I love that she uses just a few tried and true products. She doesn't use 50 different products and keeps it super simple. If you have a scrub daddy, dish soap, and power paste you can conquer the world.
@@camilamontalvan6735 It drives me CRAZY when people do that “overload” crap in their toilets, it’s a huge waste of cleaning products and is actually really dangerous mix all of those together. They don’t even realize that could be a deadly mistake! There’s no reason to do it 🙄
The reason why people are afraid to ask for help is all the judgment they’ll receive from most people. If more people were understanding, it’d make things a lot better in life. I see people be so compassionate and empathetic towards animals but not towards fellow human beings.
Me too. I hate cleaning and wouldn't in the world understand someone getting excited and happy about a house like this, to me it'd be a nightmare that'd give me anxiety. She's helping me change my perspective and being more willing to clean my own house. I try not to make a mess first so that I don't have to clean too much, but I do have dust at home often and it can get a bit cluttered (never remotely near the extent of the houses in these video and never with food residuals, which would make me sick). My house is old with stuff from my deceased grandparents and mother, so removing things is harder for me psychologically. Some dirt in the kitcken has been sitting for years during the time we didn't live in the house so now it's really hard to remove and would just need renovating the whole thing, but I don't have the money to do it. Seeing her is inspiring. I did a big clean-up of my living room yesterday and I while doing it I was thinking of her haha. It looks lovely now :)
as someone who struggles with bad depression and my room has looked similar to this before, thanks for being so kind in the way you speak. nothing hurts more than being unable to keep clean and being ridiculed and degraded for it.
@@MelissaK-lh4ig life has its ups and downs, but i’m doing better than i ever have before. thanks for asking, considering i’m just a stranger on the internet !! :3
@@sagescorner256 Of course!! I just want you to know I have had bad times as well but Jesus saved me and gave me everlasting love and eternal life. God wants to do the Same with you. He is not mad with you He just wants you to come to Him and believe in the gospel, He loves you and so do I. We are all people Madeby the Same Creator
I noticed that too, like she’ll clean the kitchen sink but then has to dump a bunch of stuff in it. I guess if it’s not too much of an issue for her it’s ok!
If it's anything like cleaning a car then you clean from bottom to top, so the dirt doesn't stick as you're washing. It looks like it's more work but it's actually faster.
what resspeckt ? and what energi hear scream energi i think she should just shut upp and boom her followers will come and help her oh wait what followers am i talking about she got none she dosent evenhave anything
I just love this girl's attitude and willingness to donate so much personal time and HARD work in a filthy environment to help people. Not everything can be solved with money.
How does she not have pimples and rashes after being exposed to so much dirt and grime? She even breathed in all that dust that fell on her. How?! I get blemishes if I did the same thing, and that's even when i have long deep-clean shower immediately after. I would need a hazmat suit to clean such a dirty space.
@@ayeshak6822 dirt and grime dont give pimples or rashes,only chemicals that are dissolved to the blood stream,all the utensils she uses are safe for the human body to breathe,obviously not on large ammounts but still,if dirt and grime gave rashes and blemishes,everyone would have them (simple anatomy lesson incoming) if she was to breathe dust she would start sneezing,thats the noses defense mechanism to when particles that arent going in deep into the nose canal to get out,simple,it also happens to everyone who cleans the slightest bit of dust.
I appreciate that so much too. Of course it’s shocking and sometimes gross seeing some kinds of messes like something really moldy, but I love that she doesn’t badly about the house owner. People in these situations feel immense guilt and shame and don’t need to be reminded that it’s gross. Instead she says how excited she is to clean it up!
We all have struggles. I don’t run-down someone because their struggle is different from my own. I like this lady’s positive attitude. A little over the top. But I like that too!!
@@oneman6804 What about people who were neglected or ignored as kids and cannot help the fact they were never taught self control? Some people don’t make the decision to be a hoarder, they were just never taught those life skills. I understand what you’re saying though, it is their decision whether to work on the problem or not, but it’s not their decision to become a hoarder every time. I know someone who has been through trauma and lost their spouse and now has become a hoarder, is it her fault she isn’t working on it? Yes. But is it her fault she was not taught these skills and has been through those experiences? No.
I never realized there were so many people who lived like this. She certainly never runs out of content to film. I find these cleaning videos to be very inspirational. I love learning new cleaning tips and tricks. It’s fun to start cleaning by telling myself I must first collect all the trashes. Lol
As someone who has worked in cleaning. A lot more people live like this that you'd expect. And they're often the best clients since they're the most grateful.
I’m a student mental health nurse and recommend you to all my patients who aren’t able to keep their homes clean just to normalise it and MAYBE find a little bit of motivation to clean just one item or space in their home! Your kindness is like a domino effect
One thing at a time is what I taught my kids when they were little. One area or one item cleaned first then the next. It works for those who have issues with attention.
@@molliemae6855 It is for pople with certain mental health conditions or pshysical problems. Shaming them will make them keep it quiet and not look for help.
I just started dating someone whose home looks like some of the ones you clean. I helped them start decluttering and cleaning the kitchen today... Baby steps. I channeled my inner Auriikatariina to give me strength! Thank you so much, your videos help me approach cleaning in a different mindset.
Wow, the fact that you chose to continue with them although you only just started dating is moving. I'm living in this mess at the moment and can't even imagine talking to people let alone dating 😖😖
Bless you for helping them and not just being grossed out, a lot of people deal with a lot of things, physical or mental, that make everyday tasks like cleaning impossible ❤️
I dated a guy like that about eight years ago. I thought helping him clean up would inspire him but it did not. we did not live close to each other, so I only saw him every couple weeks and I would clean up his house and go back two weeks later and it would be in the same state. Accept that you are always going to be the cleaner and that they are not going to change. If you think he is going to change then you’re starting off on the wrong foot.
@@joygernautm6641 As someone who struggled with depression (sometimes still do) I agree with you. Although it doesn't mean they're taking advantage of you or taking you for granted, it just means they're probably still not in a healing place. Thank you anyways for trying my dear 💕
There are many reasons why I love this channel so much. 1. it's satisfying (y'all can't deny that) 2. She actually uses GLOVES unlike some others on RUclips. 3. She does not over do it with the products (some people do and i worry about their well being) 4. She has fun and is helping people which adds to her selfless nature that I admire 5. This channel is very educational and I've learned a lot about cleaning as a result. This channel is so wholesome and I just love it. ❤️
Also she is cleaning something that is dirty, not going over a clean counter top... (hinch) the part I struggle with is finding the motivation to start, watching these videos helps to see how much of a difference cleaning can be.
as soon as i heard the homeowner was using a walker, i imagined a disabled or old person not being able to clean by themselves and having nobody to help them and then i teared up. it's lovely how you help people❤
You are the reason I now have scrub daddy products in my house. Power paste, scrub daddy, scrub mommy, and the dish wand. It took years for me to finally buy some and now I always have them.
@@geriostube9959 I love the Scrub mommy! And I’ve tried many sponges before. I’m planning to get the other supplies but since her RUclips blew up it’s hard to find in my area.
Auri, I am a housekeeper at a veteran facility and have been using your tips and tricks when I clean and I have been getting so much praise for how amazing everything looks. Thank you!! ❤️
Thank YOU for doing the work you do, too ❤️imagine what the world might be like if we all were more compassionate and caring like you and Auri, including toward ourselves.
I remember one video when Auri talked about how much her back hurt after cleaning, which I think is great. So many cleanfluencers try to make it look like this level of work is effortless, but it takes hours and it's hard! Don't get discouraged if you need to take breaks or spread out cleaning over time.
yesss. i have chronic pain and a broken tailbone (and was recently in a car accident), i can do maybe 5-15 minute bursts, but my mom stopped by the other day and did it all within 45 minutes 😅 i almost cried when i got home today
Jess B For real! It’s like a workout, especially if you’re cleaning a house this bad. You’re standing all day, using your arms so much, and can be bent over for a long time. It’s important to do it in reasonable steps!
In a video she mentioned she did a lot of physical labor by cleaning houses full time. It's just exhausting but so satisfying to clean the house for me = v=
As someone who deals with on and off depressive episodes this videos have changed my life! I love cleaning along side you. Keep up these videos. We need more people like you.
Same. Whenever I watch her videos after I had some bad days, I'm like: "Alright girl, don't let it get bad. Get to clearing the counters, it'll only take a few minutes. If Aurikatariina can clean things that are that dirty, so can you!" And the dish soap tip is truly a godsend. Before I never truly knew where to start!
@@connieandersen9023 my grandma taught me to use oven cleaner! It tackles the grease that stains the bathtub. Spray on the whole surface and leave on for an hour or two. Then take your trusty scrubber and see the magic after you rinse! If the stains are particularly bad sometimes it takes two rounds. Bon chanse!
same! When I feel overwhelmed, and don't know where to start, I ear the little voice "first collect the trashes" and it's actually helping me to get back on track.
