Hi! I’m Aurikatariina and I clean my followers homes’ for free! ❤️
Today I had the honor of helping a lovely granny Irene. Before I even started to clean she told me that she had lived her whole life judging people whose homes get into this kind of condition. She told me that she just never understood how a situation can get so bad. That was until she found herself in a situation like this. She told me that the trash just kept piling and piling until it was just too much to take out. She had become a prisoner in her own home. She also told me that her greatest wish would be to be able to bake in her kitchen again some day. I told her that we are going to make it happen for her! ❤️

Hi Hi!! 😁
Please look into better help more. They are not a good company. I love everything you do for all of these people but it always makes me sad to see you promoting a brand that doesn't treat their employees well and steals info from their clients...
I dont understand why people don't bring garbige in the containers? Aut to the streat?😪
@@samarsenault4874thank you for saying this! I love Auri’s content but I always cringe at this sponsorship.
Please stop supporting better help or at the very least look into them
Most of the time the people who criticize wouldn't lift a finger to help someone. You are giving people a great start to a new and better life.
Right?!
Truth!
Exactly Correct!!!
Stop feeding the trolls.
@@Widdekuu91huh I’m confused.😂
People have a nerve sitting at their computers watching a person clean a trashed house for free, then complain? You are a godsend to these people, Auri. You and your brother did another great job on this one.
I agree, how disgusting to complain about her not cleaning walls when she does such a great job in these homes which brings hope to these people…
Stop feeding the trolls people.
People complaining that you don't wash beds, sofa's, carpets????? The house doesn't need to be antiseptic. Clean is clean and this allows the people to take care of themselves. Thanks for all you do, Auri, I am a big fan and look forward to all your shows!!
“Why isn’t ‘ok’ good enough?” It is! Thank you for the reminder 😊.
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. You do enough to get them started on a good path. Thank you for your work! And a big thanks to your brother for helping out!
So so true!! I don’t like the „perfectionist“ attitude. Because most things in life can never be perfect and if you are constantly trying to get things perfectly done, it’s bound to be frustrating
@@mathildewesendonck7225 It is not a perfectionist attitute, it is trolls trying to get their negativity in there. And looking at the comments, it worked perfectly. Stop feeding the trolls. Stop responding to their ragebait.
Szssss❤@@okawisa4482
I can't help but think that elderly people like Irene just need regular help with cleaning their home, and it also allows someone to check up on them to make sure that they are OK and get their medical needs taken care of, too.
I can tell you for a fact as a 66 year old battling cancer that so much of what I used to do I can no longer do. Not only age but fatigue that comes with medications. Getting old is a privilege if you consider many don't get that privilege so I am not complaining just pointing out that life sometimes throws you a curve ball. I am doing fine but the things I can no longer do drive me nuts. I would kill for my floor boards to be washed but it is hard to ask for help so I understand. Bless you Auri💟
@@audreycasassa1683 Do you mean the floor or the baseboards? Get a spin mop. It's lightweight and the spinner spins out the water so well. I even plan to wash the walls and ceilings with it. I've seen examples in reviews or in videos. One room would be enough for one day, and the others stretched out over a month or three and it would be good for another 2-5 years or more. Depending on where you live, if anyone smokes in the home or does a lot of fried foods or you use a woodstove. A cobweb duster is lovely to have, too. A partial sphere of bristles that get into corners nicely. I've done ceilings with a small swiffer flat mop and that does the trick, too.
@@annblachly8068 Hi Ann, thank you for responding. I rented a 101 year old house that has been a rental property for about 45 or so years. Ceilings 10ft with lots of big trim and floor boards. Lots of smokers have lived here and the last tenant lived on deep fat fried food. The grease you cannot even imagine. I get frustrated with what I used to be able to do compared to what I can no longer do. I am trying to adopt this mind set: How do you eat an elephant. . .One bite at a time😊😊😊
I don’t know about other countries, but here in France we do have people who do this job but they’re soooo underpaid that not many actually want to do it or can make a decent living out of it. What a shame really
Here in the Netherlands we also have People who clean for elderly people. They get average payment, paid from insurance.
I remember you saying how nervous you get speaking English because you think it's not very good.... Auri, you spoke so much here and it was all beautiful! ❤️ You speak so well, and with such compassion in your words
That’s something so cozy about her accent! I love her speaking in English!
