Several months ago I wrote how I have been in bed for 2 years with depression and have gone from a beautiful home to an overwhelming disaster. 200 wonderful people took time out of their day to write words of encouragement and offer helpful suggestions…all of which have been a great blessing to me. I am making progress and I am so grateful to you all. I had made myself invisible in life. Thank you all. God bless.
❤
💜
We have faith in you!!❤❤😊😊
❤❤❤
I'm "awakening" from a crippling bout of depression that lasted 3 years, you are not alone. No one talks about the physical side and how painful it is to move your body and how many breaks you need.
You're strong 💜
As someone who works in a donation center, THANK YOU for pointing out and not donating moldy & stained stuff that should be taken straight to the garbage. I have to deal with that every day, & people dont realize that nonprofits lose money and time having to ship away molded, rotten furniture. If you think it should be tossed, toss it. Nonprofits are not the dump.
I agree. Hazardous to those handling it also.
Yes amen!! I volunteer in our church thrift store and mostly we get good items but sometimes.... Close the bag and into the garbage. Waste of our resources.
It's the same story everywhere. When we had massive flooding in various areas of Germany, they put up donation centers to provide those who had suddenly lost everything with the bare necessities. I talked to someone who worked in one of those centers, and she told me people put sacks full of dirty, crapped on clothes, single shoes and socks, broken china etc. in front of the building at night. They had to shut the place down eventually.
Wow Mack I’m shocked and touched that you even know my channel!!! How cool 🤩🤩🤩 and thank you for the mention!!✨🌺
❤️❤️🫎
Love your channel too! Ican't wait to see Becky's finished place.
I love your channel too, Carla! You're so patient!
You’re one of my number one favorites.
I look forward to your videos every week!
Thank you for mentioning us! Super impressed by what you got done in this video, I wouldn’t know where to start. With a few we have helped in their gardens I could have done with your help on the inside.
Have a great weekend!
One day, I'll do some traveling, and we'll do something together!
@@MidwestMagicCleaning now that would be epic! South East London will be waiting for you
@flawlesscleaning, fancy seeing your comment here. Your new video is next on my list to watch. Can’t wait to see what is happening next at Jim’s.
@FlawlessCleaningServices Ben, you and your dad are such gems! I love what you're doing for Jim, and all that you have managed for all the other Lovely People you've helped. ❤
Love your channel!
It’s a chemo day for me so my pet moose and I are going to kick back and enjoy this while the infusion is going. Perfect timing!
Hugs to you Julie. ❤
🎉🎉🎉
Sending you lots of love ❤️
Hugs to you, and your sweet moose. I keep mine under the kitchen sink🤣
Don't let that moose loose. 😂😂😂 💗💗💗
Your brief breakdown of how autistic people often stop seeing the individual items in a pile and instead see it as a whole item kinda just changed my life lol. I do that subconsciously. Now I have the words to identify what I’m doing and can knowingly negate that. Thank you!!
Yes, just struck me like that.
Exactly! That's one of the reasons it makes it so hard to clean.
That Mack dude is a pretty articulate and intelligent guy, eh? For the longest time I thought his name was Johnny. 😂
It helps me understand how my grown kids deal with their spaces and their accumulations of things. How they have been this way since they were young, and probably only understand the surface of what is happening when stuff piles up.
@@traceyosterlind14 now it will be easier because you know it is individual items that can be dealt one at a time. Once you have picked one item up and dealt with it like Mack says, it changes the outlook and becomes doable. Move one item to another place or throw away.
Thanks for the shout out to Flawless Cleaning. I have been a member of Flawless almost from the beginning. I am so happy to see the community support each other. Ben and his Dad have transformed their work and lives massively. I love integrity in action. Keep up the awesome work you do. Love your channel and your style and who you are. Thanks for all you do! No rude Moose!
Ben inspired me to sign up to deliver Meals on Wheels. I'm so excited to go out and help others, but mostly grateful that channels like these educate people and inspire others to do some good!
2:20-3:50, I have autistic traits (no official diagnosis), and the "clutter becomes your environment" is real. I live alone, so all cleaning is done by me, when i have the time+energy after a full time job (which cuts into my "hobbies" time).