I ALWAYS say the same 😅. I’m in the US, seems other countries gave more thought to cleaning, esp bathrooms! I’d love to scrub everything and rinse it down! 😍
Some tips for fellow people with depression: 1) identity some small things that make an important difference to you - eg, I'm usually barefoot, so having nice floors means a lot to me. I use specific mugs for specific purposes, so I like keeping those clean. 2) set up something that you'd like to do - make yourself a hot drink and maybe set up a video that you want to watch, put aside a book you're reading, whatever works. 3) do only enough cleaning for 10-15 minutes to achieve those important things for you. I vacuum the main traffic areas in my flat, and at least wash the cups I use daily and the bowl I usually use for dinner. Sometimes dishes are left, and I know I'm not getting all the dust and bits off the floor, but I'm getting the Important Stuff. 4) usually the hot drink I've made has cooled enough to drink by this point, but is still nicely warm. I can immediately settle into the thing I was looking forward to as a reward and way to relax. 5) if you feel like doing a little extra (finishing the dishes, moving things to vacuum more thoroughly, folding your shirts as well as your socks, etc), gently let yourself do them so long as it won't use up your energy reserves for the rest of your Important Stuff tasks. Reward yourself extra if you manage this, if you feel like, but always give yourself a reward regardless, no matter how 'little' you've gotten done. Small things always, always add up and make a difference. The 'little' things that you've managed to do are exhausting, but they'll take a big weight off your shoulders. We can do it. 💚;
Auri, I'm from Brazil and I'm addicted to your videos. You made me see cleaning as something satisfying and fun. I live with psychological problems since I was 14 years old (now I'm 22), and my mom died from Covid in 2020 so I started living by myself. It has been quite impossible to let the house clean, and as soon as I started watching your videos, I started cleaning everything around here. I'm grateful to you!!! By the way I'm CRAZY about the Scrub Daddy products, they don't sell it here in Brazil, but I'm looking for something like them to buy this week. 🥰❤️
Seu ingles é muuuuito bom! Sinto muito por sua perda! 😔 Fico feliz em saber que esta se cuidando e cuidando do seu espaço! Eu fui ver a scrub daddy pra comprar esses dias! Custa entre 4 e 6 dolares aqui na Florida! Procure uma personal shopper pra te enviar!
Força, amiga. Perdi meus pais quando tinha sua idade. A gente reaprende a viver. Essas esponjas que ela usa são basicamente iguais as esponjas de pia e uma que parece bombril mas eh mais carinha, nao lembro o nome agora. No lugar do power paste eu uso sapólio (pesquisei na internet e nao achei a base do power paste, então sapolio eh oq tem pra hoje). Recomendo MUITÍSSIMO um mop spray, ajuda DEMAIS a rapidamente segurar a sujeira da casa.
I've been following you for a while now, your cleaning tips have really helped me, and you showed me that I do not need tons of cleaning products, only a few chosen ones are more than enough. Thank you Auri and btw congrats on winning the creator award!
We had black dirt in the corners of the floor, that nobody in 15-20 years that I remember them, managed to clean. Thanks to Auri I tried it with oven cleaner..and voila! these decades of dirt disappeared :)
I'm seeing this for the first time and am so grateful. I am 62 years old and never learned how to clean. No one in my family did either. Thanks for the information.
@@n1milesedgeworthfan Like everything else in life, she learned or was taught. To some people, building things comes naturally and they have an easier time learning, even if they have to learn it on their own. For others, art is like that. Not everyone picks up the same teachings and skills at the same rate or same time as others. People are different like that. 🤷♀️
I'm struggling so hard today with my depression and really trying to get up and clean. I atleast got up and showered and brushed my teeth so I call that a win! Watching your channel sorta helps me get the motivation
hey bestie, i'm very proud of you for showering and brushing your teeth! im doing a lot better now, but ive been in real bad places mentally and my bedroom has gotten real bad as a result, not quite to the level of these videos, but damn close (which is part of the reason i love this channel so much, she's so helpful to people ive been very similar to) so i wanted to share a little thing that helped me. i would get super overwhelmed, and i wouldn't know where to start and so it would get worse and i'd get more overwhelmed, but i eventually figured out a little checklist so i would know where to start. the checklist was, laundry, dishes, and rubbish. i'd take dishes to the kitchen, throw laundry in the bathtub or make a pile just outside my room, and get a garbage bag for all the rubbish. please don't focus too much on how much you have to do, trying to get yourself to clean 24/7 and not being able to is really draining, so for just a few days, don't have any intention to clean anything. just let yourself relax. then, plan to do one small task, like get the dishes out of your room, or just wash your spoons, then take a break the next day and spend your relaxing time thinking of another small task you won't exhaust yourself doing the next day. it is so so important to remember to relax without thinking about doing anything else. good luck, i'm rooting for you :)
I’ve seen House Hunters in Germany and there you can literally take your kitchen with you when you move. Counters, cabinets, everything can be removable. It’d be awesome if someone just remodeled their kitchen then had to move for some reason.
It's amazing that you share all the cleaning techniques with the viewers. Please do this for each video, it is extremely useful. Thank you for helping the people who are no longer able to clean, you are genuinely their saving angel.
It amazes me, how she doesnt get to disgusted. I mean, I get disgusted by my own dirt (I have lived awfully), but someone else's dirt is a whole other level. Respect to that!
Aurikateriina is SO kind, but now she has so many views, she is okay. Other yters that show earnings, say that 1,000,000 views equals roughly $10,000. 100,000 views, $1000. Plus sponsorship for cleaning products. I think you can also earn off fb, and other hosts. She is so kind and positive, but now she is okay. Should be very comfortable.
I have multiple disabilities and cleaning is so so difficult for me, I’m bed bound a lot of the time and it feels very sad to be stuck living in filth. Thank you for all you do, it really means a lot. You have no idea how big a difference it truly makes, especially to us with limitations or health issues
Yeh it really sucks :( The only thing worse than living in dirt though, is when people with a peachy life say you're just lazy and that you shouldn't use health problems 'as an excuse' I'm sure there are people in the world who are just lazy and don't care, but mostly at the very least it's down to depression, even if they don't have any physical health problems preventing them from cleaning. I have met a couple of people who genuinely just believed things like 'toilets are supposed to have shit stains' 😕 I find that's a good way to determine actual problems from those who are simply lazy or gross - the lazy/gross ones don't give a toss, those genuinely struggling don't want to he like that but struggle to fix it :(
Aurikatariina, you're such a positive force on this planet. You've found a business model that allows you to clean other people's houses for free, without exploiting or dehumanising them like other online or reality content. You're able to integrate sponsorships that genuinely teach people how to clean properly too. I remember the judgement from my parents, and sadness at things getting dirty when I'd give up and say "I guess that pot is ruined now". But now, I respect that it's a practise and expertise, and can use your so well timestamped video to teach myself too. This is environmentally friendly cause now, people won't give up and throw things away - they can make them like new. I can't believe you've properly subtitled the video as well, rather than rely on auto translate for those with accessibility needs (who are often going to be more vulnerable to letting their homes get like this with all of life's pressures!). So, not only is your method genius, but you're making the world a better place. Thank you. :)
I was so frustrated that she wasn't cleaning all the dirt on the counter, until i realized, it was actually on my phone from when my kid last had it. 🤣🤣🤣 in conclusion 10/10 video!!! 🥰😍🥰
I just love you!!!! You never talk negative about messes or your client/friend. The worse the mess, the happier you are! Thank you for such a positive, kind and generous model for the world to see. You are awesome!!!
I found that when my depression flares up, my hoarding tendencies come out. (I don't have bags of trash or tons of fast food cups in my house, but things don't get put away properly) My grown daughter and I had a discussion about her upbringing and how hard it is to learn good cleaning habits when they weren't taught.
@Lily The Pink It's a really good sign that you have empathy for your precious son though and it's not too late for him to learn, unless he doesn't want to! Have you apologised and talked about it with him? I realise that it's not easy, yet I really admire people, especially parents, who can do so. I won't go into details about my situation, except to mention that I caused issues for my daughter, hence why I'm mentioning it. 💞
My apartment gets awful because of depression/anxiety and apparently I'm also on the high functioning side of the autism spectrum?? So it's really hard for me to clean when it gets this way because it just becomes so overwhelming. I love watching these videos because it shows you that even if you tackle a small section you can physically see how much progress it is and a lot of the times it doesn't take too long? I think the problem for me is just getting started and jumping in so I'm really thankful for videos like these because they motivate me to get going.
I have the same problem with getting started so I learned this one technique to "trick" myself into cleaning. I tell myself I only have to clean 1 thing (usually a small thing like microwave or sweep one room). once I get started I love seeing the result that I then feel motivated to keep going! I hardly ever only clean the 1 thing and often clean a whole room or even my whole house without realizing it
@@nottheone582 yeah exactly! It's like, if you pick a small corner or one small area or thing to clean then you get yourself started which is great! I also found that when I worked on my motivation/energy through therapy and now that I'm in a better place, I'm having such an easy time being motivated to clean
when im in depressive episodes i force myself to clean (doing the dishes, cleaning up the living room, gathering up and taking the trash out) and when im manic i normally deep clean my whole house 😭 there is no in between sadly
I’m thinking about this for my autistic son. Maybe a list of exactly what to do and where to start might help. Then you can see the steps and not the whole mess. I have ADHD (okay maybe autism too) and I know how hard it is to get started.
@@pluckysongs I had to leave my apartment for a few days and I came back and the fruit flies are garbage is so overwhelming that I'm just crying. I've been crying for hours trying to get myself to get out of bed to clean something, anything, take out the trash or set up fly traps but I feel so overwhelmed I can't move. I want more than anything for one of my parents to come just sit with me and help me but my mom is extremely judgemental and my dad is busy at work. If you can help your son... Please just he with him and let him know that it's going to be okay and to clean together slowly. Put on music, and just have fun together... I feel like that's the only way some days when it's too overwhelming. I feel so isolated because I have no one to ask to help me right now, my partner is at work and she's also so tired and stressed that I feel this is my one job I need to do right now.
I just tried your oven cleaner and plastic wrap method and a scraper to clean the glass oven window. IT WORKED!! IT WAS SUPER FAST!!! I will NEVER doubt your methods again!!! My daughter and I are in the midst of spring cleaning and decluttering and organizing.
When I was a teen, I struggled heavily with depression and couldn't keep my room (or anything else) clean for the life of me. It caused many conflicts between my mother and I, because she wanted her house (including my room) to be clean and I didn't have the energy, oversight or know-how to do it. It caused so many fights that I eventually went to live with my dad because our relationship deteriorated so badly. For years, I felt like a horrible, dirty person for getting stressed out at the concept of cleaning. Through your videos, I'm learning how to do it from a place of non-judgement and fun, and life is so much better! I'm still battling depression, but I can get my spaces clean much faster now that I know how to apply a system to it, and my mother and I are talking again. Thank you so much for these wonderful and educational videos!!
