There’s no way I would drink a cup of tea made in Arthur’s kitchen. He lives inside a biohazard of filth and bacteria. The fish blood palm print on his kitchen wall from decades ago is a fitting touch.
Being a home maker/ stay at home mom, there will be days that you will feel so lazy, because everyday is the same thing cleaning. Watching these keeps me motivated.
Considering this particular episode is from the earlier seasons, which ran from 2009 thru 2013, it's highly unlikely he's still alive, not the way he smoked constantly.
It's like they don't have any medical/psychology training to understand so they just judge and abandon , which is what we knew would happen all along and why we pushed people away then made sure they wouldn't be able to come back around and hurt us with their fake concern and caring. 😅 Yall's lack of empathy is a direct contribution to hoarding. Good jobs being a right asshole 🎉
This episode has it all - A sweet guy who clearly needs not just the cleaning help but it would be great for him to socialize as well + the lady whose collection was actually worth it + the lady who found love and a crashing bed.... Ha
He was 70 in that episode, which was from one of the early seasons (2009 - 2013), so very likely isn't alive now. He smoked so heavily, it doubtless did its damage.
Would you want to have anything that came out of that disastrous kitchen? It still wasn't clean when the ladies left---they did what they could, but as the narrator said with a slight hesitation, it was a "...somewhat clean kitchen." Nope, not about to partake in salmonella city! This episode is from one of the early episodes, made somewhere between 2009 and 2013, so likely the elderly gent is dead by now. He smoked so heavily, it likely took its toll.
Hoarders moved in downstairs and completely ruined the gardens and common areas where I rent. My friends and neighbours are horrified by what they did here. My mum was a psychiatrist and apparently hoarding is now classified as a mental health disorder in the DSM…I‘ve tried every route to get them evicted but my landlord is stuck, ‘cause eviction is tough here, legally.
I’m with you. I couldn’t live like that. But from what I’ve learned from watching these hoarder stories is those who suffer from this disorder associate their piles of stuff (even if it’s nasty or garbage) with being safe and protected like a cocoon. So losing it or seeing someone remove it causes intense anxiety and fear.
They did what they could for Arthur, but it still wasn't actually clean. They couldn't get to his bathroom, nor the other rooms of his house, and really, as heavily as he smoked, I have to give them huge applause for being able to withstand that foul stench, along with the terrible smells that had to be in there from all the things rotting away.
Eww- that’s nasty. Who could lay down in that mess? I’m embarrassed for people to come to our house- definitely would not invite anyone in to that mess. Good for Mandy!!! I think her business would be great
He's very likely dead by now. This episode is from one of the early seasons, made from 2009 thru 2013, and as heavily as he smoked, the combo of age and foul habits have likely taken their toll.
They were originally used for procedures and surgery in the mouth and throat, or for opening the mouths of patients who could not do so themselves. Hes a hoarder. Not everybody is perverted. Well maybe you....
It's stuff they acquire over their lifetime and because they don't throw things out it accumulates. A lot of hoarders shop at charity shops so they're not spending much.
What bothers me is when people can admit that they are hoarders and have a problem but say I’m not going to make any sacrifices and they also in the same sentence say that things have to change yet things won’t change and get better if they don’t make sacrifices and yes I get that hoarding is a mental illness and that is not just as simple as cleaning but the person has to make sacrifices and put in the hard work and make the changes that can help you in the long run
I would not be able to set foot in a hoarder house let a lone have a cup of tea or eat. I have been in a light hoarder house that was for sale. A grandmother lived there with her grandson and I was so glad she was moved into a clean nursing home.
I suffer from depression and I have difficulties in keeping my flat tidy sometimes, but I would never let go as is the case for this man. His flat is appalling. So dirty. Hoarding is a sign that the person is totally out of control.
They were originally used for procedures and surgery in the mouth and throat, or for opening the mouths of patients who could not do so themselves. Hes a hoarder. Hoardes have all kinds of stuff they will mot use even food. Not everybody is perverted ffs.
If the audio tapes were so valuable , with the voices of his parents on why did he let them get strewn and damaged all over the place. It doesn't make sense.
Because he believes he can control everything with his mind, just by thinking. Thinking they were safe means they are, to him , that's why these people suffer badly when reality is shown to them. Because they disconnected, 100% believe every thought is truth, is who they are.
Always stems from a major loss - removing items and cleaning their living space doesn't remove the issue in their mind and emotions which is why they do it all over again for security but usually don't realize it. Would love to see more footage with actual help.
Not really. Mental illness and perhaps even a heritable disease. Everyone suffers losses in their life and most don’t hoard. My brother and mother were both hoarders. My mother told people it was after cancer but her hoarding started decades before. Both had addiction to drugs. Hoarding is a selfish act.
