People need to remember that it’s not just depression that can lead homes to being like this. ADHD with or without ASD can do it, too. Lots of buying things to get a dopamine hit mixed with executive dysfunction making it hard to tidy and clean, particularly when there are a lot of belongings, it’s overwhelming. I always put these videos on to help me when sorting my house out 😊

[@miipmiipmiip]

The cool thing is, putting the video on might work as a virtual body double which, for anyone who doesn't know, is when someone works alongside you which often motivates people on the spectrum to also work!

[@danielmuller2701]

I have the double whammy of ADHD (with mostly executive dysfunction) and depression.. Her positivity helps me cleaning after bad phases (I'm cleaning rn/having my break while cleaning)

[@bunniewood]

It's hard not to judge these people but I'm trying. I'm actually the opposite. I get a dopamine hit when I get rid of stuff. Your life feels so simple and clean when you get rid of stuff.

[@kemipue]

@@bunniewood I'm trying to get there! Definitely feel good getting rid of stuff and aiming for minimalism to keep it that way, but parents gave me lots of my brother's stuff after he died, gave me my sister's stuff when she moved out, and lots of their stuff when they moved. Then sister moved back in bringing enough stuff for two storage units. Got rid of enough to empty one, then everything else went into the house. Combined with lots of animals and every room being in various stages of DIY with belongings being in every room but the one they're meant to be in, it's all a bit overwhelming. Also have chronic pain and fatigue and mobility issues with another medical condition so it's slow progress. Will get there one day! 😀

[@EmilyChandlerj]

Yes, having a lot of things is my downfall. I have to manage the amount to a very small amount because managing it is harder for me to do than the average person 😅

Does the scrub daddy work good on soap scum? My soap scum is so hard to get off my porcelain tub. 😫

[@cecybermudez1008]

@Aileen McCarthy Yes, use dish soap (Dawn the blue one) and scrub the tub and walls with the sponge. Let it sit for a bit. Afterwards, spray vinager in the tub, faucets, and walls. Scrub the tub again. Now you can rinse. This is very effective! The grease and the scum come right off.

[@dxsmodus]

i think it's both ironic and a little cute that the owner of this home had a plush of the pokemon minccino, which is a pokemon that likes to clean... like it feels like they wanted the motivation from a little friend :'( wonderful work as always, auri!!! you're an angel on this earth

[@Tina_42]

[@DVD927]

I’m sitting here watching the candle wax being scraped. I realized that it’s not “fun” for us to clean our own mess like that, because there’s inner scolding like, “I should’ve known better to put the candles near heat, I’m dumb”etc etc! We can all be SO self-shaming. We need to give ourselves the love & I understanding that we give others. The wax can be scraped up, no harm done, it can even be fun. No more self shaming. Life happens & we all make mistakes.

[@pompeiiash]

Yes!!! There's a great TEDtalk by KC Davis (another tiktok cleaner!) Called "how to do laundry when you're depressed" and in it she talks about how self-care tasks are morally neutral and it really hit me hard. Let me know what you think if you watch it because I think it's super relatable to your comment!

You are SO right. Inner critic is difficult to talk to sometimes to some of us. Therapy can help leverage that inner voice and talk to it, listen to it and then assuage it and slowly use it as a strength again instead of a burden😊

[@miachambers830]

That’s a very good perspective ..!! Thank you..! ❤️👍🏻

[@craftyhobbit7623]

I found this summer that direct sunlight can melt candle wax. I was sorting out some stuff in my flat - it's pretty small, but we are lucky enough to have a garden and I left a candle and a few items outside while I was sorting out a cupboard and it was quite warm. When it came to bringing it back inside, I saw that the sunlight had melted the top. If the window is south facing it would get pretty warm in the summer. I once had one candle get misshapen because it was in the window and a can of wood stain evaporate because it was in direct sunlight.

[@morganschull6597]

I love the layout of the bathrooms where you can just use a water nozzle to help clean the floor since the shower is also there and a drain is easily accessible. I wish more places in the US were like that!

[@oceanharmony9145]

[@Eeeeeeeeej]

If I had enough money to remodel my bathroom I would 100000% make it like these bathrooms with the drain in the floor. So convenient!

