Mice and Garbage EVERYWHERE 🦠 Free Cleaning After Child Protection Took Her Son! 💔

[@voodooqueen322]

I cleaned a house like this 2 yrs ago. Mother was recovering from drugs. While she was in rehab, I cleaned. It took me 2 weeks. It was worth it. I used a steam cleaner for those types of floors. They looked brand new. The mother has done well and got her 3 daughters back. She is still in the program and will be released next December just in time for Christmas! Never give up on those in need!

[@linayoung4595]

Thank you so much for helping her ❤

[@dwhitman3092]

Bless your heart ❤️.

[@HippieMotMot]

I was thinking about the steam cleaner and how useful could be in a place like this one. A young lady from Uk, Clean with Bea, always use one of those and it’s such a practical tool.

[@CookwitchCreations]

The problem with a steam cleaner is that when there are pests, it creates....er....mouse and roach poo fog. You have to clean the poo out before you can use it.

[@bethirwin7445]

Not ALL your followers came from Mack. Some of us found your awesomeness all by ourselves long before the moose herd & devil worshippers came thundering over. ❤😁 We heard the snap of your gloves & came running 😂

i found Barbie before i found Mack, and she's definitely my favourite!

[@Miroslava1985]

Yes😊

[@kathyehrisman1759]

I must say, I have tears in my eyes to think what person must be going through for their home to be this over run by trash. I have had times when I was in such a bad place l, that it took everything I had to just get out of bed, bathroom, eat and sit on the sofa till I had the energy to go back to bed. I Thought that was as low as one could feel. It wouldn't surprise me if the only reason she is still alive is because her child. I remember a time I sat in my car with the garage door closed contemplating starting the engine. What stopped me was I couldn't decide whether or not i should put my dogs in the house first.

"go shopping, feed your husband, raise a puppy..." might be the funniest thing I've heard Barbie say

[@Artzandcatz]

I loved that part too 😂😂😂

[@hule1152]

I did my dishes🥰

[@sallygombita]

The saddest thing about this one to me was the amount of small bags with trash already in them. It's obvious she tried over and over again to get herself together and just kept getting overwhelmed. So sad. Bless you for all the work you do Barbie. You are the Hungarian Hero!❤❤❤❤

[@SRose-vp6ew]

There is a Christian KZbinr and author named fly lady who was popular a few years ago. She actually teaches people who are dealing with analysis paralysis, and being overwhelmed or being perfectionist that wanted to be so good that they just do nothing how to do the right steps to get you the right direction. More basic than any of the other programs that get a little too perfectionist in style and don’t meet the real needs of a horder or someone who literally doesn’t know where to start. Perfectionist help out there is actually causing the problem to get even worse for those who need truly simple advice like after you eat rinse your dish and do your dishes and clean your sink… right now before you read the next page.

[@morgantorium]

@@SRose-vp6ew Oh hey, I just came across Fly Lady. I've been using her app and cleaning schedule. Her advice is so genuinely useful for people with very busy lives, so I bump this and also recommend Fly Lady.

[@annwilliams6438]

I am glad that CPS stepped in. No child nor animal should be raised in these conditions…. Hopefully with the help from Barbie, community services, medical, psychological and emotional support she will be able to cope with any physical, addiction, eating and emotional problems that she has been dealing with and get her life onto a level where she can live healthily with her child going forward. Best wishes to her and her child for a steady recovery.

[@RadCenter]

This room is a perfect illustration of the junk food-depression cycle. When we're depressed and anxious, we lack the energy and focus to cook and we crave excess carbs. Eating and drinking all of those carbs makes us even more depressed and anxious, and the cycle continues in a downward spiral. Thank goodness people like Barbie are there to interrupt the cycle.

[@sellyourhomenowbook]

@@RadCenter whole nations exist off high carb consumption (rice).. The person is clearly ill. And needs help.

