@Aurikatariina if you do not clean out the refrigerator, the roaches will still be there and Apartment Maintenance will not replace the broken fridge. The apartment complex owner's would be fined by the Department of Health & Human Services because a child lives there. Welcome to American politics. 😂
I believe there should be several sponsor supporting you such as heafty trash bags..Drano, Dawn dish, and tide detergent since you use all these products in multiple it's time for them to get back to you!!
@@barbarakosloski9260 the tenant has to manage the fridge problem, Auri gave a huge help already... She cannot solve all the issues, there's some things everyone have to figure out how to get through by themselves when someone has done most of it.
Can you help my mom in Indiana? She’s all alone and her house has become unlivable. There’s a mice problem. She struggles with depression and is facing legal problems due to multiple substance abuse infractions. Her mental health is poor and her home reflects it. I want to help her but it makes me so upset and sick to be in the house for more than 2 hours.. we are trying to find a company to come clean but finances are rough for her since her and my dads divorce and now she’s having to pay for a lawyer. She’s not a bad person but she’s living like she’s not worth life. It breaks my heart.
This is not help.Calling the social services is the real help and having a specialist follow up the mother and child after she leaves.Those terrible situations are not getting magiacally resolved and cured by a cleAner house (and still full of roach nests inside every appliance or wall)
@Katerinoulam1 I disagree, perhaps the mother is ill or disabled as well as having a clean home could give everyone the courage to involve social services. Given the Restroom it appears that 1 of the 5 basic functions to live unassisted is not being met (toileting) but a clean home no matter where or what happens improves things for everyone especially the neighbors.
@@Katerinoulam1sometimes this is the start that someone needs, along with some suggestions or referrals for further help. People need this kind of trust and giving that Aurikaterina provides.
As a native Floridian heres a tip for dealing with roaches. They HATE vinegar and citrus scents. In the roach infested houses I’ve worked on, I used a mixture of white vinegar, dawn dish soap and water. I add 10-15 drops of orange oil into it and use that everywhere.
@@In-house_lawyer personally, I’d do two things: one is a spray bottle for counters and hard to reach places - like in between the oven and counters, behind the fridge, under the fridge, small cracks, and the other is a big bucket of it to mop the floors with
That child needs to be rescued from this situation. Things are not going to change permanently. This is a mental condition and the child is already traumatized from living in this house with this mother.
This has to be reported so that they can give help to the mother. Mentally, she is not normal. It is one thing to be disorderly, but to live with cockroaches, there is something wrong there. Please report that.
You need to mind your business. All she needed was a bit of help. Sometimes depression happens and it keeps us from doing things that we should be doing. I'm sure this will take a huge load off of her shoulders.
@@JadedChameleon Absolutely not. This parent was negligent and abusive to have kept a child living in those conditions and that child needs to be removed. A bit of cleaning will not solve the problem. This is a neurological issue beyond simply cleaning. A parent who is as unfit as that "mother" allowing her child to survive in those conditions should not be a mother.
@@JadedChameleonNope. This is inexcusable for a parent. Imagine being a child, and growing up with piles of cockroaches and garbage around you. This is a completely unhealthy and dangerous environment for a child, especially considering children have weaker immune systems. If you think your mental state excuses putting the people around you in danger, that says a lot about the kind of person you are.
Dear Auri, I never saw any bugs in your videos in Finland. Cockroaches can travel with you in your purse, clothes, shoes, camera bag. Please wear gloves, a head covering, a hazmat suit to protect you from these insects. ❤
Exactly. I am worried for her health. Can she purchase a used fridge for the girl and her mom? Put the self clean on the oven, run the disposal and the dishwasher. It is so easy to find used appliances for nearly nothing. I dont live in Florida but I have an oven, fridge and freezer I am storing. I am sure people would donate used good working appliances if you let people know. Many churches have these and or will find them for this mom daughter. A pest control company will get rid of the roaches permanently if you just call. I am sure with all the support you get and all the YT money, you can afford to hire a person that can set these things up or the home will go back to a garbage can really quickly. Thank you for helping in what ever way you can. If anyone is in Miami, please lets get this little girl a refrigerator and a pest control company.
And these look like German cockroaches too. They are almost indestructible. Just 1 travels back with you and you're screwed. They can hide for a long time without you even knowing until you have an infestation. Please Auri, listen to those of us that know these bugs, take every precaution! That said, thank you for doing what you do!
My heart really goes out to the girl in this house! Who is looking out for her? Teachers, neighbors, friends? She has been so neglected, and deserves so much more! I know foster care isn't likely the answer in this particular situation, but the mother must to be held accountable. She is unable to provide safe and healthy living conditions for her child. There needs to be a social worker that comes and holds the mother accountable, and who can provide resources to help the child.
Totally agree. I find it irrispinsible that with a simple cleaning all this is rolled under the carpet, the mother has serious problems that must be dealt with, the child for sure needs help. If i were katarina i would clean and then call social services in order to follow the family and provide help.We don't even know if they called a disinfection company for the roaches. Their nests are still there, the problem is not gone.
@@Katerinoulam1 See, I would have called CPS immediately upon arrival. The girl was literally unable to open the front door. How could Auri not see from the get-go how dangerous the living conditions were for a child? She likely doesn't want to become involved in the process of reporting them, but if she is filming for views and accolades of encouragement, she should do what is right in these situations instead of worrying about cleaning. Yes, she is volunteering to clean, but there is an obligation to children in these situations, and Auri is way too concerned about filming than doing what really needs to be done. She has looked the other way many many times when children have been living in conditions like these and it's not right. A beautifully clean house is an absolute gift, but the adults in these homes are unable to provide safe and healthy living conditions for their children, and they need long term help.
I agree that the authorities need to be involved, but how do you know she didn't call? She doesn't always have to tell every little detail, maybe she is trying to keep this private for the family. Besides, this is a step in the right direction and what CPS would be looking for to see if the little girl can stay with her mom.
@@TheNikkib324 Maybe she did call! I hope she did. I understand she may not have shared all her methods, but the bottom line is, she profits off of these people and I feel like Auri is more concerned with having these folks trust her so she can clean and make a video, rather than looking at the bigger picture.
@@madzabinga8382 She never gets involved with social authorities, at least that's what she has said for Europe. She doesnot want to lose potential dirty houses to clean if their tenants are afraid she will call the social services. It is crysta clear that she is not interested in the real problems, just to clean and have views and sponsors.
Its really concerning the daughter couldnt get out of the house to meet Auri. What happened if there was a fire and thats the only exit door? I hope social services and help is available for the mother and daughter.
I had a hard time watching this and knowing that a child lives there. The mother is obviously not well and the child needs to be out of this situation. I hope something more than a cleaning is going to happen. The roach infestation is just unbelievable as well.
sadly im not exaggerating when i say this, but my house looks just like the one in the video. I’m 16 and yes there are roaches and rats in the house. It’s comforting to know other ppl are in the same situation as me bc been living like this since i was like 6-7. My mom just doesn’t like to clean and i wish smbdy could help us clean but my dad is embarrassed of it and everytime we attempt to clean, it never finishes. My dad didn’t grow up like that & my ma grew up with struggles and she’s never been too clean tbh. I like watching these vids bc i feel like it could help me maybe clean my whole house myself which idk if that’ll be impossible but i can try. but yes its ppl in these situations sadly and im scared to call cps bc i dont want my parents to be sad. i can still cook & stuff on my stove but i have no oven or microwave and rodents are all over my kitchen and our drawers are so old and rusty that we don’t keep stuff in em so silverware is out in the open and i have to clean it everytime i eat knowing a rat probably ran over it. I could try to clean my whole house but my dad tried before many times and everytime it never gets finished. idk what to do tbh and its really sad but the only person who knows is my bsf. im putting this on the internet bc idk what to do though and if i call cps my parents my lose everything i dont know. im about to be 17 soon and then 18 so ill probably be able to go.
@@xlayamaya_77x 😢 the only thing I can suggest is to try to keep your room, the bathroom and the kitchen clean. You can't take care of the whole house alone if your family is adding to the problem. And for the bathroom and kitchen, do a little bit at a time. And move out as soon as you can, because the adults will try to make you their caregiver and that's not right, you're so young! However, if you have younger siblings, unfortunately you need to call CPS ASAP. Good luck and hang in there!
This breaks my heart!! So sorry you’re growing up in an uncomfy environment. I can relate, but not to this extent. To help, as you get older, please don’t feel the need to be “perfect”. It doesn’t exist ❤️❤️ I wish you a clean environment soon and peace ✨
@@xlayamaya_77xyes agree with valex.. try to keep the necessity rooms like your bedroom, toilet, and kitchen trash-free first. Try to take out as much trash as you can and do not be afraid to throw stuff that you know you won’t use, it will just keep piling up in the end causing your house to look like its messier than it should be. Its a lot better if you could convince both your parents and you could clean up just the trashes for a day where you guys wouldn’t be as busy… I’m sorry you had to go through this at such a young age and has to bear such responsibilities 😢 But if you really want a change, something has to be done, whether its asking for help or doing it little by little. Focus on one thing only. Those trashes are the reason rodents and roaches are living there so start with that first! Then you can move on to clean the sink, tables, toilet, anywhere that you know you will frequently use. If you managed to clean just one of these many things, I assure you that you can go beyond that, though it is easier said than done. However, the result would be worth more once you’ve succeeded! Have you tried talking about these struggles to your parents…? These could also be the first step to tackle these problems…
@@xlayamaya_77xhi, I grew up with a hoarder parent and I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that Filth. Honestly, I’d call them out. IN EVERY WAY. Sometimes it’s the best way to make them change. Unfortunately sometimes it’s the children that have to have the most balls in situations. It’s a shame your dad isn’t stepping up.
You’re so incredibly kind for doing this for this girl and her Mom. Please be careful around the cockroach feces and urine, so much disease. I hope this pushes Mom into having a better life. Clearly there’s mental health issues. 💔
Auri I have to agree with others here. The fridge has to GO! The roaches live in it and under it. Why didn't she report the problem to landlord or property management? They are responsible for getting her a new refrigerator. I'm a renter here in Florida and I had a fridge go out so I contacted my landlord and he brought me a new one. It doesn't need cleaning, it needs to be removed! Thank you for helping people! Welcome to Florida! We love you!🤗❤
I genuinely dont understand how its possible to live in a home like this. How do they eat? They have no fridge or freezer and no food storage? Do they just eat out all the time? How do they use the restroom? Where do they sleep? How do they cope with all the bugs? I dont say this with judgment at all, just actual confusion. Thank for helping these poor people Auri, you give people their lives back ❤
Hoarding like this is a disorder. They don’t live like this on purpose. You saw the dry foods and noodles, along with that they probably eat out a lot or go to the store and buy what they are going to eat that day because it can’t be stored.
