. The apartment had been newly renovated, and They totally trashed it. I extracted the carpets, once with carpet cleaner and the second time with pinesol. One day ,the lady in the front apartment brought me coffee and donuts. She said the urine smell had been leaching in to her apartment and making her sick. She was more than happy to smell the pine sol….in the end the landlord had to remove the carpeting because the cat had been using it as cat litter.
Посмотрела Ваши видео уборки и подписалась на Ваш канал. Никогда не видела, чтобы при уборке мыли стены и потолки и чтобы так тщательно везде убирались. Вы покорили меня своим трудолюбием и счастливой улыбкой после проделанной работы. Спасибо за Вашу заботу о том, кто живёт в этом доме и страдает депрессией.
Great job! I know they ---and especially their poor cats ---have to be immensely relieved to have such a clean environment. Cats are fastidious creatures by nature, so unless they have not been spayed/neutered or have an underlying health condition, they usually only make messes when their litter box is dirty, etc. Sadly, that's often the case because when people are too depressed to properly take care of themselves, they usually aren't doing a top job taking care of their little friends. I hope this reset helps EVERYBODY who lives in that apartment live better, happier, and more peaceful lives. You are a blessing for them all.
Yeah, it's a sign of some form of animal neglect when cats are spraying. They should be neutered, full stop. Not neutering is usually a sign of a useless owner, ignorant, cheap, or just filthy by nature themselves. They should have CLEAN litter boxes, full stop, no excuses, don't have animals if you're going to wimp out on their basic care because you feel sad. Take them to the vet to check they don't have urinary infections that cause urination outside their boxes. No excuses. Got zero time for people who wallow in depression and neglect dependent animals or children.
@@littleblackpistol I have to agree. I have depression too. Sometimes the only thing dragging my rear out of bed is to take care of my cats and turtle. I won't allow them to live in filth. And wallowing doesn't make depression go away... it makes it worse.. I'm also a mental health therapist. I tell my folks to put 15 min on a timer and get to work. You will be surprised what you get done in 15. Can't do 15? Do 5 .. it builds momentum. Motivation doesn't magically appear. It builds with action.
I just found your channel the other day. I cannot believe the cigarette butts in the drawer and on the floors. I am surprised they haven't had a fire. One that isn't put out completely and that is it. Videos like these get me motivated to do my house and I have my own medical problems but if my house gets to a certain point I try and give it a good once over. If I can't I ask my sister or friend for help. I hope this person gets the help they need. You are amazing for doing this.
Just stumbled across your channel! You done an amazing job! I’m a professional cleaner but also clean hoarder homes once a month for free. You just never know the whole situation as I too suffer from depression. What a great job! So rewarding!
This is so kind of you and I love the accountability! I really pray this friend gets the proper mental care and resources to help them be the most successful
This has got to be a relative’s house. I can’t imagine putting in that kind of work - repeatedly! - for anyone but a relative. They are very lucky to have you. I hope they can get their act together soon.
For the ceiling I recommend you use a spray and flatheaded mob combo, this will cover more surface area and help you with pressure/connecting to the ceiling without strain.
Pro tip: clean, uniform vacuum lines make an enormous difference in the look of a room. It steps up the look of your skill without taking any extra time.
U are by far the best cleaning lady alive ever seen. I live in California and this is the way of entrepreneurship if one has a camera and knows a little bit how to upload something that person can make money and take care of their families. Gone are the brick and mortar days. They will become a thing of the past just like pay phones. I was telling my grandkids about the pay phone and rotary phones and they looked so awkward and said what’s a pay phone? Then one day I was at a hospital in 2017 and took a picture of it and showed them . They were Astonished! Anyway I digress… thank u for this video it was so satisfying.
I live in a condo with very nosey neighbors . An old couple "writes me up" for everything...I rent. I have developed some psychosis where I'm paranoid to bring my extreme collections to the dumpster in eye shot. I need covert clean out! Heeellp
I am very quiet clean..outwardly look like a yuppy, lol but these neighbors are already hate me , their windows look into my home. They write me up the second my dog is not on leash..rarely, if I feed squirrels a few peanuts , if I have a wreath or plantings they don't care for. I am so afraid they will call my landlord if they see me bring copious amounts of junk out ! I would be homeless although have plenty of money , because there are no rents.