The vintage lady has collected really great clothes and accessories. It's all worth it. It's a shame she wasn't able to turn it into an online business.
This episode was from one of the early seasons if I remember correctly---I first saw it back in 2017, and it was old then---so she may not have had the financial resources to set up such a business, nor the business acumen needed. Two of my friends have tried to set up WFH businesses onluine, both of them very well versed in what needs to be done, but they just cannot get them off the ground. Not everything is going to sell well, as they're both finding out, and niche markets really have a hard time. "Vintage" clothes are hot now, in 2024, but I don't know that they were back in the first seasons of this show (2009 thru 2013).
In many of the episodes, they just don't bathe at all, and they use public toilets (I have no idea where. They don't have them as we do here in the States), or they manage to bum the use of a friend's bathroom. There have been many episodes made here in the US showing the outdoor "facilities" people have come up with, using very dirty buckets for their toilet and dumping it all on the ground at the back of their property. They usually set up some kind of bucket shower with a hose that's run from a consenting neighbor's property, and bathe in cold water. That's when the person actually does bathe, which many of them do not. Also, some episodes from here in the US have shown how people have used adult diapers instead of a toilet when there's no running water, and they just keep piling the soiled diapers up in the unused bathtub, often for many years. There is one episode of "Hoarders," the American edition, where a woman who did that just kept piling the diapers on the bathroom floor, not even bagged, and caused the floor of her bathroom to rot through to the point that the diapers were fallling into the basement.
Don’t the property owners of these flats ever do inspections? I live in a small, inexpensive apartment and we have annual inspections where the regional manager and property manager of the complex come around and go inside the apartments to see what they look like, if they are being kept up. Over time, they inspect each and every one. That man would have been long gone from here.
Is he kidding? He doesn't understand why people don't visit him? His home is sickening! Nobody can be so foolish, as to not understand why people don't want to be in that filth!
If someone in America sees a hoard in the UK, you think the American is going to pay the huge costs to fly there, get contaminated, usally filthy, stuff, then pay the exorbitant rates to fly it back home??? Do you think any hoarders in the UK are going to fly to America to pick up more junk for their homes, and have to do the same thing---costs, filth, contamination---??? Not even a reasonable thing to do, and why should anyone else add that filth and clutter to their already abominable houses?
Oh my good this everything people's home,,very sad this. But good you help this everybade people's. 👌😍💃🕺👍👍👍🏡🏠🏚🏘Thank you this good video. And hope its need helping,,this many people's its very long time and sic too. Beace this you help. 🤗👍👍💟💟❣❣
Hoarders need to learn that the accumulation of things that aren’t used is such a waste and detrimental to the environment in the long term. Humans over consume where does it end up? Landfill 😫
I think that’s actually why some hoard because they don’t want to dump it in a landfill, or know the second hand shops will. I feel bad about it too but I won’t buy it to begin with agreed.
Her name is Khim Sim. It's mentioned multiple times and is also in the description. Her name is not "Asian woman" and your backhanded comment is strange.
They were originally used for procedures and surgery in the mouth and throat, or for opening the mouths of patients who could not do so themselves. Hes a hoarder. Not everybody is perverted....
If you can get the hoarder sidetracked, you can get rid of things that they would normally cling to. And then afterward, they don't even remember what was there, so it's not even missed. People can only hold so much in their attention, so ridding them of the excess can be a real blessing, though that fact may not be realized until much later.
On many of the shows, the hoarders are as young as late 20s...and typically extremely obese, as well. There is no "average" age, hoarding being one of those things that can begin as young as pre-kindergarten. That's the American version. The UK version seems to focus more on the middle-age to elderly hoarders.
See you have to send them somewhere else and just do it because they say they are ready but then when they start going through stuff the memories start coming back and they change their minds
I’ve got to be honest….I’m about done with old boomers and their filth. I’ve had to clean out three…yes three houses of old people junk clutter hoarded crap. And I’m just so damn sick of it. Thank god for 1-800-Got-Junk trucks! I’ve hired like ten of them!
I'VE got to be honest and say that I'm done with the younger generations thinking they're so much better than us Boomers. I'm not a hoarder at all, have a minimalist, clean, neat apartment, I'm independent, I drive and do all my own chores and errands, and I have ZERO use for the utterly useless Millennials and Gen Z whiners I come across all the time. I know only two productive Millennials, and only four working, productive Gen Zs. That's pretty sad.
It gets a bit harder after 50 years of someone yelling at you, after you approach with nothing but compassion and patience. See how long you last. It's different in real life.
That's not the least bit reasonable. The homeless would invade and take over the house in only a matter of days, and then where would he be? He's likely dead by now, this episode being from the early seasons (2009 to 2013), but even so, no, that would not be a reasonable or safe option at all.