I know someone who lives like this and yes it's a mental disorder but they refused to get help and they're so narcissistic they think there is nothing wrong with them they're 15 year old boy lives just like them they literally are two giant cockroaches and live with all the roaches in their house they're like the roach lords😂😂 it's crazy because they move from one apartment to another and they just take the roaches with them and they don't actually try to stop the roaches at this point it's just lazy and disgusting and CPS was even called and they do not care that the child is living in filth also that's in Houston Texas where roaches are so bad but if you actually care you can take care of the problem these people literally just dont care 😮 I watched the father cook a roach into his scrambled eggs and watched him eat it and couldn't tell him for over a year that it happened because he tried to act like I was crazy for not wanting to eat his food dude is an extremely abusive person he abuses his son the state of Texas is broken because they don't save kids that actually need it they out here taking kids from good parents because they're easier to place in the Foster system they don't have as many problems😢
The fast food lifestyle is real. And a single mother in Florida is probably barely making ends meet at a job that doesn’t care about her. Factor in Miami traffic. So, no time to clean or cook.
Damn, can you imagine if there was a fire inside, all the rubbish catches fire and they couldn’t get out with their broken door 🤯 happy for them to have their house cleaned
I almost died when Auri moved the micro and the bugs poured from the back and crawled around. Hope deep cleaning helped get rid of these disgusting creatures.
For anyone dealing with an infestation of this magnitude: 1) First, clean your place up to this degree! We cant all be Auri but hopefully her cleaning tips and poaitive attitude will help inspire ppl to get started 💛 2) Get a powerful insecticide from a pest control place. Home depot bug sprays and raid wont do. An insecticide like Rotox or Temprid for inside or outside use. One bottle is about 40$ but its an annual supply as you dilute the product. Also, buy 3 bottle of Gentrol (10$ per ampoule). Mix the insecticide per direction use and empty one full bottle of gentrol into the insecticide. After the deep cleaning, spray along all baseboards on the inside and outside of the house, inside kitchen cabinets (remove all food products, dishware, and countertop appliances). Put boric acid powder behind the refrigerator, stove, toilet, and bathroom cabinets. Reapply after mopping. This process is repeated monthly! 3) remove all food and water source. Everything goes in plastic bins, ziploc bags, and the fridge. there will be dead roaches everywhere. Do not let open water anywhere. 4) repeat monthly. Spray the kitchen and bathroom biweekly and the whole house monthly. Within six months, if you keep food put away, the roaches should be exterminated. Theres hope if you cant afford professional pest extermination!
Thanks for this! I'm blessed to live somewhere that roaches aren't an issue but when I first moved in it was fleas. Oh man, you ever seen a carpet move like static on an old TV? But yeah, youtube and reddit comments like yours saved my cats' lives and got my house sorted, so thanks for that man. Have the day you deserve
I live in Florida. We don't/ didn't have an infestation, but to avoid one, we bought chemicals off of Amazon and the best one has a growth inhibitor that prevents the bug from having babies. So we use that and an overall industrial strength bug killer We just dilute products and spray monthly. I have a roach phobia, and the scariest are the extremely large ones that fly! Living in conditions like this would affect my mental health.
@@jasminejohnstone1803unfortunately if they don't have other family the US foster system can be worse. Hopefully the mom gets the help she needs but unfortunately with our health care system I doubt it
This is EXACTLY WHY PEOPLE DON'T ASK FOR HELP! My God! The people don't need judgement. That's what keeps them there. Your opinions are mean and hateful to those who are obviously powerless and overwhelmed. The child and mom obviously care for one another. Please do not mock someone's situation. The thought of being separated judged or punished helps create that chaos!
I feel their pain. I grew up with a roach problem when I was a kid. It was super depressing. The roaches would chase after you or crawl in your ears. Make sure they know to sleep with cotton balls in their ears for a while during and after the cleaning.
Hi Auri! I noticed when you are cleaning the kitchen sink, they have a garbage disposal- I believe this is mostly an American thing, so you may not have seen one before. It looks clogged, but there should be a switch on the wall by the sink to turn it on and help unclog it. Run the water while it is on to wash it all down the drain. It makes a loud noise, but breaks down small bits of food to go down the drain. If it is working, it will unclog and drain quickly! Just make sure there isn’t any non-food items in there, like silverware or bottle caps, etc.
And be careful if you put your hand down there because there are sharp blades ! Never put your hands anywhere near it when it’s on and be mindful that the switch won’t get accidentally turned on or anything when you’re cleaning in the drain or there’s no food stuff in the drain
That poor child; if ever children's services needed to be involved. What does she eat? How does she get any nourishment? Mum is clearly mentally ill if she has left her fridge full of rotten food for years, and what if there was a fire, with the door handle broken?! I know that your videos are light-hearted, and that if you went on to safeguard situations like this nobody would come to you for help, but I'm absolutely terrified for this poor girl.
Speaking of fire…thats the first thing I thought of when I saw all that stuff piled on top of the stove. Those stove knobs are easy to get bumped and turned on accidentally. I put my ninja foodie on top of the stove one time and someone pushed it all the way back to where the knobs are. It bumped the knob and turned the burner on. Started to smell something burning and realized what happened. The bottom of my foodie was burned pretty bad. Now I am super observant and careful about stove knobs and make sure nothing can bump into them.

@@xlayamaya_77x lots of hugs to you! It is not an unfamiliar situation to me either... I know it can be tough, and it is nice that you care about your family and your home. I used to get yelled at when I tried to clean something that was not supposed to be cleaned (or if I was doing it while parents were away and didn't finish it when they came back). But my tip is to start the cleaning from inside the cabinets and under furniture! Those areas are the dirtiest, but stay the cleanest for a long time. You are also strong for knowing it's not the end of life, you do have a home, and it is only a matter of time and effort ❤ even if not for long, it is a healing process indeed, that can make you feel proud 💪 For small steps too!
@@xlayamaya_77x Are you in the USA? Because you can get emancipated at 16 and live on your own. Also, be the one who breaks that generational curse. YOU do not have to live that way and you are not doomed to a life of living that way either. You can start with just one room of the house. The kitchen. You can get extremely sick or even die from rats infesting your kitchen and food surface areas. So what you can personally do, with no help, is just start cleaning the kitchen of your house. It might take a week or so. But just get big trash bags and start by throwing away all of the trash. If you can give yourself a chore of making sure you throw away ALL of the trash in the kitchen at the end of every single day then that might give your family the little boost they need to start cleaning.
Gee I hope Nicole is able to have someone remove that awful fridge. It is for sure a huge source of food for the cockroaches. I am always amazed at the strength of character of Auri in that she just gives it her all when cleaning and is not dissuaded by anything. What a fantastic transformation
I encourage Auri, the occupants, or anyone involved to empty it, scrub it, and ask the land lord to replace it. Or if no landlord call city large item pick up and trash it!! And get a new one even a very small mini one for now.
I agree. The food should have been taken out at a minimum to get rid of food source for bugs and any bacteria etc. I hope someone can get her a new fridge soon
I mean this in the most genuine, nicest way possible... I sincerely hope that both the Mother and her Child get therapy. From what you've been telling about them so far, it seems they both have got a lot of emotional baggage. I just hope the very best for them. 🥺
When you said you're moving to Miami, I knew you'd find those little beasts! So happy to see you still just diving in. Bless you, Auri. And welcome to the USA. ❤🎉😊
@@jbajovane3332I agree! I lived in FL for many years and couldn’t wait to leave because of the endless bugs and worrying about my pets near lakes etc. I can hardly watch her content now because of the roach PTSD 😢
100% I usually don't advocate for cleaning behind appliances, as it's often not needed more than maybe 1x a year. But in cases like this, it's needed. So behind fridge, oven, beds, bathtub/shower if it's move-able etc.
I itched the whole video 😭 How could someone live and sleep in a house with those nasty pests EVERYWHERE!? They were so blessed that you helped them. Hopefully they keep it clean!
This 13 young girl needs a safe clean home . Thank you for making her home better . I hope the family will get help in future . Bless you Auri and you brother
Poor Auri. I knew that the US was going to be a whole different cleaning experience. My husband has to clean/mitigate homes like this from time to time. It's rough. Auri, you are a saint.
@slippytrippy8122 Take our food, for example. The ppl in charge really don't value cleanliness here. Nothing like auri is used to in Finland or anywhere in Europe for that matter :(
@@katblackwell Agreed! I understand things are hard, especially mental health issues as I have them myself, but that wasn't the little girl's fault, she is being abused. She is owed a healthy environment with at LEAST the bare minimum to grow and... survive.
@@kiokokoffin Yes! I sincerely hope both of them get therapy. The mother is clearly mentally ill, and who knows what's truly going on at home (aside from what we see on the surface), but to me it seems like she's unable to provide proper care for her child. And having a mental illness does NOT excuse you from the things that you do, especially if you have a huge responsibility such as RAISING A CHILD. Even if she's trying her hardest (which i couldn't even say in this case; it was her daughter who had to encourage her to get help from Auri), CPS has to look into this...
@@katblackwellWhile I agree with calling CPS, unfortunately it won't change much for the better. What will happen is the girl will go into the foster care system and Mom will be evicted. Mental health care for Mom and daughter is essential, but will not happen.
I keep thinking about the fridge and what a huge food source it is for those bugs!! Even if it could just be emptied or simply taken away. I'm sure a lot of us could pitch in for a new fridge, even a mini one at this point. If it's a rental, maybe a landlord can supply a new one?! I'd love to hear what ended up happening with it by the end of this cleaning.🙏🖤
Cockroaches live inside the insulation/ walls of all appliances, inside mattresses, furniture, inside the binding of books, inside the walls, toys, inside the plumbing, etc. The heat in southern and tropical locations like Miami makes the perfect environment. The eggs are all over the place and will indeed end up back in your home where they will hatch. The feces of roaches is toxic and, I am certain, filling the air in this home. This makes me so incredibly sad for this child.
Yep. I briefly lived in a roach infested apartment. Wasn't because of filth either. The whole building was infested. They get EVERYWHERE! When I moved I had to fumigate my stuff in the parking lot under a tarp. Found a roach crawling in the lining of a picture frame!