Dollar Tree makes sticks, a flat attachment (also 2 different types broom heads),and different products for the flat attachment. Absolutely brilliant idea and excellent for cleaning walls, ceilings and windows.
OMG! Oh my Gabbi! So glad I stumbled upon your channel today! You are amazing! I’ve done a ton of disgusting cleaning in my lifetime! So I can appreciate just how hard you worked in this video! You are my new hero!
Didn’t realize the top of the table the tv was sitting on was glass until you cleaned it! So glad I discovered your channel!! I LOVE to clean and it’s more fun and satisfying to see this kind of cleaning channel than someone cleaning their own home over and over.
so so many miniature paints. I hope they can find space to enjoy the hobby some more when everything is clean and nice again. Minis (warhammer especially) have been one of the few constants that let me zen through my tough times.
This is wonderful of you… I am a professional organizer and if I don’t see some client responsibility and growth I sadly am unable to continue and I have to walk away. I can’t help them (Yes I’ve done PLENTY at no charge)
Professional organizers are NOT clinically trained therapists, social workers or psychiatrists. Clients need help with more than just cleaning, meaning they need to get to the 'root' of the issue which could stem from anything. Perhaps you shouldn't even consider helping a potential client unless they are already in some level of treatment to understand their behaviors AND their point of origin. And Plse explain how you define 'growth'.
Exactly !! If they don’t confirm they are in therapy I don’t start. Growth - not recluttering a teeny space we dealt with multiple times, doing 5 minute recycling they promised, starting on time etc (All things their therapists decided were growth NOT ME)
Wherever you don't want the cats to pee, spray vinegar. If they can't smell their pee, they won't use it again. Put vinegar in a spray bottle and spray it around the baseboards.
I love how well your vacuum works, can’t see who makes it? Love that you put cleaner in an industrial sprayer, so smart. I clean and have done hoarding projects, one thing I have used for wall and ceilings is a flat mop and just replacing towels. Really enjoying your video’s. Keep up with your compassion to help and clean!
I have found that if you go over ceilings and walls with a dry stiffer first, it makes the actual washing a lot easier. It’s amazing how much dust can accumulate there.
I’m so glad you could help this person, (and I hope you were duly compensated.) For those without mental/emotional or addiction issues, it’s sometimes difficult to understand, accept, and adjust for the shit that happens as a result. No one will be cured by criticism. But you take it on without judgement. Bravo! Thank you!!! 😊
@@lauramitchell6725 Excuse me, you have the right to your opinion. That said, 'pity' has no place in this scenario at ALL. And to add insult to injury you go on to add that her being paid is somehow farfetched? For THIS volume of work? Unreal!
@@robyndismon394 I am truly surprised by your comment to me. 😟First of all, if I was so depressed that my home was full of bugs,cat pee and poop,I sure hope that someone would have pity on me and help me with a huge,wonderful reset! Second of all,the reason that I said “not a paying job” was because she said she was hopeful because they had a job interview so I assumed presently unemployed. She also said they had no car to get to the laundromat so she washed a ton of clothes and then she and her husband bought them a washer and dryer and about $100.00 worth of parts to hook it up. I certainly could be wrong but doubt that they had the hundreds of dollars that such a cleaning job would cost.
@@lauramitchell6725 Hello Laura, let me begin by saying that I was only responding to how your comment sounded as I read it. We can't always know what everyone is thinking or feeling internally. It simply sounded as though you didn't think the job was worth paying for. Now I understand that's not what you intended at all. So forgive me I didn't have the correct understanding.. We can both agree that Gabbie is doing an amazing job as all of her viewers can see as well.😅
Oh yes, i used to clean after tenant move out, and the smoker's places were the worst. I'm talking about rivulets of brown liquid running down the walls while cleaning them. TSP for the win! Cleaned everything back to white paint and removed the smell as well. Although, I only had hardwood floors to worry about ... I can't imagine the carpets could ever be fully cleaned of smoke and cat pee, I would think they'd have to be ripped out and replaced.
Kilz paint is probably the only thing to get rid of the left over cat spray. It will also get rid of the smell. We had to use it on all of our floors for similar reasons.
I'm a smoker and I would no sooner smoke in the house or leave a butt anywhere other than an ashtray than fly to the moon. You've done an amazing job, I do hope they appreciate it & keep up cleaning, but alas I doubt it.