[@lettus143]

there are some youtubers i don't mind my views, subscriptions, comments, and like supporting financially. auri makes good money by being an influencer and through her sponsors. i don't care if she's making 10s of thousands of dollars a month, she gives her best effort in every home she cleans and she does it all for free. in a sense, yes she pays out of pocket for some of these things she buys for these people, but that money does still come from our active participation and engagement in her channel. it's not a bad thing, but i am not going to pretend like she's poor, you know? she's resparked my own interest in cleaning, my grandma had a home much like the ones she visits... she had rodents in her house and smoked inside her home for years. she was a bit of a hoarder and had a bunch of pets. her home was always really bad, i can relate very much to auri when she goes to these places. there's so many things you dont expect to find. so many different kinds of odors. to go in with a smile and tackle it all head on for FREE is wonderful and not something many people could do.

[@r.omi98]

it’s not only the things she buys but her giving her TIME and hard work. she’s truly amazing

[@loismoore1531]

I love watching this young lady. She never has a bad thing to say about the home owner. She sympathizes with the fact that some can't help it. She has inspired me to do better. I have depression. I've let my house get pretty bad. I'm now on medication. I'm learning to trash the trash, and set aside things that could be saved with not much time or trouble. I go one room at a time. I've gotten my 2 bathrooms back and next is the bedroom. It's not fun not easy, but..... I feel so much better as I get it straightened out. I'm going to try using oven cleaner to cut through one or two really bad places. It can happen to the best of us, the most organized of us. Learn it's OK to ask for help. I have 2 friends I call on and the nephew of another. I'm happy to say. They don't judge, they don't make bad comments, they just go where needed and do. I've had them come back over 2 or 3 days, until done. You are only alone if you let yourself be alone. It doesn't hurt to ask for help.

[@Ashley__Rose]

Wow the fact you’re on meds means you reached out to a medical professional for help. That can be scary! Proud of you. ♥️

I'm sure she would sell a lot of a tshirt that had slogans related to "trashes" with fun artwork "There are SO many trashes!" "All the trashes make me SO excited!" Difficult to explain what the shirt means but I guess that's why you would wear it, partially as a conversation piece.

I think that it’s a good thing to show homes like this. This is what my room looked like this for a while when I was a teenager, until one day a switch flipped and I cleaned everything. It took 3 full days and I filled up 11 big trash bags. Hoarding doesn’t always look like the reality TV shows, with houses full of decades of things.

I just want to say thank you for giving me the kick I needed to sort out my own situation. Things have slid pretty much since covid and being at home all the time, I live in a tiny little flat, and whilst it wasn't on the kind of level of these places, clutter had just accumulated everywhere and it was getting me down being surrounded by it all the time. I figured if you can transform these places in a couple of days, I have no excuse. This weekend was the weekend and I have literally just finished. Everything has either been put away or thrown away if it served no purpose. As of right now, I am clutter free and squeaky clean! I feel on top of the world!

This one's not as bad because you can see she's made effort to do what she could. That's why there's shopping bags with trash in it, nice clear bed, and probably why it had no odor. She might not have left food sitting, I think that's what causes the odor not just any trash.

I feel like when I was depressed, actually I didn't feel like I deserved nice bedding...like I knew it would become gross and so I just used the gross stuff I had. It took a long time to feel like I didn't have to 'earn' the right to spend a little money on having nice cozy things. So maybe this is the case here, or maybe not. 🤷‍♀️

Every time I gripe and moan about housework, I think of Aurkatariina cheerfully tackling homes like this one.

Auri’s cleaning tips are extremely helpful too, and make housework less of a chore . 👍

If I am going through a particularly stressful period, I do any kind of online puzzles or quiz. Firstly it distracts me from obssessive thoughts, and secondly it gives me a high when I successfully work things out. I only choose the ones that are free or that have a one-off payment though. I also draw and paint using the Procreate app, and often check out some of the free tutorials on KZbin.