I love you the crazy girl from finland! I own a cleaning business myself here in the state of Georgia in the United States. I know firsthand this work is not easy! So for the fact that you're doing this for free and the fact that you're helping these people is truly amazing and you are absolutely one of a kind and that is coming from the horse's mouth so to speak! Keep doing you keep doing what you're doing girl I'm proud of you! Everything you do and everything you touch turns out beautiful! ❤
This video made me realize I had a good father. When I still in primary school my parents got divorced and I grew up with my father. I also thought he was so annoying and even up to this day he has this thing about everything being neat and tidy. I hated being made to do the chores and especially being woken up early on Saturday and given orders for the chores. But watching this video made me realize how strong he was. Our house was always clean and shining. People handle difficult situations differently. Maybe his way to cope was to make sure the house wasn't dirty and disorganized. Some people go in the opposite direction and can't clean because it doesn't seem important compared to their other problems. I'm not judging anyone, it's just that after so many years, I saw my father differently today after watching this video and it made me grateful for him. I think it's because of him, I managed to do well in school and in university. I hope this family gets help and this young girl is inspired. I wish that young girl a beautiful life. Ps. Those cockroaches and fridge was too amazing...😅
Потрясающие воображение тараканы! Им только дай волю и они посчитают, что они хозяева в доме. Вы правы и прав ваш отец: порядок в доме= порядок в голове.
Some people are just exhausted by life and can't manage basic cleaning. They are usually heart broken and depressed. Your Father did well not to let things get on top of him but it also sounds like he wasn't doing it all, he made his children do it. How many Mothers do you know that would make their children work like that?
The joy in your voice when you are faced with a cleaning situation that most people would run from is refreshing. Thank you for helping each and every person you clean for ❤ You are a saint!
Auri is so ahead of her time. i heard her briefly call the dishwasher a "disher." thats genius to me, and i mean that genuinely. im calling every dishwasher a "disher" now. Auri's a trendsetter
@@Aurikatariinait's great you can utilize the dishwasher when you're cleaning. Do you clean out the filter first? I think also a quick run with vinegar or store bought dishwasher cleaner would be very wise before cleaning those dishes in there. It's minimal effort to ensure the dishes are truly clean.
auri when it comes to small appliances and roaches, you gotta throw them out! unfortunately when a house is this badly infested they have to start over from scratch. my home is currently infested, not to this extent as we aren't dirty (they were here when we moved in), but we will be theowing out a lot of furniture and appliances.
I'm honestly surprised that girl hadn't been taken away by social services, living in a place like that. You have likely prevented it by cleaning it up, as well. I hope they manage to keep it clean because that place was a literal biohazard when you got there!
I don't want to diss my late mum, but she wasn't the world's most tidiest nor hygienic person but the family never got many stomach bugs - I think we were immune to the bacteria lol!
We got roaches from our neighbours and we had tem for a couple of months since they came through the vents. It was horrible and we only had a few. I can't imagine how hard it must be for them to live with that many. Thank you for the good work that you do!
That’s what I kept thinking throughout this whole video. Their neighbors must be dealing with roaches too bc of them. This is what I couldn’t stand about living in apartment buildings
I hope they can now treat for the bugs. That is the sad thing is that you can't really have a pest control person come in until the home is somewhat clean so many folks struggling like this are unable to get rid of insects, mice, etc which of course just makes it all the more terrible for them. You are a true angel Auri!!
That cleaning didn't make sense to me. Not vacuuming the roaches first made me very uncomfortable. Can't watch an amateur approach to this biohazard. Apron and sandals aren't enough this time.
Ok, no. This is horrendous. While I understand people’s optimism, this woman needs serious help and her child needs a stable, safe and healthy environment to live in. Yes, Auri is wonderful for helping, but it’s not the only type of help this family needs. This woman is clearly sick and it won’t be long before she recreates this mess without an intervention. I don’t understand how she was storing food or feeding her daughter with a refrigerator that doesn’t work for 4+ years. That is severe neglect and abuse. If they truly don’t have anyone else who can help, CPS needs to step in and find a temporary foster situation and the mother needs treatment.
Thank you. This is beyond positivity. The poor girl has to be traumatized by this mess, the roaches! I can guarantee you that she smells as well because of it. It’s so sad 😢
I'm from Brazil and in South America we also have a lot of bugs... always saw your cleannings in Finland and wondered how you would react with a thousand bugs and cockroaches crowling, plus all the garbage and rotten stuff... and this video showed me that your job is amazing anywhere! A big fan here!
It’s amazing how you help people. Something I learned was that Cockroaches can infest electronics like appliances so it’s better to throw them out then try to clean them since they might be deep inside.
A friend of mine moved from a roach infested home and took his tv to the new house we kept seeing roaches crawling from the back and sides of the tv. They also will leave eggs in the electronics.
Yes they infest electronics cuz the heat from them. My in laws had an infestation they had to rid their 1st air fryer and a sandwich heat press machine.. lizards came in and lived in the walls and they basically lived off them. Sometimes find lizards in the sink bc they get stuck. The fam renovated and cleaned up but they were still there until the lizard situation they even had babies and we just left them so they can keep eating them. We're in the desert so that can explain the lizards. Bc hoarding is another story... no judgment on them please they are much older and now I take care of my dad in law sometimes.
You can fumigate. They sell bug bombs which are essentially cans of pesticide that spray for several hours. You have to shut all the windows and you can’t go back into the house for quite a while. They also tent homes. Literally put a big circus tent over the house and Set off bombs of pesticides in the house.
First and foremost, they absolutely needed your help. The kitchen looks amazing! I am excited for the coming videos. I just wanted to mention there is a product here in the USA called a bug bomb and having lived in the Southern US most of my life, I have used them many times. You may want to use them in homes such as this before you even go inside of them. It takes a few hours, then you air out the home. I would highly suggest you get to know them if you plan to continue cleaning in the South. Miami will never get cold enough to kill off any bugs, so you will have generations upon generations of them in every home you clean.
Good point! I think she sees the apartments at least a day or two before she actually cleans so there would be time for the bug bomb. Would you be willing to email her? I don't think her team always checks the comments.
I’m really amazed how people can live like this! It must be mental heath issue honestly especially raising a child in this condition is so not cool! God bless you for cleaning and helping them out, and hopefully they’re keeping the place clean after your help.
I agree it might be best to do that after the cleaning imho. The family may need govt. services. We and Auri should encourage them to call and see if anything is available..
With the cleaning done I hope the family can reach out to government assistance and get this taken care of if not honestly a child doesn’t need this environment. CPS should be involved.
I know you arent familiar with roaches, but if you go to someone's house with roaches, there is a VERY HIGH CHANCE you will bring them home. Also, the black thing by the sink was the cover for the garbage disposal. Many (most) American houses have a switch on the wall next to the sink so you can rake food into the sink, turn on the water and flip the switch so the food all washes away. (Just dont put bones or eggshells down the drain.) Great job!
that gunk was roach larvae and eggs and some hundreds if not thousands of babies... it was probably mixed with grease and roach droppings too... idk how this house doesn't have mice! 👀 bless Auri's heart!!!!@@Widdershins.
I’ve never let it get that bad (so far, who knows) but I do have a depression house. It’s a mess and the mess never stops. No matter how many times I try to clean. It’s easy giving up. Thanks for helping those who struggle!❤❤
thats how it works.. everyone cleans their house or at least tries to pick it up daily. Every Day. A house will never remain clean after cleaning it once. You can avoid messes building up by continuously throwing away trash, and cleaning messes right after they happen. So yeah.. no matter how many times u try to clean you will have to continue to clean.. That is just 1 part of being a responsible and clean adult.
Call CPS 😢 I absolutely do not judge an individual for having a home that gets to this level of dirty, but it's 100% different when there is a child involved. A parent has a duty to protect their child from conditions like this. A child of any age should not be living here. It is literally classed as abuse by law!
Please can a garbage company contact Auri to dispose of the fridge. Also a pest control company once the home is clean. It seems they need a locksmith too! I wish I could afford to buy the mom a fridge. Its so sad in that heat that she hasnt got one. Thanks Auri for helping x
They can't get rid of the fridge. They live in an apartment complex. If they throw it out their landlord can charge them for it. It's stupid, but that's the way it is. The landlord needs to replace the fridge.
OMG! Cannot wait to see the next video!!! That kitchen looks amazing, and now that the apt. will be clean, the family can ask the landlord for a new fridge! I think, too, that the cochroaches will find another home if food is not readily available on the counters! But the family will not get rid of the bugs until the fridge is replaced! What a good deed you did! I am sure that this family is incredibly grateful!
I’m glad she finally accepted the help. I hope the mom is able to keep everything clean and in working condition in the future because a home infested with cockroaches (and others insects), a broken fridge, a toilet that is not working and full of poop, this is not livable. And the way you described this poor little girl makes me think that she’s quite traumatized by all of this. She deserves better. They both do.
You are one in a billion !!!! Nobody but you would go in and clean under these dreadful circumstances. This poor mum and daughter need to be visited by a mental health nurse to try and sort them out. Poor little girl being brought up like this. God Bless you Auri. Fondly, Dorothy.
Wow.. People.. Depending on other people to clean their filt..how can they not realize their houss is dirty? Good thing's there are people that are like you.. Thank you for being understanding and helpful..
It breaks my heart that a child had to live in such a state. Bless you for going in where most of us wouldn't and starting a fresh chapter for these two! Looking forward to seeing the rest of this story!
im not exaggerating when i say this, but my house looks just like the one in the video. I’m 16 and yes there are roaches and rats in the house. It’s comforting to know other ppl are in the same situation as me bc been living like this since i was like 6-7. My mom just doesn’t like to clean and i wish smbdy could help us clean but my dad is embarrassed of it and everytime we attempt to clean, it never finishes. My dad didn’t grow up like that & my ma grew up with struggles and she’s never been too clean tbh. I like watching these vids bc i feel like it could help me maybe clean my whole house myself which idk if that’ll be impossible but i can try. but yes its ppl in these situations sadly and im scared to call cps bc i dont want my parents to be sad. i can still cook & stuff on my stove but i have no oven or microwave and rodents are all over my kitchen and our drawers are so old and rusty that we don’t keep stuff in em so silverware is out in the open and i have to clean it everytime i eat knowing a rat probably ran over it. I could try to clean my whole house but my dad tried before many times and everytime it never gets finished. idk what to do tbh and its really sad but the only person who knows is my bsf. im putting this on the internet bc idk what to do though and if i call cps my parents my lose everything i dont know. im about to be 17 soon and then 18 so ill probably be able to go.
I would throw out any counter top appliances because of the roaches. They can live in the nooks and crannies of anything! Even after fumigating---I know because I lived in a roach infested apartment in college for a few months. It was awful. Thanks for helping this family!
Да, тараканы это зло! Хорошо, если ты живёшь, там где бывают морозы. Во время морозов -10,-15 включаешь отопление и уезжаешь на неделю из дома. Тараканы либо умрут, либо сбегут.