I just deep cleaned the bathroom, and holy moley. I
- pulled everything out of the bathroom closet and shelves,
- wiped down all the incredibly dusty surfaces
- mopped the floor
- wiped down the wall tile and scrubbed _some_ of the grout (i abandoned that idea pretty quick)
- and cleaned the toilet (which is usually very overdue and a near biohazard)
by the end, i had a laundry basket full of nicknacks, and was too exhausted to continue
(i sorted through the laundry basket yesterday, and threw away like 45% of it)
Glad you found MMC's video motivational and helpful for your autism. It sounds like you made good progress!
Steel wool cleans grout real quick.
Wow! ❤
Great job!!! I find I get overwhelmed doing the bathroom all at once so I break it down over a couple of days. Shower one day. Toilet and sink another day and floors the third day. It makes it less overwhelming to think about
For the algorithm!! 🥳
For those wonderful pesky moose!! 🦌
And for Mack & his family!! 🍾🥂🍻🍷🍹
Thank you all ❤
He does seem to have an overwhelming problem with moose (mooses?). I had no ideal Southern Central Illinois was so infested with snarky, lazy, lippy moose.
@@juliesmith8893 They're so entertaining, though!
🐅🐈⬛🐆🐈 And for the cat at the end, who has somehow not been stepped on by any of the rampaging moose
Flawless Cleaning Services is absolutely fantastic! I love what he does for the elderly, rescuing them from overgrown gardens and utilizing his army of volunteers to fix vital issues at their homes. ❤
I just got through watching him at Jim's house. I love watching him clean the yards and now helping rebuilding decks fixen a roof, etc.
Right? Ben is the best! I watched his video helping out Jim earlier. He always warms my heart!
I also sub to Ben's channel. Love watching him and his dad, Paul helping others in need. ❤
They are amazing! ❤
Yes! Ben is doing the exterior version of what Mac does for home interiors. It’s been a bit of a progression, but between Norman, Peggy, and now Jim, he’s clearly found his niche. People who need help, usually elderly people. There is not a better landscape cleaner out there.
We recently started doing what you do and Facebook was also how we reached out to our community. The response was overwhelming, we're blessed to be in a position to help others but so sad the number of people who are struggling, I've been there myself but to a lesser extent. We did our first big clean this week and it was honestly hard work and only maybe a 10th of the condition of this home, you make it look easy! Your videos (and Auri, Barbie and Bonnie) are what inspired me to do the same for others, thank you for all you do. Your commentaries are my favourite 😁 x
I’m really proud of you and I’ll be praying for your success.
@@hiddenhand6973 thank you 🥰 x
Thank you for being a kind person and helping your community.
(Niceness is easy. Kindness is hard.)
Are you posting on youtube or facebook? I would love to support with views!
@@luarosie the full cleans are posted on CZcams once a week (next video is released tomorrow) we also have links to our other socials on our channel but we're still getting the hang of making shortform content, thanks so much for supporting us 🥰 x
Not only are you kind and compassionate but you do so much education. Thanks.
It still fascinates me how people can carry the burden of what they're going to do but never do - for Years. I saw what looked like yarn in the video and it reminded me of the rug making project my mother bought supplies for, but never ever started, for 30 years. She carried that stuff from house to house to house to house to house for 30 years, always, always intending to make that art project, and never even cut the first batch of yarn. It's not a slam, I carried my rug supplies (bought at the same time) for decades, too, having almost finished it, but not quite. It was a pleasure to get rid of eventually. We humans are very strange things.
Thanks for sharing. I've had yarn for going on 4 years now, and I still swear I'm gonna crochet 😮💨
I have so many boxes of "good intentions." Watching Mac and Jason get thru these houses has helped me assess what I could be letting go of. It's a process, but can be done.
I had a professional camera that I used for a couple months only and then did nothing with it for 10 years. I finally donated it. I tried professional photography( my two brothers did wedding photography, videography for years so I wanted to try it) but I didn't have enough confidence to be successful. You have to look like you know what you are doing otherwise the ppl will question what you tell them to do. Also, too many people wanted me to photograph them for free. Even my brothers told me my pictures looked good so I felt like I should be paid.