I started watching your videos and now I'm obsessed!!! I love all your tips. I used oven cleaner for my shower and filthy soap scum shower doors. It Was AMAZING 👏 . THANK YOU. THANK YOU. A MILLION. I have a good tip for you. If you have blood, urine any kind of body fluid soak it with peroxide takes it right out. Keep on making your wonderful videos. You're so kind that you do this for free. Bless you
Your videos have taught me how to actually clean! I used to get frustrated that cleaning always took so much time and elbow grease, and then still left little bits afterwards. Like a loosing battle. But now I know the right way to clean, I've been systematically deep cleaning and organising section by section of my house over the last few weeks of watching your videos. And the miracle is- It stays clean now! Because it's *actually* clean, instead of *surface level* clean. I also love you attitude and giving nature. Thank you for helping me!
Hey Lewok, Why not explore why such cluttering is becoming a serious problem? Checkout the video titled Hoarders VS Homeless, it was quite useful to addreds the psychological aspect behind all this filth
I was recently motivated to clean one of the dirtiest corners in our house. I used all the tips you give in your videos and... well... it worked, but the moment when you apply water and dish soap on a heavily moldy floor, let it sit, and then use a scraper, and then STILL nothing comes off... you know that place has been neglected for YEARS - in our case for about 15 years, basically nobody touched it for about that long, maybe even longer. I eventually managed to clean at least most of it and i am so glad that your videos continue to motivate me to do this. Mainly since both of my parents are older and don't feel like cleaning or sorting out anything in the house as it is so old, filthy and just falling apart everywhere. Even cleaning it will never save it, but it makes it at least more bearable. Thank you ♥ edit: you also might think using chlorine would help in my case and i agree it might, but i don't think we have any around so i went with what i had ;u;
You’re so kind to do that for your parents 🥺 It sounds like you did a great job! I can only imagine how satisfying it was to look at the finished clean space that you put so much time and elbow grease into
Would try a 1/3 bleach with 2/3 water mix, and scrub with a hard bristled brush. I had a wall in my rental flat that had bad structural/damp issues, and this combination got the mold off
@@soysprouts thank you mia ;u; these videos from Auri really motivate me to do this a lot. Also other content creators that go into minimalism and zero waste stuff. We have like this HUUUGE pile of pickled foods... i would say over 50 jars at least and they are all over 30 years old. I am 100% sure nobody would ever want to eat those. Anyway enough bragging lol it always makes me feel good being able to see the space around me cleaner and better sorted. I can't wait to eventually save up enough to get into buying new stuff like new cabinets and such, since most of them are broken due to being overweight with "bs" and mold. ♥
@@Athruna yea might have to give that a try that, thank you! ♥ There are MANY walls in this house legit covered with black thick mold. Auri would be like "oh my god this is beautiful" hahaha
@@erikherinek Dear Erik, with mould, you should use a mask. Mould and fungus can make you very ill, breathing in. As well with chlorine and bleach - AND NEVER MIX CLEANING SOLUTIONS. Certainly not chlorine and bleach, which are already dangerous. Some react together and give off really dangerous gases. With bad smell, rub a bit of eucalyptus oil under nose, or peppermint oil. That will make things easier. And if you eat some ginger, and maybe put some ginger oil under nose, I know there is a study that shows if you eat ginger, you are less likely to puke or feel nausea.. Why not try spraying mouldy walls with eucalyptus oil? If you put eucalyptus oil on windows, and buff it, it really helps prevent mould on glass. So if your walls ARE ALREADY awful and wrecked, maybe concentrate on stopping mould? Also, a FANTASTIC eco friendly mould and fungal killer, is a steam cleaner. But it doesn't inhibit regrowth, if new spores fall. Euc oil will.
These are the homes I loved to clean when I was working. Having a regular weekly residential job is great for income purposes. But nothing hits the same as a home that actually needs you. You make me miss my work 😊
I felt the same back when I cleaned hotel rooms. While of course I am grateful that most guests make cleaning easy, when I would open the door to a tough clean up the first thought was always 'ohhh... interesting!'
Cleaning the houses that are already clean is the worst, I always looked for every speck of dust and it took me twice as long to clean as a normal or dirty house 💀😂
I am from Canada wish we had drains on the bathroom floor and shower heads that allowed us to spray down the bathroom like you do here it would be so much easier. I know if ever I get to construct my own house these things I will definitely include in my design!
In our house (the Netherlands) we have a walk-in shower and a long ass extend-o cord on one of the shower heads (the other one is a rain shower). The floor is eeeever so slightly inclined (Like, you don't even notice the incline unless you've got one of those balance stick things on the floor) in just the right way that the water will naturally flow down to the drain in the shower. Explaining exactly how it drains took 3 paragraphs so instead I made a little map lmfao, the line that goes horizontally across is the shower wall and the / is the door. So the bottom right corner is the highest spot in the room. Was making the map necessary? No. Did I like doing it? Yes. So. Uh. Deal with it I guess? Idk I hope it works on PC lmao __________ | _______| | | | | |_/ _____|
You know what would be cool - an update of the homes you’ve already cleaned. You know to see how they are dealing and are able to keep the house clean :) Thank you for your work! ^^
No. That would be too much pressure on those people. Probably would make many hesitant to reach out. It's difficult to ask for help in the first place. With added preassue of having to keep up and be judged for it? Too hard.
I don't think I've ever seen someone so excited to see a horrifyingly unkept kitchen. She's having so much fun and it makes this way more watchable than if it was just music
Auri - If you need to remove stains out of vases or narrow pieces drop in a denture tablet and let it sit. Works like magic and it’s inexpensive! Try it🤗
Love how respectful you are despite the mess, as someone with depression, it helps a lot when watching your video while cleaning as well and is encouraging
I have a terrible dust allergy and just started to watching this video makes my allergy want to show up. 😁 I think was a great challenge to clean all the things in this house.
In Greece too!We love to use gel chlorine with hot water everywhere.I also work in the amfitheater of a hospital as a videographer and during the covid pandemic the instructions were to use chlorine even upon the desks...
Do you just rinse the cloth after it’s dirty? Or throw it into the washing machine after one time use? Also, how many cloths and sponges do you usually go through when cleaning these homes? After how many uses should you throw away sponges?
I'm not Auri but I hope this helps: Rinsing the microfiber cloth is a good idea, it leaves less gunk in the washing machine. If you only have a limited amount of them, leaving them in soapy water in-between rooms/uses makes them clean enough to wipe surfaces again. Do not use them for anything else after the bathroom/toilet though! You usually do that last. When a sponge gets brittle you should toss it out, you can usually tell by the fading color and it not puffing up so much anymore when it dries. They also tend to get thinner since the material wears down :) Soak sponges in hot water and antibacterial cleaner after use and let it completely dry. Some can be thrown into the washing machine. For home use its smart to have a dedicated set just for your bathroom, that way you don't accidentally wipe something off with a toilet sponge/cloth.
Thank you for your compassion and kindness. I loved the teaching in this video. I cannot use a lot of products because I am sensitive to many odors and they trigger my asthma. It is amazing to me how well dish soap works for so many things. And, I have discovered that, for me, wearing a mask while I clean is a big help in avoiding an asthma attack. Thank you!
I'm always really thankful the way you approach messes. Growing up, I was always shamed for when my cleaning fell behind, but reframing it the way you do has actually helped me keep my home cleaner as an adult because it's less shameful and more like a fun game to see how clean I can get it.
I used to not care how my home looked, my boyfriend and I are now living together and he has OCD, so now I have to cleen up after myself. I'm better now, after 4 years of living together, I have depression that is why my home was always messy. Now that I clean up after myself and us keeping our house clean my mental health improved a lot. I love watching your videos because I know I was in that place once, and I'm so grateful for my boyfriend helping me through it like you help people with their homes.
Mess, dirt, and clutter really can bring anybody down! It can be so stressful. I always feel better, accomplished, after cleaning and things are in better order. I have learned w three kids to not underestimate clutter!
You are a real inspiration. I love your way of cleaning, declutter things and finally achieve a nice clean space to live in. You know I've sort of lost my mind and am really struggling to get my home in shape. I haven't known how it is to deep clean an entire home. I think, I plan but fail to execute completely and end up with a unclean space. I'm not a person who would leave a space like this. But I just couldn't prove myself. But I'd definitely say your videos are slowly uplifting my spirits. I would definitely share my final results when I'm done setting up my home.
Just do one room at a time. Once an area is clean, keep it clean, and eventually you will be done. The next time you do spring cleaning, there won't be as much hard work to do.
I find the hardest part is getting started. so I "trick" myself by saying, you only have to clean 1 thing. make it a small thing like a microwave or sweeping the floor. I find once I get started, my motivation kicks in and I do way more than that.
Вы молодец!!! Делаете важное дело и очень хорошо!!! Но не забывайте и о своей безопасности!!! Одевайте маску или респиратор для защиты дыхательных путей от пыли и спор плесени. Это попадает в лёгкие и может вызвать неприятные последствия! А такую "бородатую" пыль лучше пылесосом чистить, не будет разлетаться!!! Берегите себя !!!💕
If someone said to me you can only follow one account, out of the hundreds I follow across all social media platforms, I would choose to follow Auri. Love 💕 you so much. Thank you, Auri. You truly are amazing.
These videos are my motivation. It’s currently 22:47pm in the UK. I’ve just blitzed my bedroom, apart from hoovering obv, and I feel so much better! Thank you, Auri! 🥰
So tired and disgusted with the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Aurakatariina is the real star! Working hard and getting things done, while being beautiful and glamourous.
