Hey Auri! just a suggestion to try. I'm looking at your past popular videos and, I think, to get higher views, it's better to put before and after pictures in the thumbnail and description. sending love always
why do people feel entitled to demand a cleaner to become a carpenter, painter, exterminator, therapist, etc. 😭😭 I love your joyful spirit Auri, you always make cleaning a fun sport 😊
God certainly gave you a Beautiful Soul and I love the way you are spreading your heart to help others have a chance to change things. People mean well, but in the State's we have BIG OPINIONS about what *YOU SHOULD DO!* YOU ARE DOING A FABULOUS JOB...and With JOY! You do not need to add anything! You just NEED TO DO WHAT You are already doing, which is far more than 99% of cleaners routinely do. You are a Joyful Angel to those whose lives you touch! Blessings!
I think TV shows like Kitchen's nightmares etc are setting the expectations pretty high. They are forgetting that this is 'just' a youtuber cleaning for free and not a big TV company that could afford a make-over of the rooms.
@@Aurikatariina it’s not your responsibility to buy furniture but consider partnering with Habitat for Humanity or Goodwill to connect your clients with furniture donations. People with such poor cleaning and hygiene should not bother getting new furniture (except mattresses should be purchased new). Just buy used in good condition. And there are mattress covers that enclose the entire mattress with a zipper closure and can contain bedbugs and mites
Thinking of that little girl sleeping on that couch in a roach infested house made me bawl. I so hope the mother gets the mental health help she needs for her daughter’s sake, she deserves more. 😢
The sad fact is the mother doesn't really care enough to do anything, it was even the kid who contacted the cleaner for help, not the adult in the situation. No mother who cared would allow her child to live in that level of health-wrecking squalor for many years. It's child abuse, not a 'sad story'.
It also kind of broke my heart to hear that they've been sleeping on a couch in a sitting position and to see that the daughter's room literally had only... a bed. No desk or chair, no posters, photos... looked really sad. I really hope the mother follows through with her promises but still I agree with the other comment that this is basically abuse.
@@gloney That and the roach crawling out of her backpack before going to school was a lot for me. Everyone is telling Auri she should do something, which she is, helping to provide a safer home with her cleanings as a professional cleaner but there's other people in the community too, like her school. Schools are trained to look for signs of abuse. I'm sure teachers and staff has seen evidences of bugs being brought in by her. Maybe she's not the only kid either.
All that lent in the dryer is a fire hazard. Many adults don’t realize this because they haven’t been taught but after each load in the dryer, you should always clean the lent out after the dryer in order for the dryer to work properly and for the dryer NOT to catch on fire.
Auri, those people giving you hate probably don't move a muscle to help anyone. If they want that much this family to have new furniture, those people complaining can go and buy it.
Regarding trolls and haters: Some people are so unhappy and/or ugly inside, it seeps and oozes out. They try to smear the filth on others. It is a precursor to evil because they feel righteous and justified in their judgement of others. It is the antithesis of kindness and giving. There is no hope for the haters
Right!! I added a tip of a cleaner if she wanted to try to save some beds but it's not her job to replace people's items. It would cost so much to replace people's furniture Everytime
@hello-vy5lb the comments on instagram are downright nasty because she didn't go and replace all the beds in the videos we've seen. They expect her to just solve every problem.
I'm a professional cleaner, daughter of a hoarder. I love your joy. You are an inspiration. You make my day job feel so easy, and for those biannual visits to my mom's house, you are my partner... I know I'm really not alone cleaning.
@@sellyourhomenowbookShe lives in another state and we have a difficult relationship. I begged her to get help, even offered to pay for her a maid, had it all lined up but she's a hoarder, a food hoarder. It's about control, she is keeping the old food. And she doesn't want outsiders to see her living conditions. She has 13 dogs and my mentally disabled sister. These issues are why we don't get along.
@@sellyourhomenowbook she lives in another state, and we have a difficult relationship. Also, she's a hoarder, so it's a struggle. I tried to hire a maid but Mom cancelled her. She doesn't want outsiders to see or interfere, not even me.
My mother is kind of a hoarder as was her mother. Bless you for helping but don’t over exert yourself! There’s only so much you can do. At some point you just have to let people sleep in the bed they made. ❤
I think the timer idea is a GREAT idea! Having cleaned my own depression home, or having friends come over and help me clean, people don't understand that it takes DAYS - like 9am-9pm for the living room and kitchen over a weekend. Putting an iPad with a full-screen timer, or an analog clock in the shot would be a really awesome way for people to see how long these things actually take you.
Truly love what you do. I don’t know the mother’s situation but my Mum and brother were like this. Among other things, they left trash, food and plates everywhere, never cleaned and it was hard growing up like that. We lived in the UK so we would get lots of house flies and carpet bugs. I tried my best to clean when I got home from school but it became too difficult to maintain. I ended up suffering with childhood depression and I only felt better after moving out. That’s why I love what you do Auri! You help as much as you can and I can see your genuine passion about what you do. Cleaning is a demanding and sometimes gruesome task, but it does wonders for mental health to have a clean space to live in. I hope the girl in this house feels much better, and can finally have some good sleep and peace of mind. You and your brother are a blessing ❤ much love
My husband suffers from depression, and today I started cleaning his bedroom. Yes, we have separate rooms, and it's the only room in the house that looks like a dump. Every so often I clean it out for him, and every time it's just a matter of time before it reverts into a dump. I guess I'll just keep going until he's feeling better... You're an angel for what you do. This is cleaning, not extreme makeover home edition.
What you're doing is amazing! Keep showing your husband support by doing this for him. Living in mess will just add to his depression and you cleaning will definitely help.❤
I wish I had someone to help me clean the house. I suffer from depression and my husband is disabled so he can't help for very long. I'm sure your husband appreciates you very much!
There’s a fine line between helping and enabling. If it were me, I’d take something nice for myself in return, like a weekend vacation or some new clothes, something like that. Otherwise, I’d be sooooo resentful and I don’t want to be resentful.
The strange thing about pest control is, that nobody wants to admit that they called them. I had an internship for 4 weeks at a pest control company, most of our work was "monitoring" if there was a problem at all (you lay out glue traps to control if any bugs got caught). We had to service the supermarkets very very early in the morning so that nobody would see the car in front of the supermarket. But EVERY store has bugs not and then. Even the hardware stores. So it is actually a good sign to see pest control somewhere, because somebody is taking care of the bugs at all! I think the key to not having bugs is don't feed them: store food in closed containers, don't leave any leftovers lying around. But the warmer the country, the higher the risk of getting bugs anyway - don't be ashamed to call pest control!
Probably true. I had them in my previous appartment. The problem was that I lived above an infested bakery. I just KNEW they were the problem, also because the guys from the pizzeria next to the bakery were also complaining. However, they just downright denied it, so there was nothing I could do. Eventually I just moved out...
When I lived in Texas I never had cockroaches in one house because the scorpions ate them. Be careful what you wish for! And you’re right-never leave any food or crumbs out anywhere. This doesn’t eliminate cockroaches but it reduces them. I am always alarmed when I hear people say, “Oh, just leave the dirty dishes. I’ll clean up in the morning.” These people have never seen a cockroach or an ant infestation. Roaches will eat anything and can live a long time with no food at all. They ate my rubber spatulas to get at the microscopic oil left on them after washing. Yuck.
Those cockroaches also get into the electrics because they like anything that is warm. I speak from experience of long ago. The bathroom looks brand new and so shiney!!! You did a marvellous job. The lounge floor looks amazing!! The daughter didnt seem to have any belongings in her room. ☹
To the people saying that Auri should report this to CPS, if she did, no-one would ever trust her again and she wouldn't be able to help any more desperate people. Ruining the trust in that relationship won't help anyone.
If she did, she shouldn't put that information in the comments so people wouldn't know and will reach out for help 🤷♀️ as much as we'd like to know lol
She probably did report it after she cleaned the house. She probably just didn't mention it because it isn't anyone's business. But clearly they need services.
I can't believe you were cleaning this house with sandals on, I'd get goosebumps if a roach got near my foot. You're really brave, and such an inspiration. There's times where I won't have the motivation to clean and then you will post and I'll get this surge of motivation to clean. thank you for everything you do Auri!
