    Dude. How did you raise such a son. The audacity of him to have his teeth in his mouth, LOL. Props to you for raising the type of kid that's willing to help, even if he and his teeth act like they own something.

    I attempted to do some organizing/cleaning for a hoarder friend. The house was tightly packed (trails) and every horizontal surface piled high. But frequently I'd discover drawers and cabinets that were nearly empty. I think there was a visual component to my friend's hoarding -- he needed to see everything.

      The infuriating thing is people in general care more about the animals than they do the kids. I grew up in a very small town where there was a known animal hoarder. She was reported numerous times. Animal protection eventually came in and took away all the animals citing the entire home as an unfit environment. Social services came in but left all 3 kids in the home. One of them was in my class, and she smelled so terrible that all of us smelled like her at the end of the day. The kids never were taken away from that woman.

    I love your videos and I watch one whilst taking breakfast every Saturday to get me in the right spirit for tackling another part of my hoard, section by section (just like you advised). I work 40-hour-weeks and when adding the commute, I don't spend much time at home between Monday and Friday and consequently I don't get much done during the week, but nowadays I go all in every Saturday and Sunday! I have also followed your brilliant advice to sort things into categories and into tubs, and it has helped me tremendously! Just becoming aware of the sheer amount of stuff I have in every category is mindblowing! I started with my (very small!) bathroom and its overflowing cabinets. Oh boy!!! 😱 I mean: who needs 30+ lipsticks, 30+ bottles of nail polish, 25+ bottles of shampoo, and 40+ bottles of shower gel? 🤔 I have tossed a lot of stuff, I have asked friends and family to come and help themselves to what they want - and now it's all reduced to manageable numbers. 🎉 I still don't need to buy shampoo or shower gel in the foreseeable future 😅 Besides, the fact that I cleared out the room entirely, as if I just moved in (another advice you gave!), allowed for a deep cleaning - it's all shiny and sparkling now! - and it also gave me a chance to rearrange my stuff in more convenient ways. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! My bedroom and its stuffed-to-the-brim closets are next 💪🏻👵🏻 However, I still need to work up an enormous amount of courage to tackle my kitchen, the room of doom that is supposed to be my guest bedroom, and my basement 😅 But I am on it - baby steps, but steps nevertheless 😇

    i love these videos and i am so happy to have stumbled upon them. it is true also, that hoarders should not be villainized; they are just broken and in trouble, and in need of help, compassion, and psychological remedy. i am schizophrenic and have ocd, and so i do have a clutter and hoarding problem myself. when i became homeless, i uses to live in a flimsy little shelter that was not only nasty when i got there, but that i had a hard time keeping up with myself. one day, i found a kitten; a runt left behind because it was too slow and ditzy to keep up with its mother. it was my intention to bring it to a shelter, but we had quickly bonded, and it was the first time in a long time that i had some kind of companionship. she was abandoned and alone, just like me. i took her in and for the first time i had something to dedicate my love and care to, because at the time i couldnt even do that for myself. i started to clean our shelter and develop a routine around maintaining the space, because i didnt want my kitten to get sick. i had found the willpower to get my shit together and organize and clean, because i cared so much for this small and helpless thing that i thought deserved so much better.
    it has been about 5 years since then, and my kitty has grown to be so healthy and strong!! i still do struggle with organization because i am the way that i am, but i am definitely getting better about figuring out what works for me. progress even if it takes time is still progress. i always make sure to at least keep everything sanitary and non-toxic, and to uphold a routine of sweeping and throwing trash out. one of my rules of thumb is that if something stinks, it IMMEDIATELY has to leave the house.
    best wishes good sir, and thank you again for creating these videos. they are not only quite satisfying to digest, but also help in devising methods of approaching the filth and how to most effectively tackle it. =)

      In some hoarders' houses, there are dead pets. Even animals like clean homes and they don't deserve such dreadful treatment. And I don't understand why hoarders can't hire a cleaning service. Don't want to clean?? Fine. Let someone else do it. Not all hoarders are poor, you know.

      @@Erin-rg3dw because they're dealing with a mental illness, usually the loss of a loved one, or some form of trauma and they use the hoarding as a coping mechanism. To you and I it's probably super logical to just call for help. To them it's not seen as a problem, it's seen as an extension of themselves/their emotions. I used to live with someone who was a hoarder. You couldn't throw anything away because it was either an emotional or financial loss in some way to her. Come to find out a lot of the reason she hoarded was she didn't receive the love and affection growing up that she needed so she constantly bought things to fill that void.

    I love watching your videos and watching you slap the dirt off - doesn't scare me in the least. 😂
    When I was a teenager, (a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away) I spent a few weeks during summer vacation with my uncle and his wife. He married her when she was 15 and when I stayed there, she was probably in her early 20's. She didn't clean the house they lived in and had even bagged up the dirty dishes and threw them under the house in the basement. When I watch you clean houses like this it reminds me of that summer because I went in and cleaned the house from top to bottom and washed/sanitized everything including the dishes that weren't broken. I love cleaning up houses that really-I mean really need it.
    Two thumbs up to you and your son! I'll bet you are very proud of him!!!

    "...like, dude, you need to mow your door." 🙃
    On occasion I deep clean friends'/relatives houses when they are hospitalized (or as a present when they've left on vacation), which I enjoy even though it's hard. Your sense of humor will make my next clean more enjoyable.

    G'day, Adam! 28 F. = -2.22222 C. Brrrr! Kudos to you and your helper for working in that cold. I realise that it's in the Midwest, but even so, you're brave and I commend you.