I always found it odd that you use dishwasher in so many places but recently I’ve been trying to clean a window in my house that has not been washed in probably 3-4 years and the dust just wouldn’t come off. So I used dishwasher and it worked! It’s so much cleaner now and it looks white when before it was grey, I was shocked! Thank you for showing us your tips, they do help!
The tip about folding the microfiber towel is a really great time saver. I can't believe how much time I could save rinsing and ringing out my towels between wipes.
Your videos make me feel less embarrassed about the state my house was in! I've been working on it recently and using some of your hacks it's so much better!!! 🥰
So many people live in these types of conditions. You do such a great job giving people clean spaces to start over. I don't know, for me a good vacuum cleaner with a good filter will suck up that dust. Sometimes cleaning with a duster or rag just disturbs it and it flies everywhere. You channel is very encouraging.
Thanks for that microfiber trick! I wish we could see your smiling face more in the videos! Part of the joy is seeing you smile right before a big room clean, and when you film behind the camera all the time, it's not the same😁
so satisfying to watch, and very informational! also, im sure this home owner was incredibly thankful. professional cleaners truly are miracle workers for people who struggle with upkeep.
Question: Do you need to periodically replace or sharpen the scraper? I have really hard water and my bathtub and toilet quickly build up thick, tough scale. I scrape it off with safety razor blades to avoid using harsh chemical cleaners like "CLR" or "Kaboom" as much as possible. The blades are flexible, so that I can scrape at an angle without damaging the surface, as you said. However, the blades get pretty dull quickly. I basically burn through one per cleaning session. Maybe your scraper is a bit thicker so that it's not a problem? ___________________ Also, thanks for all you do! I have ADHD and depression, which means dirt piles up and then it becomes too overwhelming to tackle, so I shut down mentally, which just leads to more filth! The way you break down an area into tasks and provide straightforward instructions is really great! It can help break the cycle and make cleaning my home manageable again. I know it's "common sense" to break down big projects into smaller tasks, but for those of us with this issue, it can be hard to know where to start without guidance like yours. ____________________ I would suggest to others with ADHD that when you leave a cleaning product on a surface to soak, make sure to set a timer! If you don't, you may get distracted and forget you were soaking it. I've lost count of how many times I've done that, myself. With a timer, you don't have to worry about the product drying or damaging the surface because you forgot it. Otherwise you're just making more work for yourself!
When my grandma died, she left her house for her four children and 10 grandchildren to clean. She had a large country mansion and we’re a family of hoarders so it took all of us to first remove all our crap and then get to work on hers. There was so much dust! I was around 16 at the time and I remember I was wheezing a lot because I was breathing it all in. The problem was, we couldn’t just throw all her stuff out because a) she was a scientist who did a lot of research on phycology and the way children think, learn and develop so there were a lot of files that had to be looked through to see whether or not they were important, she had three studies full of files so it took a long time, and b) a lot of her things held sentimental value - what did I say about being a family of hoarders - like the letters her husband sent to her while he was away on his trip around the world. The kitchen was one of the worst things (especially the larder). I’m not sure how to explain it so I’ll give you an example: she had a small cottage in Scotland and when we were there for Easter, she found a packet of prunes from 1986 (this was 2017) and she cooked and ate them. So basically, there was a lot of old food in her larder. Because she lived alone and was 84 when she died, she couldn’t really get around to cleaning everything so there was about 50 years of dust and dirt. It wasn’t awful as my aunt came weekly to clean, but it was still not great - especially when we started doing the sorting which was a year after she died so the house had been empty all that time Your tips would have been so useful!
The people living in such a mess have mental issues and real problems going on. I can feel the pain and suffering. Thanks for helping them. Also thanks to the companies paying Aurikatariina helping others and getting not only fullfillment and purpose.
@@peztopher7297 I hear you, sadly. As a taxpayer in the USA I wish my money went towards preventing homes around me from being a biohazard, or the yard from being a haven for ticks/snakes/hornets etc. It's never just the resident's problem, it becomes an ongoing problem for the community around them and then the problem of the next person to own the home. There are so many homes that need to be torn down or completely remodeled, not because they couldn't last, but because they're neglected and there was no community service to prevent it from becoming that bad. Who benefits from that? Why would I want half or more of my neighborhood to be falling down? Americans are selfish and not even in a self-serving way...
i love watching your videos as someone who suffers from depression and i have trouble cleaning my room, watching your videos give me inspiration and motivation to clean it. also i do really need to clean my room since i’m getting a shy cat! lol
This is your first video I’ve seen. As someone with multiple health conditions, including having to rest most days for hours a day, I wanted to thank you for your positive attitude and kindness. It’s very easy to talk down to oneself- telling yourself how useless you are if you can’t keep up with “the basics” - and your attitude helps to provide a different perspective. What I learned here is that the backlog of chores is not a guilty judgment in a court of law with a life sentence, it’s just stuff to be cleaned. 🤷♀️ And they way you approached the cleaning by being matter-of-fact and not overly reactive to any of it makes it easier to remove emotional baggage and just see the cleaning as a task. And by giving simple instructions using a minimal variety of products, you make it seem achievable. Thank you! New subscriber!
Hi Aurikatariina, just wanted to let you know that "flush" can also mean "rinse" in English, so you were right the first time. Love your videos, I'm finally getting my house clean after neglecting it for far too long!
Love your content Auri. Your so sweet to help these people. You always get everything so nice and clean when you think it’s impossible to get it clean. You get it clean. Love it!!!
I absolutely love your videos. I love watching people clean but I have a short attention span so you’re videos are perfect because your talking keeps me more focused
How many mommy/daddy scrubs do you go through average per client apartment? I am addicted. Thank you for all of your helpful videos jam packed with tips and inspiration to keep my apartment squeaky clean and help my friends with theirs's as well.
I had candle wax on my favorite mirror for the past 2 years and I NEVER thought to use a scraper! Thanks to you I used it and it came off instantly! 🥰❤️ And yes.. I feel a little dumb lol 🤦♀️
Hi Aurikatariina! I smiled at hearing your joy of having such a challenge! Yes, we could definitely see the smell! I would have had to disinfect that sink so many times! I probably would have thrown away a lot and replaced things. All the money on how much disinfectant, bleach, cleaners, rags! I need clean fresh rags, lots of them! Especially with kitchen hygiene! Would be just as economical and less time consumed! I get so turned off grossness on any kitchen items! It would be fun to have a friend like you! Our topics would be in common! Thanks for your encouraging video!
Самое главное, что я вынесла из опыта автора канала - что в целом средства для чистки различаются только по времени, за которое они начнут действовать - от мягкого средства для мытья посуды до жестких средств для духовки. И что не стоит бояться грязи, это ей стоит бояться меня хд Очень полезный канал!
I love that she uses just a few tried and true products. She doesn't use 50 different products and keeps it super simple. If you have a scrub daddy, dish soap, and power paste you can conquer the world.
Yes! It irritates me a lot that some people use a million of things to clean a single thing! Or mix a ton of products inside a toilet
@@camilamontalvan6735 It drives me CRAZY when people do that “overload” crap in their toilets, it’s a huge waste of cleaning products and is actually really dangerous mix all of those together. They don’t even realize that could be a deadly mistake! There’s no reason to do it 🙄
and OVEN CLEANER!
Yes now we just need some chlorine and we good
@@carolinegichia1687 Can't forget that oven cleaner.
I love how Aurikatariina is not grossed out, but is always so positive. We need more good people like her in this world!
totally!
No we don’t need people like her, we need to be her!
The reason why people are afraid to ask for help is all the judgment they’ll receive from most people. If more people were understanding, it’d make things a lot better in life. I see people be so compassionate and empathetic towards animals but not towards fellow human beings.
@@sweetluvgurl Ik that’s very true!
Me too. I hate cleaning and wouldn't in the world understand someone getting excited and happy about a house like this, to me it'd be a nightmare that'd give me anxiety. She's helping me change my perspective and being more willing to clean my own house. I try not to make a mess first so that I don't have to clean too much, but I do have dust at home often and it can get a bit cluttered (never remotely near the extent of the houses in these video and never with food residuals, which would make me sick). My house is old with stuff from my deceased grandparents and mother, so removing things is harder for me psychologically. Some dirt in the kitcken has been sitting for years during the time we didn't live in the house so now it's really hard to remove and would just need renovating the whole thing, but I don't have the money to do it. Seeing her is inspiring. I did a big clean-up of my living room yesterday and I while doing it I was thinking of her haha. It looks lovely now :)
as someone who struggles with bad depression and my room has looked similar to this before, thanks for being so kind in the way you speak. nothing hurts more than being unable to keep clean and being ridiculed and degraded for it.
I agree. How are you doing and feeling now? ❤️
@@MelissaK-lh4ig life has its ups and downs, but i’m doing better than i ever have before. thanks for asking, considering i’m just a stranger on the internet !! :3

Cleaning tip: Always clean top to bottom. Dirt falls downward so don't start low or you'll clean (such as the floors) twice.
Yes I noticed that also Auri seems to do it often times but I think she does that because she also filming for tiktok maybe?
idk i go back and forth between starting high or low, depending. i do low first if i need to be able to walk
I noticed that too, like she’ll clean the kitchen sink but then has to dump a bunch of stuff in it. I guess if it’s not too much of an issue for her it’s ok!
Works for an empty house.
If it's anything like cleaning a car then you clean from bottom to top, so the dirt doesn't stick as you're washing. It looks like it's more work but it's actually faster.
She out here saving people's dignity with her energy and respect.
Well said. Agree 100%
Saving their dignity by showing the video to millions of people online
@@BonnieTheBunny20 it’s called shedding some light on mental health issues. What are YOU doing ? Oh yeah, that’s right, nothing.
@fozzie1599 they know she's going to record and post it, or they never would have asked her.
what resspeckt ? and what energi hear scream energi i think she should just shut upp and boom her followers will come and help her oh wait what followers am i talking about she got none she dosent evenhave anything
I just love this girl's attitude and willingness to donate so much personal time and HARD work in a filthy environment to help people. Not everything can be solved with money.