I’m more concerned they had no proper eye or respiration protection considering the diseases and illness they spread and you can obtain. Plus roaches bites effing hurt
Loved that video and how calm you can tell why you do what you do 😊 i have never seen a sadder children /teenage room ever. That girl doesnt have anything, no desk, no chair, no books, nothing. Just a plain empty room with a bed she couldnt use. She deserves more. She deserves a clean, caring environment where she can sleep in a comfy and clean bed, where she can study at a desk, where she can take a bath and brush her teeth, a kitchen where she can make pancakes. I feel so sorry, girl, that you had to grow up like this. I wish that this new start puts the mother in a better mental position and that she can begin taking care of her and her chid properly.
she doesnt even have toys or art or many clothes, she must smell bad from roaches and no bath. idk why they didnt use the perfectly good bed, maybe there was too many roaches there for some reason. just heartbroken what sone children have to live like bcus their parents dont care enough to sort themselves out to not live in utter filth and hovels 😢
@@IbieB That is probably why she asked that her toys be saved during the cleaning. That is all she has. Unfortunately, I don't think the mother will change without help. But at least this child will know what a clean home looked like for a week. She now has a vision of what a clean place looks like.
You said you're not an angel, but you are! Leaving something for the Mom to do is healthy. You take this on for the love of cleaning and because you care about people. A+++ motivation and follow through! ❤❤❤
Auri, I've been a fan of yours for months now and have seen all your videos and already adore you immensely...but this house you cleaned was a new level. You are a living, breathing angel helping these people the way you do. I grew up with a single mom and three siblings, and due to our mother's state of mind and alcoholism, our house or apartment was always in a horrendous state. I had friends who would come over to help me clean every now and again. It always meant so much to me, even then, though especially in hindsight. What you are doing for these families, especially children, is huge. I remember being a child and thinking I wasn't good enough because I didn't have clean spaces like other people. I strongly believe these dirty environments are representations of how these individuals feel about themselves...a representation of their self worth at that time. By giving them the non-judgemental help that you do, I strongly believe you are helping their souls more than you know; perhaps especially the children. God bless you, Aurikatariina
This woman is straight up lying. There is no way she lets a child live like this and will suddenly just run out and buy a new fridge and couch and beds. This child should not be living here at all.
Well, I kinda see there was no point buying more/new stuff while everything was a dump. Just as a possible explanation. Sure the child deserves better. But so do many. And the US has very poor social services. To think, elsewhere would be better, just based on this messy home, is sadly wishful thinking.
Thank God for you helping these 2 out and giving them a fresh start I’m shocked the child was not taken away… it’s heartbreaking ❤️🩹 they lived like that for so many years Now I hope it will all be better especially the 13 year old ❤
Marvelous job in each and every video. The cleaning is so satisfying. Thanks for explaining the various aspects of your cleaning so clearly in the videos
I don’t believe her at all when she says she will be getting a new fridge, couch and beds. I think she is just saying what people want to hear because she knows if she doesn’t people will have something to say.
I’m going to be positive here, at least she asked for help. She is a working mom also. She probably feels extremely overwhelmed and depressed. I am so happy Auri helped her in the right direction. I hope the mom can do the upkeep and realize she has value and worth. ❤
I think she's a terrible person. Not because of the mess, not at all! I don't judge when it comes to however dirty the house is, i keep it minimally judment free when it comes to the dirt. I think she's horrible for making her child reach a level where she sleeps SITTING down a COUGH. This is super fucked up. At that point, she should've used her child's discomfort as a motivator to do better. Sure, everything esle is already horrible, but that had to be the breaking point to literally see your child sleep in such a way, and for years too. Mind blowing to me. I don't wish anything well to the mom, I find her to be disgusting (literally too). I just hope she can do better at least (but I doubt it, as others mentioned). the only person I feel so bad for is the child. POOR THING.
Strongly suggest you check up on this mother in a while to see if she followed through at all in extermination of the pests, buying new furniture etc. Lots of promises, but someone who is prepared to put her own kid through that is generally NOT reliable or honest in her intentions or able to form new, good habits.
I couldn't agree more. It's not healthy for a child not to be able to sleep in a bed. Definitely the two of them need some sort of counseling because I can only imagine traumatizing living this way
Great job! You asked about why there weren’t cockroaches everywhere in all the businesses. Most businesses in warmer clients pay for exterminators to treat monthly. Otherwise there would be cockroaches everywhere. I hope that helps!
Yes, roaches are like mice or any other pest. if you don’t leave sources of food for them around and if you use poison or traps you usually won’t have a problem. You may have a few but not an infestation.
@elizabethwoodley4340 yeah, but roaches can live off of the glue in furniture and walls, they can eat cardboard and paper... with those kind of roaches in a climate like southern florida, you need regularly scheduled pest control visits. I wouldn't recommend living in a condo.
I cant believe that you’re cleaning for free and people are still arguing if you don’t buy a new furniture or something, God bless you for real cause this is a really hard thing to do❤
Auri, dont feel so down about those who tell you "you should've done more", "you didn't do this and that". Those people are probably new to your channel!
Cleaning and organising can be very therapeutic. It helps me feel like I'm in control of my life or situation plus everything is always better clean rather than dirty.
So true! I have health issues that make it difficult for me and it's particularly difficult to take out the garbage where I live but my house is NO WHERE near like this by any means. These videos motive me and also help me to not feel like such a failure. At least I still try and don't have mountains of garbage everywhere not even in bags or cockroach infested.
@E.C.Animation if you live in an apartment you might ask a neighbor to take it out when they take theirs...or if you have a fireplace burn the paper cardboard and any paper packaging. Hugs praying yo feel better soon.
Thank you for the well wishes. I do not live in an apt though. It's more the edge of nowhere and the garbage has to go 1/4 mile up a steep hill and I don't have a car or anyone but my dog and a sled or cart to help take it there and it can only be done on one particular day otherwise bears, crows and other animals get into it. So if I don't feel well enough that day that week it doesn't get done. I also can't burn it due to allergies. So I put any food waste that's safe out for wild animals to eat. Most of the garbage is literally cardboard boxes which the garbage pickup won't take in winter since it all has to be in plastic bags due to frost laws. But most of the boxes won't fit in a bag lol I put the rest of the garbage in bags and keep it in the garage to take out when I can so it's not in the house. It's also super cold here so there aren't roaches so much. :) @@sellyourhomenowbook
Just an fyi Auri, that type of mattress is called a euro-top and isn't supposed to be flipped. The dirty side is the only side you are supposed to sleep on (which is why I don't buy one). I don't blame you for flipping that one though, it was bad! But you can also buy mattress protectors where you buy sheets that will cover up the dirty side :) LOVE YOU!!!!!
It’s also called a pillow top. I have one too. They seem a great idea until you end up with an uneven mattress and can’t even flip it to prolong the life of it lol. Best you can do is rotate it.
@@ParisAntarktisoh well she can’t chase them all down. There will be plenty of roaches crawling all over the bed. The mother can buy a mattress topper and call an exterminator.
@@ParisAntarktis I think they were gonna get under there regardless whether Auri killed them or not. They can’t do anything about the roaches. That’s a professional exterminator job, even if they killed a hundred, there’s probably a thousand living in every nook, cranny, in that wall (look at the walls with holes - they’re in there for sure). Let’s face it, “Nicole” and “Rihanna” have been living in far worse - they’re sleeping on a manky bogging couch every night, so at this point I don’t think it’s going to bother them if a roach or two is under the mattress. They’re more than aware of worse at this point. Hopefully by now they’ve seen an exterminator but something tells me that house will never be free of them. Like Auri said “it’s better than nothing”.
honestly it makes me relieved to hear it takes you hours to clean. i always thought it didn't take you long so i always felt bad about myself for taking so long. i agree with the idea of adding a timer!
Great job I love that you are cleaning houses in the USA. I think it’s actually harder the way the houses are set up that in Europe since we don’t have drains on the floor! This was a great video!
I think the floor drains are more of a Finnish thing. I’ve never seen it elsewhere in Europe. And I live in germany, been to Netherlands, Belgium, France, Austria and switzerland
Yes I wish floor drains were more common! Unless it’s regional, I’ve only seen floor drains in industrial and commercial bathrooms in the US, never residential
Dawn and white vinegar 50/50 is best natural cleaning solution for me, since I’m allergic to chemical cleaning solutions. Thank you for another great video 😊
I though Dawn was chemical. I use natural all purpose cleaner, and liquid soap to clean mostly everything in the house. I still haven't tried the vinegar.
@@mirnamerced8685 You’re correct. I meant I’m allergic to heavy odor cleaning solutions like ammonia and bleach for heavy stains somehow Dawn’s smell doesn’t bother me.
You do wonders and you give people a real helping hand when they are down. I hope you never let the negative people get to you. What you do is amazing.❤
Yes! The resident needs to take the steps to do what they can after your generous gesture, or else the home will just fall into the same condition over time without the resident making changing themselves. My loving and kind mother helped me clean my home when I was really depressed, and time after time it would get horrible again until I had to re-clean for days. Once I made my own changes, I was able to keep a clean home! You’re inspirational and so motivational with your positive attitude, thank you!!!