My thoughts on this: as long as we still have a project that we will start "tomorrow" or complete "soon", there is still hope. Hope to fulfill dreams, to be capable of something, to be able to create something beautiful. If there is no more unfinished project, there is no more future, no more hope, only waiting for death. That's not necessarily true, but it feels like it.
For me it's been the fear to "ruin" the pretty ball of yarn, the pretty paints, the empty canvas and that the image I have of the perfect final product not being perfect because I won't face being imperfect and practicing lol. Gotten better though
The Carla Project, especially her series with her sister, is required viewing in order to graduate in CZcams Cleaning! I can’t believe I’m hearing her name here. She is the high point of my Sunday alongside April of Space Maker Method.
Yes, I love Carla and April too. Carla’s series helping her sister Sherry declutter is awesome.
I just watched both April and Carla before coming here today. Awesome viewing all around.
The fact that this house didnt catch fire in all these years is nothing short of a miracle
For real!
Dryer lint is one of the most flammable things ever
Seriously, it's like ~75% air, and the rest is fabric dust, which is mostly plant starch
Agree. I've never forgotten on Hoarders when a therapist told 2 women most house fires take full hold in under 5mins , then timed them getting from their living room to the door. It took them 6.5mins.
I sooo agree! Especially with the oven on! Thank god it did not!
@@SirLightfire yeah you can make pretty good free firelighters by stuffing lint from the dryer inside toilet roll tubes
I love Jason‘s tactic to shoveling the trash in the container by hand. He looks like a meerkat - so lovely 😍
It’s smart the way he does that, and it probably keeps the debris from being as airborne.
I used to love meerkats until I found out how dangerous and fierce they are at killing things. 😮 nothing like Jason at all, lol. But I see what you're saying. 😂
Hi mate 🙂 I’ve been told you gave me a shout out so just wanted to say thank you ☺️. That’s very kind of you and I appreciate it 🙂
I watch every one of your videos! ❤️❤️❤️
@@MidwestMagicCleaning well, looks like I’ll be watching yours now too 😂 never thought I’d enjoy this kind of thing but it’s relaxing and interesting 👌 thanks again mate!
Awwww I just introduced two really cool people! Love you both!
During my burn out I found the energy to finally wash the dishes in my sink for the 6 weeks. I feel blessed to know that I have co workers that would drop everything to help me clean my house. Thank you mack. Hope you recover from your burn out soon and come back FIRED UP and ready to burn it down. You know in a good way
I finally cleaned my room yesterday.
12 Garbage bags. I ended up filling 12 full Garbage bags, with just like.. Dusty Garbage that I never got around to cleaning up in many years.
I had to ask my brother for help after 4 bags.
I feel proud! :D
Thanks for inspiring me to clean up!
Ha! I'm a massive Carla Project and MMC fan... love that you gave her a shout out! ✨ Thank you for your honesty, graft, and moose population control efforts.
Graft? Are you being facetious? I'm having difficulty comprehending here.
@@teret6719, I think it’s a case of words having more than one meaning. In British English we speak of hard graft- it means hard work. If someone is a real grafter they work really hard.
Love Carla!
@@juliebrooke6099 I am glad you clarified, because I also didn’t comprehend.
Yes, I watch "The Carla Project" also. She must be on vacation. Maybe Sunday, she will put out a new video.
My cats love/hate your sped up conversations. Pretty sure they think you guys are birds
Great video! This house’s transformation is seriously satisfying !
Bravo for the former home occupant for requesting and accepting help. Well done! Ordeal was the key word for me: these people were going through a huge ordeal, you and Jason are going through an ordeal on the other side of this. I hope all concerned can reach a sense of peace once it is completed. Healing for all.😢❤
Awesome work in helping this household. Things you say are calming. Hoping you get to feeling better soon. ♥️👍
What kills me about these homes is that you can clearly see that there were small children living in this situation. And they probably thought it was normal😢😢😢.