How does she not have pimples and rashes after being exposed to so much dirt and grime? She even breathed in all that dust that fell on her. How?! I get blemishes if I did the same thing, and that's even when i have long deep-clean shower immediately after. I would need a hazmat suit to clean such a dirty space.
@@ayeshak6822 dirt and grime dont give pimples or rashes,only chemicals that are dissolved to the blood stream,all the utensils she uses are safe for the human body to breathe,obviously not on large ammounts but still,if dirt and grime gave rashes and blemishes,everyone would have them
(simple anatomy lesson incoming)
if she was to breathe dust she would start sneezing,thats the noses defense mechanism to when particles that arent going in deep into the nose canal to get out,simple,it also happens to everyone who cleans the slightest bit of dust.
I am a diagnosis hoarder, and it's always heartwarming to see cleaning videos that don't degrade and humiliate others who are struggling.
I appreciate that so much too. Of course it’s shocking and sometimes gross seeing some kinds of messes like something really moldy, but I love that she doesn’t badly about the house owner. People in these situations feel immense guilt and shame and don’t need to be reminded that it’s gross. Instead she says how excited she is to clean it up!
We all have struggles. I don’t run-down someone because their struggle is different from my own. I like this lady’s positive attitude. A little over the top. But I like that too!!
@@oneman6804 wow you cured them 😐
@@oneman6804 a hoarder doesn’t want to keep all that stuff. It’s not a decision problem.
@@oneman6804 What about people who were neglected or ignored as kids and cannot help the fact they were never taught self control? Some people don’t make the decision to be a hoarder, they were just never taught those life skills. I understand what you’re saying though, it is their decision whether to work on the problem or not, but it’s not their decision to become a hoarder every time. I know someone who has been through trauma and lost their spouse and now has become a hoarder, is it her fault she isn’t working on it? Yes. But is it her fault she was not taught these skills and has been through those experiences? No.
I never realized there were so many people who lived like this.
She certainly never runs out of content to film.
I find these cleaning videos to be very inspirational.
I love learning new cleaning tips and tricks.
It’s fun to start cleaning by telling myself I must first collect all the trashes. Lol
Heh lol same
As someone who has worked in cleaning. A lot more people live like this that you'd expect. And they're often the best clients since they're the most grateful.
I do the same! I always think to myself, she said we need to start with the trashes!
Mental health lot off this
@@mareezy I love it when she says that too! 😻
I’m a student mental health nurse and recommend you to all my patients who aren’t able to keep their homes clean just to normalise it and MAYBE find a little bit of motivation to clean just one item or space in their home! Your kindness is like a domino effect
One thing at a time is what I taught my kids when they were little. One area or one item cleaned first then the next. It works for those who have issues with attention.
Positivity follows positivity
THIS is NOT normal!
@@molliemae6855 It is for pople with certain mental health conditions or pshysical problems. Shaming them will make them keep it quiet and not look for help.
@@palomitapalomita7866 I have mental health problems as much as the next person but this is beyond that!
I just started dating someone whose home looks like some of the ones you clean. I helped them start decluttering and cleaning the kitchen today... Baby steps. I channeled my inner Auriikatariina to give me strength! Thank you so much, your videos help me approach cleaning in a different mindset.
You are doing something wonderful for them. Best of luck!
Wow, the fact that you chose to continue with them although you only just started dating is moving.
I'm living in this mess at the moment and can't even imagine talking to people let alone dating 😖😖
Bless you for helping them and not just being grossed out, a lot of people deal with a lot of things, physical or mental, that make everyday tasks like cleaning impossible ❤️
I dated a guy like that about eight years ago. I thought helping him clean up would inspire him but it did not. we did not live close to each other, so I only saw him every couple weeks and I would clean up his house and go back two weeks later and it would be in the same state. Accept that you are always going to be the cleaner and that they are not going to change. If you think he is going to change then you’re starting off on the wrong foot.
@@joygernautm6641 As someone who struggled with depression (sometimes still do) I agree with you. Although it doesn't mean they're taking advantage of you or taking you for granted, it just means they're probably still not in a healing place.
Thank you anyways for trying my dear 💕
There are many reasons why I love this channel so much.
1. it's satisfying (y'all can't deny that)
2. She actually uses GLOVES unlike some others on RUclips.
3. She does not over do it with the products (some people do and i worry about their well being)
4. She has fun and is helping people which adds to her selfless nature that I admire
5. This channel is very educational and I've learned a lot about cleaning as a result.
This channel is so wholesome and I just love it. ❤️
Exactly!
yes i agree! she is so kind!
I just noticed your profile picture and it is so cute - from a fellow pansexual
Also she is cleaning something that is dirty, not going over a clean counter top... (hinch) the part I struggle with is finding the motivation to start, watching these videos helps to see how much of a difference cleaning can be.
adding that she is so so kind!! always respecting the people who own the places she cleans :)
Except the part where she wiped that crap off the counter without gloves. 🤢
as soon as i heard the homeowner was using a walker, i imagined a disabled or old person not being able to clean by themselves and having nobody to help them and then i teared up. it's lovely how you help people❤
You are the reason I now have scrub daddy products in my house. Power paste, scrub daddy, scrub mommy, and the dish wand. It took years for me to finally buy some and now I always have them.
Me too . Just had to try them.
Same!! And I gift them to friends too, lol!!
@@lady_kikilee they are good?
@@geriostube9959 I love the Scrub mommy! And I’ve tried many sponges before. I’m planning to get the other supplies but since her RUclips blew up it’s hard to find in my area.
Same here! It took me like 3 weeks to use the scrub daddy because I didn't want to make it dirty haha. The cute smiley face made it hard
Auri, I am a housekeeper at a veteran facility and have been using your tips and tricks when I clean and I have been getting so much praise for how amazing everything looks. Thank you!! ❤️
Thank YOU for doing the work you do, too ❤️imagine what the world might be like if we all were more compassionate and caring like you and Auri, including toward ourselves.
Hi! You are a wonderful person to help those people ❤️ ♥️ 😊
Honestly seeing you tackle almost everything with just dish soap makes it feel like it’s possible for me to get up and clean
I remember one video when Auri talked about how much her back hurt after cleaning, which I think is great. So many cleanfluencers try to make it look like this level of work is effortless, but it takes hours and it's hard! Don't get discouraged if you need to take breaks or spread out cleaning over time.
I agree! I spread my deep cleaning out over a few days, it's exhausting and the back ache is unreal, it amazes me how much she can do!
Yes
yesss. i have chronic pain and a broken tailbone (and was recently in a car accident), i can do maybe 5-15 minute bursts, but my mom stopped by the other day and did it all within 45 minutes 😅 i almost cried when i got home today
Jess B For real! It’s like a workout, especially if you’re cleaning a house this bad. You’re standing all day, using your arms so much, and can be bent over for a long time. It’s important to do it in reasonable steps!
In a video she mentioned she did a lot of physical labor by cleaning houses full time. It's just exhausting but so satisfying to clean the house for me = v=
As someone who deals with on and off depressive episodes this videos have changed my life! I love cleaning along side you. Keep up these videos. We need more people like you.
Same. Whenever I watch her videos after I had some bad days, I'm like: "Alright girl, don't let it get bad. Get to clearing the counters, it'll only take a few minutes. If Aurikatariina can clean things that are that dirty, so can you!" And the dish soap tip is truly a godsend. Before I never truly knew where to start!
Dude she's a really talented cleaner too I have to say
Love your videos. How do i clean dirty old bathtub?
@@connieandersen9023 my grandma taught me to use oven cleaner! It tackles the grease that stains the bathtub. Spray on the whole surface and leave on for an hour or two. Then take your trusty scrubber and see the magic after you rinse! If the stains are particularly bad sometimes it takes two rounds. Bon chanse!
same! When I feel overwhelmed, and don't know where to start, I ear the little voice "first collect the trashes" and it's actually helping me to get back on track.
I love how real she is.
She says things like it stinks, it's dirty, it's dusty etc. She doesn't pretend like it's not like others
i mean, its really unnecessary tbf. you can see that its dirty with your eyes, it doesn’t need to be expressed.
I’m so jealous of these homes that have all these drains in the floors - It would be so awesome to be able to spray wash the bathrooms & kitchen 🥰
Those rooms can't have electric outlets..so no curling iron or hair dryer
@@thesaltycrone9237 Yes... they can, thats how most of places works
I ALWAYS say the same 😅. I’m in the US, seems other countries gave more thought to cleaning, esp bathrooms! I’d love to scrub everything and rinse it down! 😍
Move to finland smh

Some tips for fellow people with depression:
1) identity some small things that make an important difference to you - eg, I'm usually barefoot, so having nice floors means a lot to me. I use specific mugs for specific purposes, so I like keeping those clean.
2) set up something that you'd like to do - make yourself a hot drink and maybe set up a video that you want to watch, put aside a book you're reading, whatever works.
3) do only enough cleaning for 10-15 minutes to achieve those important things for you. I vacuum the main traffic areas in my flat, and at least wash the cups I use daily and the bowl I usually use for dinner. Sometimes dishes are left, and I know I'm not getting all the dust and bits off the floor, but I'm getting the Important Stuff.
4) usually the hot drink I've made has cooled enough to drink by this point, but is still nicely warm. I can immediately settle into the thing I was looking forward to as a reward and way to relax.
5) if you feel like doing a little extra (finishing the dishes, moving things to vacuum more thoroughly, folding your shirts as well as your socks, etc), gently let yourself do them so long as it won't use up your energy reserves for the rest of your Important Stuff tasks. Reward yourself extra if you manage this, if you feel like, but always give yourself a reward regardless, no matter how 'little' you've gotten done.