You do not have to justify or explain yourself!!! You do what you can and you ARE an angel for doing what you do!!!!!! We love you, you are amazing and wonderful!!! Thank you!!!! 💖💖💖💜💜💜🩵🩵🩵🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍🌟🌟🌟👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I've been watching your vids for a while now and I can totally see how much you do for people with a non-judgemental, positive attitude...and FOR FREE! You are doing such an amazing work & people still expect you to do more... these must be new viewers who don't know much about cleaning lol.. maybe they should start a RUclips channel buying/thrifting new furniture for these people and see how hard it can be. Anyways sorry to hear you getting hate comments...but know that we see and appreciate all the hard work you do for these people and changing their lives.
The addition of the timer is a great idea Auri! Its a great reminder that in reality it took much longer to clean the space than what we saw in the clip. Love it.
It makes me angry that people criticize you. You are amazing and what you do for people is extremely enabling and therapeutic. You are generous and kind, sweet and humble. I wish healing journeys for all your clients. The schools have extermination plans, the classroom is cleaned daily and trash (err, trashes) are removed from the building daily. Those roaches are sustained by all that trash. They also love cardboard. If this is an apartment building, the common areas are treated for pests.
Hey I wanted to thankyou for the motivation you gave me to see my mom and help her clean her house. I am a role model to my little sister and I am hoping she sees my helping my mom as not a chore, but a favor because we love family unconditionally. I admire your mentally and approach to this. It helps me and many other people gain confidence to better their lives. :)
I love that you're willing to help others in so many situations. God Bless you. You're an inspiration. Your helping others by showing on the screen what tools you use. Your turning something negative to something positive. Thank you again for all that you do. I think its a great idea to put the time it takes you to clean ❤️
Baby, you are an angel!!! I don't care what anyone else has to say. There's no denying the impact you make in these people's lives after seeing the before and after of these places. May God continue to bless you and bless others through you!
About roaches, since you're not from here: If you keep your house clean, you won't have roaches. If you keep dishes done and your food stored properly, then no problems. IF a few roaches come into a clean home, they came from outside or a nearby house, and you can immediately spray to keep them from staying and multiplying. They only stay if they have things to eat (food and garbage). Same with grocery stores. They HAVE to keep things clean. If they do, no roaches. But grocery stores and restaurants especially have to keep a close eye to prevent them. When we first moved into our home, it was evident that there had been some cockroaches from the former owner, and we had to battle them (not many) for a few weeks. But they have NEVER come back and we have lived in this house for almost 30 years now.
OMG so many roaches. What a transformation! I am sure that the lady and her daughter were thrilled. I am impressed with what you do for all these deserving people. A job well done keep up the good work.
My mother was German and my father was retired Air Force. I can tell you we were the cleanest people on the street. You’re so kind and I’m judging with these people that have unfortunately these type of issues. Keep up the good work you’re helping so many and giving courage to even more people.🎉
@@LadyAurora10doesn't though?!isn't better to be able to do these stuff and don't force a child to live with cockroches?!I don't know..we are not here to judge of course but I personally prefer a person who does it not my 13 years old scrolling tictok finding solution for my problems
@@ghazalmirani1445 It seems that many commenters are here EXACTLY just for judging, and nothing else. They don't have any clue about depression or other challenges people might suffer from, NOR do they care to learn anything.
Oh, Auri!! What a beautiful job you and your brother did😊!! I feel so sad to think of that little girl having lived like that for so long. Probably never even realizing what clean looked like or felt like. I can imagine the looks of happiness on the faces of the Mom and the daughter to see the amazing, amazing work you did. ❤️ Well done!! ❤
You are so incredible, doing such a wonderful work. Don't worry about the bad comments. Some people lives outside of reality. If you give a hand, they will complain and ask for your arm.
Auri, you have outdone yourself. What an awesome job you and your brother did.!!! Thank you for helping this Mom and daughter. I can only imagine how grateful they are. I hope this mom can get an exterminator in after all the food and trash is cleared out. You are amazing.❤❤❤❤❤
Auri, you have been cleaning for a long time and you are very good at it. I am sure that you also know a better than a lot of viewers what to throw away and what not to throw away. You know how long each task takes. It's easy for some people to sit and watch your videos and criticise what you do or don't do, but they are not there with you to see behind the scenes! You just keep going; you are helping so many people in need!
@@Robbie-mw5uu I think it also applies to electric dryers. My sister's husband cleaned their dryer vent, and TONS of lint came out (they sent me pics).
Whenever I’m cleaning something and feel disappointed at the result at the end of it, I always tell myself that it’s better than it was I can continuously maintain so it gradually gets cleaner and cleaner😊 it’s not always about doing the best clean job, sometimes its just about maintaining the area so it does not become overwhelming
You do not deserve any hate comments😭you're doing amazing work every time!!it is the house owners'/tenants' fault!i do not understand why people send you hate at all
Auri please dont let the haters get to you, you do more than enough and for FREE as well, you are helping these families with a fresh new start at rebuilding their life and I think that's amazing to do it for free and with such a positive attitude as well ❤ I'm so proud of this mothing for saying she will take responsibility and get new beds and a new fridge and i hope she follows through (also $1,400 a month for that apartment!? thats cheap compared to the insane apartment prices where i live where a smaller looking apartment could cost yo to $2,000)
I agree with you. You do so much. It is necessary for the owner to have a part in taking steps to be responsible and be proactive on their end with improving their living spaces. What you do is far plenty and more than enough. ❤
It would help if you could actually speak and write proper English. Auri gets it wrong all the time, but she is not an English speaker in the first place. You are. Trashes is a verb like "Auri's friend trashes her own apartment". What Auri should be saying is 'trash' when refering to what she is doing, and you should have just said 'trash'. I am not American but an Australian and we use the proper English spelling for mould, but you can be forgiven if you are American on that. Crockroaches, that is not a word. You mean cockroaches.
Actually, I am convinced that you are INDEED an angel. Even without buying new furniture 😉 Seeing you work is so motivational. I learned real cleaning from you and never was my flat so tidy and clean ^^
You are doing such good work. You are totally right when you said the home owner also needs to help from here and take responsibility in getting new fridge and furniture. Haters will always hate and have something negative to say. Keep up the amazing things you do! I love your videos and the positivity you have towards yourself and the world. 🎉
This is absolutely heartbreaking children have to live in this environment. I couldn’t ever imagine putting my child through this. You really are amazing Auri I bet the little girl is really grateful. Poor thing.
Maybe someone in the Miami area will see this and recognize who this is. Auri would lose the ability to clean for people if they thought she would “turn them in” to social services. She is giving them a chance to start over, but it is not the ultimate solution, as Auri probably knows. Roaches don’t appear in schools and stores because they are sprayed to keep them under control. If the mom and girl leave the house during the day, they can spray to kill back the infestation.
Hopefully, Auri's help has made a positive difference in the home. But, yes, someone needs to check on them regularly and make sure the home is safe. I imagine that the fear of legal and custody issues prevents a lot of people from accepting help.
You truly are a real life hero 💗 Cleaning also makes me happy. My father and I have occasional arguments because he's s a hoarder and an alcoholic, it's really hard to deal with him. Me I want to live a minimalist lifestyle 😅 Once I get myself together, I'll probably move out and never buy unneeded items, nor will I ever keep rubbish.
First off, I love you Auri! I love what you do for people is amazing. But please please tell this family to get therapy.. this is beyond needing cleaned, this is a serious mental health crisis 😢 I can't imagine living around that many roaches... heartbreaking
I think your are doing an amazing job and ultimately its not ur responsibility to buy new furniture for them... this way the house gets a deep cleaning and then the residents can buy the style of furniture that suites their needs and style etc.... keep up the amazing work ❤❤❤
Aurikatarina, I love your name! And, I love to hear you say it. What you have done for this family is amazing. The child will remember you forever!❤! Thank you so so much 💗
This is abuse and neglect of that poor little girl. I'm sure her mom is suffering and struggling, and I feel for her I really do. But that child needs to be removed from this environment. I'm amazed that officials at school didnt notice that she hadn't had access to a shower or clean clothes. I almost never advocate taking children from their parents, but in this case I think the mom has demonstrated that she's incapable of taking proper care of her daughter. I know she probably wants to, but she can't. Someone needs to do something about this
I think they coped… the washing Maschine seemed to be working and the dryer was used. The sink in the bathroom had a cup they might have used to wash themselves - and it seemed relatively clean. I saw people without a home going to the cemetery’s restroom to make themselves respectable before going to work. They probably hide as much as they can. Well, the cockroaches hiding in bags and clothes are something different…
You are amazing, there is no way I would step foot in that apartment. My heart breaks for the child that had to live there. Cockroaches like dirty places. i’m 50 years old, and I have never had cockroaches in any home that I lived in.❤
I waited for this video all week, checking every day until it was there! Good job, guys! Under all that trash and all the bugs, I was so sorry to see the holes in the walls, need for new paint, etc. I do hope that the building management jumps in to do repairs after you finish cleaning! Also, this mother obviously needs psychotherapy, because she must be extraordinarily depressed to raise a child in that mess. I was so glad to hear that she is employed, so at least some money is coming in. Please, please, Mom: For your daughter's sake, keep the place clean after Auri and her brother leave! If you let the place slip even a little, it will be as bad as it was before they came to help! And Auri, you and your brother are angels. Not many people would continue to work after discovering all the cochroaches. I'm not sure I could. Your desire to help is exceptional.