I’d still have to clean out the refrigerator just to get rid of the cockroaches with the hope of them getting an new refrigerator . I’m so glad that you were able to help this family! ❤
Please be very careful you don’t take those nasty things home with you ! You are such a wonderful person for doing this ! I would not of been able to do this at all! God Bless You❤️❤️❤️
You do an amazing job, that's for sure. But I can't understand how a mum can live like that with a daughter. I think that when you've kids, you have to push yourself harder to get through everything. I understand that some people are struggling with life itself but... your daughter living like that is another level. Well done you, Auri!😊
I looooved the authentic reaction sound when you opened the fridge!! 😂 I remember in some videos in the past you have put the products and tools you used in the corner of the video - i found that very helpful so we know how you tackled that dirt, grease or limescale even when you were talking about the story of the owner or your sponsors. Maybe, if that is not too difficult, you could do that again. Like yes, i have seen all of your videos, some more than once, because they are so calming to me and listening to you having fun while cleaning, your cleaning philosophy and your heartwarming empathy enlightens my heart ❤
1st of all- Auri youre an incredible cleaning angel that can bring light to the darkest situation- this place, case in point❤ Secondly, being understanding of a situation is one thing but putting into context is another. Here we hace a single mom w a young minor age daughter who obviously has some issues to allow her living conditions to get this poor. It was wonderful for you to clean this mess but the concern is going forward if the mom does not get the help she needs, the poor living conditions could return and sadly the young daughter's health and well being is put at risk in these conditions. Its imperative that the mom gets the help she needs so she doesnt repeat this.
I have watched so many of your videos, Auri, but this one had my jaw dropped for the entire cleaning. You are BRAVE!!! I would have screamed all the way out the door! OMG this mother and daughter need help. I hope this is the beginning of new life for them.
I love how positive you are. When someone takes the brave step to ask for help and isn’t met with negativity or being made to be shamed that’ll really change their lives.
That mother should be ashamed, to force a 13 year old child to live in a situation as bad as this is absolutely downright unacceptable, that girl deserves better A LOT better
Auri is definitely one of the kindest souls on earth. I don't know that I could tackle this for pay (roaches freak me out!) Let alone for free. Truly an angel to so many people who have hit bottom. 😢
Aurikatariina, you're a treasure 👑💖✨ Currently nannying for hoarder's 10 yo daughter. Little girl growing up in suffocating & unhygienic bio-waste 'home'. The hoarder mom is successful lawyer. Mental health is deeply personal, affects anyone from poor to billionaires. Love your bright & unjudgmental attitude. What a blessing you are! 🤗💝
Hi Auri, it's great that you helped this mother with her daughter as well. I have two questions: 1) Has anyone called an extermination company for cockroaches? 2) Did that mom buy a new fridge?😵... God bless you!!!😇
You should have cleaned out the fridge. Otherwise, mold and roaches would continue, or have the fridge taken to the landfill. You are an angel. Welcome to America!
especially when she gets it all clean, roaches tend to scatter once they have nowhere to hide.

@@TinaBeanz ...soooo, they should leave it as it was? I dont understand your comment.. Really, I hope after Aurii cleaned whole house, they immediately called a service to get rid of them. So all neighbours can live at peace. :) That is one and only logical step for me after cleanigs like Clean with Barbie and others do
Sadly my home also has a huge roach and rat problem:(( we have a ton of stuff in a small home but we are slowly getting better and getting rid of the infestation. Wish we could have some help but sadly my mom doesn’t want help. We watch your video a lot to help with motivation. So hopefully we can fully get rid of this mess. Amazing video! You really are amazing.
Without proper desinsection new fridge will be 'populated' in a month. Maybe majority of cockroaches live in the old one, but trust me there are a lot of them and their eggs behind the furniture too.
I saw you on Inside Edition🎉❤❤🎉. I said, "oh my gosh thats my Worlds best cleaner they are interviewing". Auri, I'm proud of you. You deserve all the happiness. Keep inspiring us all.
God bless you, i cannot imagine a child living in this 😢 I hope this is a pivotal moment in her life and she takes a different path in the way she lives as she becomes an adult!
I am so glad that the mom reached out for help. She is brave and the daughter is also. A judgement-free cleaning was what she needed. Please show her some grace. She needs this. She might be depressed.
Judgement isn't needed to see that this family is in desperate need of professional support. She may be brave to ask for help, and she may very well be horribly depressed, but you have to put your children first, and she has neglected her daughter's most basic needs. They seem to be very private people, so maybe nobody knows how much the mother is struggling. It's so sad.
I haven't watched all the way through yet, but I hope after the cleaning they were able to get a pest control person in otherwise the cleaning will be for nothing. Good on you Auri, this young girl and mother really needed the help.
I have been watching your videos for years . Please report this person to protective services . No child should live in a home with that amount of dirt, bugs and mold .
She doesnot care for the real problem and the real solution , only to find dirty houses to clean and earn viweres, sponsors and money.Otherwise she would have already contacted social services in many other horrible houses where children or elderly people were in real biohasard situations.
Agree… the little girl already seems to have issues. The mother probably wont do nothing for the roaches and the house will be trashed again. Auri basically had to chase almost beg this woman to clean her mess… no sign of regret no nothing. Very high chance their situation wont change.
Sigh,I wish I was brave enough. Spent 15 years cleaning my mom's hoarded HUD housing apartment. She had no job,lived off my sister's ssa until I got old enough to marry and get her. Unfortunately she died,my mother. How horrible to die covered in filth. I didn't search for any keep. Any photos I have left I gave to my husbands mother. I have no words to express the pain... At seventeen I was paying for two households. Raised three kids,one twenty six. Cps was invited to my home.. none ever took because I cleaned it up. By myself at six years old until I seventeen. There was no mercy for me. Honestly I had a baby sister to raise, the cps came to my school when I was 12. She gave me an I feel sorry for you bag of clothes. I told her to mind her mf bidniz. Just like that. She was so blown away at me calling her a mf. She closed the case. My family was left alone until I was ready to let go. I dove into slipknot music to help heal and hate. I used ugk to tell me it's ok go to the streets and distribute. I met my husband at sixteen.. now same man, nineteen years apart. We are twelve years married ❤
you lived a hard life.... God Bless you- He sees you and feels your pain. May the Lord heal your heart and help you move on!! May you be covered in His love and light. God I ask you please continue to guide this person and their family and protect them always. In His name , Amen 🙏 Take care of yourself I truly wish you the best. I lost my mom last year and it's a life changing experience I dont wish for anyone to endure. My heart goes out to you💖@@nowintroducinghertome
I’m LOVING following your language journey! Titillating, entranced… what amazing vocabulary 🤩 Another one for you, for more than happy you can say "ecstatic!" Thank you for reaching back out to Nicole, she and her daughter truly deserve a safe, clean space to live and I’m so grateful you are giving that to them ❤️
You are doing an awesome job helping people. I hope the mom gets help with her mental illness as well. The most basic thing to learn in life to close the loop or lose ends, meaning pickup right after yourself - doesn't matter what it is, dirty plates, bills, difficult conversions, etc. regardless of how annoying or uncomfortable it maybe. Once you have trained you mind that way, cleaning up just becomes natural whether its a house or a relationship.
Ugh it breaks my heart a child has to live like this. I wish the fridge was at least emptied bc someone is much less likely to help remove it 😢 I feel like it would have been a help but I know getting the space livable was first priority. It just makes the cockroaches a continuous huge problem. Thank you for the work you do and sharing it with us!

@Aurikatariina if you do not clean out the refrigerator, the roaches will still be there and Apartment Maintenance will not replace the broken fridge. The apartment complex owner's would be fined by the Department of Health & Human Services because a child lives there. Welcome to American politics. 😂
I believe there should be several sponsor supporting you such as heafty trash bags..Drano, Dawn dish, and tide detergent since you use all these products in multiple it's time for them to get back to you!!
@@NurseKYMMIE also some Pest Control companies would be very supportive as well.
@@barbarakosloski9260 the tenant has to manage the fridge problem, Auri gave a huge help already... She cannot solve all the issues, there's some things everyone have to figure out how to get through by themselves when someone has done most of it.
Can you help my mom in Indiana? She’s all alone and her house has become unlivable. There’s a mice problem. She struggles with depression and is facing legal problems due to multiple substance abuse infractions. Her mental health is poor and her home reflects it. I want to help her but it makes me so upset and sick to be in the house for more than 2 hours.. we are trying to find a company to come clean but finances are rough for her since her and my dads divorce and now she’s having to pay for a lawyer. She’s not a bad person but she’s living like she’s not worth life. It breaks my heart.
A 13 year old child needs to live in better living conditions 😢 thank you for helping her!
At this age, a girl could begin to simply take out trash.
This is not help.Calling the social services is the real help and having a specialist follow up the mother and child after she leaves.Those terrible situations are not getting magiacally resolved and cured by a cleAner house (and still full of roach nests inside every appliance or wall)
@Katerinoulam1 I disagree, perhaps the mother is ill or disabled as well as having a clean home could give everyone the courage to involve social services. Given the Restroom it appears that 1 of the 5 basic functions to live unassisted is not being met (toileting) but a clean home no matter where or what happens improves things for everyone especially the neighbors.
@@sellyourhomenowbook One more reason for Katarina to call social workers, every person seeing this situation would do so.
@@Katerinoulam1sometimes this is the start that someone needs, along with some suggestions or referrals for further help. People need this kind of trust and giving that Aurikaterina provides.
As a native Floridian heres a tip for dealing with roaches. They HATE vinegar and citrus scents. In the roach infested houses I’ve worked on, I used a mixture of white vinegar, dawn dish soap and water. I add 10-15 drops of orange oil into it and use that everywhere.
omg i live i florida as well and literally didn't know this. im about to go douse my house to keep them out- they always manage to find their way in
Also cinnamon!
And how do you use it? Just wipe the floor with this mixture?
@@In-house_lawyerclean all surfaces with it daily or weekly!
@@In-house_lawyer personally, I’d do two things: one is a spray bottle for counters and hard to reach places - like in between the oven and counters, behind the fridge, under the fridge, small cracks, and the other is a big bucket of it to mop the floors with
That child needs to be rescued from this situation. Things are not going to change permanently. This is a mental condition and the child is already traumatized from living in this house with this mother.
This has to be reported so that they can give help to the mother. Mentally, she is not normal. It is one thing to be disorderly, but to live with cockroaches, there is something wrong there. Please report that.
Agreed my mom is this way.
You need to mind your business. All she needed was a bit of help. Sometimes depression happens and it keeps us from doing things that we should be doing. I'm sure this will take a huge load off of her shoulders.
@@JadedChameleon Absolutely not. This parent was negligent and abusive to have kept a child living in those conditions and that child needs to be removed. A bit of cleaning will not solve the problem. This is a neurological issue beyond simply cleaning. A parent who is as unfit as that "mother" allowing her child to survive in those conditions should not be a mother.