Small things always, always add up and make a difference. The 'little' things that you've managed to do are exhausting, but they'll take a big weight off your shoulders. We can do it. 💚;
Thank you, Selkie

Auri, I'm from Brazil and I'm addicted to your videos. You made me see cleaning as something satisfying and fun. I live with psychological problems since I was 14 years old (now I'm 22), and my mom died from Covid in 2020 so I started living by myself. It has been quite impossible to let the house clean, and as soon as I started watching your videos, I started cleaning everything around here. I'm grateful to you!!!

I'm struggling so hard today with my depression and really trying to get up and clean. I atleast got up and showered and brushed my teeth so I call that a win! Watching your channel sorta helps me get the motivation
hey bestie, i'm very proud of you for showering and brushing your teeth! im doing a lot better now, but ive been in real bad places mentally and my bedroom has gotten real bad as a result, not quite to the level of these videos, but damn close (which is part of the reason i love this channel so much, she's so helpful to people ive been very similar to) so i wanted to share a little thing that helped me. i would get super overwhelmed, and i wouldn't know where to start and so it would get worse and i'd get more overwhelmed, but i eventually figured out a little checklist so i would know where to start. the checklist was, laundry, dishes, and rubbish. i'd take dishes to the kitchen, throw laundry in the bathtub or make a pile just outside my room, and get a garbage bag for all the rubbish. please don't focus too much on how much you have to do, trying to get yourself to clean 24/7 and not being able to is really draining, so for just a few days, don't have any intention to clean anything. just let yourself relax. then, plan to do one small task, like get the dishes out of your room, or just wash your spoons, then take a break the next day and spend your relaxing time thinking of another small task you won't exhaust yourself doing the next day. it is so so important to remember to relax without thinking about doing anything else. good luck, i'm rooting for you :)
Hope you've been keeping well 🎊🎊🎊
You’re doing great! You are the most important ❤
one day at a time, but you need to make something happen every day. and cleaning is actually SO therapeutic.

I’ve seen House Hunters in Germany and there you can literally take your kitchen with you when you move. Counters, cabinets, everything can be removable. It’d be awesome if someone just remodeled their kitchen then had to move for some reason.
It's amazing that you share all the cleaning techniques with the viewers. Please do this for each video, it is extremely useful. Thank you for helping the people who are no longer able to clean, you are genuinely their saving angel.
I love how nice and kind you are to clean peoples houses no cost or anything you want the best for the people
Someone like Auri should be a politician. With her positive, kind nature, I would vote for her in a heartbeat 💓
It amazes me, how she doesnt get to disgusted. I mean, I get disgusted by my own dirt (I have lived awfully), but someone else's dirt is a whole other level. Respect to that!
Aurikateriina is SO kind, but now she has so many views, she is okay.
Other yters that show earnings, say that 1,000,000 views equals roughly $10,000.
100,000 views, $1000.
Plus sponsorship for cleaning products. I think you can also earn off fb, and other hosts.
She is so kind and positive, but now she is okay. Should be very comfortable.
I have multiple disabilities and cleaning is so so difficult for me, I’m bed bound a lot of the time and it feels very sad to be stuck living in filth. Thank you for all you do, it really means a lot. You have no idea how big a difference it truly makes, especially to us with limitations or health issues
Yeh it really sucks :(
The only thing worse than living in dirt though, is when people with a peachy life say you're just lazy and that you shouldn't use health problems 'as an excuse'
I'm sure there are people in the world who are just lazy and don't care, but mostly at the very least it's down to depression, even if they don't have any physical health problems preventing them from cleaning.
I have met a couple of people who genuinely just believed things like 'toilets are supposed to have shit stains' 😕
I find that's a good way to determine actual problems from those who are simply lazy or gross - the lazy/gross ones don't give a toss, those genuinely struggling don't want to he like that but struggle to fix it :(
Aurikatariina, you're such a positive force on this planet. You've found a business model that allows you to clean other people's houses for free, without exploiting or dehumanising them like other online or reality content. You're able to integrate sponsorships that genuinely teach people how to clean properly too. I remember the judgement from my parents, and sadness at things getting dirty when I'd give up and say "I guess that pot is ruined now". But now, I respect that it's a practise and expertise, and can use your so well timestamped video to teach myself too. This is environmentally friendly cause now, people won't give up and throw things away - they can make them like new. I can't believe you've properly subtitled the video as well, rather than rely on auto translate for those with accessibility needs (who are often going to be more vulnerable to letting their homes get like this with all of life's pressures!). So, not only is your method genius, but you're making the world a better place. Thank you. :)
I was so frustrated that she wasn't cleaning all the dirt on the counter, until i realized, it was actually on my phone from when my kid last had it. 🤣🤣🤣 in conclusion 10/10 video!!! 🥰😍🥰
🤣🤣🤣
The Crotingers That's funny and I'm glad you gave her a score of ten! ☺
I just love you!!!! You never talk negative about messes or your client/friend. The worse the mess, the happier you are! Thank you for such a positive, kind and generous model for the world to see. You are awesome!!!
Thank you for this video. My mom was a borderline hoarder and I was never taught how to clean properly so this was helpful.
I found that when my depression flares up, my hoarding tendencies come out. (I don't have bags of trash or tons of fast food cups in my house, but things don't get put away properly) My grown daughter and I had a discussion about her upbringing and how hard it is to learn good cleaning habits when they weren't taught.
@Lily The Pink It's a really good sign that you have empathy for your precious son though and it's not too late for him to learn, unless he doesn't want to!
Have you apologised and talked about it with him? I realise that it's not easy, yet I really admire people, especially parents, who can do so.
I won't go into details about my situation, except to mention that I caused issues for my daughter, hence why I'm mentioning it. 💞
My apartment gets awful because of depression/anxiety and apparently I'm also on the high functioning side of the autism spectrum?? So it's really hard for me to clean when it gets this way because it just becomes so overwhelming. I love watching these videos because it shows you that even if you tackle a small section you can physically see how much progress it is and a lot of the times it doesn't take too long? I think the problem for me is just getting started and jumping in so I'm really thankful for videos like these because they motivate me to get going.
I have the same problem with getting started so I learned this one technique to "trick" myself into cleaning. I tell myself I only have to clean 1 thing (usually a small thing like microwave or sweep one room). once I get started I love seeing the result that I then feel motivated to keep going! I hardly ever only clean the 1 thing and often clean a whole room or even my whole house without realizing it
@@nottheone582 yeah exactly! It's like, if you pick a small corner or one small area or thing to clean then you get yourself started which is great! I also found that when I worked on my motivation/energy through therapy and now that I'm in a better place, I'm having such an easy time being motivated to clean
when im in depressive episodes i force myself to clean (doing the dishes, cleaning up the living room, gathering up and taking the trash out) and when im manic i normally deep clean my whole house 😭 there is no in between sadly
I’m thinking about this for my autistic son. Maybe a list of exactly what to do and where to start might help. Then you can see the steps and not the whole mess. I have ADHD (okay maybe autism too) and I know how hard it is to get started.
@@pluckysongs I had to leave my apartment for a few days and I came back and the fruit flies are garbage is so overwhelming that I'm just crying. I've been crying for hours trying to get myself to get out of bed to clean something, anything, take out the trash or set up fly traps but I feel so overwhelmed I can't move. I want more than anything for one of my parents to come just sit with me and help me but my mom is extremely judgemental and my dad is busy at work. If you can help your son... Please just he with him and let him know that it's going to be okay and to clean together slowly. Put on music, and just have fun together... I feel like that's the only way some days when it's too overwhelming. I feel so isolated because I have no one to ask to help me right now, my partner is at work and she's also so tired and stressed that I feel this is my one job I need to do right now.
I just tried your oven cleaner and plastic wrap method and a scraper to clean the glass oven window. IT WORKED!! IT WAS SUPER FAST!!! I will NEVER doubt your methods again!!! My daughter and I are in the midst of spring cleaning and decluttering and organizing.
I can’t believe she saved that coffee pot…miracle worker
When I was a teen, I struggled heavily with depression and couldn't keep my room (or anything else) clean for the life of me. It caused many conflicts between my mother and I, because she wanted her house (including my room) to be clean and I didn't have the energy, oversight or know-how to do it. It caused so many fights that I eventually went to live with my dad because our relationship deteriorated so badly. For years, I felt like a horrible, dirty person for getting stressed out at the concept of cleaning. Through your videos, I'm learning how to do it from a place of non-judgement and fun, and life is so much better! I'm still battling depression, but I can get my spaces clean much faster now that I know how to apply a system to it, and my mother and I are talking again. Thank you so much for these wonderful and educational videos!!
I cleaned my grandfathers house this past weekend. It was in this condition. So satisfying! I used all your tips. ☺️
I started watching your videos and now I'm obsessed!!! I love all your tips. I used oven cleaner for my shower and filthy soap scum shower doors. It Was AMAZING 👏 . THANK YOU. THANK YOU. A MILLION. I have a good tip for you. If you have blood, urine any kind of body fluid soak it with peroxide takes it right out. Keep on making your wonderful videos. You're so kind that you do this for free. Bless you
Your videos have taught me how to actually clean! I used to get frustrated that cleaning always took so much time and elbow grease, and then still left little bits afterwards. Like a loosing battle. But now I know the right way to clean, I've been systematically deep cleaning and organising section by section of my house over the last few weeks of watching your videos. And the miracle is- It stays clean now! Because it's *actually* clean, instead of *surface level* clean. I also love you attitude and giving nature. Thank you for helping me!
Just admit it. Once you watch one of her videos, you can’t stop.
its true lmao-
I love how she makes a heart out of the dish soap every time
The Energy she gives off of this channel is amazing! It's really lovely seeing you go around cleaning people's homes.