Cockroaches love warm climates to breed and of course a food source. Also stuff lying around encourages them to nest in the trashes. (😂) It is usual in warm climates to have your house treated for pests at least once a year, that is why you don’t see them everywhere else. If you have a food source, trashes (😂) a warm climate and no pest control you have a perfect storm for infestation. Love your channel Auri Kateriina
Seeing filthy homes with kids living in them is really hard to watch, but it makes the kindness even more important! I have no idea how they tolerate the roaches climbing on them at night, that poor child will have nightmares if roaches when she grows up.
@@jodischoolcraft9188 Auri deserves every penny she makes. She does for others what they won't or can't do for themselves. I couldn't do what she does no matter how much money was offered. I skip over the toilet cleanings because I gag just looking at it. I hope Auri is a multi, multi-millionaire. She works damn hard for it.
Auri - you have done so much for this momma and her daughter! We can imagine the joy and comfort you have brought to them. This will help to clear momma's cluttered mind and the child can bathe and be clean for school after a night on new sheets in a real bed! She will hold her head higher. Such messes create anxiety, depression and hopelessness and you are an angel for relieving them of this burden. I am sorry that so many of these posts are so negative. It is not a nice welcome to the US.
Don't listen to the hate comments about the couch. You can only do so much. You can't do it all. You got the home to the point where the mom could get some new furniture and give her daughter a better life. You get the person to the point where they can start helping themselves. And if people are that worried about it, they can always donate the furniture themselves.
Good thing in USA is Goodwill stores and Salvation army when you get in situations when you have apartment with absolutely ruined furniture you can buy some for less than 50$.
Auri your my life saver because everytime i watch you u bring my stress out and you let me fell sleep easily and i dont finish the video i watch it the next day and next day i always be excited to continue the video i appreciate your sweetness and kidness to people who really need your help thank you auri ❤❤❤
I have a roach phobia. A roach can live off a 10 in strand of hair for 1 year. General cleanliness won't stop someone from getting roaches, but it will help to see a problem before it gets too large, potential entry points, and nesting areas in the home. In America, the further south with high humidity climate, the higher chance of roaches getting into a home. I live in central Florida, and we do DIY monthly chemicals in and around the house to catch it before it starts. It largely works, although one of the jumbo roaches will slip in every once in a while, especially during the rainy season. The best one we use, in my opinion, is the one that has a reproductive inhibitor, which doesn't allow them to have babies.
I really hope the Mum does go and buy new furniture like a fridge, couch and bed. Or even get second hand stuff.... it seems unlikely since it was the child who reached out to start with for some help 😢
I hope she is finally able to see that she needs to just pick up the trash once a week. Picking up and taking out the trash once a week makes a huge difference in a space.
I think people want you to buy furniture, just so that we can see the transformation immediately. It is so satisfying to see a clean house completeted with new, fresh furniture! But that is not your job, you are doing amazing with the cleaning! ❤️
That toilet bowl cleaner might have been a crappy brand. I’d recommend Lysol. Or CLR (calcium, lime, rust) for extreme hard water stains. Also that couch definitely needs burned 😂 I saw someone say this last week but you need better PPE when cleaning roach infested homes!
It looked awfully watery, didn’t it? Needed something thicker that wasn’t just going to run off the mess, it needed something viscous to sit there and eat through for a bit.
I use dollar tree toilet cleaner and it does fine, but then again I regularly clean my bathroom so it doesn't matter if it's dollar store quality if I clean often.
@@1justbritt that stuff was so thin that 98% of it was in the water in the first five seconds, it wasn’t clinging and therefore, wasn’t breaking down any of the limescale. The fact it “worked” is more to do with her constant scrubbing and chipping away at the grime with cleaning tools more than the liquid product. Use a product that’s thin like that in your loo, you’re basically just paying for a very expensive coloured flush. It’s doing little.
Hey guys, what do you want to know about me or this house?? I can answer your questions in next week's video!
How is your ear 😢
Awesome job Auri! If you get a chance to talk to her again can you please tell her to keep the lint trap in the dryer clean. It's a fire hazard
Have they had an exterminator treat the apartment after you cleaned it? They need serious help with the infestation. You do wonderful work❤.
Hey Auri! just a suggestion to try. I'm looking at your past popular videos and, I think, to get higher views, it's better to put before and after pictures in the thumbnail and description.
sending love always
And yes they have roaches in London
why do people feel entitled to demand a cleaner to become a carpenter, painter, exterminator, therapist, etc. 😭😭 I love your joyful spirit Auri, you always make cleaning a fun sport 😊
My fav is when theyre upset she doesnt bring a new bed, lol
@@Apryll. Right? The person asking for a new bed should buy it.
God certainly gave you a Beautiful Soul and I love the way you are spreading your heart to help others have a chance to change things. People mean well, but in the State's we have BIG OPINIONS about what *YOU SHOULD DO!* YOU ARE DOING A FABULOUS JOB...and With JOY! You do not need to add anything! You just NEED TO DO WHAT You are already doing, which is far more than 99% of cleaners routinely do. You are a Joyful Angel to those whose lives you touch! Blessings!
for FREE on top of that
I think TV shows like Kitchen's nightmares etc are setting the expectations pretty high. They are forgetting that this is 'just' a youtuber cleaning for free and not a big TV company that could afford a make-over of the rooms.
Its true you dont have to buy furniture for them your already cleaning their house for free thats a big help for them
🩷🩷🩷
I think the comments saying to get rid of the couch mean that the owners should do it, not Auri
@@Aurikatariina it’s not your responsibility to buy furniture but consider partnering with Habitat for Humanity or Goodwill to connect your clients with furniture donations. People with such poor cleaning and hygiene should not bother getting new furniture (except mattresses should be purchased new). Just buy used in good condition.
And there are mattress covers that enclose the entire mattress with a zipper closure and can contain bedbugs and mites
I agree. Giving them a clean, fresh start will lift their spirits and give them hope.
@@pearlsrevealed Auri does enough. Now you want her to renovate too? You go do it.
Thinking of that little girl sleeping on that couch in a roach infested house made me bawl. I so hope the mother gets the mental health help she needs for her daughter’s sake, she deserves more. 😢
I agree that little girl deserves better 😔
99% straight trash, I will never understand trash hoarding.
The sad fact is the mother doesn't really care enough to do anything, it was even the kid who contacted the cleaner for help, not the adult in the situation. No mother who cared would allow her child to live in that level of health-wrecking squalor for many years. It's child abuse, not a 'sad story'.
It also kind of broke my heart to hear that they've been sleeping on a couch in a sitting position and to see that the daughter's room literally had only... a bed. No desk or chair, no posters, photos... looked really sad. I really hope the mother follows through with her promises but still I agree with the other comment that this is basically abuse.
@@gloney That and the roach crawling out of her backpack before going to school was a lot for me. Everyone is telling Auri she should do something, which she is, helping to provide a safer home with her cleanings as a professional cleaner but there's other people in the community too, like her school. Schools are trained to look for signs of abuse. I'm sure teachers and staff has seen evidences of bugs being brought in by her. Maybe she's not the only kid either.
I would love an update on this family in a month or so to see how they kept the place and if mom kept her word on buying new furniture
This is not a reality tv show. You get no updates. They’re real people that will go back to their real lives
Right me too!
@@pookie.7492some of these people do send her updates when they do keep pretty clean. and she's really encouraging about it.
I’m sure that apartment if full of trash and dirt a week later… don’t believe a word of that “mother” …
@@pookie.7492we are hoping they don't go back, sadly.
All that lent in the dryer is a fire hazard. Many adults don’t realize this because they haven’t been taught but after each load in the dryer, you should always clean the lent out after the dryer in order for the dryer to work properly and for the dryer NOT to catch on fire.
The whole apartment is a fire hazard
My favs is cleaning the lint after every batch. Am I weird?