Thank you for posting your videos. Sorry, this is long. I have really severe PTSD, depression, anxiety, and OCD and my home is getting extra out of control especially since this summer when I had three traumatic events happen in under two months (covid, almost dying from bad appendicitis, and a home invader). No one visited me after surgery because of the clutter so it got worse and one of my cats started getting behavioral problems. Two weeks ago, I got cleaning supplies that you recommended. It's very slow going because cleaning itself is a very bad trigger due to an event in my past, but I'm now feeling like I can stop my home from getting worse. My husband (who works 6 days/week) has done two trips to Ikea on his day off to help get better furniture so we can be more organized and is really supportive. My cats are also way happier. My favorite tip was the squeegie for the cat hair--I was shocked at how much better it worked than the expensive cat hair cleaners we had. I used it on the carpets too. I'm going to use oven cleaner on the floor for the first time because spirit gum spilled and sealed on it. (I'm very nervous about this but I feel like I can do it). I got a scrub mommy set and that paste, a scraper, and I got stick on spice organizers and have two leftover for other things, and a new smaller bathroom cabinet. I also got a container to put in the dishwasher tablets so it'd be organized and we'd know how much we have left. My home still looks absolutely terrible and I hope you maybe post some videos about organization (maybe furniture recommendations as well or container recommendations that people might not consider), but thank you for what you've already done already.

[@Em-vj8sm]

I used to struggle with organising stuff. Even though I feel the need to be always organised, I would draw a blank when I tried to start a new area. What helped was sending a photo to a friend who was naturally organised and asking for her ideas. Maybe you could find someone online, willing to be your organisation fairy? Usually she would send me photos of something she did or something online or just say 'nope, get rid of that'. I think she enjoyed the photos I sent when I got finished. Over time I got more confidence and stopped asking for advice all the time.

I noticed a tendency of that stuff to collect in my house & now I try to not let it even get inside. A big cutting board that fits across the sink would give more meal prep space.

[@Lovepeaceandchickengrease]

Thanks for the advice!!

[@FoxSmudges]

I have a tiny kitchen in a studio apartment and this tip at the end of your comment could help me out a lot! Thank you!

[@Kinypshun]

Amen to that - You're reading my mind, lol. I see my husband coming in from going out to the mailbox every day with a pile of catalogues and junk mail, and every single day I watch him walk over to the kitchen island. Before the pile touches the island, I simply say "garbage....garbage..." and he turns around and pops it in the garbage. The frustrating part is that it happens every day that we get mail. He'll never do it on his own. I'm trying to make instruction lists for him if I die first, because he'll be living in his own filth within months of my death. The struggle is real 🤣🤣🤣

[@ZuerstJesus]

@@Kinypshun In Germany we can put a sign on our mail box which says: "No advertising" and then it is forbidden to put catalogues and junk mail into the mail box. Is such a sign a possibility for you, too?

[@Kinypshun]

@@ZuerstJesus Not in the USA. Tons of junk mail every day. 🤣

[@katacharlotta]

Some of them send her pics to show they kept it clean.

@@katacharlotta How wonderful that at least SOME can keep the cleaning going.

[@kaleigh4081]

I've been wondering the same thing. I truly hope it gives them the ability to keep their homes clean and tidy.

[@thetiredworm2100]

I imagine it is a struggle to keep it super clean, but hopefully they manage to keep it from getting severe🥺keep strong everyone whose going through something! 🥰

[@RedGumDropz]

theres no better feeling than going to sleep in fresh sheets im so happy you buy them new ones, its such a small extra step that makes the world of a difference

[@patallojomom]

I would never sleep on new sheets without washing first. I know that might sound strange but every time I see them being put on I swear I can smell the cloth dye smell. Also I cringe seeing a flat sheet being used. Maybe just a USA thing.

[@silverfawn9533]

I love videos like yours. I have depression as well and my house gets out of hand. Watching videos like this helped me get rid of things originally and continue to help me stay motivated to clean my home and keep up with it. I’m thankful that my home never got to a condition like the homes you clean but it was still bad. Now I have half of what I originally owned, I am still getting rid of things and keeping my home as clean as I can. You are amazing!! ❤

[@homesteadwifehomesteadlife2533]

I love that this person loves books!! So many full bookshelves 😍

[@Omneyvdwatering]

A clean and tidy home makes me feel good. I often have happy music on while cleaning.

[@sunflowersprout2241]

Auri! Thank you for telling me about having more than one cloth! I was cleaning just the other day and my cloth got so dusty and gross and I rinsed it four times. Now I know how to do it right! I would like more tips like these and especially how to take care of your cleaning supplies. Like after you dirty your cloths, do you just wash them in the laundry? That's what I do. What about cleaning your scrub mommies? Do your steel daddies get rusty? You must have some great tips about storing your supplies and when it's time to throw them away?

