I think the mother could really help her son by vastly reducing the amount of clothes he has- in consultation with him of course. If he only had four or five pairs of pyjamas instead of twenty five he’d stand a chance of being able to manage them himself. He’s got far too much to expect that he’ll fold them and put them away in a small room.
You're not wrong. When I release the other two videos of this home and tell more of this family's story, I think you'll understand they have a lot on their plate, but they are working hard to get things under control. That would definitely help him manage things better though, to get rid of some stuff, I totally agree. 😊
You might be the exception but alot of cleaners set the laundry aside for the homeowners to do. May I suggest that they sort the clothing before they put it away with toss and donate categories or seasonal storage.
My brother has ADHD. I always had to clean his room as a kid. I find your videos so satisfying! I come from generations of hoarders. As an adult I’ve fought this fight and won. Every season change I try to go through a room to make sure I don’t fall into hoarding. It’ll be a life long struggle but worth the fight. I’d never want to leave my children with a hoard to clean up when I die. Thank you for all you’re doing to help people.
As a grandmother of 5 young men, 17-28, the boy needs to learn , working alongside with you how to clean and organize his room. He will most likely go back to his previous mess . 2 of my grandsons have adhd, and just need to focus and stay on task until job is completed. You are such a lovely person to help him and others.
Thanks for helping so many people with ADHD like this teenage young man. Glad he has a job which can help him learn adapting skills. For this room I would suggest a good decluttering with his mother. Then I would find some good under-bed plastic storage units to store many smaller,. lighter things to free the bookcases for his collections and books. Also it looks like his bed should be against the wall with the tall bookcase moved down the wall. Then maybe just a small table or nightstand by the bed to share with the easy chair. This would make the room seem more spacious. Blessings from central Georgia.
His ADHD is made worse because of all the stuff he has in his room, giving him sensory overload,. All this clutter causes analysis paralysis. I'm glad his job is helping him as he really needs life skills now versus going into adulthood and facing bigger issues. Thank you for what you do!
I had never heard the term "neurodivergent" until today. That is a great word to describe those who don't fit the typical mold. I think everyone should know this word. Thanks for teaching me!
My daughters share a room and both have adhd and I understand the struggle for them to keep it clean and organized. I also have adhd but I also have OCD so I am extremely organized so it’s a struggle to help them keep their space under control. I help them once a month to deep clean their room and try to teach them but it’s still hard. My 3 boys take after me and their bedrooms are immaculate. ADHD really is difficult and takes time to learn how to manage it. Glad you were able to help him get it under control, I’m sure it was a sigh of relief for him, and his mom lol
A mom's love! You cleaned and organized not only his room but his peace of mind. You truly made a difference. His room is larger than it originally looked as well. What a very kind thing to do for your son, with adhd. He will appreciate it big time! You motivated me to do the same now! My son has many issues, along with adhd, so it would really help his psyche too. Great job!
Thank you so much! I love to hear other people's stories and of their struggles too as I think the more people share, the more others don't feel like they are alone in the struggle. Good luck with helping your son! Much love!❤
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp I ended up cleaning most of his room, yay! He appreciated it so much. At 22, he suffers with anxiety, depression, avoidance disorder and more. Finally found a medication that seems to be working, besides the Vyvanse, now a shortage! Yikes, Lol. Thanks again for the motivation, and good luck with your son as well!
Bear Lake (bare lake?) Looks beautiful - does it have lots of bears 🐻? You did a fab job, what a difference, I love how you put stuff on coat hangers, very efficient. Tfs xxx
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp tbh I think I'm more scared of moose then bears! I saw a video of a huge moose chasing a black bear in and out of a river - the bear actually crashed it's way through a plate glass window to get away. Fortunately bears and moose are pretty scarce in the UK, so I think I'm safe lol.
@sarahwilks2413 I know. They are beautiful, but can be so scary! I guess the question is, would you rather be stomped to death or ripped to pieces? I think moose probably are slightly scarier just because they aren't as easy to scare away where Bears will usually leave you alone unless you startle them unexpectedly, have food that they want, or you come upon a mom trying to protect her cubs. My husband has gone to Alaska 3 times to do some fishing there and there were bears everywhere. They weren't at all interested in the humans because they had plenty of fish.😊
Thank you!! 😊 I noticed you also have a channel where you clean houses for free. I love it! I hope this free cleaning for people with mental health issues or other difficult circumstances really catches on all over the world! The world needs more compassion and understanding. Thank you for showing that! I have subscribed to your channel! Thanks for being here!