Almost everyone I've ever known lived/lives just like this so... it kinda is?
@@valeriaswanneNope. You have experienced "Birds of a feather flock together" .
This level of mess is mental and physical abuse.
@@valeriaswanne honey, no, it's not normal. Most people don't have to walk over a mountain of trash and dirty clothes to get to the kitchen or out the front door. It seems like most of the people you know need help.
@@jonanderson5137being this judgemental eh? Are you perfect? Not cool. And I say this as the child of two hoarders still dealing with their crap after 18 years. A mental illness isn't a choice.
@@debbysouthworth5606 oh 100% my people are crazy and not in the good way. In my adult life, I lived in a totally empty apartment for years as compensation, which was equally disturbing to anyone who visited.
Oooh, Nice shoutout for Flipping Drawers! I'm always amazed when he turns roadside trash into something beautiful.
I love that channel.
One of my faves as well!!
I have been watching Flawless Cleaning since way back. He started Flawless Blessings which was power washing a property for free I believe he did that once a week? Then over time it just kind of exploded and now it has grown into the most AMAZING channel that Blesses people in such a big way it is almost unbelievable!!
I love seeing the clips at the end of his family also. The relationship he has with his father is such a wonderful example as well.
Ben is a true believer in making the world a better place and that we all have a responsibility to one another. I just absolutely love his content❤
As the child of a hoarder who is now sorting through that hoard, i'm throwing my own childhood away. It's very hard to focus on the trash part. I have support but not much physical help so I have to touch all of it and it plain sucks. I sometimes replay the parts where you describe the $ involved and remember that if I don't do this... I will pay for it in a different way. I am far below the poverty line so I must pay in time and not money. Plus I live here as a full time caregiver so there is no reprieve from the overwhelm. So, thank you for recording and narrating with an honest tone because it has truly been a helpful respite when I break for my 10 minute sanity pause.... turned my "camper" into a dump trailer so i'm using what i've got and pluggin' away!
Good wishes coming your way. My house is nowhere near as bad as the one Mack has been cleaning but I don't want to leave a mess for the next generation to sort out.
I like the half hour videos. That is about how much my attention span can deal with at a time.
Love flawless cleaning! The stuff he’s been doing recently is so much more than power washing, it’s fixing the big stuff that the person can’t afford, roofs, windows, drainage, garden clearance. And importantly, checking up on & chatting with the people he helps, mostly elderly people, it’s really heart warming stuff.
I think it's so wonderful people are using platforms like this to help people ❤
Besides all the help he provides, I love that he’s teaching his kids about giving to the community, just as his dad (also in the videos) taught him.
Yay for shouting out Ben and his Dad at Flawless Cleaning, and Carla! 2 long time favorites ❤️
My cleaning Angel 😇
fantastic job with your loving heart and soul.
Jason, great work helping your Dad with his Autistic burn out you like your Dad you have a good heart and soul.
So many people just ignore other people nowadays. When I was a young lady, I would seek out the elderly people in the neighborhood I grew up in and see if they needed help. Most of them did, and I always did whatever I could for them. They'd always want to pay me, and I always refused. I always got Christmas cards with money and notes of appreciation with a please get yourself something. I saved up that money for school, and it was always appreciated but never wanted or demanded anything for what I did. Doing this for people just makes you a better person. You don't always have to be paid for what you can do, but the people you do it for never forget you. Lots of them kept in touch with me until they passed. The last card I got was in 1984. I miss all of them, and I think about all of them, and it always makes me feel good and smile.
People look around. There are lots of people who just need a little help. A Little of your time could make all the difference in the world to them.
It's truly rewarding.
Thank you, my cleaning, Angel 😇 ❤
The Carla Project is a great channel. Another good one is The Space Maker Method. It's very similar to Carla's channel. Keep up the good work Mack!
Flawless Cleaning and FlippingDrawers!!! Yes!! They are two of my favorite guys too! If anyone else wants to watch a combo of a yard guy and a cleaning up mess guy I recommend Quick Cuts! He's out of Tasmania and he will do complete yard makeovers where he hauls all the trash out of the yard to the dump and then cuts the grass, trims the trees - just does it all.