...I think hoarding has actually been solved since the past 30 and 10 years and thus has become obsolete. Scanners have been around for a very long time, ~30 years or so, he could have scanned all that paper onto a single hard disk over the years and had an empty floor. VR consumer Technology has been around for 10+ years, he could have done photogrammetry on all of his items in his house and have it all one disk simply as 3D objects. All he needed was a bit of effort, a computer, a paper scanner and 3D scanner and he could have stored all of his things on one single VR environment where many could have visited his virtualized collection. Then he could had thrown away everything and while at it had the government and his neighbor's eyes off his property finally. Hoarding is actually very good, but sometimes people have to help themselves into managing it. This man, if he would have gotten with the times, would have had a serene and clean place while keeping everything on a VR world the public could see... Because... what's the use if the world can't see your hoard anyway. Gotta think.
The hoarding MENTALITY, however, has not been made obsolete. And just because the technology exists doesn't mean everyone can afford it, nor that they want it. It's a mental state of mind, of wanting those things to hold onto, something they can actually hold in their hands, can easily (in their delusional minds) look at any time they want to do so. You're trying to put an American "solution" (and not a good one) onto a UK problem, and many of them live in very old homes that have never been rewired for the late 20th century, nevermind the 21st century.
They are ill. Do you also shit on people with depression?? Obviously things need to change for them to lead healthy lives, but what an unhelpful, judgemental, sickening attitude you have.
@@silveryrealm nice that she had (cough, cough) "angels" taking care of her, but that's not reality for everyone. You don't know anything about why the daughter stayed away from her father---who is very likely dead now, the episode having been made waaaay back in the very early seasons of the show (2009i to 2013)---you only see what the producer wanted to put on camera, nothing more.
Don't criticize what you're utterly clueless about. You need to remember, or perhaps learn, that God said not to judge others, because the way you judge them is how YOU are going to be judged. It doesn't matter, either, whether you believe in God, or not, that judgment IS going to happen, so don't be criticizing others for things of which you have zero personal knowledge. You don't know her, you don't know what she may have endured, you haven't been any part of her life.
There’s no way I would drink a cup of tea made in Arthur’s kitchen. He lives inside a biohazard of filth and bacteria. The fish blood palm print on his kitchen wall from decades ago is a fitting touch.
Please God help Arthur to find sense in all his hoardings.
I put this show on when I'm cleaning my house. I don't know what that says about me or the show, but it seems to help lol
I think it helps a lot of people declutter. I know it helps me.
Same, motivation!
It puts things in perspective for me too. It helps me let go of things.
Me, I put some episodes in the background when I don't feel like cleaning.
Being a home maker/ stay at home mom, there will be days that you will feel so lazy, because everyday is the same thing cleaning. Watching these keeps me motivated.
Feels the British version has much more patience & compassion than the American version of these situations. Good job! 😊
I’d love to see Kas and T go to America to clean
Yes, these are much better in every respect.
Do the British hoarders actually get better though, in the long run?
I hope Arthur is still okay. I really liked him. He has a good soul and should be cherished.
Absolutely he should be cherished.
Considering this particular episode is from the earlier seasons, which ran from 2009 thru 2013, it's highly unlikely he's still alive, not the way he smoked constantly.
For being lazy and helpless. Oh ok
He was a passive aggressive control freak
I don’t care if it’s a repeat, but this isn’t clutter, it’s filth. Arthur, there is danger, from bugs and bacteria.
That’s a mental illness.😢😢
🤨 he’s immune to all filth!…good for keeping sticky beak neighbours away!
Out and out filth.
The Manis a filthy pig
Sorry
It's like they don't have any medical/psychology training to understand so they just judge and abandon , which is what we knew would happen all along and why we pushed people away then made sure they wouldn't be able to come back around and hurt us with their fake concern and caring. 😅
Yall's lack of empathy is a direct contribution to hoarding. Good jobs being a right asshole 🎉
When you live in the mess, you don't see it anymore.
what about every time they trip on something or fall down the stairs,and call you to come over and help them? They see the hoard, they just ignore it.
This episode has it all - A sweet guy who clearly needs not just the cleaning help but it would be great for him to socialize as well + the lady whose collection was actually worth it + the lady who found love and a crashing bed.... Ha
Mandy's collection will quickly drop in value when not stored correctly 😢🇦🇺
Such a gentle and kind man.. I hope he is fine now
He was 70 in that episode, which was from one of the early seasons (2009 - 2013), so very likely isn't alive now. He smoked so heavily, it doubtless did its damage.
How heartbreaking to hear he was kind of hoping someone would visit him on his 70th birthday. And no one came 💔 😢 Not even his daughters?
Made me cry now...
Thank you for helping him...
He is visibly grateful...
🇿🇦
Arthur is such a sweet man. I hope he did alright after they left and hopefully finally had some folks over for tea!