@@JadedChameleonNope. This is inexcusable for a parent. Imagine being a child, and growing up with piles of cockroaches and garbage around you. This is a completely unhealthy and dangerous environment for a child, especially considering children have weaker immune systems. If you think your mental state excuses putting the people around you in danger, that says a lot about the kind of person you are.
Dear Auri, I never saw any bugs in your videos in Finland. Cockroaches can travel with you in your purse, clothes, shoes, camera bag. Please wear gloves, a head covering, a hazmat suit to protect you from these insects. ❤
I just know shes not getting out of this USA trip without bringing roaches or bedbugs back home
Exactly. I am worried for her health. Can she purchase a used fridge for the girl and her mom? Put the self clean on the oven, run the disposal and the dishwasher. It is so easy to find used appliances for nearly nothing. I dont live in Florida but I have an oven, fridge and freezer I am storing. I am sure people would donate used good working appliances if you let people know. Many churches have these and or will find them for this mom daughter. A pest control company will get rid of the roaches permanently if you just call. I am sure with all the support you get and all the YT money, you can afford to hire a person that can set these things up or the home will go back to a garbage can really quickly. Thank you for helping in what ever way you can. If anyone is in Miami, please lets get this little girl a refrigerator and a pest control company.
And these look like German cockroaches too. They are almost indestructible. Just 1 travels back with you and you're screwed. They can hide for a long time without you even knowing until you have an infestation. Please Auri, listen to those of us that know these bugs, take every precaution! That said, thank you for doing what you do!
Im sure auri is careful
i was just thinking the same! her poor clothing and shoes!
My heart really goes out to the girl in this house! Who is looking out for her? Teachers, neighbors, friends? She has been so neglected, and deserves so much more! I know foster care isn't likely the answer in this particular situation, but the mother must to be held accountable. She is unable to provide safe and healthy living conditions for her child. There needs to be a social worker that comes and holds the mother accountable, and who can provide resources to help the child.
Totally agree. I find it irrispinsible that with a simple cleaning all this is rolled under the carpet, the mother has serious problems that must be dealt with, the child for sure needs help. If i were katarina i would clean and then call social services in order to follow the family and provide help.We don't even know if they called a disinfection company for the roaches. Their nests are still there, the problem is not gone.
@@Katerinoulam1 See, I would have called CPS immediately upon arrival. The girl was literally unable to open the front door. How could Auri not see from the get-go how dangerous the living conditions were for a child? She likely doesn't want to become involved in the process of reporting them, but if she is filming for views and accolades of encouragement, she should do what is right in these situations instead of worrying about cleaning. Yes, she is volunteering to clean, but there is an obligation to children in these situations, and Auri is way too concerned about filming than doing what really needs to be done. She has looked the other way many many times when children have been living in conditions like these and it's not right. A beautifully clean house is an absolute gift, but the adults in these homes are unable to provide safe and healthy living conditions for their children, and they need long term help.
I agree that the authorities need to be involved, but how do you know she didn't call? She doesn't always have to tell every little detail, maybe she is trying to keep this private for the family. Besides, this is a step in the right direction and what CPS would be looking for to see if the little girl can stay with her mom.
@@TheNikkib324 Maybe she did call! I hope she did. I understand she may not have shared all her methods, but the bottom line is, she profits off of these people and I feel like Auri is more concerned with having these folks trust her so she can clean and make a video, rather than looking at the bigger picture.
@@madzabinga8382 She never gets involved with social authorities, at least that's what she has said for Europe. She doesnot want to lose potential dirty houses to clean if their tenants are afraid she will call the social services. It is crysta clear that she is not interested in the real problems, just to clean and have views and sponsors.
This lady was single-handedly infecting the entire neighborhood with roaches… so sad. Auri you work miracles!!
*infesting
Its really concerning the daughter couldnt get out of the house to meet Auri. What happened if there was a fire and thats the only exit door? I hope social services and help is available for the mother and daughter.
Yes. That was very dangerous.
I had a hard time watching this and knowing that a child lives there. The mother is obviously not well and the child needs to be out of this situation. I hope something more than a cleaning is going to happen. The roach infestation is just unbelievable as well.
sadly im not exaggerating when i say this, but my house looks just like the one in the video. I’m 16 and yes there are roaches and rats in the house.

@@xlayamaya_77x 😢 the only thing I can suggest is to try to keep your room, the bathroom and the kitchen clean. You can't take care of the whole house alone if your family is adding to the problem. And for the bathroom and kitchen, do a little bit at a time. And move out as soon as you can, because the adults will try to make you their caregiver and that's not right, you're so young! However, if you have younger siblings, unfortunately you need to call CPS ASAP. Good luck and hang in there!
This breaks my heart!! So sorry you’re growing up in an uncomfy environment. I can relate, but not to this extent. To help, as you get older, please don’t feel the need to be “perfect”. It doesn’t exist ❤️❤️ I wish you a clean environment soon and peace ✨
@@xlayamaya_77xyes agree with valex.. try to keep the necessity rooms like your bedroom, toilet, and kitchen trash-free first. Try to take out as much trash as you can and do not be afraid to throw stuff that you know you won’t use, it will just keep piling up in the end causing your house to look like its messier than it should be. Its a lot better if you could convince both your parents and you could clean up just the trashes for a day where you guys wouldn’t be as busy… I’m sorry you had to go through this at such a young age and has to bear such responsibilities 😢 But if you really want a change, something has to be done, whether its asking for help or doing it little by little. Focus on one thing only. Those trashes are the reason rodents and roaches are living there so start with that first! Then you can move on to clean the sink, tables, toilet, anywhere that you know you will frequently use. If you managed to clean just one of these many things, I assure you that you can go beyond that, though it is easier said than done. However, the result would be worth more once you’ve succeeded! Have you tried talking about these struggles to your parents…? These could also be the first step to tackle these problems…
@@xlayamaya_77xhi, I grew up with a hoarder parent and I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that Filth. Honestly, I’d call them out. IN EVERY WAY. Sometimes it’s the best way to make them change. Unfortunately sometimes it’s the children that have to have the most balls in situations. It’s a shame your dad isn’t stepping up.
You’re so incredibly kind for doing this for this girl and her Mom. Please be careful around the cockroach feces and urine, so much disease. I hope this pushes Mom into having a better life. Clearly there’s mental health issues. 💔
It's not always mental health issues. Many times it's because of physical disabilities too.
Auri I have to agree with others here. The fridge has to GO! The roaches live in it and under it. Why didn't she report the problem to landlord or property management? They are responsible for getting her a new refrigerator. I'm a renter here in Florida and I had a fridge go out so I contacted my landlord and he brought me a new one. It doesn't need cleaning, it needs to be removed! Thank you for helping people! Welcome to Florida! We love you!🤗❤
Probably 'cause if a landlord saw the state of the property while delivering the new fridge, they'd be on the street in three seconds flat.
@@rateater1857 That wouldn't be legal. Eviction takes at least 30 days. Maybe she can get help to remove the old one now.
They probably own that home and are responsible for all maintenance and repairs.
@@deebieg It seems like a small, cramped, typical Miami apartment run by slumlords.
She doesn’t want her landlord going in there.
I genuinely dont understand how its possible to live in a home like this. How do they eat? They have no fridge or freezer and no food storage? Do they just eat out all the time? How do they use the restroom? Where do they sleep? How do they cope with all the bugs? I dont say this with judgment at all, just actual confusion. Thank for helping these poor people Auri, you give people their lives back ❤
Seriously, if you were to go set up a tent somewhere and would have better living conditions in it, something is seriously f-ed up in your home...
close minded people
Hoarding like this is a disorder. They don’t live like this on purpose. You saw the dry foods and noodles, along with that they probably eat out a lot or go to the store and buy what they are going to eat that day because it can’t be stored.
I know someone who lives like this and yes it's a mental disorder but they refused to get help and they're so narcissistic they think there is nothing wrong with them they're 15 year old boy lives just like them they literally are two giant cockroaches and live with all the roaches in their house they're like the roach lords😂😂 it's crazy because they move from one apartment to another and they just take the roaches with them and they don't actually try to stop the roaches at this point it's just lazy and disgusting and CPS was even called and they do not care that the child is living in filth also that's in Houston Texas where roaches are so bad but if you actually care you can take care of the problem these people literally just dont care 😮 I watched the father cook a roach into his scrambled eggs and watched him eat it and couldn't tell him for over a year that it happened because he tried to act like I was crazy for not wanting to eat his food dude is an extremely abusive person he abuses his son the state of Texas is broken because they don't save kids that actually need it they out here taking kids from good parents because they're easier to place in the Foster system they don't have as many problems😢
The fast food lifestyle is real. And a single mother in Florida is probably barely making ends meet at a job that doesn’t care about her. Factor in Miami traffic. So, no time to clean or cook.
Damn, can you imagine if there was a fire inside, all the rubbish catches fire and they couldn’t get out with their broken door 🤯 happy for them to have their house cleaned
Good point!
I almost died when Auri moved the micro and the bugs poured from the back and crawled around. Hope deep cleaning helped get rid of these disgusting creatures.
Yesss I let out a huge horrified gasp! I hate roaches. I think i'd rather live on the street than in a place with a roach infestation.
For anyone dealing with an infestation of this magnitude:
1) First, clean your place up to this degree! We cant all be Auri but hopefully her cleaning tips and poaitive attitude will help inspire ppl to get started 💛
2) Get a powerful insecticide from a pest control place. Home depot bug sprays and raid wont do. An insecticide like Rotox or Temprid for inside or outside use. One bottle is about 40$ but its an annual supply as you dilute the product. Also, buy 3 bottle of Gentrol (10$ per ampoule). Mix the insecticide per direction use and empty one full bottle of gentrol into the insecticide. After the deep cleaning, spray along all baseboards on the inside and outside of the house, inside kitchen cabinets (remove all food products, dishware, and countertop appliances). Put boric acid powder behind the refrigerator, stove, toilet, and bathroom cabinets. Reapply after mopping. This process is repeated monthly!
3) remove all food and water source. Everything goes in plastic bins, ziploc bags, and the fridge. there will be dead roaches everywhere. Do not let open water anywhere.
4) repeat monthly. Spray the kitchen and bathroom biweekly and the whole house monthly. Within six months, if you keep food put away, the roaches should be exterminated.
Theres hope if you cant afford professional pest extermination!
Thanks for this! I'm blessed to live somewhere that roaches aren't an issue but when I first moved in it was fleas. Oh man, you ever seen a carpet move like static on an old TV? But yeah, youtube and reddit comments like yours saved my cats' lives and got my house sorted, so thanks for that man. Have the day you deserve
Also dabs of Advion on little paper slips placed under cabinets and furniture.