Thank you so much 🥺❤️
@Aurikatariina you do speak great English. Only word I would change is trash. You say trashes but it is just called trash. Even many bags are still only trash. Love your videos
@@wendybradley1837 Personally, I love how she says trashes and I'm not the only one!
@@wendybradley1837I’m pretty sure she knows but she doesn’t change it because people love it
I don’t have a pristine home but have taught my kids to always start with “trashes!” If you stay with someone else or are trying to help someone, if you can’t do anything else, taking care of trash for them is easy & is a big help.
I find it adorable the way she says “trashes”! I love her and her positive attitude.
I love trashes too. I know it’s not grammatically correct but I don’t care. Trashes is cute, funny and uniquely Auri.🥰😍Besides, until we can speak fluent Finnish, we have no right to criticise.
My son was staying with my mom for a week helping her, and she said it was so helpful that he took the trashes (☺️) out and did dishes without having to be asked.
Hearing that people say you don't do it "perfect" makes me mad. You clean homes, giving people the opportunity to start fresh. It's much easier to keep a clean home clean than it is to clean a dirty one, and now they can start over with a clean home. I am sure to them, it IS "perfect"!
Literally ❤️ Plus if they did want that extra deep cleaning eg rugs, sofas then theres people/companies who will do that professionally 💕 All this woman does is tidy up the majority getting it to a better state to be lived in or more deep cleaneed like they wanted.
I can’t believe you do this for free, you’re so kind ❤
She’s mad
She gets paid by sponsors! But still kind of her
@@tamiaocean ohhhhh lol that makes more sense now 😂
She makes a lot of money from sponsors and KZhead, but she did it for free when she worked full time, she’s just a gem of a person ❤️❤️
She makes thousands, and the majority if not all of her. Costs are covered by sponsors. She needs the videos, thus dirty homes inorder to post and continue to get views and more subscribers. She is a nice person and is able to help people. So for those ready to pounce and attack, go sit down, lol.
Thank you so much for hanging that picture! As you get older, there are many things you need help with. Hanging the picture makes the room look finished and will make the lovely lady more relaxed with the scene on it! She probably wanted it hung for a long time.
That's so true. I have sooooo many jobs I need help with at my age. They never get done and it's so frustrating. My kids help when they can but they have full time jobs and little ones and their places to keep nice. They are coming tomorrow to do a bit. I also have lots to put on the walls and I've waited 10 years so far😢.
Aaaa I'm so happy you uploaded! I'm 40 weeks pregnant and unable to do much beyond basic cleaning tasks in my own home, and as a clean freak I can just live vicariously through your enthusiasm in these videos
Wish you and your family all best ❤
❤️
@hexpertise all the best with the rest of your pregnancy and the arrival of your baby. As Aurii said, "Ok is good enough".
Take it easy and take care of yourself and your little one when they arrive. There will be plenty of time for cleaning when you recover. Best of luck to you and your family
I love love loved watching these videos when I was super pregnant too! Congrats on growing your family:). And amazing to hear that you are resting as you should be! ❤❤
Your brother is getting so good at cleaning with you!
I know!!😼😻
😻😻*
@@AurikatariinaAuri 💗 How is your brother's name spelled? I don't think I've seen it before 🤔❤
Santeri 🥰❤️
I mean this very respectfully. Your brother seems quite the catch: cleans, helps people in need and also has the looks! 😊
I'm baffled at how you always have perfect nail polish cleaning these nasty houses🤣🤣you're so elegant and pretty✨✨✨
She wears gloves.
@@lesliemcguire9664 ikk but still,with the heat of the gloves,the nail polish would peel and crust etcc
You're taking the overwhelm away and making home maintenance doable again for them. That's huge.
Thank you and your brother for helping this elderly lady. God bless you! ❤
Some people expect to much. I think the fact that you are kind enough to go to peoples houses, without any judgment and clean for them is brilliant. Thank you for helping all the people and for your videos, they help me a lot. x
It's a common thing for people that retire they seem to go down hill. It's because they have a routine then all of sudden they don't have work etc. That's why they're is so many clubs etc. You done brilliant as always xx
As a retiree I think you are right. Add in illness and/or chronic pain.