Ive done this for 30+years.I understand your need to help them but please know,without them getting psychological support, it will not change completely .The best of luck in sharing your talent,stay safe!!!
A spin mop is the best thing I've found to clean walls. On another note, as some who used to be part of a cat rescue organization, the best thing to get rid of the cat odors & stains is Nature's miracle enzymatic stain & odor remover. In a pinch or on a budget cleaning vinegar and baking soda can be really effective. Cleaning vinegar is also really good at getting rid of nicotine odor and stains because it breaks down the tar and deodorizes at the same time.
I would help this but it would not be done again for them the hoarding doesn't look that severe but just the pure nastiness. They need to get help so they can help themselves especially with you giving them a clean start. May God continue to bless you. Some baskets to help put things in their proper place may help. I can't say it enough, you are a selfless, kind, amazing, awesome wonderful person to do this. Looks like someone is into gaming as well 🤔
Hey, I just finished watching first 2 videos. What a great thing you are doing. If you use non biological washing powder and bicarbonate soda with water to wash cat areas it removes smell which discourages them to go back to area. It’s really effective, hope that helps ⭐️
And some wil not go in a dirty litterbox. 1 cat, 2 litterboxes. 2 cats, 3 litterboxes. Also some cats develop arthritis or something and cannotvuse a box with high sides. Thet have a high sense of smell. Probably the cats really appreciate it too.
@@bettypecoraro8104 I’ve had a look on internet and non biological detergent in the states is a detergent that contains no enzymes or proteins ie. Eco max or sun free & clear
One problem with going through the trouble to try and get those cat peed on baseboards perfect is that the cat still lives there, if you catch my drift. Kitty's just gonna keep marking those spots unless something is done to help with the behavior...ask me how I know this. (We actually rehomed a cat for this exact reason. It was heartbreaking, but my grandma's house had turned into a giant cat box and she couldn't take it anymore. It worked out so perfectly in the end though, as sad as we were. She ended up being a barn cat! She had all the space to roam around, pee wherever she wanted and she still got the loves and pets of the people there. I still really miss her though.
Just a little tip to rid house of smoke plain ol’ cheap ammonia! We purchased a our first home knowing we’d clean and paint and we still had smoke smell! So I ran across a tip which was to put ammonia in a cup and container and sit it in the middle of the room! I kept forgetting they were there and knocking them over so I used a cup and put it in all the window sills and after changing ammonia a few times ….smoke smell gone! I used it in a car that we purchased way back when newly married an it was cheaper because of the cigarette smoke smell! I smiled inside till the deal was done and I scrubbed everything and would leave a mug of ammonia in it each night and allow it to draw out smoke smell! People even commented later …love your new to you car…it even smells new!
🙌🙌🙌🙌 The walls! We all gasped here at home. One because you are wonderful to be doing the hard work of cleaning ceilings but also the thought of this person breathing that in all the time. I hope the clean was a chance or an honest fresh start for them. Well done You! Oh and that desk clean 😮❤
That's a lot of work. You did a great job. You may want to try using a squeegee with a cloth to clean the ceilings and walls. Saves your back and neck. Also, squeegee cleans a wider area.
Probably not very charitable, but maybe if they cut their smoking in half they would be able to afford a routine cleaning service. Having a consistently clean house would do a lot to help the depression. Depression can make everything overwhelming but maybe walking into a house with less chaos would be one less stressor.
Looks amazing!!! 🤯👏🏻 The room needs a hamper so that even though he doesn’t have a washer/dryer at least the dirty clothes can (hopefully) be contained ☺️
Thank you for all you do to help others. Do you use their vacuum cleaner or your own? If you use your own, how do you keep the vacuum from smelling like smoke, cat urine, etc.? Thank you again for sharing.
It's a wonder that this house hasn't gone up in flames, by the look of all the cigarettes found on /in every surface in the bedroom. Thank you for taking on this task. Again!
I fight depression myself and it seems to get worse as I get older. I get it but, if you can play games and light up a cig, you can pick up after yourself. You are a hard worker and they are lucky to have you. Thank you for helping out the sick. You’ve earned my subscription 10x over 🌺🌺🌺
Magic Eraser is a must. Flat mop with removable microfiber. Many different brands. I like Bona brand. Make washing ceilings and walls much faster. Use the TSP in water.