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp Yeah, it would be awesome if we could make a worldwide chain of people showing love to others by cleaning. Everybody deserves a clean home 🩵 I will keep on following you and supporting you! Thanks friend 😘
@colinecleans That is my hope as well! Good luck with your Channel! I will mention you in my next video to try to drive some traffic to your channel as well. Keep up the great work you do!❤️❤️
I love and hate boxes 🤣 I do use them to put away stuff but apparently what went into a box is like 80% chance lost forever, I never remember to go back to it 😅 it's especially bad if you have a storage room where that goes, completely out of sight 😅
You cleaned and organized the room but it will be back to a mess on no time. I was really hoping for tips to help the teen manage their own stuff. I think the comments here about having less stuff is probably the key.
You are doing so much for these people, but please as i have mentioned to other cleaners, take care of your back while you are young, I havent learnt this❤
This probably wouldn't be the best time to mention that I have actually already had back surgery six years ago. Yikes...I know! I have had back problems since my teenage years and it still hurts when I overdo it, but I also have learned a lot of techniques that help to keep it "tuned up." Thank you for your concern. Once my channel grows to a point where I can hire a couple of people to come help me, I will definitely do that because I know I can't keep up this pace forever!
Another perfect video👌 It's beautiful and commendable how you helped the boys feel better. I really respect you for what you do, you are great❤ I am already looking forward to your next cleaning🙂 Thanks for the motivation, I'm going to clean and organize😉
You did so good! I was completely overwhelmed when I saw the state of that room. Great job. By the way; There is something mesmerizing to watch clean clothes being folded and put away.
congratulations you are a great person, in my opinion I consider the teenager needs to learn to let thing go; if he already read those books he should donate them otherwise he is going to become a hoarder. more than 2 typewriters i see it as a hoarding. hopefully the teen appreciate your job and continue keeping his bedroom clean and organize.👍👍👍💯💯
Nice work. For me I do not like to watch you do your work twice but from a different angle.But I others like it do not change it. I would have liked to see you put the 2 in a mix. It is more work but for me more pleasent to watch.
I totally get this. I have been trying to figure out how to mix it better without repeating so much content. In my latest video I feel like I did a little better job with that, but hopefully I can figure out a way to do a picture and picture type of thing where you are seeing it from two different angles without repeating things. I appreciate the feedback. I will work on that for sure.😊❤️ I also want to refer people to your comment who are really rude about giving criticism and tell them, "this is how you do it to be more effective." You made me want to actually listen to you because it was constructive criticism and not just "I hate the way you do this, blah blah blah." So thank you for that!!🥰
I think I'm eternally grateful that I grew up poor, never really had to deal with too many possessions and for some reason that habit carried through to adulthood. Well, I had one bad habit, my mom never had full sets of anything so during my mid-20s thru mid-60s I had sets of dishes (everyday, Easter, Christmas, and Japanese) and sets of glasses, cups, stemware, flatware, pots and pans, but I've gotten over that and have decluttered down to a minimum (for me) of one daily set (6 place settings) dishes, same with glasses and cups. Got rid of all my baking pans because every store has a bakery. LOL! Last left is my collection of Hall teapots, what to do what to do...
It really is so freeing to not have so much stuff. I don't think most people realize how much of their life is taken up by just taking care of all the stuff they have. Good for you!
My mom was a box-saver too. She had literally dozens of all different sizes stored in the basement. Came in very handy at Christmas time for wrapping presents, but by the time we got around to using many of them, they were too filthy to use. Yipes! 😊
Found you through MMC and have been binge watching your videos today. :) looking forward to watching all of the content from the collab you’re doing this week!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it! So nice of you. 🥰This collab has been really fun so far. Just ended our second day cleaning together and we are just about to jump on to do a live on Mack's channel.🤗
My suggestion for Him : Is to move the bed to 1 side of the room, and put it up against the wall, it would open up space. I would also suggest getting him a closet organizer kit thang; it comes in different options, a very popular one is the one with hanging racks on the ends with shelves in the middle. They even have some that comes with covers to put over the organizer unit. The closet organizer would store all his clothes in 1 place, and could go on the opposite side of the room up against the wall. The White Bookshelf could also go up against the wall along with the closet organizer, with the chair in the corner. Than the lil dresser could be use for blankets or whatnots, or replace it with a desk.