In this house you can see at one point it was a very nice and cute place. A sense of comfort style. Then something happened. Something took hold. Then it took over. I'm so glad they reached out to you for help. I wish them the best going forward.
I love Jason's technique of laying the trash can on its side and shoveling stuff into it. Genius!
Flawless cleaning is one of my favourite, Ben and his dad are amazing
Light bulb moment! You said you were taught that cleaning was a punishment. I think it was in your last video. I've been thinking about this ever since. Your videos have helped me start cleaning up my mess, and that insight in particular see things differently. Thank you Freudian Roundhouse Kicker!
The before and after pictures are just breathtaking. The amount of cleaning y’all did in 4 days boggles my mind. I watch flipping drawers and his cat Mando… love the Carla Project and her sidekick Samson. Great shoot outs!
Very Quick Cuts is another landscaper that I enjoy watching on CZcams. He is from Australia and is very thorough. He also writes names of plants he is trimming or cutting down. Does pressure washing when needed too.
Those kitchen after images almost made me cry. I know there's a lot to do with this house, even after you're finished cleaning it, but it could be such a sweet, welcoming home. I hope the owners manage to get there. I hope they get to enjoy a safe, cozy place to live for many years. You and Jason are awesome for helping them get that chance back.
There is this You tuber from England and she clean her house and her family. She gives great advise and makes a house that is messy to a nice clean place. She talks about her struggles and how she deal with it. Her name is Remi
I am friends with her, and I shouted her out in the previous video
@MidwestMagicCleaning that is so sweet from you. I love your videos, too. I wish more ppl can be educated. I have 3 grandsons, and each one of them has a different problem. I was fortunate enough to stumbled in your video and Remi.
I watch Remi now thanks to Mack’s shoutout!
Love that you recommended Flawless Cleaning Services, Al Bladez and FlippingDrawers, they are all among my favourites! ❤️
Loved the cat! ❤️
I so enjoy Carla! How nice to see you shout her out. :D She's so good at guiding people through getting rid of things--firm but fair lol--and just has great overall energy. And of course, Samson
Flawless Cleaning, from UK, is great. Massive clean ups, clear outs, and grateful clients with a touch of British humor. 🇬🇧
Love that you mention The Carla Project. One of my fav channels & CZcamsrs!
A Hoarder's Heart is another CZcamsr that could help some of your viewers. She slowly decluttered her hoarded house and talked about how she deals with her trauma and emotional attachment to the stuff. I find it helpful and I am not even a hoarder. I started watching her when she tried to Marie Kondo her closet, she covered her identity at first by wearing masks and glasses I believe.
A Hoarder’s Heart is brilliant.
The oven was on, the dryer lint was piled high in the laundry room, all that fabric and a lit wax burner, it's a miracle that house didn't burn down. The mold's bad enough, but imagine having to clean up after fire damage.
Take care of yourself and the family!
The oven wasn’t on the whole time. When Mac was cleaning he hit the knob with his butt and turned it on.
You 2 are absolute angels on earth. I’ll bet you the homeowner is so, so happy to be back in her home.🙏🏼
I would recommend Remi Clog, if you haven't tried her channel. It is smaller and she mainly cleans her own home, but she talks about struggles with executive disfunction and how she manages to deal with it. I find her very soothing.
We're friends, and I shouted her out last week
@cleanwithbea is a young woman in England who just started doing free cleanings after salvaging her own apartment from slumlord neglect. She is so chipper and funny.
@@MidwestMagicCleaning Awesome! I must have missed that video, I'll go back and watch!
Remi Clog is great.
@@dawnmcfadden6670 She is great.
I knew what you were going to say before you said the Legos were painful to toss. I was inwardly going "Oh no, the Legos!" when I saw them getting thrown out. In theory there are ways to clean them, but speaking at someone who has cleaned large batches of Legos it is very time consuming and laborious to do a thorough job. Getting their house back is more important than the Legos.
I thought the same thing when I saw the Olaf stuffy go…. But he had been laying in filth for years.