Bro dryer lint looks appetizing to me💀💀💀
@@YvonneBrilhart I LOVE dryer lint. So I guess I'm weird too.
It's just part of the laundry routine for me. Before I start the dryer, I clean the lint trap.
Auri, those people giving you hate probably don't move a muscle to help anyone. If they want that much this family to have new furniture, those people complaining can go and buy it.
I can't understand people hating on this beautiful human being.
Regarding trolls and haters: Some people are so unhappy and/or ugly inside, it seeps and oozes out. They try to smear the filth on others. It is a precursor to evil because they feel righteous and justified in their judgement of others. It is the antithesis of kindness and giving. There is no hope for the haters
She only helps herself...Witherspoon monétaire she Wins...
Right!! I added a tip of a cleaner if she wanted to try to save some beds but it's not her job to replace people's items. It would cost so much to replace people's furniture Everytime
@hello-vy5lb the comments on instagram are downright nasty because she didn't go and replace all the beds in the videos we've seen. They expect her to just solve every problem.
I'm a professional cleaner, daughter of a hoarder. I love your joy. You are an inspiration. You make my day job feel so easy, and for those biannual visits to my mom's house, you are my partner... I know I'm really not alone cleaning.
Beautiful. Your mom may need monthly or weekly visits. Hugs and love.
@@sellyourhomenowbookShe lives in another state and we have a difficult relationship. I begged her to get help, even offered to pay for her a maid, had it all lined up but she's a hoarder, a food hoarder. It's about control, she is keeping the old food. And she doesn't want outsiders to see her living conditions. She has 13 dogs and my mentally disabled sister. These issues are why we don't get along.
@@sellyourhomenowbook she lives in another state, and we have a difficult relationship.
Also, she's a hoarder, so it's a struggle. I tried to hire a maid but Mom cancelled her. She doesn't want outsiders to see or interfere, not even me.
you have your own life, keep your head up and just accept her, I'm sorry it hurts, your mom has her life to live @@tiffystrangebirdbrown6844 💐💕
My mother is kind of a hoarder as was her mother. Bless you for helping but don’t over exert yourself! There’s only so much you can do. At some point you just have to let people sleep in the bed they made. ❤
I think the timer idea is a GREAT idea! Having cleaned my own depression home, or having friends come over and help me clean, people don't understand that it takes DAYS - like 9am-9pm for the living room and kitchen over a weekend. Putting an iPad with a full-screen timer, or an analog clock in the shot would be a really awesome way for people to see how long these things actually take you.
Truly love what you do. I don’t know the mother’s situation but my Mum and brother were like this. Among other things, they left trash, food and plates everywhere, never cleaned and it was hard growing up like that. We lived in the UK so we would get lots of house flies and carpet bugs. I tried my best to clean when I got home from school but it became too difficult to maintain. I ended up suffering with childhood depression and I only felt better after moving out. That’s why I love what you do Auri! You help as much as you can and I can see your genuine passion about what you do. Cleaning is a demanding and sometimes gruesome task, but it does wonders for mental health to have a clean space to live in. I hope the girl in this house feels much better, and can finally have some good sleep and peace of mind. You and your brother are a blessing ❤ much love
My husband suffers from depression, and today I started cleaning his bedroom. Yes, we have separate rooms, and it's the only room in the house that looks like a dump. Every so often I clean it out for him, and every time it's just a matter of time before it reverts into a dump. I guess I'll just keep going until he's feeling better... You're an angel for what you do. This is cleaning, not extreme makeover home edition.
Is your husband getting help?
What you're doing is amazing! Keep showing your husband support by doing this for him. Living in mess will just add to his depression and you cleaning will definitely help.❤
I wish I had someone to help me clean the house. I suffer from depression and my husband is disabled so he can't help for very long. I'm sure your husband appreciates you very much!
I hope he's getting help, because that doesn't just disappear all by itself.
There’s a fine line between helping and enabling. If it were me, I’d take something nice for myself in return, like a weekend vacation or some new clothes, something like that. Otherwise, I’d be sooooo resentful and I don’t want to be resentful.
I have a hard time believing they're replacing anything after the clean. I hope I'm wrong. You're a saint Auri.
I was thinking the same thing 😢
@@muddhopper82same
She says she’ll replace things but doesn’t even have a space for a child to exist in a healthy environment.
Me too, I highly doubt anything will be replaced. At most maybe the fridge, MAYBE.
Shut up literally shut all your stupid mouths. None of you know these people shut up get out of their lives
I just commented this
She told her lies
The strange thing about pest control is, that nobody wants to admit that they called them. I had an internship for 4 weeks at a pest control company, most of our work was "monitoring" if there was a problem at all (you lay out glue traps to control if any bugs got caught). We had to service the supermarkets very very early in the morning so that nobody would see the car in front of the supermarket. But EVERY store has bugs not and then. Even the hardware stores. So it is actually a good sign to see pest control somewhere, because somebody is taking care of the bugs at all!
I think the key to not having bugs is don't feed them: store food in closed containers, don't leave any leftovers lying around. But the warmer the country, the higher the risk of getting bugs anyway - don't be ashamed to call pest control!
I agree with you I clean houses, and one of my clients is a pest control guy. At least someone is getting rid of the bugs.
Probably true. I had them in my previous appartment. The problem was that I lived above an infested bakery. I just KNEW they were the problem, also because the guys from the pizzeria next to the bakery were also complaining. However, they just downright denied it, so there was nothing I could do. Eventually I just moved out...
Bugs can feed on anything. They will survive anywhere, no matter how clean your apartment is. So yeah they don’t just come from the dirty places.
Thank you
When I lived in Texas I never had cockroaches in one house because the scorpions ate them. Be careful what you wish for! And you’re right-never leave any food or crumbs out anywhere. This doesn’t eliminate cockroaches but it reduces them. I am always alarmed when I hear people say, “Oh, just leave the dirty dishes. I’ll clean up in the morning.” These people have never seen a cockroach or an ant infestation. Roaches will eat anything and can live a long time with no food at all. They ate my rubber spatulas to get at the microscopic oil left on them after washing. Yuck.
Those cockroaches also get into the electrics because they like anything that is warm. I speak from experience of long ago.
The bathroom looks brand new and so shiney!!! You did a marvellous job. The lounge floor looks amazing!!
The daughter didnt seem to have any belongings in her room. ☹
To the people saying that Auri should report this to CPS, if she did, no-one would ever trust her again and she wouldn't be able to help any more desperate people. Ruining the trust in that relationship won't help anyone.
Exactly. They were already scared to even ask for help.
If she did, she shouldn't put that information in the comments so people wouldn't know and will reach out for help 🤷♀️ as much as we'd like to know lol
Do you have to see a dead body until its ok to take action or what is your logic?
She probably did report it after she cleaned the house. She probably just didn't mention it because it isn't anyone's business. But clearly they need services.
NO, she should not, I agree. BUT with that said someone will see this video and take action that is needed
I can't believe you were cleaning this house with sandals on, I'd get goosebumps if a roach got near my foot. You're really brave, and such an inspiration. There's times where I won't have the motivation to clean and then you will post and I'll get this surge of motivation to clean. thank you for everything you do Auri!
Easy to kick off and shake, no crevices or glue for them to get stuck in.
I’m more concerned they had no proper eye or respiration protection considering the diseases and illness they spread and you can obtain. Plus roaches bites effing hurt
Loved that video and how calm you can tell why you do what you do 😊 i have never seen a sadder children /teenage room ever. That girl doesnt have anything, no desk, no chair, no books, nothing. Just a plain empty room with a bed she couldnt use. She deserves more. She deserves a clean, caring environment where she can sleep in a comfy and clean bed, where she can study at a desk, where she can take a bath and brush her teeth, a kitchen where she can make pancakes. I feel so sorry, girl, that you had to grow up like this. I wish that this new start puts the mother in a better mental position and that she can begin taking care of her and her chid properly.
Ideally, they need to live in a supervised accommodation, I don't think the mum has the mental capacity to carry on living completely independently.
she doesnt even have toys or art or many clothes, she must smell bad from roaches and no bath. idk why they didnt use the perfectly good bed, maybe there was too many roaches there for some reason. just heartbroken what sone children have to live like bcus their parents dont care enough to sort themselves out to not live in utter filth and hovels 😢
@@IbieB That is probably why she asked that her toys be saved during the cleaning. That is all she has.
Unfortunately, I don't think the mother will change without help. But at least this child will know what a clean home looked like for a week. She now has a vision of what a clean place looks like.
It's so sad, you can see that the little girl tried to stuff her mess under the bed
Where was the mom working in they house?