I live in Florida. We don't/ didn't have an infestation, but to avoid one, we bought chemicals off of Amazon and the best one has a growth inhibitor that prevents the bug from having babies. So we use that and an overall industrial strength bug killer We just dilute products and spray monthly. I have a roach phobia, and the scariest are the extremely large ones that fly! Living in conditions like this would affect my mental health.
@@kiwi6421 Yup! That growth inhibitor is the key. That's the gentrol. I'm so glad you're living in good conditions now.
Oh my God
Imagine being that poor 13 year old trying to sleep while roaches are crawling ALL OVER YOU at night.
Poor or not child needs to be taken away 😢😢 poor child needs help they will be traumatised 😢😢
@@jasminejohnstone1803unfortunately if they don't have other family the US foster system can be worse. Hopefully the mom gets the help she needs but unfortunately with our health care system I doubt it
This is EXACTLY WHY PEOPLE DON'T ASK FOR HELP!
My God!
The people don't need judgement. That's what keeps them there. Your opinions are mean and hateful to those who are obviously powerless and overwhelmed. The child and mom obviously care for one another. Please do not mock someone's situation. The thought of being separated judged or punished helps create that chaos!
@@Anjanya1948no one is saying it's malicious, but it still isn't safe for her. Unintentional neglect, is still neglect.
@@UsandEveryoneWeKnow driving isnt safe, planes are not safe...etc..
Imagine how many roaches you would find behind the fridge!
I absolutely love the way you help without judgement. You humble me.
That fridge needs to be thrown away at that point.. those roaches are most likely reproducing in that fridge
I feel their pain. I grew up with a roach problem when I was a kid. It was super depressing. The roaches would chase after you or crawl in your ears. Make sure they know to sleep with cotton balls in their ears for a while during and after the cleaning.
I had a classmate that was traumatized by that happening to her, good family but living in a hotel. That's hard for a kid.
Please send this comment higher to the top of the list. This statement is very important.
@@donnamaco1ikr! This needs to be pinned
@@donnamaco1 how do I do that
@@MsMeeoowKitty1985 Only Auri can
Hi Auri! I noticed when you are cleaning the kitchen sink, they have a garbage disposal- I believe this is mostly an American thing, so you may not have seen one before. It looks clogged, but there should be a switch on the wall by the sink to turn it on and help unclog it. Run the water while it is on to wash it all down the drain. It makes a loud noise, but breaks down small bits of food to go down the drain. If it is working, it will unclog and drain quickly! Just make sure there isn’t any non-food items in there, like silverware or bottle caps, etc.
And be careful if you put your hand down there because there are sharp blades ! Never put your hands anywhere near it when it’s on and be mindful that the switch won’t get accidentally turned on or anything when you’re cleaning in the drain or there’s no food stuff in the drain
That poor child; if ever children's services needed to be involved. What does she eat? How does she get any nourishment? Mum is clearly mentally ill if she has left her fridge full of rotten food for years, and what if there was a fire, with the door handle broken?! I know that your videos are light-hearted, and that if you went on to safeguard situations like this nobody would come to you for help, but I'm absolutely terrified for this poor girl.
I'm sure they eat out every day.
Speaking of fire…thats the first thing I thought of when I saw all that stuff piled on top of the stove. Those stove knobs are easy to get bumped and turned on accidentally. I put my ninja foodie on top of the stove one time and someone pushed it all the way back to where the knobs are. It bumped the knob and turned the burner on. Started to smell something burning and realized what happened. The bottom of my foodie was burned pretty bad. Now I am super observant and careful about stove knobs and make sure nothing can bump into them.
im not exaggerating when i say this, but my house looks just like the one in the video. I’m 16 and yes there are roaches and rats in the house. It’s comforting to know other ppl are in the same situation as me bc been living like this since i was like 6-7. My mom just doesn’t like to clean and i wish smbdy could help us clean but my dad is embarrassed of it and everytime we attempt to clean, it never finishes. My dad didn’t grow up like that & my ma grew up with struggles and she’s never been too clean tbh. I like watching these vids bc i feel like it could help me maybe clean my whole house myself which idk if that’ll be impossible but i can try. but yes its ppl in these situations sadly and im scared to call cps bc i dont want my parents to be sad. i can still cook & stuff on my stove but i have no oven or microwave and rodents are all over my kitchen and our drawers are so old and rusty that we don’t keep stuff in em so silverware is out in the open and i have to clean it everytime i eat knowing a rat probably ran over it. I could try to clean my whole house but my dad tried before many times and everytime it never gets finished. idk what to do tbh and its really sad but the only person who knows is my bsf. im putting this on the internet bc idk what to do though and if i call cps my parents my lose everything i dont know. im about to be 17 soon and then 18 so ill probably be able to go.
@@xlayamaya_77x lots of hugs to you!
It is not an unfamiliar situation to me either... I know it can be tough, and it is nice that you care about your family and your home.
I used to get yelled at when I tried to clean something that was not supposed to be cleaned (or if I was doing it while parents were away and didn't finish it when they came back).
But my tip is to start the cleaning from inside the cabinets and under furniture! Those areas are the dirtiest, but stay the cleanest for a long time.
You are also strong for knowing it's not the end of life, you do have a home, and it is only a matter of time and effort ❤ even if not for long, it is a healing process indeed, that can make you feel proud 💪
For small steps too!
@@xlayamaya_77x Are you in the USA? Because you can get emancipated at 16 and live on your own. Also, be the one who breaks that generational curse. YOU do not have to live that way and you are not doomed to a life of living that way either. You can start with just one room of the house. The kitchen. You can get extremely sick or even die from rats infesting your kitchen and food surface areas. So what you can personally do, with no help, is just start cleaning the kitchen of your house. It might take a week or so. But just get big trash bags and start by throwing away all of the trash. If you can give yourself a chore of making sure you throw away ALL of the trash in the kitchen at the end of every single day then that might give your family the little boost they need to start cleaning.
Gee I hope Nicole is able to have someone remove that awful fridge. It is for sure a huge source of food for the cockroaches. I am always amazed at the strength of character of Auri in that she just gives it her all when cleaning and is not dissuaded by anything. What a fantastic transformation
I encourage Auri, the occupants, or anyone involved to empty it, scrub it, and ask the land lord to replace it. Or if no landlord call city large item pick up and trash it!! And get a new one even a very small mini one for now.
Absolutely support!!!@@sellyourhomenowbook
Hopefully they dare and can do something about it now that the house is clean!
You should have removed the food from the refrigerator…. Or asked the owner to get it removed. No one will take it with the food inside.
I agree. The food should have been taken out at a minimum to get rid of food source for bugs and any bacteria etc.
I hope someone can get her a new fridge soon
I mean this in the most genuine, nicest way possible... I sincerely hope that both the Mother and her Child get therapy. From what you've been telling about them so far, it seems they both have got a lot of emotional baggage. I just hope the very best for them. 🥺
When you said you're moving to Miami, I knew you'd find those little beasts! So happy to see you still just diving in. Bless you, Auri. And welcome to the USA. ❤🎉😊
Thank you ❤️
Auri with the Dawn Power Spray!!!! Love it!!
@@jenndinwiddie3583I saw that Dawn PowerWash and I was like there’s our girl Auri, new continent, new products! 🏆🏆🏆
I don’t think Auri is here permanently. Just about 90 days.
Do not move here permanently, whatever you do. You don’t want that!
@@jbajovane3332I agree! I lived in FL for many years and couldn’t wait to leave because of the endless bugs and worrying about my pets near lakes etc. I can hardly watch her content now because of the roach PTSD 😢
They need to get rid of the fridge otherwise they will have more roaches and they should clean behind the stove
Thanks auri
100% I usually don't advocate for cleaning behind appliances, as it's often not needed more than maybe 1x a year. But in cases like this, it's needed. So behind fridge, oven, beds, bathtub/shower if it's move-able etc.
@@Tanjaaraus
👍👍exactly
I itched the whole video 😭
How could someone live and sleep in a house with those nasty pests EVERYWHERE!? They were so blessed that you helped them. Hopefully they keep it clean!
This 13 young girl needs a safe clean home . Thank you for making her home better .
I hope the family will get help in future . Bless you Auri and you brother
Poor Auri. I knew that the US was going to be a whole different cleaning experience. My husband has to clean/mitigate homes like this from time to time. It's rough. Auri, you are a saint.
Thanks for saying what all of us were thinking.
Why is the us so diff?
@slippytrippy8122 Take our food, for example. The ppl in charge really don't value cleanliness here. Nothing like auri is used to in Finland or anywhere in Europe for that matter :(
please, please report to CPS. That poor girl! God bless you Auri. Please get that poor baby put of there!!!
This. We need more comments about reporting this to the CPS, this is extreme. That poor child...
@@katblackwell Agreed! I understand things are hard, especially mental health issues as I have them myself, but that wasn't the little girl's fault, she is being abused. She is owed a healthy environment with at LEAST the bare minimum to grow and... survive.
@@kiokokoffin Yes! I sincerely hope both of them get therapy. The mother is clearly mentally ill, and who knows what's truly going on at home (aside from what we see on the surface), but to me it seems like she's unable to provide proper care for her child. And having a mental illness does NOT excuse you from the things that you do, especially if you have a huge responsibility such as RAISING A CHILD.
Even if she's trying her hardest (which i couldn't even say in this case; it was her daughter who had to encourage her to get help from Auri), CPS has to look into this...
@@katblackwellWhile I agree with calling CPS, unfortunately it won't change much for the better. What will happen is the girl will go into the foster care system and Mom will be evicted. Mental health care for Mom and daughter is essential, but will not happen.
Breathing in roach is very hazardous to the health :(
I keep thinking about the fridge and what a huge food source it is for those bugs!! Even if it could just be emptied or simply taken away. I'm sure a lot of us could pitch in for a new fridge, even a mini one at this point. If it's a rental, maybe a landlord can supply a new one?! I'd love to hear what ended up happening with it by the end of this cleaning.🙏🖤
Perhaps, now that the apartment is clean they can let the landlord know, and they'll get another refrigerator.
That fridge should be a crime.
Cockroaches live inside the insulation/ walls of all appliances, inside mattresses, furniture, inside the binding of books, inside the walls, toys, inside the plumbing, etc. The heat in southern and tropical locations like Miami makes the perfect environment. The eggs are all over the place and will indeed end up back in your home where they will hatch. The feces of roaches is toxic and, I am certain, filling the air in this home. This makes me so incredibly sad for this child.
Yep. I briefly lived in a roach infested apartment. Wasn't because of filth either. The whole building was infested. They get EVERYWHERE! When I moved I had to fumigate my stuff in the parking lot under a tarp. Found a roach crawling in the lining of a picture frame!