How sad...no matter what someone does people will criticize
This is life-changing for the resident. Anyone who can still focus on minor imperfections and criticize Auri's generosity may want to look into their own mental health issues.
It just tickled me to c Sundre carefully arranging her stuff on the cabinets. He wanted it to look nice, I could tell. Good cleaning u 2. 😅 I can c how spacious the living room is now that the trashes r gone. Hopefully, she will receive therapy to cope with her struggles. All the best. Your Oregon Viewer USA.
How can anyone criticize what you do? You certainly give people are “fresh start” and that is amazing! You inspire me to keep my space cleaner, thanks.
"oh look....more dishes"(MMC)....thanks for that saying Mack....it applies to sooo many of these situations.....but in all seriousness Auri is a real super hero, and ALL those who help anyone in these types of conditions....thank you, you make the world a better place!!!....
But your cleaning are much more than just ok. It’s is amazing. You are giving people a new start in life, showing them light at the end of the tunnel 🌸🌼🌺. I can’t believe some people are criticizing you! Shame on them
Sometimes, “Good Enough” really is all that’s needed ❤
"Cleaning OK" is a good start. You are giving this lady a huge blessing!!!
I find it hard to believe people live in these conditions . Thank goodness for people like you !
Imagine the smell!
@@MsMaryPatricia Let's not and say we did ! 🤮
Depression is a terrible condition. It steals your life! 🥹
Their nasty so of course they do than make excuses!
@@cindysmithlucinda6369some depressed people still clean and aren’t filthy and lazy I know!
Beautiful job, Auri and brother. Lots of trashes for sure. Life can spin out of control before you know it. My grown son and daughter came today to clean my yard, mow the lawn and wash my granddaughter’s outside toys. I was so grateful, I am 72 and awaiting a total knee replacement. It is difficult to walk or bend. I have always done everything myself so it was difficult to ask for help. But I am so happy I did. Thank you for this video.🙂
You and your brother did a really great job and made "Irene's" living are beautiful again. Hope she will be able to keep up a little bit better now that things are cleaner and tidier. 😊❤
You're a blessing, Auri! We need more folks like you 🤍💙🇫🇮🇩🇪
Your viewpoint of giving people a place to start and a nudge to do it is so smart. Don't let the nay-sayers get to you. The transformation you make for these people is amazing.
She is an angel from heaven to help these people. Especially the elderly and disabled.
I've loved your content for years now and I know your heart is in the right place I just wish you would find a better sponsor than better help. a lot of people who used it say they had horrible experiences and they are sharing the patients information with other websites for targeted ads
Exactly! I'm disappointed in her for not acknowledging that. People have been saying this in the comments for several months and she has never said anything about that. She may have started because she wanted to help people, but it's obvious that it's all about money now. Otherwise she wouldn't partner with better help.
She may have a contract to be their sponsor for x amount time. She might not have the ability to stop without a penalty.
Come Sunday and I eagerly wait for the positive video from Aurikatariina. The lovely lesson is that no matter what the amount of mess in your life, there is an angel who will fly down and make it disappear so elegantly and so efficiently ❤❤❤
Cleaning my room now!!
Auri the cleaning-angel flies through the homes and cleans 🙂
It seems like the people like this one and most of your others suffer from depression, not hoarding. The one house in Germany that you and your helpers cleaning was an actual set of hoarders. But I noticed that none of these depressed people have art on the walls. This lady did have art, and it was so nice of your brother to hang the one painting. Retiring from her career is a big cause of depression; I know I was depressed for two years after retiring. Boom, then the pandemic struck and I was stuck at home for two more years. I enjoy your videos and they give me some inspiration to do more cleaning. thank you Auri
Wow...what a huge difference, it looks so pretty and I'm sure the lady just needed help to kickstart her zest for life again. She sounded like she was depressed after retiring and losing the daily company of friends and work colleagues. It is so easy to lose sight of yourself. I am convinced she will have maintained her home ever since and felt proud of it too.