I try to use the homeowner's vacuum since hauling my own around isn't the easiest and I don't want to cross-contaminate between houses with pet hair, etc., so this was a Shark vacuum. I was pretty impressed by it. Wait until you see the video of this same house when I clean the living room and the amount of vacuuming I had to do. This little vacuum did an amazing job, especially after I cleaned out the gobs of hair that was tangled around the brush!
This whole house (there are two other videos of this same house plus the oven cleaning one where I take it apart and don't use oven cleaner to clean it) took me about 45 hours total. This room was about 8-9 hours of that.
Does he have an Underwood?!?!😮 I got to work with an Underwood in university, and I LOVED it!!! Greek language, Shakespeare.....is Michael me? I think I would enjoy chatting with him.
I had to look up what an Underwood was because I wasn't sure what you were talking about. You mean the typewriter...LOL! I'm not sure about that since I apparently don't know enough about typewriters. But it does sound like you would have fun chatting with him.😁
On my way back from a camping trip. I will post a link once I get home. They are Altras, but I'll give you the link for the same ones I'm wearing. I LOVE them!🤗
Here is a link to the exact shoes I'm wearing with the wide toe box: amzn.to/3Oi54zl I just wore them on a couple of hikes while down in Bryce Canyon this last weekend and they were great for that as well... really good traction.
I've tried to teach my boys to do it that way and they never could get the hang of it, so they just hang up one shirt at a time. Maybe I will have to try to reteach them now that they are a little older because it's such a timesaver!
Hi my name is Kelly I am Joe's wife my youngest one has ADHD and he slightly artistic. Is it normal for kids to put things under the beds when I lifted up his mattress? There was so much stuff under his bed he had a crying fit because I took off his Palm patrol sheets. The boys are 5 and 6. I hate the bunk bed. Was i bad for lifting up his mattress?
No, they need to understand the word no, gently at 1st, then keep it consistent. I don't mean no to everything, but when its required, stick with your guns or they will run the house. I found out the hard way. You can give in only if its a special reason, or deserved. Also, have them clean for a period of time, at the same time say 5 days per week. A reward at the end of the week if they finish all 5 days, like go out for Icecream or?? Just ideas, I did a lot of research, its difficult to say no, and they learn how to change your mind if you start giving in. Good luck!
Thank you for replying because I wasn't quite sure how to respond to this as I have never dealt personally with a child who struggles with this kind of thing, so it's nice to get the perspective of someone who has been there, done that! Your advice makes sense!
I don't know what to tell you as every family dynamic is different. I would suggest getting help from an expert/therapist as I don't know enough about how to handle this type of behavior. I'm simply cleaning/organizing to hopefully give people a little lift in their spirits and hopefully help them to feel more at peace so they can work on their mental health. I'm sure there is someone near you who could help and, if the cost is too much, I know there are programs out there to help. Good luck to you!
Ask them to "help" you clean up their rooms. Then they feel like they are a part of the process. I would do organizing several times a month. I would get them started on a weekly cleaning routine. They need to participate!!! All kids need to learn cleaning and organizing early so they don't have more problems later on in life. It can be very hard with "teens" because they are set in their own ways by then. This is also true with DICIPLINE! Everyone needs discipline not just at school but at home also. Even very young children should be taught to put their toys back where they got them. Yes,they should be in a tub or bin for clean up so everyone can walk into the room. If they have a collection it can be kept in their room nicely put in a display they like. Teach them collections are for favorite things not just to buy one every time you see one. Consider the age and disability or the IQ of the child your working with and how they want their belongings. Most importantly-try to make an example of your own personal belongings. Clean and organize areas on a monthly basis. You will be very suprised by how much trash and junk you have somehow acquired. From someone who works with special needs kids of all ages and even adults if they ask for help. ❤ Be patient with yourself and these kids as they are learning from you! Set a good example. 👍
Sorry for the delayed response. I haven't figured out the best way to see the "replies" to comments yet. This is the one I have: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GQT8879/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I tried a different one first, but it didn't work very well. There was a great deal on this one, so I decided to spend a little more for a better mic and it really works well. Super easy to set up, too. It's just a USB plug-in.