Great Job! I mentioned in the comments on the last video but I will mention it again here. You can place litter boxes inside of large cardboard boxes with a U shape cut out of them this way there will be so much less kick over of litter and you are not staring at poop and gives the cats privacy also. I get a new outer cardboard box every once in a while. Must scoop daily or every other day. The question is like how often you would flush after pooping???
Guuuuurl. From one clean freak to the next.... use one of those swiffer sweeper things with the long handle, put your cleaning rag on that and use it on the ceilings and walls. Your spine will thank you? Mr clean erasers can do wonders and Stoners invisible glass is fantastic on all glass surfaces. You did a great job here though. Hope this tenant has a brighter future. Alright, nevermind guess I should watch the while video first before I suggested the wall and ceiling thing. Lol
It's a choice, I have a girlfriend who grew up in filth she said the only time anything got done was when she did it, once she grew up married you could go to her house and eat off the floors, I raised my children is a clean house they got clean sheets on their beds once a week good home cooked meals clean cloths and one mistake on my part was doing every thing they never did things the way I wanted it so I'd go over what they did do my daughter grew up married and the only time her house got clean was when I would go there I did that for years I finally stopped and I told her she never appreciated my helping go ahead and live the way you want to.
If you use a swiffer sweeper with a microfiber cloth instead of the wipes that come with it you can clean the walls and ceilings much easier though I see you used a mop later on so nm
Cats pee and poop on floor because litter boxes aren’t being cleaned enough. I hate to say this, but some people won’t change. You are an awesome person for trying to help. At this point I’d worry they are taking advantage of free house cleaning.
WOW! What a change. Can't believe the color change of the ceiling and walls. You really do a thorough cleaning and I wonder what products you use. Clorox is always a good one that you mentioned. That was some really hard work and bless you for all the effort and muscle strain. Thanks for sharing and this is the first I have seen of your videos. I will look for more. Be safe.
You Did such a Great Job . I used to clean for the wealthy Home owners nothing Dirty like that . Wow Until I visited a Cousins home was almost that bad 😬 She is also has Depression and Hard working Nurse . She smokes outside now she quit . I helped her one weekend it was a lot of work . 👍

I’m addicted to the Pine Sol scent. 😃
Посмотрела Ваши видео уборки и подписалась на Ваш канал. Никогда не видела, чтобы при уборке мыли стены и потолки и чтобы так тщательно везде убирались. Вы покорили меня своим трудолюбием и счастливой улыбкой после проделанной работы. Спасибо за Вашу заботу о том, кто живёт в этом доме и страдает депрессией.
стены и потолки обычно моют там, где курят в помещении, иначе запах остается и цвет краски "грязно-серый" от табака
Great job! I know they ---and especially their poor cats ---have to be immensely relieved to have such a clean environment. Cats are fastidious creatures by nature, so unless they have not been spayed/neutered or have an underlying health condition, they usually only make messes when their litter box is dirty, etc. Sadly, that's often the case because when people are too depressed to properly take care of themselves, they usually aren't doing a top job taking care of their little friends. I hope this reset helps EVERYBODY who lives in that apartment live better, happier, and more peaceful lives. You are a blessing for them all.
Yeah, it's a sign of some form of animal neglect when cats are spraying. They should be neutered, full stop. Not neutering is usually a sign of a useless owner, ignorant, cheap, or just filthy by nature themselves. They should have CLEAN litter boxes, full stop, no excuses, don't have animals if you're going to wimp out on their basic care because you feel sad. Take them to the vet to check they don't have urinary infections that cause urination outside their boxes. No excuses. Got zero time for people who wallow in depression and neglect dependent animals or children.
@@littleblackpistol I have to agree. I have depression too. Sometimes the only thing dragging my rear out of bed is to take care of my cats and turtle. I won't allow them to live in filth. And wallowing doesn't make depression go away... it makes it worse.. I'm also a mental health therapist. I tell my folks to put 15 min on a timer and get to work. You will be surprised what you get done in 15. Can't do 15? Do 5 .. it builds momentum. Motivation doesn't magically appear. It builds with action.
@@littleblackpistol The kittens need a new home for sure.
I just found your channel the other day. I cannot believe the cigarette butts in the drawer and on the floors. I am surprised they haven't had a fire. One that isn't put out completely and that is it. Videos like these get me motivated to do my house and I have my own medical problems but if my house gets to a certain point I try and give it a good once over. If I can't I ask my sister or friend for help. I hope this person gets the help they need. You are amazing for doing this.