Hey Lewok,
Why not explore why such cluttering is becoming a serious problem? Checkout the video titled Hoarders VS Homeless, it was quite useful to addreds the psychological aspect behind all this filth
I know! I love her energy. so positive. cleaning can be fun if you have the right attitude
Yes, iagree, it is really nice, important to our☀️🌸🌺
I was recently motivated to clean one of the dirtiest corners in our house. I used all the tips you give in your videos and... well... it worked, but the moment when you apply water and dish soap on a heavily moldy floor, let it sit, and then use a scraper, and then STILL nothing comes off... you know that place has been neglected for YEARS - in our case for about 15 years, basically nobody touched it for about that long, maybe even longer. I eventually managed to clean at least most of it and i am so glad that your videos continue to motivate me to do this. Mainly since both of my parents are older and don't feel like cleaning or sorting out anything in the house as it is so old, filthy and just falling apart everywhere. Even cleaning it will never save it, but it makes it at least more bearable. Thank you ♥
edit: you also might think using chlorine would help in my case and i agree it might, but i don't think we have any around so i went with what i had ;u;
You’re so kind to do that for your parents 🥺 It sounds like you did a great job! I can only imagine how satisfying it was to look at the finished clean space that you put so much time and elbow grease into
Would try a 1/3 bleach with 2/3 water mix, and scrub with a hard bristled brush. I had a wall in my rental flat that had bad structural/damp issues, and this combination got the mold off
@@soysprouts thank you mia ;u; these videos from Auri really motivate me to do this a lot. Also other content creators that go into minimalism and zero waste stuff.
We have like this HUUUGE pile of pickled foods... i would say over 50 jars at least and they are all over 30 years old. I am 100% sure nobody would ever want to eat those.
Anyway enough bragging lol it always makes me feel good being able to see the space around me cleaner and better sorted. I can't wait to eventually save up enough to get into buying new stuff like new cabinets and such, since most of them are broken due to being overweight with "bs" and mold. ♥
@@Athruna yea might have to give that a try that, thank you! ♥ There are MANY walls in this house legit covered with black thick mold. Auri would be like "oh my god this is beautiful" hahaha
@@erikherinek Dear Erik, with mould, you should use a mask. Mould and fungus can make you very ill, breathing in. As well with chlorine and bleach - AND NEVER MIX CLEANING SOLUTIONS. Certainly not chlorine and bleach, which are already dangerous. Some react together and give off really dangerous gases.
With bad smell, rub a bit of eucalyptus oil under nose, or peppermint oil. That will make things easier. And if you eat some ginger, and maybe put some ginger oil under nose, I know there is a study that shows if you eat ginger, you are less likely to puke or feel nausea..
Why not try spraying mouldy walls with eucalyptus oil? If you put eucalyptus oil on windows, and buff it, it really helps prevent mould on glass. So if your walls ARE ALREADY awful and wrecked, maybe concentrate on stopping mould?
Also, a FANTASTIC eco friendly mould and fungal killer, is a steam cleaner. But it doesn't inhibit regrowth, if new spores fall.
Euc oil will.
Wear a mask too, you don't want to be breathing in a toxic amount of dust! Very satisfying cleaning. 💖
I cosign ☝️
Yes! I worry about when she dusts an deals with mold while not wearing a mask.
@@BloodSweatandFears it builds up
What about gloves - eek!

These are the homes I loved to clean when I was working. Having a regular weekly residential job is great for income purposes. But nothing hits the same as a home that actually needs you. You make me miss my work 😊
I felt the same back when I cleaned hotel rooms. While of course I am grateful that most guests make cleaning easy, when I would open the door to a tough clean up the first thought was always 'ohhh... interesting!'
Cleaning the houses that are already clean is the worst, I always looked for every speck of dust and it took me twice as long to clean as a normal or dirty house 💀😂
Tip of the day : for dust on the wall : put an old sock with little bit if water on the duster..no more snowy dust 🙂
the time and detail she puts into her cleaning is so sweet. you can tell she really enjoys cleaning and helping others.
I am from Canada wish we had drains on the bathroom floor and shower heads that allowed us to spray down the bathroom like you do here it would be so much easier. I know if ever I get to construct my own house these things I will definitely include in my design!
I have that thought every time! I wonder why it’s not the norm in N. America…
Yup! Same here in the states 😂 it makes so much more sense!
In our house (the Netherlands) we have a walk-in shower and a long ass extend-o cord on one of the shower heads (the other one is a rain shower). The floor is eeeever so slightly inclined (Like, you don't even notice the incline unless you've got one of those balance stick things on the floor) in just the right way that the water will naturally flow down to the drain in the shower.
Explaining exactly how it drains took 3 paragraphs so instead I made a little map lmfao, the line that goes horizontally across is the shower wall and the / is the door. So the bottom right corner is the highest spot in the room. Was making the map necessary? No. Did I like doing it? Yes. So. Uh. Deal with it I guess? Idk
I hope it works on PC lmao

Same in Germany (at least all the apartments I have lived in). That would a huge improvement.
When I visited Europe I saw this & loved this design. Everytime I clean off my toilet I wish I had a floor drain
You know what would be cool - an update of the homes you’ve already cleaned. You know to see how they are dealing and are able to keep the house clean :)
Thank you for your work! ^^
No. That would be too much pressure on those people. Probably would make many hesitant to reach out. It's difficult to ask for help in the first place. With added preassue of having to keep up and be judged for it? Too hard.
I don't think I've ever seen someone so excited to see a horrifyingly unkept kitchen. She's having so much fun and it makes this way more watchable than if it was just music
Honestly, my second favorite thing after watching cleanings, is Auri's accent and pronunciation❤ Idc if it's "nOt PrOpEr", it's just SO ADORABLE
“It was like lovely dust rain” ☺️
Oh yes, and she should not feel bad about it or try to hide it, because it is part of her personality that I would miss otherwise.
For a few minutes I was wondering what coffeeool is, then I realised she is saying coffeoil, lmao.
Agreed - Jiterdent sounds nicer than detergent!
Her lovely way of speaking adds to her charm. Love it 💓
Auri - If you need to remove stains out of vases or narrow pieces drop in a denture tablet and let it sit. Works like
magic and it’s inexpensive! Try it🤗
Love how respectful you are despite the mess, as someone with depression, it helps a lot when watching your video while cleaning as well and is encouraging
I have a terrible dust allergy and just started to watching this video makes my allergy want to show up. 😁 I think was a great challenge to clean all the things in this house.
Hello how are you doing?
Me too! I couldn’t have cleaned in there without a mask.
I love that you used chlorine in this video. Here in Brazil we use it for cleaning basically in everything, specially for bathrooms!
Hi is that the same as bleach ty
Yes
In Greece too!We love to use gel chlorine with hot water everywhere.I also work in the amfitheater of a hospital as a videographer and during the covid pandemic the instructions were to use chlorine even upon the desks...
Any tips on how to use it? I only use it when washing whites
@@ig3815 I think so! You have to check the components
Those pink boots are so cute! And the cleaning is strangely mesmerizing to watch.
Do you just rinse the cloth after it’s dirty? Or throw it into the washing machine after one time use? Also, how many cloths and sponges do you usually go through when cleaning these homes? After how many uses should you throw away sponges?
Scrub dadies can be tossed into. Dish washer so you can reuse it alot
@@WariorMaidofRedwall thanks
I'm not Auri but I hope this helps: Rinsing the microfiber cloth is a good idea, it leaves less gunk in the washing machine. If you only have a limited amount of them, leaving them in soapy water in-between rooms/uses makes them clean enough to wipe surfaces again. Do not use them for anything else after the bathroom/toilet though!
You usually do that last.
When a sponge gets brittle you should toss it out, you can usually tell by the fading color and it not puffing up so much anymore when it dries. They also tend to get thinner since the material wears down :) Soak sponges in hot water and antibacterial cleaner after use and let it completely dry. Some can be thrown into the washing machine.
For home use its smart to have a dedicated set just for your bathroom, that way you don't accidentally wipe something off with a toilet sponge/cloth.
@@fuchsfarben thanks!
@@fuchsfarben I leave my bathroom sponge right there.... no confusion that way :)
Thank you for your compassion and kindness.
I loved the teaching in this video.
I cannot use a lot of products because I am sensitive to many odors and they trigger my asthma.
It is amazing to me how well dish soap works for so many things. And, I have discovered that, for me, wearing a mask while I clean is a big help in avoiding an asthma attack.
Thank you!
I'm always really thankful the way you approach messes. Growing up, I was always shamed for when my cleaning fell behind, but reframing it the way you do has actually helped me keep my home cleaner as an adult because it's less shameful and more like a fun game to see how clean I can get it.
The way Auri says "detergent" makes me smile every single time
My fav is “trashes” adorable!
SqeeGee ❤
My favourite is "trashes"😊
I love the way she says trash she says trases I love her ❤
I don’t know. Why does this woman cleaning make me soooo happy?! I am literally smiling right now!
I battled with chronic depression,and I've never let my home get in this state,this young lady is awesome for cleaning others fi.lthy homes.
I used to not care how my home looked, my boyfriend and I are now living together and he has OCD, so now I have to cleen up after myself. I'm better now, after 4 years of living together, I have depression that is why my home was always messy. Now that I clean up after myself and us keeping our house clean my mental health improved a lot. I love watching your videos because I know I was in that place once, and I'm so grateful for my boyfriend helping me through it like you help people with their homes.
So if you feel like this, get your ass up and clean! I promise you you would feel a lot better.
Mess, dirt, and clutter really can bring anybody down! It can be so stressful. I always feel better, accomplished, after cleaning and things are in better order. I have learned w three kids to not underestimate clutter!
You are a real inspiration. I love your way of cleaning, declutter things and finally achieve a nice clean space to live in. You know I've sort of lost my mind and am really struggling to get my home in shape. I haven't known how it is to deep clean an entire home. I think, I plan but fail to execute completely and end up with a unclean space. I'm not a person who would leave a space like this. But I just couldn't prove myself. But I'd definitely say your videos are slowly uplifting my spirits. I would definitely share my final results when I'm done setting up my home.