Dear Auri, oh... We did not see the kitchen ready in the video. Great job as always. 🙂
What you do is life changing! You always do such an amazing job, are kind, never judge anyone and make such a difference for so many. Thank you so much for helping Irene. As an older person myself and disabled it becomes more difficult to do things that I used to be able to do so easily. It will mean so much to her to be able to cook and bake like she always had and relax and enjoy her home again. Thank you Auri❤ and a sincere thanks to your brother for his kindness and help
Oh,this was a wonderful cleaning,I have such a sympathy for the elderly. Especially when they have few or no family and friends. I have been blessed with children that are willing to help me. I am still able to do many things but get tired easily. One day I know things may change but we must take one day at a time. You blessed Irene with much needed help,your brother did a great work,too. I hope she is doing so much better.😊❤❤❤❤ See you next week sweet Auri!💕💕🌹🌹🌼🌼😊
ok this was my sign to clean my room
You will never please all the people all the time. You do you Auri. You are a blessing to so many that need a fresh start and that’s the main thing to remember.
I'm sure I've commented this same comment before, but I just want to reinforce how amazing your work is for people who cannot do this for themselves. I wish every social assistance organisation globally would realise and understand how important this is for a person's wellbeing xx
Hi Auri. You are such an amazing person helping desperate persons from different places. Keep up the amazing job ❤❤😊😊. You are such a lovely person brightening other people's lives ❤❤❤❤. Love your chanel and content❤❤❤❤
I am sad for Ireen but also glad that she learned her lesson why people can get messy. Nobody does this out of laziness or out of joy. Thank you for helping people understand. ❤❤❤
It just blew my mind when you said cleaning is something most people don't have to think about - I never realized that it's so different than it is for me. Living with depression since I am 11 years old made me think EVERYONE needs to plan out every single cleaning task and has to take them in small steps to not get completely overwhelmed. Putting away your shoes? Oh, too bad, you already put away the laundry from two weeks ago, there won't be energy left for the shoes 🤷 really love the work you do, thank you so much for being such a lovely person
What a great transformation. Thank you Auri. Big fan from the UK.
Clicked on the notification right away! ❤🎉
Sending love from Indonesia 🇮🇩 ❤❤❤
You are a blessing to those in serious need. ❤❤
I love this woman's enthusiasm. She's an absolute star! Especially doing it for free. Shine on, you beautiful diamond! ❤
Yes, Auri's help is just a push! I'm very glad your brother was with you. Help with the trash, going to a store to buy stuff (lamp bulbs and fruits), helping to move the camera and lights. ❤
So nice to see your brother helping you. God bless you both🦋
Once upon a time I watched a few of the "hoarding" shows and was so FRUSTRATED at how mean and judgemental they were, no understanding how life could take a turn - the absolute opposite to you. You have all the attitudes and qualities of kindness and understanding (and physical skills too) that we need to have a kind society with one another where everyone is appreciated and valued, and kindness comes with joy. THANK YOU! Just listening is a pick-me-up. 🙂
You are incredibly brave to take on these cleans! Bravo!
Excellent job, now she can move around safely!
I love your content this is so sweet❤❤Your the nicest person I know❤❤
You and your brother are a blessing.
Every time I need to clean I watch one of her videos. After the kitchen tour I wanted to clean already!
"its okay to just clean okay" ❤ This perfectionist thanks you for that validation 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You are doing a marvelous job! It would be nice if they could have someone close to them to visit them on a regular basis to motivate and or help them if they need. Do not be discouraged by the negative comments, I don't think people realize how therapeutic your work is.
Wonderful work Auri ♥
I am so grateful for having found you! You inspire me and since you have inspired me, my home is finally getting cleaned the way I want it. The best part of that is that I am the one who is doing it.
I'm stuck with a big flu in my bedroom for a week and unable to clean my bedroom. I can't wait anymore to get rid of my cough and to be able to clean again. I have started a good spring cleaning and decluttering of my kitchen but I've stopped for 8 days since. I've had a good start. I hope I will be able to complete it this week. A good deep cleaning and spring cleaning is much more needed for my peace of mind. I can't thank you enough for all the goodness you bring in people's life and in my own life. Thank you for the bottom of my heart for giving people the chance to jump back on their feet!
I loved how you used to say vacuumer it's so cute 🥰
It was sooo cute watching your brother pay special attention to how he arranged the bookshelf🥰
I agree with you. . . If you get it back in shape for her, she will be able to keep it up. I am getting my home clean and back in order before I get any older!