My kid ä(9) loves legos and it hurt a little to see them go in the trash. They are pretty expensive.
It’s so great you are sharing about autistic burnout and honoring your need to rest. Here for you Mack!
Love Flawless! He and his dad are awesome people! Also, watching you scrape the floor was super satisfying!
Mad at/amused with myself that in the midst of profound empathy and sadness I see that paisley chair and I'm like, ooo! that chair tho!
I love it when you shout-out all my self soothing channels.
"Autistic burnout" is a new term for me, as autistic person with depressions/burnouts. I'm going to read up on that, thanks!
And best wishes to yours.
You are doing archaeology, and there is a branch of modern archaeology called garbology, pioneered by the late William Rathje, University of Arizona, Tucson. Reverse chronology. Well done!
Fascinating! Does that cover modern and ancient garbage sites?
@@kaydotz we’ve always done ancient garbage, he took the techniques and applied them to modern landfill sites and dumps
Holy cow or should I say holy moose. What a clean up. Great job guys.
my autistic 4-yr oldgrandchild had to go to the dentist today and poor kid really was traumatized, please say a prayer. We have a hoarder in this house and it's been a battle for years and years, he cannot throw away things to save himself. I get cleaning burn out, it happens out of the blue...i had a great cleaning week last week then i went kaput. Still in the valley.
This one hit me emotionally when that unicorn stuffie was shoveled up and into the trash. I just think about how that unicorn stuffie came to be in this home, and how something that maybe have been a gift or a treat at the store one day became just a percentage of this trash entity. It really illustrates the emotional space of the people living here and I hope they are able to get to their “unicorn stuffie” selves again ❤
I could never understand precisely how the trash in this quantities could land on the floor. But now you explane it in such simple words I can understand it better. It is not to be rude, but sometimes it is so difficult to understand how things work in the mind of people who deal with a variaty of problems. Thanks for being you who can tell people like me how things happen and creats with that more understanding and empathy. Irma from the Netherlands
I’m with you, it is really hard to understand. I watched with my eyes wide at all the clothes. I don’t think I’ve had that many clothes cumulative in my whole life. I think it’s incredible the understanding shown in caring for the people who are affected by these things.
I identified with what Mack said . Realized that when I ride with my family in their car, we all treat the floor as a trash can. I empty the trash at gas stations,etc.,but they don't. And I learned about things disappearing into the clutter. New insights
Thank you for giving me the incentive to clean my own craft stuff hoard. Cleaning up as I watch your video.
Thank you! Not only for the amazing work you do, but also for sharing your story with us. I had no idea that autistic burnout even existed, but you opened my eyes and now I'm able to better help and support my autistic God Son. Keep on being your awesome self, youre changing lives and thats an amazing gift to give 🙏💖
I have 2 grandkids with autism. My mom just can't understand a child that just wants to hide in their rooms and do nothing when this comes over them. It's just beyond her comprehension. Many people out there are like her. If you don't deal with "the 'tism" as they call it on a daily basis, you don't see the issues that come with this condition.
My sister had an apartment for seven months (a number of years ago). It doesn't take long for people that hoard and don't clean to accumulate stuff. The floors were covered and it was very hard to walk through. One would think it would take years to get trash that more than a few inches thick, but it doesn't.
You shouted out The Carla Project. I love her. She’s not so much cleaning a filthy place but more decluttering and organizing and she works with the people there. Also she’s got such a soothing voice. I love watching her and she’s got the cutest dog supervisor.
This is one cleaning where I one hundred percent agree with you. Any reputable thrift store would have to trash donations from an environment like that. Those items were long ago ruined before you started the clean up.
That was once a lovely home. You two work miracles, not just transforming a house but changing the course of people's lives. I love watching Flawless too, he and his dad are amazing with what they achieve for people.
Went through autistic burnout earlier this year after going through the process of buying my house. I'm glad you mentioned this, because I didn't realize that's what I was experiencing until you said this and I looked into it. I was diagnosed ASD a few years ago, and I am still learning about myself. Luckily I am now through it, but it was a couple months where I didn't know why I was feeling the way I was. Good to be able to put a name to it and have that in my pocket for the future.