Just stumbled across your channel! You done an amazing job! I’m a professional cleaner but also clean hoarder homes once a month for free. You just never know the whole situation as I too suffer from depression. What a great job! So rewarding!
It is a miracle the apartment didn’t burn down!!
I think so too....
This is so kind of you and I love the accountability!
I really pray this friend gets the proper mental care and resources to help them be the most successful
they're american so that probably won't happen since we don't have a proper mental healthcare system
@@ibuprofriends Sad, The most powerful country in the world with such messy health system.
This has got to be a relative’s house. I can’t imagine putting in that kind of work - repeatedly! - for anyone but a relative. They are very lucky to have you. I hope they can get their act together soon.
For the ceiling I recommend you use a spray and flatheaded mob combo, this will cover more surface area and help you with pressure/connecting to the ceiling without strain.
Pro tip: clean, uniform vacuum lines make an enormous difference in the look of a room.
It steps up the look of your skill without taking any extra time.
Great tip but I think she is more worried about just getting it vacuumed.
Gabbi, I have never seen someone work as hard as you do. I don’t know how you keep up the pace. You are a God send to this couple.
U are by far the best cleaning lady alive ever seen. I live in California and this is the way of entrepreneurship if one has a camera and knows a little bit how to upload something that person can make money and take care of their families. Gone are the brick and mortar days. They will become a thing of the past just like pay phones. I was telling my grandkids about the pay phone and rotary phones and they looked so awkward and said what’s a pay phone? Then one day I was at a hospital in 2017 and took a picture of it and showed them . They were Astonished! Anyway I digress… thank u for this video it was so satisfying.
she is amazing, but do you know for Aurikatarina? That girl is something special. She is a literal angel on Earth.
I live in a condo with very nosey neighbors .
An old couple "writes me up" for everything...I rent.
I have developed some psychosis where I'm paranoid to bring my extreme collections to the dumpster in eye shot.
I need covert clean out! Heeellp
I am very quiet clean..outwardly look like a yuppy, lol but these neighbors are already hate me , their windows look into my home.
They write me up the second my dog is not on leash..rarely, if I feed squirrels a few peanuts , if I have a wreath or plantings they don't care for.
I am so afraid they will call my landlord if they see me bring copious amounts of junk out !
I would be homeless although have plenty of money , because there are no rents.
Dollar Tree makes sticks, a flat attachment (also 2 different types broom heads),and different products for the flat attachment. Absolutely brilliant idea and excellent for cleaning walls, ceilings and windows.
OMG!
Oh my Gabbi!
So glad I stumbled upon your channel today!
You are amazing!
I’ve done a ton of disgusting cleaning in my lifetime! So I can appreciate just how hard you worked in this video!
You are my new hero!
I’ve never seen walls that are so dirty😳 You did such a good job! Even my back started hurting while watching you clean the ceiling 🙈
Didn’t realize the top of the table the tv was sitting on was glass until you cleaned it! So glad I discovered your channel!! I LOVE to clean and it’s more fun and satisfying to see this kind of cleaning channel than someone cleaning their own home over and over.
Midwest Magic Cleaning brought me here 😊
so so many miniature paints. I hope they can find space to enjoy the hobby some more when everything is clean and nice again. Minis (warhammer especially) have been one of the few constants that let me zen through my tough times.
This is wonderful of you… I am a professional organizer and if I don’t see some client responsibility and growth I sadly am unable to continue and I have to walk away. I can’t help them (Yes I’ve done PLENTY at no charge)
Professional organizers are NOT clinically trained therapists, social workers or psychiatrists. Clients need help with more than just cleaning, meaning they need to get to the 'root' of the issue which could stem from anything.
Perhaps you shouldn't even consider helping a potential client unless they are already in some level of treatment to understand their behaviors AND their point of origin.
And Plse explain how you define 'growth'.
Exactly !! If they don’t confirm they are in therapy I don’t start.
Growth - not recluttering a teeny space we dealt with multiple times, doing 5 minute recycling they promised, starting on time etc
(All things their therapists decided were growth NOT ME)
Man you have gone far and beyond! Wow !
Wherever you don't want the cats to pee, spray vinegar. If they can't smell their pee, they won't use it again. Put vinegar in a spray bottle and spray it around the baseboards.