❤❤❤❤❤ I LOVE YOUR CONTENT
Watching you and your brother do such a fantastic job really inspires me! Even just taking that extra time to organise the books and ornaments on the shelf nicely at the end shows how much you guys care ❤ don’t listen to the negative people telling you to do more, they don’t understand how these things work. It’s clear you already go above and beyond to help.
Who dare to criticize her??? Who can be so stupid? She is amazing,and smart too!!!
I'm 68 and definitely not old!!!
Your brother (I’m not sure how to spell his name) has such great attention to detail! His small touches really go the extra mile in making the home look great 😍 another awesome cleaning Auri!
Amazing transformation. So glad this lady reached out to you. You are such a lovely soul💟
You're a Godsend to all these people. Thank you for helping people with there mental health and homes
Auri all the help you give is more than enough! No need to be perfect and doing ALL the cleaning! ❤
Excellent job! Thank you for helping so nicely… Irene, I hope you can keep your home clean. I hope you can get some help too!
watching you guys organize the shelfs melts my heart every time 😄❤ great job, as always!! thank you for everything you do!
You and your brother did great! Nice you can work together 🥰😊
I know ive been following a long time when i see the kitchen and go "YAY TRASHES!" 😅 Irene's kitchen is actually really beautiful with the light coming through the windows. I could see that even before Auri started cleaning. These things can happen with any life change, and I'm glad Irene is getting some help. ❤
For someone over a certain age, please put as many things as possible toward the front of the cabinets for easy reach.
I never understand why she always puts everything at the back of the cabinets.
No good deed goes unpunished.
@@GuyWithTheDogs So, when I was young, I didn't understand what what being elderly was like. She seems like she would want to know that something simple like this could really help those she is trying to help. I would ask her to do anything that created more work for herself, because like she said, she can only do so much. Perhaps you are young too? Or perhaps you are fortunate not to live with any issues.
@@seattlegirl2077 If the woman who lives there is capable of navigating that mess, she's capable of rearranging the stuff in her cabinets...
@@GuyWithTheDogs Perhaps part of the reason she couldn't deal with the mess was because she couldn't bend down to pick it up. I'm surprised at how hard it is for me to reach thing tucked back in lower cabinets now that I'm 67 even though I walk thousands of steps per day. I don't know why you think this suggestion is so out of bounds.
What you are doing is amazing! Don't let anyone get you down!! You help so many people, those you are cleaning for and us online. You are an inspiration for us Auri!! Love what you are doing and it's so selfless! 💜🙏🏻
Auri you are a bright light in the darkest of times for some people and OK IS good enough! ❤
Fantastic job both! So wonderful to be able to turn people's lives around! ❤
Auri you and your brother are an absolute power team, you guys are total heroes to those you help.
This is amazing work. Always a pleasure to watch you do such kindness. Good job
You are amazing Aurii, thank you for what you do❤
Okay, I burst out laughing at "it gives me jiggles!" 🤣 That was such a cute, but funny mistake.
Auri you do amazing work from what the apartment looks like in the beginning and then after it is an wonderful transformation
You, your family & friends (helpers) do a wonderful job. Like you said some people just need a starting point. Keep going ❤ your work
Super super!!🎉❤🎉❤ blessings to Irene!
Let's hope she keeps it clean after all your hard work ❤
Watching your videos makes me so happy. Love how you enjoy helping others without judgment in a task that most of us wouldn't do. It makes me so sad that people are always criticising if you change or not beds, etc and it reminds me of a saying my grandma used to say that translates to " Who gives what they have are not obliged to do more". And it's so true. Keep doing whatever makes you happy, haters are going to hate (unfortunately)
It looks SO NICE! Great job guy!!! It's great to see a brother and sister so close. I love how he helps you. See you next time.😊
You did amazing job. Sometimes we need help but may not say it. It's so kind of you to put a smile on someone ❤❤
Thank you for helping her.
It's terribly amazing to see such a huge clutters. Can't imagine how people could live in such a condition which is impossible to access those facilities for daily living. OMG.
Tbh I just like watching this girle bc she's so friendly and sweet 💖💖💖 she deff deserves more ppl crediting her 💕
oh no! not the betterhelp sponsor!
That living room transformation blew my mind, great job you 2.
Such a treat to watch your transformations and see your wonderful brother. Love to you both from a little town in southern Oregon!
You are REALLY an helpfull Angel 🙏💝♾️