Y’all… I got my living room cleaned out. Took about a week and quite a few contractor trash bags. My nephew helped me put my totes of Christmas decorations that have been sitting around for two years up in the attic and I took several boxes of things to a thrift shop.
Now I had some motivation because of course my air conditioner died right before a heat wave and I needed to make room to get the old one out and the new one installed.
It’s not perfect, I gotta vacuum and dust but now I can get to those spots to vacuum and dust.
You guys are still amazing.
Yay to Flawless Cleaning !
Aww! Ginger kitty cat on the final slide! 🐈
I like the shout outs to other channels. I already love The Carla Project and Al Blades. Will try out anyone else that you recommend. Hope they return the favor so that you get the gold plaque!🌟
Oh gosh, I’m a big fan of Al Bladez too! Love that you mentioned his channel. 🥰
That laugh reminded me of the movie Blades of Glory when the villain character in the kid’s-show-on-ice comes out 😂.
Also, “my mom doesn’t run a charity shop, b/c she’s dead” totally caught me off guard, but it’s a sense of humor my friends and I share, so was really refreshing!😊
Hi Mack and J! As always, y'all are just the kindest people. My best to Em. 😊
Hello Mack. Jason was doing a fantastic job on that kitchen. You taught him well. I had knee replacement surgery in December and can't get down on my knees to do that kind of stuff. I use a walker and my balance is not that great. I called the Central Illinois agency on Aging and I have 3 hours of homemaking help. That would be a good resource for anyone to call. My place is clean and comfortable. I don't know how people can think someone with a hoarding disorder is just lazy and doesn't care. I felt overwhelmed looking at that stuff in your video. It has to be miserable to live with that. I don't think anyone could relax in that, and one's home should be a sanctuary where one feels safe, comfortable,and at peace. Everyone deserves that. Thanks for what you do.
I think the mess actually starts from perfectionism sometimes…the belief that “If you can’t do it “right,” don’t do anything at all.”
Sir, I can literally say the ONLY time i enjoy doing dishes is when i can watch you two clean at the same time. Hey, whatever it takes!! 👽
I found Al Bladez about two years ago. His channel is awesome! I noticed you used a garden sprayer to dampen all the paper on the floor. That's actually a useful idea. If you find a spare moose, I'd love one s a pet. 💜
I really appreciate your compassion for these folks.
Just came here from Flawless Cleaning Services! I'm glad you liked them. Like your channel, they warm my heart ❤
pregnancy gave me the worst mental space of my life 2 years ago. I was unable to work with severe sciatica (nerve pain) it pained me to clean and my house slowly got worse. I wouldn’t let my husband clean up after me (often he did just because he knew it was stubbornness and self hate guiding that decision) but as a person who loves cleaning and love a nest space I still think about that time. Unless you’ve been in the headspace you’ll never understand how it gets like that.
Sciatica is horrible! If you had a healthy baby & your now toddler is safe & happy, you did and are doing a great job!
This is me! My youngest is 2, and it wasn't until a few months ago I started to "feel like myself" again. The pain was debilitating. 😢
To anyone who thinks he should clean and donate? Has no concept of how much work it would entail to do that. He's already donating his time to clean the home.....that's sufficient.
Thanks for all you do!
You can’t donate tha stuff its all dirty eew
Been watching the Carla project and flawless cleaning services for so long. I love their channels. Just recently found flippin drawers too.
Ben at flawless cleaning is the best❤❤❤
The kitchen transformation was awesome! Loved the informative narration. Much appreciation for what you and Jason do. 😊
Flawless Cleaning in the UK one of the best in my opinion. What he does for people is amazing. He not only cleans up yards, he rakes, pulls out the roots of trees and bushes and brambles and disposes of all the material. He manages to bring in helpers and does much needed house repairs. Its also fun to watch his channel. That being said, Mack is the best in the US!