You said you're not an angel, but you are! Leaving something for the Mom to do is healthy. You take this on for the love of cleaning and because you care about people. A+++ motivation and follow through! ❤❤❤
Auri, I've been a fan of yours for months now and have seen all your videos and already adore you immensely...but this house you cleaned was a new level. You are a living, breathing angel helping these people the way you do. I grew up with a single mom and three siblings, and due to our mother's state of mind and alcoholism, our house or apartment was always in a horrendous state. I had friends who would come over to help me clean every now and again. It always meant so much to me, even then, though especially in hindsight. What you are doing for these families, especially children, is huge. I remember being a child and thinking I wasn't good enough because I didn't have clean spaces like other people. I strongly believe these dirty environments are representations of how these individuals feel about themselves...a representation of their self worth at that time. By giving them the non-judgemental help that you do, I strongly believe you are helping their souls more than you know; perhaps especially the children.
God bless you, Aurikatariina
This woman is straight up lying. There is no way she lets a child live like this and will suddenly just run out and buy a new fridge and couch and beds.
This child should not be living here at all.
I thought the same thing. She's not going to buy shit. The neglect going on here is horrific
@@paprika7577 ja, alles dort ist lieblos und leer, nachdem der Müll weg ist
Well, I kinda see there was no point buying more/new stuff while everything was a dump. Just as a possible explanation.
Sure the child deserves better. But so do many. And the US has very poor social services. To think, elsewhere would be better, just based on this messy home, is sadly wishful thinking.
@@AmarisFredeits not just a messy home
Only thing she needs to do is call CPS. This is straight up child abuse!
Thank God for you helping these 2 out and giving them a fresh start I’m shocked the child was not taken away… it’s heartbreaking ❤️🩹 they lived like that for so many years
Now I hope it will all be better especially the 13 year old ❤
She is doing it, not god. Keep your beliefs to yourself.
Marvelous job in each and every video. The cleaning is so satisfying. Thanks for explaining the various aspects of your cleaning so clearly in the videos
Thank you so much 🙌🏻☺️🩷
Cockroaches carry over 50 types of diseases. Even the toys need cleaned, my heart ACHES for this child.
I don’t believe her at all when she says she will be getting a new fridge, couch and beds. I think she is just saying what people want to hear because she knows if she doesn’t people will have something to say.
I bet she got donations like crazy for this family
@@lacysoney6949 you’re probably right
I’m going to be positive here, at least she asked for help. She is a working mom also. She probably feels extremely overwhelmed and depressed. I am so happy Auri helped her in the right direction. I hope the mom can do the upkeep and realize she has value and worth. ❤
She didn’t ask for help her child did!!!
positivity shouldn't be delusional. The child asked for help.
I think she's a terrible person. Not because of the mess, not at all! I don't judge when it comes to however dirty the house is, i keep it minimally judment free when it comes to the dirt. I think she's horrible for making her child reach a level where she sleeps SITTING down a COUGH. This is super fucked up. At that point, she should've used her child's discomfort as a motivator to do better. Sure, everything esle is already horrible, but that had to be the breaking point to literally see your child sleep in such a way, and for years too. Mind blowing to me. I don't wish anything well to the mom, I find her to be disgusting (literally too). I just hope she can do better at least (but I doubt it, as others mentioned). the only person I feel so bad for is the child. POOR THING.
Strongly suggest you check up on this mother in a while to see if she followed through at all in extermination of the pests, buying new furniture etc. Lots of promises, but someone who is prepared to put her own kid through that is generally NOT reliable or honest in her intentions or able to form new, good habits.
Sadly, I was thinking the same thing.
Part of me also wonders whether she actually still lived in the place, or was getting this cleaning done so she could vacate a lease.
Checking up on the children because this mother has too many issues. No child should be forced to live like this.
I couldn't agree more. It's not healthy for a child not to be able to sleep in a bed. Definitely the two of them need some sort of counseling because I can only imagine traumatizing living this way
I completely agree. I don’t trust the mom to follow through.
Great job! You asked about why there weren’t cockroaches everywhere in all the businesses. Most businesses in warmer clients pay for exterminators to treat monthly. Otherwise there would be cockroaches everywhere. I hope that helps!
And most people clean their home daily.
Yes, roaches are like mice or any other pest. if you don’t leave sources of food for them around and if you use poison or traps you usually won’t have a problem. You may have a few but not an infestation.
@elizabethwoodley4340 yeah, but roaches can live off of the glue in furniture and walls, they can eat cardboard and paper... with those kind of roaches in a climate like southern florida, you need regularly scheduled pest control visits. I wouldn't recommend living in a condo.
I cant believe that you’re cleaning for free and people are still arguing if you don’t buy a new furniture or something, God bless you for real cause this is a really hard thing to do❤
Auri, dont feel so down about those who tell you "you should've done more", "you didn't do this and that". Those people are probably new to your channel!
Cleaning and organising can be very therapeutic. It helps me feel like I'm in control of my life or situation plus everything is always better clean rather than dirty.
Right?
Exactly!
So true! I have health issues that make it difficult for me and it's particularly difficult to take out the garbage where I live but my house is NO WHERE near like this by any means. These videos motive me and also help me to not feel like such a failure. At least I still try and don't have mountains of garbage everywhere not even in bags or cockroach infested.
@E.C.Animation if you live in an apartment you might ask a neighbor to take it out when they take theirs...or if you have a fireplace burn the paper cardboard and any paper packaging. Hugs praying yo feel better soon.
Thank you for the well wishes. I do not live in an apt though. It's more the edge of nowhere and the garbage has to go 1/4 mile up a steep hill and I don't have a car or anyone but my dog and a sled or cart to help take it there and it can only be done on one particular day otherwise bears, crows and other animals get into it. So if I don't feel well enough that day that week it doesn't get done. I also can't burn it due to allergies. So I put any food waste that's safe out for wild animals to eat. Most of the garbage is literally cardboard boxes which the garbage pickup won't take in winter since it all has to be in plastic bags due to frost laws. But most of the boxes won't fit in a bag lol I put the rest of the garbage in bags and keep it in the garage to take out when I can so it's not in the house. It's also super cold here so there aren't roaches so much. :) @@sellyourhomenowbook
Just an fyi Auri, that type of mattress is called a euro-top and isn't supposed to be flipped. The dirty side is the only side you are supposed to sleep on (which is why I don't buy one). I don't blame you for flipping that one though, it was bad! But you can also buy mattress protectors where you buy sheets that will cover up the dirty side :) LOVE YOU!!!!!
It’s also called a pillow top. I have one too. They seem a great idea until you end up with an uneven mattress and can’t even flip it to prolong the life of it lol. Best you can do is rotate it.
and she also left some roaches under the mattress...
@@ParisAntarktisoh well she can’t chase them all down. There will be plenty of roaches crawling all over the bed. The mother can buy a mattress topper and call an exterminator.
@@ParisAntarktis I think they were gonna get under there regardless whether Auri killed them or not. They can’t do anything about the roaches. That’s a professional exterminator job, even if they killed a hundred, there’s probably a thousand living in every nook, cranny, in that wall (look at the walls with holes - they’re in there for sure).
Let’s face it, “Nicole” and “Rihanna” have been living in far worse - they’re sleeping on a manky bogging couch every night, so at this point I don’t think it’s going to bother them if a roach or two is under the mattress. They’re more than aware of worse at this point.
Hopefully by now they’ve seen an exterminator but something tells me that house will never be free of them.
Like Auri said “it’s better than nothing”.
I love the time clock. It helps seeing that it can be done and long it takes. It makes it seem less intimidating. Gives hope. Thank you.
honestly it makes me relieved to hear it takes you hours to clean. i always thought it didn't take you long so i always felt bad about myself for taking so long. i agree with the idea of adding a timer!
Great job I love that you are cleaning houses in the USA. I think it’s actually harder the way the houses are set up that in Europe since we don’t have drains on the floor! This was a great video!
I think the floor drains are more of a Finnish thing. I’ve never seen it elsewhere in Europe. And I live in germany, been to Netherlands, Belgium, France, Austria and switzerland
Yes I wish floor drains were more common!
Unless it’s regional, I’ve only seen floor drains in industrial and commercial bathrooms in the US, never residential
In Brazil we didn't use to have those in the past but now many bathrooms have drains and it's super helpful
I’ve seen a few in London, UK residences but not many. It may depend on when it was built.
@@SuperAblablaI think a lot of homes in Japan and China have this as well.
Dawn and white vinegar 50/50 is best natural cleaning solution for me, since I’m allergic to chemical cleaning solutions. Thank you for another great video 😊
I though Dawn was chemical. I use natural all purpose cleaner, and liquid soap to clean mostly everything in the house. I still haven't tried the vinegar.