[@CookwitchCreations]

@@sellyourhomenowbook Very observant of you. Rad was talking JUNK food with zero nutrition, not rice. However, people in rice eating nations also get depression, it's not just a Western thing. You need to go see some of the Chinese cleaning channels. OMG.

[@sellyourhomenowbook]

@CookwitchCreations I have! They are amazing lol.

[@annwilliams6438]

Amen to this. Whenever I see hoarded or trashed homes being cleaned there are always hundreds or even thousands of pieces of junk food and soda or alcohol packages! Thankfully some health practitioners are realising how there is a link between depression and eating a lot of highly processed foods. Eating more plant foods and complex carbs that have not been highly processed CAN make a huge difference to the way we feel.

[@lisachaput2952]

Plus, if there is nowhere to cook, and you have a hungry kid, your going to go some place quick...🤔

[@Laranesight]

When you got up on the bed, my idiot brain had a split second of thinking "Ugh, no, don't get your dirty shoes on the mattress!" I facepalmed at myself. Great job, as always!

[@nancykistner7167]

Now she has a bed to sleep in. You gave her dignity back with no judgment. She needs help and support not judgment. ❤❤❤❤ thank you Barbie.

[@maryleeswope3353]

This must be a very deep, unremitting depression. Looks like serious, continious help is needed and I hope she gets it. This looks like years of trash and misery. I am so sorry for her, her child and the circumstances that led her here.😢

[@HippieMotMot]

I was thinking the same. Seems like a nice old apartment, nice furniture but depression can be a monster. I hope the best for her and her child. This is a good start ☺️

[@AngieJenkins-o5l]

Praying this mom gets help for her depression and can reunite with her child. Thank you Barbie for helping her!

[@nancywhittington3535]

a child lived in that mess? how sad, thank you for your hard work..

[@AngieJenkins-o5l]

Nice find on the box of trash bags! That's one thing I've noticed on a lot of your videos is you tend to find multiple boxes of trash bags, seems like they always have good intentions of dealing with the trash but I understand the mental health issues getting in the way.

[@JoanneSilva-tu2zy]

How can CPS not take the child. This woman needs serious help. You are a great start to hopefully get her child back.

[@Kyla94934]

It will be better for him in the long run, especially if his mum gets help with her depression as well. It sucks right now but it will be a fresh new start for them

[@stormindminor]

I think they did. Barbie explains it at the beginning.

[@nataliaturner4845]

They already took the child - it says so in the description. Barbie is there to get the house back in order so cps can inspect again & the mom can get her child back.

[@Светлана-о9б2л]

​@@nataliaturner4845плохо в этой ситуации что убиралась не сама мама или хотя бы не присутствовала при уборке,это бы показало что ничего сложнооо в этом нет,как говорят,,глаза боятся, а руки делают,,... Ей помогли, но сама она сможет содержать жилье в надлежащем виде или ей отдадут ребенка, а потом в очередной раз заберут из за мусора дома... С ней обязательно должны работать специалисты и постоянный присмотр, чтобы она дальше жила без срыва...

Great job on cleaning that air conditioning unit. It will be much healthier air for them. She can now at least have hope. The rest is now up to her to get the help she needs.

[@Helen-l3i]

This woman was suffering from alot more than depression! I hope she can turn her life around after your wonderful cleaning of her home and be reunited with her son!

[@ShannonJenkins-f6b]

How sad. I’m looking at all the trash and thinking how overwhelming this must be for the lady who lives there. I understand depression. To have her child taken away in addition to her depression must be devastating. I’m so thankful she asked for help and I’m hoping she can get the help she needs with her depression and get her child back. You’re amazing, Barbie! I’m so thankful for you and all the others that clean for free, you might never fully understand how much you helped this family! 👏🏻🤗🥰

[@Pammellam]

I hope after this clean up that the lady can contact her family for emotional support. I bet she has avoided them out of shame. And her friends too. Getting her friends to come visit her clean apartment will be a huge emotional boost.