Flawless cleaning is one of my favourites! Ben and his dad are just amazing! Great job guys xxx
This video really struck home for me seeing all the children's toys. My daughter who has struggled with ADHD and the associated depression has lived most of her adult life like this. Being on housing assistance actually helped her keep things under control, for awhile. She would clean frantically for the upcoming inspections. But in the end lost her assistance, in her mind, because of me. She passed the inspection but the landlord needed to do some work in the basement. When the inspector returned to check that the work has been completed she asked me to let them in because she was working. Unfortunately the house had already returned to its usual condition and because she and her boyfriend had removed the bulkhead stairs previously to get a sofa in to the basement I had no choice but to let the inspector in through the house. Needless to say the inspector was shocked by the condition of the house. She lost her housing assistance because of it and blamed me for letting the inspector into the house when she only needed to look at the basement. She's been kicked out of every rental she's ever had. We are now estranged and I have no idea of where our how she's living with her 11yo son. He older daughters are now in their 20's and living on their own. Without the proper support, with our without medication, ADHD can be devastating to a family; it was for mine. 💔
Love both Carla Project and Flipping Drawers. Two of my favourites. Lovely people too.
Explaining this and helping shows your compassion and understanding is off the charts! Thank you so so much for all that you and your son do ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was such a nice little home beneath the layers of illness that had built up over time; makes me sad. Thank you for all you do, and happy to be a member that helps in some small fashion to be a part of it.
Yes it is a cute home. Hopefully after MMC has done its magic, the owner can get a mold mitigation specialist in there to make it safe and habitable again.
Awesome job, you guys!! 👏 Mack, I am glad that you got to split this major cleaning project up into several videos that can be enjoyed by your many followers over a few weeks maybe so that you have opportunity to rest, recuperate, and restore. I am sure I speak for lots of your followers in saying that I so want you to feel better so you can do those things that bring you joy. Take care and I hope it helps knowing you're loved, admired and deeply respected for the work you do ❤
I got my "oh look more laundry/dishes" shirts in the mail yesterday. Love them! Thanks for what you do!
❤️❤️🫎
Oh look! More t-shirts!
using a shovel in a house, you know it's bad. 😢 Hope you feel better, and your wife too Mr. Magics Cleaning. You are real angels 😇😇
Flawless and Flipping are two of my favs. Really like the Hoof GP as well. What I think you need to do in all these cleanups is...
OK I got nothing. I do think that Alvin is a really good name for a moose, so if you see him, please give him my regards.
Hoof GP is a good lad as well.
I have to say you are one of my favorite CZcams channels. I come from & married into families with hoarding behaviors. I fight everyday with the clutter in our household. Your advice has really helped me. Also, I have been able to share your advice with others. Recently, I told a friend about your 3ft.x3ft. method. She was getting overwhelmed with her closet. She came back later and said thank you. Once she got started, she ended up with 20 bags to take to Goodwill and wasn't finished. Thank you for doing what you do and sharing it.
That kitchen and utility room are just nightmare to day dream amazing.
The floor is so shiny, you can see your own reflection 🪞 lol. The countertop color reminds me of the Brady Bunch.
Aww the meow meow at the end 🐈 🥰.

This is a nice, healthy community you have built
It's really a lovely house under all that. Jason has great form with a snow shovel now! 😊 Have to thank you so much for sharing your insights about hoarding, autism and ADHD, all of which my extended and immediate family have dealt with. You are so awesome.
Mac, it is so great you are helping the owner. The owner is very brave to have you clean their house. You are so right about the black mold it is very dangerous. I just love how Jason is cleaning with the shovel it just cracks me up. Great job! I hope you get better Mac.
Flipping Drawers is amazing. Much like you make homes liveable again, he does it with furniture. Anything with people saving something (people, homes, furniture, yards, animals) are my favorites to watch.
Quick Cuts, The Deal Guy, TK Lawn, Tim the Lawnmower man... All good channels.
Your channel fascinates me. I have a very low-income and I am an extreme minimalist.
I wasn't always a minimalist ..... but I have learned to become this way.... it works the best.
I've had to be very careful what habits I let myself get into.
I have to be very careful what I let my mind think.
I've had multiple sclerosis for over 40 years and I can no longer walk.
Take care. ❤