That’s terrible. His daughter didn’t acknowledge or take him somewhere for his birthday. They could’ve went to a restaurant.
I don’t think we can judge the kids. You never know how kids will react to a hoarder parent.
They could have GONE to a restaurant, too.
I just don't get hoarding. Clutter makes me feel like I'm being suffocated and it psychologically chases me. Anyone else feel this way?
Yes, it's difficult to think in a mess. It's hard to plan and organize to get things done when you're surrounded with chaos and filth.
I’m with you. I couldn’t live like that. But from what I’ve learned from watching these hoarder stories is those who suffer from this disorder associate their piles of stuff (even if it’s nasty or garbage) with being safe and protected like a cocoon. So losing it or seeing someone remove it causes intense anxiety and fear.
You say you don't understand yet missed the clue - they feel safer, secure in the clutter, like a shield.
I don't get it either but, I look at hoarding as a way to deal with their life as an alcoholic, etc....
I'm a hoarder, but I agree. It stays with you psychologically, since your work is never done.
So happy for Arthur, what a brilliant result 🎉
Those ladies deserve a wonderful raise cleaning up Authors life
They did what they could for Arthur, but it still wasn't actually clean. They couldn't get to his bathroom, nor the other rooms of his house, and really, as heavily as he smoked, I have to give them huge applause for being able to withstand that foul stench, along with the terrible smells that had to be in there from all the things rotting away.