I think the mom should get some dark curtains that he can close at night. I am a strong believer in a dark quiet room to sleep in. It might reduce his ADHD too
He was completely aware I was cleaning his room as I had been cleaning at the house for a couple of days before this and knew that his room was one that I was going to clean, so I had full permission from him, and he was thankful for the cleaner space when I was done.
I don't always. Lol! I usually start with trash or gathering the thing that will make the biggest noticeable difference. It's a psychological win and keeps me motivated to keep going. 😊
I wasn't there when he came home because he was at work when I finished up, but his mom told me he was very happy about it and he actually follows the comments on this video to get encouragement to keep it up.😊
My son wears a lot of khakis and chinos because he hates jeans. He has hated the feeling of jeans his whole life. It’s one of the sensory things that comes along with his ADHD. Denim, to him, feels like fingernails on a chalkboard.
I get that. It's why I wear leggings and not jeans a whole lot. I can wear jeans, but it's all about comfort for me. I wouldn't say they feel like nails on a chalkboard, but they are definitely not as comfortable.😊
Nice! I may start traveling further to clean homes in the future. I have a lot of family in Logan and Bear Lake that I could stay with if I ever clean a house up that direction. if that happens, I'll reach out! Thank you!
You did a great job, but this boy needs to be taught some skills and habits unless he wants to end up on an episode of "Hoarders." He can't keep adding objects to a space without removing anything and expect to be able to keep the space tidy. That's just physics. PS Books belong in the bookcase, not in bins. A simple wall-mounted shelf could take care of the tchotshkes.
You are right. The whole family is learning new habits. I will have two more videos of this house actually (the living room and kitchen) because it also needed a lot of work. I'll tell you more of their story when I release those videos. The bin for the books was temporary storage. They are working on getting rid of a bunch of stuff, so I moved those books to an area of the house where they are sorting through stuff and deciding what to keep and what to get rid of. And, definitely, a shelf would be great for the "tchotshkes." I love that word!
I think the mother could really help her son by vastly reducing the amount of clothes he has- in consultation with him of course. If he only had four or five pairs of pyjamas instead of twenty five he’d stand a chance of being able to manage them himself. He’s got far too much to expect that he’ll fold them and put them away in a small room.

There's also the chance that the son will one day watch this video. Hope he reads your comment!
Here’s the thing….you can’t just “get rid of things” it’s a process
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp Also..not nearly enough storage in that room!

helping a neurodivergent teenage boy❤❤❤that's awesome😊

Yes. He was probably extremely grateful, too. Thank you so much Bonnie!
What a tricky layout. I'm so glad you were able to help and clean and reset everything.
Yes it was! I would have loved to rearrange the whole room.

You just answered my previous question, you organize in categories, throwing away garbage as you go.
Wow, that was amazing. Fantastic organizing. I think you could give Marie Kondo a run for her money with your folding skills.
What a nice compliment! I love Marie Kondo! I have always loved doing laundry, but that's where I got my love of folding from.😄❤️👍

@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp I’m planning on being there! It conflicts with a zoom call I have, but I’m going to figure out a way!
Really enjoyed your video thanks for sharing ❤ from England 👍⭐😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Great video
Thank you!
Wow, you are amazing!
Thank you!
My suggestion for Him : Is to move the bed to 1 side of the room, and put it up against the wall, it would open up space. I would also suggest getting him a closet organizer kit thang; it comes in different options, a very popular one is the one with hanging racks on the ends with shelves in the middle. They even have some that comes with covers to put over the organizer unit. The closet organizer would store all his clothes in 1 place, and could go on the opposite side of the room up against the wall. The White Bookshelf could also go up against the wall along with the closet organizer, with the chair in the corner. Than the lil dresser could be use for blankets or whatnots, or replace it with a desk.
Well, I actually know that he reads these comments, so he will see this and maybe take some of that advice. Thank you!
You're so talented!
Aw, thank you.☺️❤️
Great job!
Thank you!
Laundry is my favorite chore because I love my clothes. Washing them and then hanging them up excites me
Me too!❤️
Amazing job!!!
Thank you!
Have his mother give him time for a five minute clean up everyday at the same time.
Just found your channel and subscribed yesterday. Gonna be binging some of your videos. Loving the content! So kind of you to help others out! 🤗♥️
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here!😊🫶
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp thank you!! 🌸
1st world problem : far too many clothes. I would go crazy😵💫
Amazing job 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for another great video. 😊
You bet!