I love how well your vacuum works, can’t see who makes it? Love that you put cleaner in an industrial sprayer, so smart. I clean and have done hoarding projects, one thing I have used for wall and ceilings is a flat mop and just replacing towels. Really enjoying your video’s. Keep up with your compassion to help and clean!
I have found that if you go over ceilings and walls with a dry stiffer first, it makes the actual washing a lot easier. It’s amazing how much dust can accumulate there.
Thought I might offer a tip for cat wee smell removal. Mouthwash. It is truly amazing 😊
Oh and it is so good of you to help these folks.
What kind of mouthwash? Listerine or just any type? Then rub it in or just spray it?
What kind of mouthwash?
@@lindaacosta2435 any old type of mouthwash. Just add to mopping water as you would disinfectant and clean.
Appreciate seeing someone that has the patience and understanding to know that it's a process to unlearn bad habits and integrate new better ones
You are amazing to do this. That was a ton of work but totally get how satisfying it is for you.
thank you!!
Sweet kitty helping u😍 Love their clean dishes..
Great job but ideally the owner should be helping and learning the art of cleaning well.
Yes i think so too,,,,you are not babysitting and being their mum,,,,it does not help them.
I’m so glad you could help this person, (and I hope you were duly compensated.) For those without mental/emotional or addiction issues, it’s sometimes difficult to understand, accept, and adjust for the shit that happens as a result. No one will be cured by criticism. But you take it on without judgement. Bravo! Thank you!!! 😊
Looked more like a labor of love or pity for a friend or relative. Not a paying job.
thank you! i really hope it makes a difference for them!
@@lauramitchell6725 Excuse me, you have the right to your opinion. That said, 'pity' has no place in this scenario at ALL. And to add insult to injury you go on to add that her being paid is somehow farfetched?
For THIS volume of work? Unreal!
@@robyndismon394 I am truly surprised by your comment to me. 😟First of all, if I was so depressed that my home was full of bugs,cat pee and poop,I sure hope that someone would have pity on me and help me with a huge,wonderful reset! Second of all,the reason that I said “not a paying job” was because she said she was hopeful because they had a job interview so I assumed presently unemployed. She also said they had no car to get to the laundromat so she washed a ton of clothes and then she and her husband bought them a washer and dryer and about $100.00 worth of parts to hook it up. I certainly could be wrong but doubt that they had the hundreds of dollars that such a cleaning job would cost.
@@lauramitchell6725 Hello Laura, let me begin by saying that I was only responding to how your comment sounded as I read it. We can't always know what everyone is thinking or feeling internally. It simply sounded as though you didn't think the job was worth paying for. Now I understand that's not what you intended at all. So forgive me
I didn't have the correct understanding..
We can both agree that Gabbie is doing an amazing job as all of her viewers can see as well.😅
That room came out really nice. God bless you for helping someone in need. 🙂
Oh yes, i used to clean after tenant move out, and the smoker's places were the worst. I'm talking about rivulets of brown liquid running down the walls while cleaning them. TSP for the win! Cleaned everything back to white paint and removed the smell as well. Although, I only had hardwood floors to worry about ... I can't imagine the carpets could ever be fully cleaned of smoke and cat pee, I would think they'd have to be ripped out and replaced.
The cats are so adorable. I hope this person is able to figure out why they’re marking and get them to use the litter box
Kilz paint is probably the only thing to get rid of the left over cat spray. It will also get rid of the smell. We had to use it on all of our floors for similar reasons.
I'm a smoker and I would no sooner smoke in the house or leave a butt anywhere other than an ashtray than fly to the moon. You've done an amazing job, I do hope they appreciate it & keep up cleaning, but alas I doubt it.
Ive done this for 30+years.I understand your need to help them but please know,without them getting psychological support, it will not change completely .The best of luck in sharing your talent,stay safe!!!
removing the screen/tv from the bedroom might help keeping the bedroom as a place to sleep and not to smoke and play games etc.? and the litter boxes.
I love his artwork! Maybe a clean workspace will give him an outlet to paint more 💙
A spin mop is the best thing I've found to clean walls. On another note, as some who used to be part of a cat rescue organization, the best thing to get rid of the cat odors & stains is Nature's miracle enzymatic stain & odor remover. In a pinch or on a budget cleaning vinegar and baking soda can be really effective. Cleaning vinegar is also really good at getting rid of nicotine odor and stains because it breaks down the tar and deodorizes at the same time.