[@jujubampa]

The wax scraping is THE BEST! I wish recycling was that easy here in Brazil. Many times, the places are far away, or you even have to pay. As many people here are poor, they can't afford to recycle their materials. AND we don't gain money from that, unless you work for the recycling company :(

thank you to you and your friend for helping this person. I put your videos on when I need cleaning inspiration.

[@PrettyRedLight91]

Just answering the prompt. I find joy in my little garden. Even though it's kind of a mess, it's a small thing I can do to benefit the health of myself and our ecosystem. I love seeing changes over the seasons and noticing the little bugs and animals that utalize and live in the space I curate.

[@YamiHoOu]

Always watch Auri before I clean, she's great at getting me motivated.

[@elenapeterson6472]

You look like sisters 😍😍😍 Thank you for the videos you produce! They really help! I was about to be in depression, but started to follow you - and I realised that I can do without therapy. It's amazing, to tell the truth. Not everything is perfect now, but I don't feel now like a miserable creature 😁 Thank you once again))

Wow, what an amazing before and after! I'm from the US and am learning a lot from your videos about cleaning, plus it's so nice to see you helping people in need. Also, you asked what brings us joy- crafting brings me joy, like cross stitching and embroidery. I find it very relaxing.

[@overgrownghost]

Wow, this person's place is nice too, I bet she felt so much relief after this, I hope she had a nice long shower and this motivated her to try her best in recovery. Even if not this must have been a breath of fresh air, I am wishing her luck, you all are amazing!

[@melaniehowe2179]

I've been needing to deep clean my fridge for a few weeks now and I always say tomorrow. Well tomorrow wasn't coming. I have been a faithful follower of your videos for quite some time. I decided to put one of your videos on and just grabbed my rubber gloves and hot soapy water. Your positivity and energy is so refreshing. It's like hanging out with an encouraging friend who truly wants the best for you. My fridge is now sparkling clean and smells amazing. Thank you for that little push I needed. I learn so much from your videos ❤

[@ashleymcgee3536]

Things that make me happy are exercising with my friends, playing table top games with my friends, reading, and my pets! I don’t always enjoy cleaning, but I am always happy to have a clean home, and I had plenty of time to think about that when I stopped cleaning my house for almost two years. I went through a lot of stuff starting in 2021. Now that I am in a better place, I clean once a week and declutter regularly! It does get better!

[@ButacuPpucatuB]

[@warriorqueen9792]

I found getting posh paint by numbers kits and faux fur blankets helped me with my mood. I also write in a journal and have SMART goals. Auri is right too, exercise is a great mood lifter. And I watch these videos to help motivate me to do my cleaning. I mentioned on another video about the ex's voice in my head. It is better to replace this voice with Auri's voice saying 'beautiful' and 'I love it' when I'm cleaning!

[@nelitasciretta7101]

I use to love to clean, well, not so much the cleaning itself, but seeing the results afterwards. It was a challenge for me and I wanted to see just how well I could get the job done. Now that I'm older, I do what I have to, to keep the house clean, but my real passion is my crafting. I love making beautiful things, and learning new techniques and trying them out. But I do love watching your videos, reminds me of me when I was younger and you are always so happy and upbeat. I lost my youngest daughter a little over two years ago and there is not a whole lot at the moment that really does make me happy, she had just turned 23 and she was also my best friend. Your videos cheer me up and so I thank you very much for that! I love that you love doing this to help others!

I have struggled in the past with the shopping for pleasure. It hasn't been easy, but I have stopped unnecessary shopping. I am now in the process of purging my small hoard. I donate most things to a church thrift store. I also attend a church group of quilters. We make donation quilts for babies of mothers in need. It really helps to be doing something for others!

I understand the hoarding issue for a long time I thought I was a dirty person but it turns out I just had a lot of stuff and it was really like 5 of the same thing I had to learn to let go and stop the excessive buying but with a child you need to buy things but I've been working really hard at this journey(4years)but in the end it'll all be worth it I appreciate that I've learned I don't need harsh products to get rid of the dirt but instead mostly everything can be fixed with dish soap and water I wanna say Kiitos paljon