@@mirnamerced8685 You’re correct. I meant I’m allergic to heavy odor cleaning solutions like ammonia and bleach for heavy stains somehow Dawn’s smell doesn’t bother me.
You do wonders and you give people a real helping hand when they are down. I hope you never let the negative people get to you. What you do is amazing.❤
Yes! The resident needs to take the steps to do what they can after your generous gesture, or else the home will just fall into the same condition over time without the resident making changing themselves. My loving and kind mother helped me clean my home when I was really depressed, and time after time it would get horrible again until I had to re-clean for days. Once I made my own changes, I was able to keep a clean home! You’re inspirational and so motivational with your positive attitude, thank you!!!
You do not have to justify or explain yourself!!! You do what you can and you ARE an angel for doing what you do!!!!!! We love you, you are amazing and wonderful!!! Thank you!!!! 💖💖💖💜💜💜🩵🩵🩵🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍🌟🌟🌟👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I've been watching your vids for a while now and I can totally see how much you do for people with a non-judgemental, positive attitude...and FOR FREE! You are doing such an amazing work & people still expect you to do more... these must be new viewers who don't know much about cleaning lol.. maybe they should start a RUclips channel buying/thrifting new furniture for these people and see how hard it can be. Anyways sorry to hear you getting hate comments...but know that we see and appreciate all the hard work you do for these people and changing their lives.
Youre right, you aren't responsible for buying anything, or for throwing out their furniture. Its crazy anyone thinks thats your responsibility.
The addition of the timer is a great idea Auri! Its a great reminder that in reality it took much longer to clean the space than what we saw in the clip. Love it.
It makes me angry that people criticize you. You are amazing and what you do for people is extremely enabling and therapeutic. You are generous and kind, sweet and humble. I wish healing journeys for all your clients.
The schools have extermination plans, the classroom is cleaned daily and trash (err, trashes) are removed from the building daily. Those roaches are sustained by all that trash. They also love cardboard. If this is an apartment building, the common areas are treated for pests.
I LOVE the timer idea! It helps people like me know how much time and work goes into it. Speeding up the videos makes it look so fast and easy haha!
Hey I wanted to thankyou for the motivation you gave me to see my mom and help her clean her house. I am a role model to my little sister and I am hoping she sees my helping my mom as not a chore, but a favor because we love family unconditionally. I admire your mentally and approach to this. It helps me and many other people gain confidence to better their lives. :)
I love that you're willing to help others in so many situations. God Bless you. You're an inspiration. Your helping others by showing on the screen what tools you use. Your turning something negative to something positive. Thank you again for all that you do. I think its a great idea to put the time it takes you to clean ❤️
Baby, you are an angel!!! I don't care what anyone else has to say. There's no denying the impact you make in these people's lives after seeing the before and after of these places. May God continue to bless you and bless others through you!
About roaches, since you're not from here: If you keep your house clean, you won't have roaches. If you keep dishes done and your food stored properly, then no problems. IF a few roaches come into a clean home, they came from outside or a nearby house, and you can immediately spray to keep them from staying and multiplying. They only stay if they have things to eat (food and garbage). Same with grocery stores. They HAVE to keep things clean. If they do, no roaches. But grocery stores and restaurants especially have to keep a close eye to prevent them. When we first moved into our home, it was evident that there had been some cockroaches from the former owner, and we had to battle them (not many) for a few weeks. But they have NEVER come back and we have lived in this house for almost 30 years now.
Do tell!!
OMG so many roaches. What a transformation! I am sure that the lady and her daughter were thrilled. I am impressed with what you do for all these deserving people. A job well done keep up the good work.
My mother was German and my father was retired Air Force. I can tell you we were the cleanest people on the street. You’re so kind and I’m judging with these people that have unfortunately these type of issues. Keep up the good work you’re helping so many and giving courage to even more people.🎉
Being able to clean better or more than some others doesn't make one even a bit better person.
@@LadyAurora10 abusing your child forcing to live in a space lake THAT - yep, this making they worse persons. WAY worse than normal ones.
@@LadyAurora10doesn't though?!isn't better to be able to do these stuff and don't force a child to live with cockroches?!I don't know..we are not here to judge of course but I personally prefer a person who does it not my 13 years old scrolling tictok finding solution for my problems
@@ghazalmirani1445 It seems that many commenters are here EXACTLY just for judging, and nothing else.
They don't have any clue about depression or other challenges people might suffer from, NOR do they care to learn anything.
Germans are very clean and organised. It’s a cultural trait possibly
Oh, Auri!! What a beautiful job you and your brother did😊!! I feel so sad to think of that little girl having lived like that for so long. Probably never even realizing what clean looked like or felt like. I can imagine the looks of happiness on the faces of the Mom and the daughter to see the amazing, amazing work you did. ❤️ Well done!! ❤
Она не мать ,ребенка жалко (
@@Petersburgian3427 can't decipher your response. Not my language
You do more than enough for these people. It’s a huge start for them to continue, and I’m sure they’re happy and that’s all that matters ❤
You are so incredible, doing such a wonderful work. Don't worry about the bad comments. Some people lives outside of reality. If you give a hand, they will complain and ask for your arm.
Auri, you have outdone yourself. What an awesome job you and your brother did.!!! Thank you for helping this Mom and daughter. I can only imagine how grateful they are. I hope this mom can get an exterminator in after all the food and trash is cleared out. You are amazing.❤❤❤❤❤
Auri, you have been cleaning for a long time and you are very good at it. I am sure that you also know a better than a lot of viewers what to throw away and what not to throw away. You know how long each task takes. It's easy for some people to sit and watch your videos and criticise what you do or don't do, but they are not there with you to see behind the scenes! You just keep going; you are helping so many people in need!
This makes me so sad. I am so glad you were able to help and I hope they are both okay. You're amazing and what you do is amazing.
The lint trap alone could cause a fire!!! Auri you are a miracle worker❤
Yes if the dryer is gas the vent needs to be checked as well
@@Robbie-mw5uu I think it also applies to electric dryers. My sister's husband cleaned their dryer vent, and TONS of lint came out (they sent me pics).
it’s actually amazing how she does this as a hobby! she actually enjoys cleaning! i love her for that and she does it for free!❤
Whenever I’m cleaning something and feel disappointed at the result at the end of it, I always tell myself that it’s better than it was I can continuously maintain so it gradually gets cleaner and cleaner😊 it’s not always about doing the best clean job, sometimes its just about maintaining the area so it does not become overwhelming
Wow! You and your brother are amazing. I feel so sorry for anyone living in those conditions. Hopefully they will keep it up now that it’s clean.
You do not deserve any hate comments😭you're doing amazing work every time!!it is the house owners'/tenants' fault!i do not understand why people send you hate at all
Noones hating the cleaner.
@@texasktea she mentioned it in the video!!
Auri please dont let the haters get to you, you do more than enough and for FREE as well, you are helping these families with a fresh new start at rebuilding their life and I think that's amazing to do it for free and with such a positive attitude as well ❤ I'm so proud of this mothing for saying she will take responsibility and get new beds and a new fridge and i hope she follows through (also $1,400 a month for that apartment!? thats cheap compared to the insane apartment prices where i live where a smaller looking apartment could cost yo to $2,000)
I agree with you. You do so much. It is necessary for the owner to have a part in taking steps to be responsible and be proactive on their end with improving their living spaces. What you do is far plenty and more than enough. ❤
Don’t let anyone’s comments discourage you! What you do for people is amazing!!
How to make Aurikatariina happy : trashes, dirt, mold and crockroaches 😂
YES PLEASE
lol
Don't forget the tea! 🫖
😂
It would help if you could actually speak and write proper English. Auri gets it wrong all the time, but she is not an English speaker in the first place. You are. Trashes is a verb like "Auri's friend trashes her own apartment". What Auri should be saying is 'trash' when refering to what she is doing, and you should have just said 'trash'. I am not American but an Australian and we use the proper English spelling for mould, but you can be forgiven if you are American on that. Crockroaches, that is not a word. You mean cockroaches.
Dearest Auri you are an angel. Pay no mind to those haters. Sending you love and light from Holland 🌷
You are an Angel for those who need help. I am glad you are helping people.
Actually, I am convinced that you are INDEED an angel. Even without buying new furniture 😉 Seeing you work is so motivational. I learned real cleaning from you and never was my flat so tidy and clean ^^
You are doing such good work. You are totally right when you said the home owner also needs to help from here and take responsibility in getting new fridge and furniture.
Haters will always hate and have something negative to say.
Keep up the amazing things you do!
I love your videos and the positivity you have towards yourself and the world. 🎉
This is absolutely heartbreaking children have to live in this environment. I couldn’t ever imagine putting my child through this. You really are amazing Auri I bet the little girl is really grateful. Poor thing.