[@strietta1801]

Dear Barbie, i just want to thank you so much to help this lady. I have depression as well and is heartbreaking for me to see a fellow sufferer living like this. Is really not helping. So a big hug to you ❤️

[@auroraasleep]

Every time I see one of these apartments I just think "fire hazard" with the wires buried in the trash. Thank you for doing this for this lady. I was a cleaner for similar messes when I was in my 20's and people usually keep it clean for a lot of years. It piles up eventually especially if they get depressed again, but it's 100% worth doing it for the increased quality of life. The ones I did for the LL's were all after folks moved out, the ones I did for the county the people had an easier time of it after, and thankfully all of them were happy we were there.

[@ashcraft555]

Thank you for sharing this Mom's GoFundMe. I was wondering as you were working how she was going to replace things like clothes and food that had to be thrown away. I'm happy I was able to donate to help her. It's a good division of labor for me - you do the hard work while I sit on my butt and click a couple buttons!

[@KaleyJohnston]

I just want to say that I really appreciate all the work you did for this young mother Barbie. Having been someone who lost a child because of a mental disorder, but not this specific issue, it really is very meaningful that you are compassionate and helpful. There can be a lot of judgement and stygma surrounding CPS, and I am absolutely sure this mother loves her son and is most likely further traumatized because of his loss, and has guilt surrounding that. I say further because it does seem that there is probably trauma and depression associated with this issue in the first place. I hope that this young mother finds continued support and is able to get her son back, and able to build a life free of suffering and trauma

[@MamaJLW]

Nicely said. I’m glad you’re getting your life back together as well.

[@KaleyJohnston]

@@MamaJLW thank you. I never regained custody of my oldest, but I did leave the abusive relationship I was in and complete a in depth counseling course called Dialectical Behavior Therapy for ppl with Borderline Personslity Disorder. I have since found a stable loving relationship and have 4 beautiful children living in the home with me and their wonderful father.

[@MamaJLW]

@@KaleyJohnston My heart goes out to you regarding your oldest. I hope that you’re able to reconnect with them at some point, for both of you. I’m happy to hear that you’re stable now. Life is easier when we can walk through it together. BPD is a tough one! Fortunately it is manageable with some coping skills. I’m glad you cared enough about yourself and your family to get help.

I find Barbie's technical approach to cleaning these next-level messes interesting. The squeegee first-pass approach to the floor, for instance, is not intuitive but makes a lot of sense when dealing with a really dirty floor.

[@lindaparisi6744]

I always wonder what happens to the mice. Off to the neighbors? Imagine raising a child in this environment. You are amazing for taking this on, Barbie.

[@logically-pastel1795]

They probably go to the walls and cabinets, maybe back outside if another neighbor doesn't have a good food source.

[@carodame9419]

I can only assume to the same place fruit flies go after you throw out all your fruit

[@00zarzu00]

came all the way down here searching the comments for this answer. where did the mice go? did they just leave? were they taken and released somewhere outside? did she just put them in the trash bags and throw them out? looks like the ones from the bottom drawer really scattered, and quickly - not sure how she could’ve caught them all (or any of them, really!). yikes.

[@marigeobrien]

It's so sad that someone, anyone had to live like this. You are a Godsend, Barbie! Watching you collect the garbage, I am struck by how much of it is soda bottles and pizza boxes. I almost think the way our society has evolved lends itself to hoarding because of the way items are packaged. In the old days, before plastic, people could return glass bottles and would get a nickel (5 cents) back for each bottle. This gave them the incentive to take them in. Now we are expected to recycle but often times, we are not even provided with a reasonable way to do that. The result is, when someone is already struggling, something like recycling is just too much for them... so they end up with hundreds, if not thousands of bottles laying around. I know part of it is because of their illness and maybe they would still hoard these no matter what. But it does not help that so much packaging is used all the time. It's ironic that the reason for all the packaging is health and safety concerns... yet the packaging is killing us.