I love you the crazy girl from finland! I own a cleaning business myself here in the state of Georgia in the United States. I know firsthand this work is not easy! So for the fact that you're doing this for free and the fact that you're helping these people is truly amazing and you are absolutely one of a kind and that is coming from the horse's mouth so to speak! Keep doing you keep doing what you're doing girl I'm proud of you! Everything you do and everything you touch turns out beautiful! ❤
This video made me realize I had a good father. When I still in primary school my parents got divorced and I grew up with my father. I also thought he was so annoying and even up to this day he has this thing about everything being neat and tidy. I hated being made to do the chores and especially being woken up early on Saturday and given orders for the chores. But watching this video made me realize how strong he was. Our house was always clean and shining. People handle difficult situations differently. Maybe his way to cope was to make sure the house wasn't dirty and disorganized. Some people go in the opposite direction and can't clean because it doesn't seem important compared to their other problems. I'm not judging anyone, it's just that after so many years, I saw my father differently today after watching this video and it made me grateful for him. I think it's because of him, I managed to do well in school and in university. I hope this family gets help and this young girl is inspired. I wish that young girl a beautiful life.
Ps. Those cockroaches and fridge was too amazing...😅
Потрясающие воображение тараканы! Им только дай волю и они посчитают, что они хозяева в доме.
Вы правы и прав ваш отец: порядок в доме= порядок в голове.
Some people are just exhausted by life and can't manage basic cleaning. They are usually heart broken and depressed. Your Father did well not to let things get on top of him but it also sounds like he wasn't doing it all, he made his children do it. How many Mothers do you know that would make their children work like that?
I know what you mean! My mom was like that too. I resented it when I was young, but appreciate her more and more the older I get...
@@mck2021 Lots of mothers. I had one of them, thank goodness. I appreciate the way I was raised.
Why do we expect mothers to do all of the cooking and cleaning, and how would kids learn to do it if it was always done for them?
A new fridge? The old one is a bio hazard. It has to go. Great cleaning.
Fridge isnt working would be best to just throw it away as it is
fr that fridge looks like it's straight out of resident evil lmao
@@diorsse 🤣✌️
The joy in your voice when you are faced with a cleaning situation that most people would run from is refreshing. Thank you for helping each and every person you clean for ❤ You are a saint!
Auri is so ahead of her time. i heard her briefly call the dishwasher a "disher." thats genius to me, and i mean that genuinely. im calling every dishwasher a "disher" now. Auri's a trendsetter
Hahahha ❤
@@Aurikatariinait's great you can utilize the dishwasher when you're cleaning. Do you clean out the filter first? I think also a quick run with vinegar or store bought dishwasher cleaner would be very wise before cleaning those dishes in there. It's minimal effort to ensure the dishes are truly clean.
I love how she says Trashes and yes I do too
Are you cleaning with the cockroaches running all over everything you are doing is senseless
I can't even watch the rest I guess it's better than nothing?
I just wanna take a moment and commend the strength it takes for someone to reach out and ask for help! Not an easy thing to do. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
auri when it comes to small appliances and roaches, you gotta throw them out! unfortunately when a house is this badly infested they have to start over from scratch. my home is currently infested, not to this extent as we aren't dirty (they were here when we moved in), but we will be theowing out a lot of furniture and appliances.
I'm honestly surprised that girl hadn't been taken away by social services, living in a place like that. You have likely prevented it by cleaning it up, as well. I hope they manage to keep it clean because that place was a literal biohazard when you got there!
The healthcare of Florida (even individual zip codes) is very bad. If you do not have money you are left to rot.
Agreed.
I don't want to diss my late mum, but she wasn't the world's most tidiest nor hygienic person but the family never got many stomach bugs - I think we were immune to the bacteria lol!
Nobody knew what was going on.
Exactly
We got roaches from our neighbours and we had tem for a couple of months since they came through the vents. It was horrible and we only had a few. I can't imagine how hard it must be for them to live with that many.
Thank you for the good work that you do!
That’s what I kept thinking throughout this whole video. Their neighbors must be dealing with roaches too bc of them. This is what I couldn’t stand about living in apartment buildings
Auri, that wasn’t dirt on the floors, that was roach droppings. You should definitely wear a mask while cleaning.
Omg, those roaches, no way! I'd be screaming like a little girl and waving my arms around!!!
You're so brave!
I hope they can now treat for the bugs. That is the sad thing is that you can't really have a pest control person come in until the home is somewhat clean so many folks struggling like this are unable to get rid of insects, mice, etc which of course just makes it all the more terrible for them. You are a true angel Auri!!
That cleaning didn't make sense to me. Not vacuuming the roaches first made me very uncomfortable. Can't watch an amateur approach to this biohazard. Apron and sandals aren't enough this time.
Ok, no. This is horrendous. While I understand people’s optimism, this woman needs serious help and her child needs a stable, safe and healthy environment to live in. Yes, Auri is wonderful for helping, but it’s not the only type of help this family needs. This woman is clearly sick and it won’t be long before she recreates this mess without an intervention. I don’t understand how she was storing food or feeding her daughter with a refrigerator that doesn’t work for 4+ years. That is severe neglect and abuse. If they truly don’t have anyone else who can help, CPS needs to step in and find a temporary foster situation and the mother needs treatment.
Thank you. This is beyond positivity. The poor girl has to be traumatized by this mess, the roaches! I can guarantee you that she smells as well because of it. It’s so sad 😢
Yes
I was just praying Auri threw that spoiled food away at least 🙏🏾
I'm from Brazil and in South America we also have a lot of bugs... always saw your cleannings in Finland and wondered how you would react with a thousand bugs and cockroaches crowling, plus all the garbage and rotten stuff... and this video showed me that your job is amazing anywhere! A big fan here!
Cleaning
Pensava a mesma coisa. Já pensou ela aqui. Com tantos ratos e baratas. Pois tá aí. A bichinha é porreta. 😅😅😅
yup, lived in the islands my whole life and have to battle roaches at every house ive been at
It’s amazing how you help people. Something I learned was that Cockroaches can infest electronics like appliances so it’s better to throw them out then try to clean them since they might be deep inside.
Ooof yeah, that was my thought on that microwave!
A friend of mine moved from a roach infested home and took his tv to the new house we kept seeing roaches crawling from the back and sides of the tv. They also will leave eggs in the electronics.
Can't you fumigate?
Yes they infest electronics cuz the heat from them. My in laws had an infestation they had to rid their 1st air fryer and a sandwich heat press machine.. lizards came in and lived in the walls and they basically lived off them. Sometimes find lizards in the sink bc they get stuck. The fam renovated and cleaned up but they were still there until the lizard situation they even had babies and we just left them so they can keep eating them. We're in the desert so that can explain the lizards. Bc hoarding is another story... no judgment on them please they are much older and now I take care of my dad in law sometimes.
You can fumigate. They sell bug bombs which are essentially cans of pesticide that spray for several hours. You have to shut all the windows and you can’t go back into the house for quite a while. They also tent homes. Literally put a big circus tent over the house and Set off bombs of pesticides in the house.
My whole body shook when she moved the microwave. Omg
Same
I don’t know how you braved those cockroaches though, I would’ve ran the second I saw them 😭
Same 😭
It was definitely an experience 🙈
A few seconds in and I see plenty of roaches, but no cockroaches.
Same
@@Deangirl86 ??? Meaning?
First and foremost, they absolutely needed your help. The kitchen looks amazing! I am excited for the coming videos. I just wanted to mention there is a product here in the USA called a bug bomb and having lived in the Southern US most of my life, I have used them many times. You may want to use them in homes such as this before you even go inside of them. It takes a few hours, then you air out the home. I would highly suggest you get to know them if you plan to continue cleaning in the South. Miami will never get cold enough to kill off any bugs, so you will have generations upon generations of them in every home you clean.
Good point! I think she sees the apartments at least a day or two before she actually cleans so there would be time for the bug bomb.
Would you be willing to email her? I don't think her team always checks the comments.
I’m really amazed how people can live like this! It must be mental heath issue honestly especially raising a child in this condition is so not cool! God bless you for cleaning and helping them out, and hopefully they’re keeping the place clean after your help.
I don't think it's right for a child to live like this. I really think CPS needs to check that everything is OK there.
I agree it might be best to do that after the cleaning imho. The family may need govt. services. We and Auri should encourage them to call and see if anything is available..
With the cleaning done I hope the family can reach out to government assistance and get this taken care of if not honestly a child doesn’t need this environment. CPS should be involved.
100%!!!
CPS are basically useless.
bruh, clearly everything is ok
I know you arent familiar with roaches, but if you go to someone's house with roaches, there is a VERY HIGH CHANCE you will bring them home. Also, the black thing by the sink was the cover for the garbage disposal. Many (most) American houses have a switch on the wall next to the sink so you can rake food into the sink, turn on the water and flip the switch so the food all washes away. (Just dont put bones or eggshells down the drain.) Great job!
Or potato peels. I made that mistake once.
I think she knew what the sink cover was...it was the stuff stuck to it that she had to scrape off the counter she was not sure of.
that gunk was roach larvae and eggs and some hundreds if not thousands of babies... it was probably mixed with grease and roach droppings too... idk how this house doesn't have mice! 👀 bless Auri's heart!!!!@@Widdershins.

This is severe neglect to a child. It needs to be reported.
Aurikatariina, even if you're crazy, you're the kind of crazy that helps people who need help without judging them! And this is something beautiful!
I’ve never let it get that bad (so far, who knows) but I do have a depression house. It’s a mess and the mess never stops. No matter how many times I try to clean. It’s easy giving up. Thanks for helping those who struggle!❤❤
thats how it works.. everyone cleans their house or at least tries to pick it up daily.
Every Day.
A house will never remain clean after cleaning it once.
You can avoid messes building up by continuously throwing away trash, and cleaning messes right after they happen.
So yeah.. no matter how many times u try to clean you will have to continue to clean..
That is just 1 part of being a responsible and clean adult.
Call CPS 😢 I absolutely do not judge an individual for having a home that gets to this level of dirty, but it's 100% different when there is a child involved. A parent has a duty to protect their child from conditions like this. A child of any age should not be living here. It is literally classed as abuse by law!
Please can a garbage company contact Auri to dispose of the fridge. Also a pest control company once the home is clean. It seems they need a locksmith too!
I wish I could afford to buy the mom a fridge. Its so sad in that heat that she hasnt got one.
Thanks Auri for helping x
They can't get rid of the fridge. They live in an apartment complex. If they throw it out their landlord can charge them for it. It's stupid, but that's the way it is. The landlord needs to replace the fridge.
I wish Auri would at least TRY to tuck her hair up...
@@SoraShadowdancer I mean conscidering the state that fridge was in, they should be charged for it.
@@SoraShadowdancerThat seems like a small price to pay.
Couldn't they just get a new one with the same measurements? If possible even the exact same model? I'm sure the landlord wouldn't mind.