I just love your videos
Aw, thanks so much!!🥰👍
That’s a good box!
LOL!
great work
Thanks!
Very nice
Good video! ❤
Wonderful transformation! What kind of vacuum do you use?
I try to use the homeowner's vacuum since hauling my own around isn't the easiest and I don't want to cross-contaminate between houses with pet hair, etc., so this was a Shark vacuum. I was pretty impressed by it. Wait until you see the video of this same house when I clean the living room and the amount of vacuuming I had to do. This little vacuum did an amazing job, especially after I cleaned out the gobs of hair that was tangled around the brush!
Nice! I love that he collects rock, I used to collect rocks as a child and to this I can't resist a really good one if I'm walking around. 🤭
How many hours did this take you? Loving your videos! 💜
This whole house (there are two other videos of this same house plus the oven cleaning one where I take it apart and don't use oven cleaner to clean it) took me about 45 hours total. This room was about 8-9 hours of that.
Laundry Nerd! T-shirt idea.😊😊😊😊
Love it!!
Does he have an Underwood?!?!😮 I got to work with an Underwood in university, and I LOVED it!!!
Greek language, Shakespeare.....is Michael me?
I think I would enjoy chatting with him.
I had to look up what an Underwood was because I wasn't sure what you were talking about. You mean the typewriter...LOL! I'm not sure about that since I apparently don't know enough about typewriters. But it does sound like you would have fun chatting with him.😁
Hi!
Can you please put a link to the shoes you’re wearing? Thanks!
On my way back from a camping trip. I will post a link once I get home. They are Altras, but I'll give you the link for the same ones I'm wearing. I LOVE them!🤗
Here is a link to the exact shoes I'm wearing with the wide toe box: amzn.to/3Oi54zl
I just wore them on a couple of hikes while down in Bryce Canyon this last weekend and they were great for that as well... really good traction.
Blessigs from Romania!🙏🕊🤍🌹
Thats exactly how I've been doing hangers. Now my teens are doing it same way.
I've tried to teach my boys to do it that way and they never could get the hang of it, so they just hang up one shirt at a time. Maybe I will have to try to reteach them now that they are a little older because it's such a timesaver!
great video! He doesn't seem to have a lot of storage space. I hope he keeps it clean
I hope so too! He is lacking in the storage department for sure. I wish I could buy him some more shelving or drawers or something.
If he watches this, he definitely will try to.
I do that to hang shirts too!
Really really neat😊😊😊
Thank you! 😊
Hi my name is Kelly I am Joe's wife my youngest one has ADHD and he slightly artistic. Is it normal for kids to put things under the beds when I lifted up his mattress? There was so much stuff under his bed he had a crying fit because I took off his Palm patrol sheets. The boys are 5 and 6.
I hate the bunk bed. Was i bad for lifting up his mattress?
No, they need to understand the word no, gently at 1st, then keep it consistent. I don't mean no to everything, but when its required, stick with your guns or they will run the house. I found out the hard way. You can give in only if its a special reason, or deserved. Also, have them clean for a period of time, at the same time say 5 days per week. A reward at the end of the week if they finish all 5 days, like go out for Icecream or?? Just ideas, I did a lot of research, its difficult to say no, and they learn how to change your mind if you start giving in. Good luck!
Thank you for replying because I wasn't quite sure how to respond to this as I have never dealt personally with a child who struggles with this kind of thing, so it's nice to get the perspective of someone who has been there, done that! Your advice makes sense!
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp Oh thank you that helps a little.
Should I tip their mattress to check under the bed?
I don't know what to tell you as every family dynamic is different. I would suggest getting help from an expert/therapist as I don't know enough about how to handle this type of behavior. I'm simply cleaning/organizing to hopefully give people a little lift in their spirits and hopefully help them to feel more at peace so they can work on their mental health. I'm sure there is someone near you who could help and, if the cost is too much, I know there are programs out there to help. Good luck to you!
