    Don’t judge the owners. Mine got like this when I had a stroke and was in the hospital two months. My teens and kids tried but they had their stuff and would go see me in hospital every day. Don’t ever say anything bad, you don’t know what anyone is going through. Even the experts on CZcams don’t show you everything. I know they’re not super human and spend 24/7 cleaning. But we all do the best we can.

      Same! We had a very traumatic birth of our son who wound up in the NICU for 2.5 months and came home with special needs. My home is definitely similar to this one. We clean seemingly nonstop but it never ends. I watch these videos to get ideas on HOW to clean effectively. Make better use of the small amount of time I do have

    Years ago my husband and I were in marriage counseling. After 3 sessions the councilor said, take the money you would pay me and hire a good housekeeper once a week. You'll be OK, but you need help right now when your kids are small. He was right. 42 years and counting. 💜Thanks for helping this family I'm sure it was a relief for them. 💙

When I do something my brain doesn't let me, I start feeling stress and I feel like my time is running out and I take hours to do simple task and I start to cry and I just can't finish what I start. When I am not depressed or stressed my brain bypasses all of that and I can clean so fast and I don't feel overwhelmed at all.

    I find that it's easier to keep clean if you get rid of unneccesary things and keep it minimal, buy things that are easy to clean and not easily broken, make notes of what to do, separate outdoor and indoor shoes, give responsibilities to everyone in house, clean the little things immediately, make it a habit to put everything in its place after use. That and of course time management, although this only help so far if you have the capability and time to.

      The best comment so far. There's too much stuff in this home and too many surfaces covered in little things.

I will definitely keep a different system when I'm lucky enough to have a home of my own.

Although a traumatic event might have been the initial trigger, there might even have been other issues related to declining physical/mental health. Eventually more trauma, embarrassment, shame, the person became so overwhelmed that simply deciding to start was an issue and it was just easier to tune it all out and ignore it.

Then just two months later, covid hit. I was overwhelmed inside of my home and outside of my home that I avoided cleaning because it would send me into a spiral of overwhelm.

Still in that tiny apartment cuz the housing market is insane and can’t afford a 3 bedroom cuz prices got hiked up so much! Last year I had a miscarriage at 15 weeks after a difficult pregnancy, then my husband needed tooth surgery and then we got covid. It just went downhill from there. Finally getting everything back in order but it isn’t easy. It has been a tough few years. I didn’t know how bad my ADHD could get till I wasn’t able to take my kids to a playground and was not able to leave much due to the world being shut down and then everything else followed.

      The worst, however, in the context of cluttered houses, is they think they need to understand to have empathy and compassion ... they don't.
      I often see comments from those who could use help and wish I knew if anyone lived near me because I'd love to help.
      I understand. I have a few conditiins, physical and mental. The truth is, each human has something, whether they tell anyone or not.
      I've heard this man suggest just do 3 ft, or a desk top, at a time. I've heard suggestions of setting a timer which wouldn't work for me as I'd be anxious about the timer going off.

Let’s just say ADHD + busy schedule + living alone + health issues does not make anything good. Really cleaned (like vacuumed and all) for the first time in 2 months. Now my house is clean. Well, it has been almost 2 years since the last deep clean, but you just motivated me to finally hire a cleaner to do that for me. :) Honestly, about $300 a year to get someone to do a deep clean is totally worth not having to ever do it myself.

    I understand, because my home is almost like this. Wish I can afford a housekeeper. A year ago my husband had a stroke and shortly after that my mom started having hip problems. She had hip replacement surgery 5 weeks ago. I have been sleeping at my moms at night for the past 8 weeks. Fortunately I can work from home. So my schedule is work from 3 am to 9 am. Give my mom breakfast. Then go home and give my husband breakfast. Then got back to my mom by noon give her lunch come back and give my husband lunch. My sister gives my mom dinner so I get the opportunity to do any errands or the laundry. Then I give my husband his dinner, tidy up the kitchen and it’s time to get my husband ready for bed. Once I have him in bed by 10 pm I go to my mom. Get her ready and in bed by 11 pm. Try to get a snooze and is up at 3 am to do it all over again. On Saturdays I have a bit of help so I go to the office and work from 6 am to 4 pm. I also have to take both to doctors appointment and therapy. So believe me when I say I understand and empathize.

    Note, at the beginning of the video, the grout lines on the kitchen floor are white and it is clear the open sections of the floors are regularly swept and mopped. I am willing to bet this family is simply overwhelmed. It may sound harsh but a 40-50% reduction of objects in the home can make such a difference.
    I just helped someone cut thier pans, cups and bowls back. The question we used was simply, "how many does a family of ____ really use in a day". The mother still kept about 5 cups per person (including waterbottles and mugs), about 2 bowls per person, and half her pans. When we were finished, the family could return clean dishes to thier proper place, without moving other dishes, shoving things in random places or hunting for room.

They come and visit and our house is like a tornado gets in every day!! My husband and I take a good 45 min. to an hour to pickup and put in order MOST of our Houston’s together. Believe me we love and enjoy them tremendously and our life is most definitely focused on them when they’re here. Picture this both use three long towels a day (=6) one for the morning shower, one for the pool side and the last for the last shower of the day to remove the chlorine. Two towels on their bedroom hardwood floor and one on one of the cushions outdoors. Both boys took outs all 17 seating cushion’s lounging and patio set to get the “ oasis” feel like a holiday but didn’t take anything in the cabana at night not even their multiple bottles and cocktail glasses indoors. What are we butlers! We asked them to pick it up they responded “ok after the movie “ but they were to tired and went to bed. Sorry I’m ranting here it’s just so frustrating. Spoiled brats!

Growing up, my parents taught us to always have a clean house. That stuck with my sisters and I. I've had people tell me, they have never seen a house as clean as mine and one person said it looked like a luxury hotel. I'm 69 years old at this point and I still maintain a very clean home. A clean home can be accomplished if you live by this: A place for everything and everything in its place! I didn't mean to get on my soapbox. 😊

    The guy that’s cleaning is my spirit animal 😂 When I saw that 91% isopropyl alcohol being used for the mop…. 💯 🎯