OMG! Cannot wait to see the next video!!! That kitchen looks amazing, and now that the apt. will be clean, the family can ask the landlord for a new fridge! I think, too, that the cochroaches will find another home if food is not readily available on the counters! But the family will not get rid of the bugs until the fridge is replaced!
What a good deed you did! I am sure that this family is incredibly grateful!
I love how she makes a ❤ with soap and cleaning splilis
Keep it up Auri ❤❤❤
I’m glad she finally accepted the help. I hope the mom is able to keep everything clean and in working condition in the future because a home infested with cockroaches (and others insects), a broken fridge, a toilet that is not working and full of poop, this is not livable. And the way you described this poor little girl makes me think that she’s quite traumatized by all of this. She deserves better. They both do.
You are one in a billion !!!! Nobody but you would go in and clean under these dreadful circumstances. This poor mum and daughter need to be visited by a mental health nurse to try and sort them out. Poor little girl being brought up like this. God Bless you Auri. Fondly, Dorothy.
Wow.. People.. Depending on other people to clean their filt..how can they not realize their houss is dirty?
Good thing's there are people that are like you.. Thank you for being understanding and helpful..
It breaks my heart that a child had to live in such a state. Bless you for going in where most of us wouldn't and starting a fresh chapter for these two! Looking forward to seeing the rest of this story!

I would throw out any counter top appliances because of the roaches. They can live in the nooks and crannies of anything! Even after fumigating---I know because I lived in a roach infested apartment in college for a few months. It was awful. Thanks for helping this family!
Even behind the electric outlets
I thinks these people don't have enough money to replace the kitchen appliances. The fridge is something else...

I understand that some people are struggling with life itself but... your daughter living like that is another level. Well done you, Auri!😊
I looooved the authentic reaction sound when you opened the fridge!! 😂
I remember in some videos in the past you have put the products and tools you used in the corner of the video - i found that very helpful so we know how you tackled that dirt, grease or limescale even when you were talking about the story of the owner or your sponsors. Maybe, if that is not too difficult, you could do that again.
Like yes, i have seen all of your videos, some more than once, because they are so calming to me and listening to you having fun while cleaning, your cleaning philosophy and your heartwarming empathy enlightens my heart ❤
1st of all- Auri youre an incredible cleaning angel that can bring light to the darkest situation- this place, case in point❤ Secondly, being understanding of a situation is one thing but putting into context is another. Here we hace a single mom w a young minor age daughter who obviously has some issues to allow her living conditions to get this poor. It was wonderful for you to clean this mess but the concern is going forward if the mom does not get the help she needs, the poor living conditions could return and sadly the young daughter's health and well being is put at risk in these conditions. Its imperative that the mom gets the help she needs so she doesnt repeat this.
I have watched so many of your videos, Auri, but this one had my jaw dropped for the entire cleaning. You are BRAVE!!! I would have screamed all the way out the door! OMG this mother and daughter need help. I hope this is the beginning of new life for them.
I love how positive you are. When someone takes the brave step to ask for help and isn’t met with negativity or being made to be shamed that’ll really change their lives.
❤❤❤❤
That mother should be ashamed, to force a 13 year old child to live in a situation as bad as this is absolutely downright unacceptable, that girl deserves better A LOT better
Auri is definitely one of the kindest souls on earth. I don't know that I could tackle this for pay (roaches freak me out!) Let alone for free. Truly an angel to so many people who have hit bottom. 😢
Bless you Auri for doing this but my heart breaks for that little girl having to live in those conditions 😢
Aurikatariina, you're a treasure 👑💖✨
Currently nannying for hoarder's 10 yo daughter. Little girl growing up in suffocating & unhygienic bio-waste 'home'. The hoarder mom is successful lawyer.
Mental health is deeply personal, affects anyone from poor to billionaires.
Love your bright & unjudgmental attitude. What a blessing you are! 🤗💝
Hi Auri, it's great that you helped this mother with her daughter as well. I have two questions: 1) Has anyone called an extermination company for cockroaches? 2) Did that mom buy a new fridge?😵... God bless you!!!😇
Appreciate everything you do for the people who need your help ❤
I’ve only been watching for a little bit but I really appreciate you being so uplifting, understanding, and nonjudgmental when you help others!
You should have cleaned out the fridge. Otherwise, mold and roaches would continue, or have the fridge taken to the landfill. You are an angel. Welcome to America!
The refrigerator is leaving the apartment.
I was thinking the same thing. The roaches will never leave with that fridge still in the house.
Yep, that rotting food is part of the problem.
If that’s an apartment I feel sorry for the next door neighbors.
They’re going to have a cockroach infestation as well.
yes
especially when she gets it all clean, roaches tend to scatter once they have nowhere to hide.
@@TinaBeanz ...soooo, they should leave it as it was? I dont understand your comment.. Really, I hope after Aurii cleaned whole house, they immediately called a service to get rid of them. So all neighbours can live at peace. :) That is one and only logical step for me after cleanigs like Clean with Barbie and others do
@EvaLazorova14 no I didn't mean it like that. Auri is an angel and she's a big help no matter what. I just hate roaches, they'll ruin your home.
That’s what I was thinking!!! And it does look like an apartment judging by the dishwasher and cabinets 😂
Sadly my home also has a huge roach and rat problem:(( we have a ton of stuff in a small home but we are slowly getting better and getting rid of the infestation. Wish we could have some help but sadly my mom doesn’t want help. We watch your video a lot to help with motivation. So hopefully we can fully get rid of this mess. Amazing video! You really are amazing.
Thanks for helping this mum and daughter. Thanks for being so kind. ❤
I hope your sponsors will help you get her a new fridge!
Or DHS
Without proper desinsection new fridge will be 'populated' in a month. Maybe majority of cockroaches live in the old one, but trust me there are a lot of them and their eggs behind the furniture too.
You seem so full of light and love. Your laugh is contagious. Please keep up sharing love and joy to the world. ♥️😊🙏🏻
This is the evidence that she really is the worlds best Cleaner.
She's a sweetheart! Thanks for helping Americans too!
Love you!
This woman should be reported to CPS, this is severe child abuse.
yea did u see the punch holes in the wall aswell? that girl is traumatised
I wholeheartedly agree 😢 CPS should step in.
I hope kids at school don’t recognise her house, teens can be so cruel.
You all can clean your mouth with soap! ❤
@@elizarock655 I doubt she's inviting friends round
I saw you on Inside Edition🎉❤❤🎉. I said, "oh my gosh thats my Worlds best cleaner they are interviewing". Auri, I'm proud of you. You deserve all the happiness. Keep inspiring us all.
Amazing!!! I'm so happy she reached out!!! They deserve the help! I wish I lived near them! Id come help keep up with it! Wonderful family!
God bless you, i cannot imagine a child living in this 😢
I hope this is a pivotal moment in her life and she takes a different path in the way she lives as she becomes an adult!
What a trooper!..just watchin this, is literally makin me itchy.. i cant be the only one
Why did this pop up in my feed right before going to bed?! I couldn’t look away. I’m going to have nightmares.
I am so glad that the mom reached out for help. She is brave and the daughter is also. A judgement-free cleaning was what she needed. Please show her some grace. She needs this. She might be depressed.
Until next week
Judgement isn't needed to see that this family is in desperate need of professional support. She may be brave to ask for help, and she may very well be horribly depressed, but you have to put your children first, and she has neglected her daughter's most basic needs. They seem to be very private people, so maybe nobody knows how much the mother is struggling. It's so sad.
I haven't watched all the way through yet, but I hope after the cleaning they were able to get a pest control person in otherwise the cleaning will be for nothing. Good on you Auri, this young girl and mother really needed the help.
No good deed goes unpunished. No matter what, the cleaning was not for "nothing."
You are an angel. The most kind person on RUclips. I wish you nothing more than continued success and prosperity. ❤
I have been watching your videos for years . Please report this person to protective services . No child should live in a home with that amount of dirt, bugs and mold .
She doesnot care for the real problem and the real solution , only to find dirty houses to clean and earn viweres, sponsors and money.Otherwise she would have already contacted social services in many other horrible houses where children or elderly people were in real biohasard situations.
Agree… the little girl already seems to have issues. The mother probably wont do nothing for the roaches and the house will be trashed again. Auri basically had to chase almost beg this woman to clean her mess… no sign of regret no nothing. Very high chance their situation wont change.
Sigh,I wish I was brave enough. Spent 15 years cleaning my mom's hoarded HUD housing apartment. She had no job,lived off my sister's ssa until I got old enough to marry and get her. Unfortunately she died,my mother. How horrible to die covered in filth. I didn't search for any keep. Any photos I have left I gave to my husbands mother. I have no words to express the pain... At seventeen I was paying for two households. Raised three kids,one twenty six. Cps was invited to my home.. none ever took because I cleaned it up. By myself at six years old until I seventeen. There was no mercy for me. Honestly I had a baby sister to raise, the cps came to my school when I was 12. She gave me an I feel sorry for you bag of clothes. I told her to mind her mf bidniz. Just like that. She was so blown away at me calling her a mf. She closed the case. My family was left alone until I was ready to let go. I dove into slipknot music to help heal and hate. I used ugk to tell me it's ok go to the streets and distribute. I met my husband at sixteen.. now same man, nineteen years apart. We are twelve years married ❤
@@nowintroducinghertome I am very sorry for what you have gone through.
you lived a hard life.... God Bless you- He sees you and feels your pain. May the Lord heal your heart and help you move on!! May you be covered in His love and light. God I ask you please continue to guide this person and their family and protect them always. In His name , Amen 🙏 Take care of yourself I truly wish you the best. I lost my mom last year and it's a life changing experience I dont wish for anyone to endure. My heart goes out to you💖@@nowintroducinghertome
I’m LOVING following your language journey! Titillating, entranced… what amazing vocabulary 🤩 Another one for you, for more than happy you can say "ecstatic!"
Thank you for reaching back out to Nicole, she and her daughter truly deserve a safe, clean space to live and I’m so grateful you are giving that to them ❤️
You are doing an awesome job helping people. I hope the mom gets help with her mental illness as well.
The most basic thing to learn in life to close the loop or lose ends, meaning pickup right after yourself - doesn't matter what it is, dirty plates, bills, difficult conversions, etc. regardless of how annoying or uncomfortable it maybe. Once you have trained you mind that way, cleaning up just becomes natural whether its a house or a relationship.
Ugh it breaks my heart a child has to live like this. I wish the fridge was at least emptied bc someone is much less likely to help remove it 😢 I feel like it would have been a help but I know getting the space livable was first priority. It just makes the cockroaches a continuous huge problem. Thank you for the work you do and sharing it with us!
So sad that anyone lives in this condition