The people that live here must be so thankful for you helping them. It's so kind of you.
I would help this but it would not be done again for them the hoarding doesn't look that severe but just the pure nastiness. They need to get help so they can help themselves especially with you giving them a clean start. May God continue to bless you. Some baskets to help put things in their proper place may help. I can't say it enough, you are a selfless, kind, amazing, awesome wonderful person to do this. Looks like someone is into gaming as well 🤔
You are a miracle worker!
If cleaning were an Olympic event you would place gold. Amazing
the effort!!!! washing all those walls and ceilings....incredible job! oh my gosh
Hey, I just finished watching first 2 videos. What a great thing you are doing. If you use non biological washing powder and bicarbonate soda with water to wash cat areas it removes smell which discourages them to go back to area. It’s really effective, hope that helps ⭐️
And some wil not go in a dirty litterbox. 1 cat, 2 litterboxes. 2 cats, 3 litterboxes. Also some cats develop arthritis or something and cannotvuse a box with high sides. Thet have a high sense of smell. Probably the cats really appreciate it too.
What is non biological washing powder?
@@bettypecoraro8104 I’ve had a look on internet and non biological detergent in the states is a detergent that contains no enzymes or proteins ie. Eco max or sun free & clear
Odo ban for the places where the cats are marking. It will take away the odor,you can also clean with it.
One problem with going through the trouble to try and get those cat peed on baseboards perfect is that the cat still lives there, if you catch my drift. Kitty's just gonna keep marking those spots unless something is done to help with the behavior...ask me how I know this. (We actually rehomed a cat for this exact reason. It was heartbreaking, but my grandma's house had turned into a giant cat box and she couldn't take it anymore. It worked out so perfectly in the end though, as sad as we were. She ended up being a barn cat! She had all the space to roam around, pee wherever she wanted and she still got the loves and pets of the people there. I still really miss her though.
Been there. Wasted time and effort. They don't care or mind. I cleaned several times for a relative, only to have it return. They have to want it.
True....theese 2 lazy bums need to clean themselves.
Just a little tip to rid house of smoke plain ol’ cheap ammonia! We purchased a our first home knowing we’d clean and paint and we still had smoke smell! So I ran across a tip which was to put ammonia in a cup and container and sit it in the middle of the room! I kept forgetting they were there and knocking them over so I used a cup and put it in all the window sills and after changing ammonia a few times ….smoke smell gone! I used it in a car that we purchased way back when newly married an it was cheaper because of the cigarette smoke smell! I smiled inside till the deal was done and I scrubbed everything and would leave a mug of ammonia in it each night and allow it to draw out smoke smell! People even commented later …love your new to you car…it even smells new!
🙌🙌🙌🙌 The walls! We all gasped here at home. One because you are wonderful to be doing the hard work of cleaning ceilings but also the thought of this person breathing that in all the time. I hope the clean was a chance or an honest fresh start for them. Well done You! Oh and that desk clean 😮❤
When you have said : I'm unbelievable exiced" I thought that you' ve said I'm unbelievable exhausted! Incredible job! Great
That's a lot of work. You did a great job. You may want to try using a squeegee with a cloth to clean the ceilings and walls. Saves your back and neck. Also, squeegee cleans a wider area.
Just like AURIKATARIINA does in her videos.
I was thinking while watching your first video that you need a sprayer and bam there it is!!LOL
Probably not very charitable, but maybe if they cut their smoking in half they would be able to afford a routine cleaning service. Having a consistently clean house would do a lot to help the depression. Depression can make everything overwhelming but maybe walking into a house with less chaos would be one less stressor.
Or a washer for their laundry. They don't even need a dryer. In Europe everyone uses drying racks. Works perfect.
What a difference! I hope he keeps it clean.
There are 2 guys living there.
I'm shocked with the amount of work you are willing to do for another person. WOW! You've made A HUGE difference!
Someone this depressed needs a trash can near EVERY seat! It helps a ton. Great cleaning!
Wow that door!
Looks amazing!!! 🤯👏🏻
The room needs a hamper so that even though he doesn’t have a washer/dryer at least the dirty clothes can (hopefully) be contained ☺️
My grandpa used to live like this, I give it a good 4 months, it should be back to the way you found it.