Mucho ánimo, vas a poder.
@@maitemartin6563 thank you
you can do it!! 🎉
Just do one room at a time. Once an area is clean, keep it clean, and eventually you will be done. The next time you do spring cleaning, there won't be as much hard work to do.
I find the hardest part is getting started. so I "trick" myself by saying, you only have to clean 1 thing. make it a small thing like a microwave or sweeping the floor. I find once I get started, my motivation kicks in and I do way more than that.
The transformation these homeowners see when they return after the apartment has been so well cleaned must seem other worldly. She is so kind.
They will be able to breathe so much better with all that dust gone! 😌🌬
When you think about what dust is (dead skin) it's pretty freaking disgusting.
Вы молодец!!! Делаете важное дело и очень хорошо!!! Но не забывайте и о своей безопасности!!! Одевайте маску или респиратор для защиты дыхательных путей от пыли и спор плесени. Это попадает в лёгкие и может вызвать неприятные последствия! А такую "бородатую" пыль лучше пылесосом чистить, не будет разлетаться!!! Берегите себя !!!💕

I cleaned houses for over 20 years…I never came across a house this dirty. I cleaned dirty. Just never this much filth. You are a machine. Great job.
If someone said to me you can only follow one account, out of the hundreds I follow across all social media platforms, I would choose to follow Auri. Love 💕 you so much. Thank you, Auri. You truly are amazing.

These videos are my motivation. It’s currently 22:47pm in the UK. I’ve just blitzed my bedroom, apart from hoovering obv, and I feel so much better! Thank you, Auri! 🥰
So tired and disgusted with the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Aurakatariina is the real star! Working hard and getting things done, while being beautiful and glamourous.
I always found it odd that you use dishwasher in so many places but recently I’ve been trying to clean a window in my house that has not been washed in probably 3-4 years and the dust just wouldn’t come off. So I used dishwasher and it worked! It’s so much cleaner now and it looks white when before it was grey, I was shocked!
Thank you for showing us your tips, they do help!
We always wash the windows with dish soap in Finland, we’ve always done so 😂
I thought you put your window in the dishwasher. Then I realized you meant dish soap😅
@@warmekip2713 Or, if you’re in the UK, washing up liquid!
The tip about folding the microfiber towel is a really great time saver. I can't believe how much time I could save rinsing and ringing out my towels between wipes.
You are so so kind! Thank you for helping others have a comfortable/safe home. And I always learn something new watching your videos too!
Your videos make me feel less embarrassed about the state my house was in! I've been working on it recently and using some of your hacks it's so much better!!! 🥰
You’re attitude towards deep cleaning is kind of how I feel 😊 So satisfying to have the tools and knowledge to give these places a proper reset
So many people live in these types of conditions. You do such a great job giving people clean spaces to start over. I don't know, for me a good vacuum cleaner with a good filter will suck up that dust. Sometimes cleaning with a duster or rag just disturbs it and it flies everywhere. You channel is very encouraging.
Thanks for that microfiber trick! I wish we could see your smiling face more in the videos! Part of the joy is seeing you smile right before a big room clean, and when you film behind the camera all the time, it's not the same😁
so satisfying to watch, and very informational! also, im sure this home owner was incredibly thankful. professional cleaners truly are miracle workers for people who struggle with upkeep.
I just wanna give you a hug for all you do for these people honestly you are so kind hearted and lovely.
Genuinely love watching you 💓
You should write a book with all of your cleaning tips! I would definitely purchase it.
Question:
Do you need to periodically replace or sharpen the scraper?
I have really hard water and my bathtub and toilet quickly build up thick, tough scale. I scrape it off with safety razor blades to avoid using harsh chemical cleaners like "CLR" or "Kaboom" as much as possible.
The blades are flexible, so that I can scrape at an angle without damaging the surface, as you said. However, the blades get pretty dull quickly. I basically burn through one per cleaning session. Maybe your scraper is a bit thicker so that it's not a problem?
___________________
Also, thanks for all you do! I have ADHD and depression, which means dirt piles up and then it becomes too overwhelming to tackle, so I shut down mentally, which just leads to more filth! The way you break down an area into tasks and provide straightforward instructions is really great! It can help break the cycle and make cleaning my home manageable again. I know it's "common sense" to break down big projects into smaller tasks, but for those of us with this issue, it can be hard to know where to start without guidance like yours.
____________________
I would suggest to others with ADHD that when you leave a cleaning product on a surface to soak, make sure to set a timer! If you don't, you may get distracted and forget you were soaking it. I've lost count of how many times I've done that, myself. With a timer, you don't have to worry about the product drying or damaging the surface because you forgot it. Otherwise you're just making more work for yourself!
When my grandma died, she left her house for her four children and 10 grandchildren to clean. She had a large country mansion and we’re a family of hoarders so it took all of us to first remove all our crap and then get to work on hers. There was so much dust! I was around 16 at the time and I remember I was wheezing a lot because I was breathing it all in. The problem was, we couldn’t just throw all her stuff out because a) she was a scientist who did a lot of research on phycology and the way children think, learn and develop so there were a lot of files that had to be looked through to see whether or not they were important, she had three studies full of files so it took a long time, and b) a lot of her things held sentimental value - what did I say about being a family of hoarders - like the letters her husband sent to her while he was away on his trip around the world.
The kitchen was one of the worst things (especially the larder). I’m not sure how to explain it so I’ll give you an example: she had a small cottage in Scotland and when we were there for Easter, she found a packet of prunes from 1986 (this was 2017) and she cooked and ate them. So basically, there was a lot of old food in her larder.
Because she lived alone and was 84 when she died, she couldn’t really get around to cleaning everything so there was about 50 years of dust and dirt. It wasn’t awful as my aunt came weekly to clean, but it was still not great - especially when we started doing the sorting which was a year after she died so the house had been empty all that time
Your tips would have been so useful!
The people living in such a mess have mental issues and real problems going on. I can feel the pain and suffering.
Thanks for helping them.
Also thanks to the companies paying Aurikatariina helping others and getting not only fullfillment and purpose.
This is in Finland, right? I wouldn't be at all surprised if the government there pays for this service. Unlike here....
@@peztopher7297 I hear you, sadly. As a taxpayer in the USA I wish my money went towards preventing homes around me from being a biohazard, or the yard from being a haven for ticks/snakes/hornets etc. It's never just the resident's problem, it becomes an ongoing problem for the community around them and then the problem of the next person to own the home. There are so many homes that need to be torn down or completely remodeled, not because they couldn't last, but because they're neglected and there was no community service to prevent it from becoming that bad. Who benefits from that? Why would I want half or more of my neighborhood to be falling down? Americans are selfish and not even in a self-serving way...
I'm a maid in house keeping at a State park and I'm using some of your tips. I've been there for 17 years and I love your tips. Thank you.
i love watching your videos as someone who suffers from depression and i have trouble cleaning my room, watching your videos give me inspiration and motivation to clean it. also i do really need to clean my room since i’m getting a shy cat! lol
I used to do this as a side job! AND I STILL love cleaning/organizing!
I highly recommend wearing masks for mold/hoarding situations
I recommend “pretty litter” bag new brand for cats litter box. Help less dust and smell Oder control.

This is your first video I’ve seen. As someone with multiple health conditions, including having to rest most days for hours a day, I wanted to thank you for your positive attitude and kindness. It’s very easy to talk down to oneself- telling yourself how useless you are if you can’t keep up with “the basics” - and your attitude helps to provide a different perspective. What I learned here is that the backlog of chores is not a guilty judgment in a court of law with a life sentence, it’s just stuff to be cleaned. 🤷♀️ And they way you approached the cleaning by being matter-of-fact and not overly reactive to any of it makes it easier to remove emotional baggage and just see the cleaning as a task. And by giving simple instructions using a minimal variety of products, you make it seem achievable. Thank you! New subscriber!
Hi Aurikatariina, just wanted to let you know that "flush" can also mean "rinse" in English, so you were right the first time. Love your videos, I'm finally getting my house clean after neglecting it for far too long!
Love your content Auri. Your so sweet to help these people. You always get everything so nice and clean when you think it’s impossible to get it clean. You get it clean. Love it!!!
I absolutely love your videos. I love watching people clean but I have a short attention span so you’re videos are perfect because your talking keeps me more focused
How many mommy/daddy scrubs do you go through average per client apartment? I am addicted. Thank you for all of your helpful videos jam packed with tips and inspiration to keep my apartment squeaky clean and help my friends with theirs's as well.
I had candle wax on my favorite mirror for the past 2 years and I NEVER thought to use a scraper! Thanks to you I used it and it came off instantly! 🥰❤️ And yes.. I feel a little dumb lol 🤦♀️
Warm/Hot (not boiling) water can help get any residue off as well
Just remember to wipe it all of so it doesn’t spread
Uauu chocada com a diferença,
Tão satisfatório ver tudo ficando limpo.
Hi Aurikatariina! I smiled at hearing your joy of having such a challenge! Yes, we could definitely see the smell! I would have had to disinfect that sink so many times! I probably would have thrown away a lot and replaced things. All the money on how much disinfectant, bleach, cleaners, rags! I need clean fresh rags, lots of them! Especially with kitchen hygiene! Would be just as economical and less time consumed! I get so turned off grossness on any kitchen items! It would be fun to have a friend like you! Our topics would be in common! Thanks for your encouraging video!
I just gotta say, you're a wonderful motivator. Thank you for showing that these people can get help without judgment, you're are a very good person
It interesting to see how similar we all are😎we all need shelter, food and clothing. And understanding and compassion💕
Самое главное, что я вынесла из опыта автора канала - что в целом средства для чистки различаются только по времени, за которое они начнут действовать - от мягкого средства для мытья посуды до жестких средств для духовки. И что не стоит бояться грязи, это ей стоит бояться меня хд
Очень полезный канал!