Ask them to "help" you clean up their rooms. Then they feel like they are a part of the process. I would do organizing several times a month. I would get them started on a weekly cleaning routine. They need to participate!!! All kids need to learn cleaning and organizing early so they don't have more problems later on in life. It can be very hard with "teens" because they are set in their own ways by then. This is also true with DICIPLINE! Everyone needs discipline not just at school but at home also. Even very young children should be taught to put their toys back where they got them. Yes,they should be in a tub or bin for clean up so everyone can walk into the room. If they have a collection it can be kept in their room nicely put in a display they like. Teach them collections are for favorite things not just to buy one every time you see one. Consider the age and disability or the IQ of the child your working with and how they want their belongings. Most importantly-try to make an example of your own personal belongings. Clean and organize areas on a monthly basis. You will be very suprised by how much trash and junk you have somehow acquired. From someone who works with special needs kids of all ages and even adults if they ask for help. ❤ Be patient with yourself and these kids as they are learning from you! Set a good example. 👍
Wow!
Would love to see Idaho!
It's beautiful. Had a great family reunion!
It’s all in the sorting.
Super clean❤
Thank you! 😊
Love it!!
Thank you!!
Beautiful ❤😂🎉
What software do you use for the voice over? ☺
I use PowerDirector to edit my videos and do my voiceovers.
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp And what kind of mic? I did recorded the voice over with my phone, but the quality is horrible... :)
Sorry for the delayed response. I haven't figured out the best way to see the "replies" to comments yet. This is the one I have: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GQT8879/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I tried a different one first, but it didn't work very well. There was a great deal on this one, so I decided to spend a little more for a better mic and it really works well. Super easy to set up, too. It's just a USB plug-in.
Great tidy up
Thank you!
It looks great!
Thanks you!
I think the mom should get some dark curtains that he can close at night. I am a strong believer in a dark quiet room to sleep in. It might reduce his ADHD too
Great job 👏👏 would love to know what the teen thought. Was he upset that someone was going through his stuff?
He was completely aware I was cleaning his room as I had been cleaning at the house for a couple of days before this and knew that his room was one that I was going to clean, so I had full permission from him, and he was thankful for the cleaner space when I was done.
Do you travel for doing these house cleanings if so and also how much hou charge for cleaning a house would like to know
I just noticed that was your comment on the other video asking if I travel to do cleaning. So, again, unfortunately not at this time.😥
How do you know what to do in what order?
I don't always. Lol! I usually start with trash or gathering the thing that will make the biggest noticeable difference. It's a psychological win and keeps me motivated to keep going. 😊
Wow 😍
,Just. Wondering what he thought ,whenthe teen saw the results? U did an awesome job!
I wasn't there when he came home because he was at work when I finished up, but his mom told me he was very happy about it and he actually follows the comments on this video to get encouragement to keep it up.😊
I save all my Apple boxes ❤
Why are apple boxes the best?😁 Probably because they have to be sturdy enough to carry all those heavy apples.
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp 🤣 RIGHT? All those $1800 Apples lol 📱
My son wears a lot of khakis and chinos because he hates jeans. He has hated the feeling of jeans his whole life. It’s one of the sensory things that comes along with his ADHD. Denim, to him, feels like fingernails on a chalkboard.
I get that. It's why I wear leggings and not jeans a whole lot. I can wear jeans, but it's all about comfort for me. I wouldn't say they feel like nails on a chalkboard, but they are definitely not as comfortable.😊
I noticed you're near my neck of the woods, if you ever need help with a house I'd love to assist you.
Really?! Where do you live?
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp cache valley ❤️
Nice! I may start traveling further to clean homes in the future. I have a lot of family in Logan and Bear Lake that I could stay with if I ever clean a house up that direction. if that happens, I'll reach out! Thank you!
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp awesome!
❤️🙏❤️🙏🤗
You did a great job, but this boy needs to be taught some skills and habits unless he wants to end up on an episode of "Hoarders."
He can't keep adding objects to a space without removing anything and expect to be able to keep the space tidy. That's just physics.
PS Books belong in the bookcase, not in bins. A simple wall-mounted shelf could take care of the tchotshkes.
You are right. The whole family is learning new habits. I will have two more videos of this house actually (the living room and kitchen) because it also needed a lot of work. I'll tell you more of their story when I release those videos. The bin for the books was temporary storage. They are working on getting rid of a bunch of stuff, so I moved those books to an area of the house where they are sorting through stuff and deciding what to keep and what to get rid of. And, definitely, a shelf would be great for the "tchotshkes." I love that word!
This room isn’t nearly as bad as my grandson’s room he has ADHD too