That's amazing! I love cleaning for people to make their life easier. I clean houses for a living too.
Thank you for all you do to help others. Do you use their vacuum cleaner or your own? If you use your own, how do you keep the vacuum from smelling like smoke, cat urine, etc.? Thank you again for sharing.
I use a mop to mop the walls, slightly less neck breaking
Swiffer*
If you do a lot of cleaning like this you need a hand held steamer. Works wonderfully
hey I strongly recommend a microfiber flat mop for the cieling and walls to get the job done fast and easier
It's a wonder that this house hasn't gone up in flames, by the look of all the cigarettes found on /in every surface in the bedroom. Thank you for taking on this task. Again!
Love the Music it went well with your cleaning,all in Rythm!
I fight depression myself and it seems to get worse as I get older. I get it but, if you can play games and light up a cig, you can pick up after yourself. You are a hard worker and they are lucky to have you. Thank you for helping out the sick. You’ve earned my subscription 10x over 🌺🌺🌺
Magic Eraser is a must. Flat mop with removable microfiber. Many different brands. I like Bona brand. Make washing ceilings and walls much faster. Use the TSP in water.
What’s “TSP”?
Go to Ace hardware they will have it
Great Job! I mentioned in the comments on the last video but I will mention it again here. You can place litter boxes inside of large cardboard boxes with a U shape cut out of them this way there will be so much less kick over of litter and you are not staring at poop and gives the cats privacy also. I get a new outer cardboard box every once in a while. Must scoop daily or every other day. The question is like how often you would flush after pooping???
Sounds/looks like the cat is not using the litter box.🤷🏽♀️ The whole apartment is their litter box.
Guuuuurl. From one clean freak to the next.... use one of those swiffer sweeper things with the long handle, put your cleaning rag on that and use it on the ceilings and walls. Your spine will thank you? Mr clean erasers can do wonders and Stoners invisible glass is fantastic on all glass surfaces. You did a great job here though. Hope this tenant has a brighter future. Alright, nevermind guess I should watch the while video first before I suggested the wall and ceiling thing. Lol
So very sad. What a wonderful thing you are doing for these people. I hope they find the help they need.❤️
Can't blame the cats. I'm sure the litter box is as dirty as the rest of the house. Cats don't like going in a dirty litter box. 😾
It's a choice, I have a girlfriend who grew up in filth she said the only time anything got done was when she did it, once she grew up married you could go to her house and eat off the floors, I raised my children is a clean house they got clean sheets on their beds once a week good home cooked meals clean cloths and one mistake on my part was doing every thing they never did things the way I wanted it so I'd go over what they did do my daughter grew up married and the only time her house got clean was when I would go there I did that for years I finally stopped and I told her she never appreciated my helping go ahead and live the way you want to.
What kind of cleaning solution was in your sprayer that you used on ceiling and walls?
Also, I am impressed how much you manage to clean. I never thought that the ceiling could be restored like that!
If you use a swiffer sweeper with a microfiber cloth instead of the wipes that come with it you can clean the walls and ceilings much easier though I see you used a mop later on so nm
Cats pee and poop on floor because litter boxes aren’t being cleaned enough. I hate to say this, but some people won’t change. You are an awesome person for trying to help. At this point I’d worry they are taking advantage of free house cleaning.
Hello from Israel
Yo did a wonderful job
A real inspiration
Thanks
WOW! What a change. Can't believe the color change of the ceiling and walls. You really do a thorough cleaning and I wonder what products you use. Clorox is always a good one that you mentioned. That was some really hard work and bless you for all the effort and muscle strain. Thanks for sharing and this is the first I have seen of your videos. I will look for more. Be safe.
You Did such a Great Job . I used to clean for the wealthy Home owners nothing Dirty like that . Wow Until I visited a Cousins home was almost that bad 😬 She is also has Depression and Hard working Nurse . She smokes outside now she quit . I helped her one weekend it was a lot of work . 👍
Thanks for the ceiling cleaning motivation.
Sprinkle backing soda on carpet let set over night then vacuum. Might help. Wow I know it's hard work good job done.
I always subscribe to peoples cleaning channels. Anyone can eat and film themselves, but not everyone can clean and do an amazing job at it.
Great clean❤I love that you are so thorough. 🎉
You are a powerhouse. Leagues above all the cleaners I’ve seen on RUclips.
Great job. So nice for you to help these people.