The timer idea is awesomee :) because otherwise it looks like it is so easy and fast to clean
I say something similar to "it's better than nothing?" I say "it's better than it was?" You do an amazing job on your cleans 😊👍
Maybe someone in the Miami area will see this and recognize who this is. Auri would lose the ability to clean for people if they thought she would “turn them in” to social services. She is giving them a chance to start over, but it is not the ultimate solution, as Auri probably knows. Roaches don’t appear in schools and stores because they are sprayed to keep them under control. If the mom and girl leave the house during the day, they can spray to kill back the infestation.
That mother needs intervention 😮
most certainly a methhead
Yes, I pray they accept some help. That bug infestation is dangerous, and they deserve to sleep in a safe clean bed.
I cannot believe that this was not reported to a agency to help that child this is abuse
Agreed. Something is going on with her mentally.
Hopefully, Auri's help has made a positive difference in the home. But, yes, someone needs to check on them regularly and make sure the home is safe. I imagine that the fear of legal and custody issues prevents a lot of people from accepting help.
I started buying scrub daddy because of Aurikatarina! Just because they sponsor you Auri!! I love you so much!! Love from Mexico!!
You truly are a real life hero 💗 Cleaning also makes me happy. My father and I have occasional arguments because he's s a hoarder and an alcoholic, it's really hard to deal with him. Me I want to live a minimalist lifestyle 😅 Once I get myself together, I'll probably move out and never buy unneeded items, nor will I ever keep rubbish.
First off, I love you Auri! I love what you do for people is amazing. But please please tell this family to get therapy.. this is beyond needing cleaned, this is a serious mental health crisis 😢 I can't imagine living around that many roaches... heartbreaking
I think your are doing an amazing job and ultimately its not ur responsibility to buy new furniture for them... this way the house gets a deep cleaning and then the residents can buy the style of furniture that suites their needs and style etc.... keep up the amazing work ❤❤❤
Aurikatarina, I love your name! And, I love to hear you say it.
What you have done for this family is amazing. The child will remember you forever!❤! Thank you so so much 💗
U are truly an angel Auri. Keep doing what u love. U save lives of many people by giving them a vlean home❤❤❤ Sandre is ❤❤❤
This is child abuse! No fridge, no bed! No shower! She isn't being a mother!
This is abuse and neglect of that poor little girl. I'm sure her mom is suffering and struggling, and I feel for her I really do. But that child needs to be removed from this environment. I'm amazed that officials at school didnt notice that she hadn't had access to a shower or clean clothes. I almost never advocate taking children from their parents, but in this case I think the mom has demonstrated that she's incapable of taking proper care of her daughter. I know she probably wants to, but she can't. Someone needs to do something about this
I think they coped… the washing Maschine seemed to be working and the dryer was used. The sink in the bathroom had a cup they might have used to wash themselves - and it seemed relatively clean. I saw people without a home going to the cemetery’s restroom to make themselves respectable before going to work. They probably hide as much as they can. Well, the cockroaches hiding in bags and clothes are something different…
Thank you to you brother for helping you and be by your side!!! He is the perfect brother for you Auri 🩷🩵
You are amazing, there is no way I would step foot in that apartment. My heart breaks for the child that had to live there. Cockroaches like dirty places. i’m 50 years old, and I have never had cockroaches in any home that I lived in.❤
I waited for this video all week, checking every day until it was there! Good job, guys! Under all that trash and all the bugs, I was so sorry to see the holes in the walls, need for new paint, etc. I do hope that the building management jumps in to do repairs after you finish cleaning! Also, this mother obviously needs psychotherapy, because she must be extraordinarily depressed to raise a child in that mess. I was so glad to hear that she is employed, so at least some money is coming in.
Please, please, Mom: For your daughter's sake, keep the place clean after Auri and her brother leave! If you let the place slip even a little, it will be as bad as it was before they came to help!
And Auri, you and your brother are angels. Not many people would continue to work after discovering all the cochroaches. I'm not sure I could. Your desire to help is exceptional.
Very happy that your brother was there to help
Cockroaches love warm climates to breed and of course a food source. Also stuff lying around encourages them to nest in the trashes. (😂) It is usual in warm climates to have your house treated for pests at least once a year, that is why you don’t see them everywhere else. If you have a food source, trashes (😂) a warm climate and no pest control you have a perfect storm for infestation. Love your channel Auri Kateriina
Hi Auri
Beautiful clean you and your brother are a blessing. Thank you for sharing.
Seeing filthy homes with kids living in them is really hard to watch, but it makes the kindness even more important! I have no idea how they tolerate the roaches climbing on them at night, that poor child will have nightmares if roaches when she grows up.
These roaches are too much... Respect for your brave soul. No amount of money could make me enter this flat 😭
Wow! Auri isn’t getting paid from the person either. It’s FREE.
@@bridgwll yes, but her sponsors and the views on RUclips and TikTok, make her a millionaire
@@jodischoolcraft9188 Auri deserves every penny she makes. She does for others what they won't or can't do for themselves. I couldn't do what she does no matter how much money was offered. I skip over the toilet cleanings because I gag just looking at it. I hope Auri is a multi, multi-millionaire. She works damn hard for it.
@@jodischoolcraft9188she did it for free for a long time before it was even monetized, because she WANTS TO HELP.
No 💩
Auri - you have done so much for this momma and her daughter! We can imagine the joy and comfort you have brought to them. This will help to clear momma's cluttered mind and the child can bathe and be clean for school after a night on new sheets in a real bed! She will hold her head higher. Such messes create anxiety, depression and hopelessness and you are an angel for relieving them of this burden. I am sorry that so many of these posts are so negative. It is not a nice welcome to the US.
Don't listen to the hate comments about the couch. You can only do so much. You can't do it all. You got the home to the point where the mom could get some new furniture and give her daughter a better life. You get the person to the point where they can start helping themselves. And if people are that worried about it, they can always donate the furniture themselves.
Good thing in USA is Goodwill stores and Salvation army when you get in situations when you have apartment with absolutely ruined furniture you can buy some for less than 50$.
I hope that residents will read this comment and check the thrift stores 😊
It's one thing if an adult wants to live that way. Child services should be called.
Auri your my life saver because everytime i watch you u bring my stress out and you let me fell sleep easily and i dont finish the video i watch it the next day and next day i always be excited to continue the video i appreciate your sweetness and kidness to people who really need your help thank you auri ❤❤❤
I have a roach phobia. A roach can live off a 10 in strand of hair for 1 year. General cleanliness won't stop someone from getting roaches, but it will help to see a problem before it gets too large, potential entry points, and nesting areas in the home. In America, the further south with high humidity climate, the higher chance of roaches getting into a home. I live in central Florida, and we do DIY monthly chemicals in and around the house to catch it before it starts. It largely works, although one of the jumbo roaches will slip in every once in a while, especially during the rainy season. The best one we use, in my opinion, is the one that has a reproductive inhibitor, which doesn't allow them to have babies.
Idk why people don’t get it that you “CLEAN HOUSES”! You don’t renovate or redecorate!
Не у всех достаточный уровень интеллекта, очевидно.
I really hope the Mum does go and buy new furniture like a fridge, couch and bed. Or even get second hand stuff.... it seems unlikely since it was the child who reached out to start with for some help 😢
I hope she is finally able to see that she needs to just pick up the trash once a week. Picking up and taking out the trash once a week makes a huge difference in a space.
I think people want you to buy furniture, just so that we can see the transformation immediately. It is so satisfying to see a clean house completeted with new, fresh furniture! But that is not your job, you are doing amazing with the cleaning! ❤️
That toilet bowl cleaner might have been a crappy brand. I’d recommend Lysol. Or CLR (calcium, lime, rust) for extreme hard water stains. Also that couch definitely needs burned 😂 I saw someone say this last week but you need better PPE when cleaning roach infested homes!
Also, a pumice stone is a good way to get rid of the crust in the toilet.
It looked awfully watery, didn’t it? Needed something thicker that wasn’t just going to run off the mess, it needed something viscous to sit there and eat through for a bit.
But the cleaner she used worked so that's all that matters
I use dollar tree toilet cleaner and it does fine, but then again I regularly clean my bathroom so it doesn't matter if it's dollar store quality if I clean often.
@@1justbritt that stuff was so thin that 98% of it was in the water in the first five seconds, it wasn’t clinging and therefore, wasn’t breaking down any of the limescale. The fact it “worked” is more to do with her constant scrubbing and chipping away at the grime with cleaning tools more than the liquid product.
Use a product that’s thin like that in your loo, you’re basically just paying for a very expensive coloured flush. It’s doing little.