Arthur was a looker in his day, wasn’t he? ♥️♥️♥️ I wish I could visit him! I’d love to hear about his family:) Sweet guy🥹

No one noticed it was a ball gag as the light switch pulley system?

Poor Arthur
I have 10 sundresses and thought i had too many😂

17:13 😂😂 she done lost it.
I think Arthur is a real gem, and would love a chat w/him!

Especially if they want to reconnect with family and friends 🇦🇺
Because the mind and heart are disconnected. Obviously.

I myself find that less is more for me personally
If something is so important, why do you let it get ruined? That’s the mystery of hoarding.
You're right, old man. A hand print of fish slime left on the wall as a remembrance is disgusting. And a sign of mental disturbance.
What was hanging in bathroom at 11:06? Some kind of sex toy. Then he hangs it up outside of bathroom at 11:28. I’m going to puke 🤮

Someone please answer seriously. Where do they bathe and use the toilet?

Mandy's house is not in Richmond, it is in West Molesey...
I don’t want anything from a hoarders home. Even if it is worth money I’m terrified of bedbugs and other creepy crawlers.
I hope Author is doing better. He seems like such a sweety.
I would not
drink that tea eìther
These 2 women are amazing I would just leave Arthur on his own
No way I would wear one of the clothes of Mandy.
Make a list of hoarders so poor people can go get stuff.
The problem is apart from shopping hoarders and people who stack it in plastic tubs, most of the time it's contaminated.
If someone in America sees a hoard in the UK, you think the American is going to pay the huge costs to fly there, get contaminated, usally filthy, stuff, then pay the exorbitant rates to fly it back home???
Do you think any hoarders in the UK are going to fly to America to pick up more junk for their homes, and have to do the same thing---costs, filth, contamination---???

If many lives the way she does, how can she organize an online business?

This gentleman clearly has psychological issues. He needs help not judgement 😢
That's Asian woman's hoarding somehow seems less filthy and more organized than others.
Her name is Khim Sim. It's mentioned multiple times and is also in the description. Her name is not "Asian woman" and your backhanded comment is strange.
The problem with vintage clothing is that women are built differently in todays world unless u r a size 0 or 2
They are not built differently! They are just fat.🤣🥰
Love how hoarders always say that their behavoir isn't related to mental illnes🫠 yeah suuuuure
Do you identify with your thoughts? Do you listen to them and believe them? No? That makes you not mentally ill then if you don't 😁
Crazy people don’t know they are crazy
Im sorry but the vintage clothes lady has many beautiful garments !!
Oh Arthur. I’m so worried he’s going to go up in flames!
He is sick. Psychologically holding on his memories.
He's 70😮 i thought he was 80 or more😮
That's what smoking does to a body, especially as heavily as he smoked.
The Asian lady with Jim is scared to be alone, that's her problem.

See you have to send them somewhere else and just do it because they say they are ready but then when they start going through stuff the memories start coming back and they change their minds
Garage sale 😅
I’ve got to be honest….I’m about done with old boomers and their filth. I’ve had to clean out three…yes three houses of old people junk clutter hoarded crap. And I’m just so damn sick of it. Thank god for 1-800-Got-Junk trucks! I’ve hired like ten of them!
I'VE got to be honest and say that I'm done with the younger generations thinking they're so much better than us Boomers.
I'm not a hoarder at all, have a minimalist, clean, neat apartment, I'm independent, I drive and do all my own chores and errands, and I have ZERO use for the utterly useless Millennials and Gen Z whiners I come across all the time.
I know only two productive Millennials, and only four working, productive Gen Zs. That's pretty sad.
You need a little help with cleaning you're home
If my dad lived like that I would help clean, maybe sit outside for coffee til it was done,not eat there probably as his not clean enough for me.🎉
I tried that. He gets super angry and sends me away. They dont like it when people help.
It gets a bit harder after 50 years of someone yelling at you, after you approach with nothing but compassion and patience. See how long you last. It's different in real life.
He can invite homeless to help
That's not the least bit reasonable. The homeless would invade and take over the house in only a matter of days, and then where would he be? He's likely dead by now, this episode being from the early seasons (2009 to 2013), but even so, no, that would not be a reasonable or safe option at all.
I didn't know Kathy Bates was a hoarder.

...I think hoarding has actually been solved since the past 30 and 10 years and thus has become obsolete. Scanners have been around for a very long time, ~30 years or so, he could have scanned all that paper onto a single hard disk over the years and had an empty floor. VR consumer Technology has been around for 10+ years, he could have done photogrammetry on all of his items in his house and have it all one disk simply as 3D objects. All he needed was a bit of effort, a computer, a paper scanner and 3D scanner and he could have stored all of his things on one single VR environment where many could have visited his virtualized collection. Then he could had thrown away everything and while at it had the government and his neighbor's eyes off his property finally. Hoarding is actually very good, but sometimes people have to help themselves into managing it. This man, if he would have gotten with the times, would have had a serene and clean place while keeping everything on a VR world the public could see... Because... what's the use if the world can't see your hoard anyway. Gotta think.
The hoarding MENTALITY, however, has not been made obsolete. And just because the technology exists doesn't mean everyone can afford it, nor that they want it. It's a mental state of mind, of wanting those things to hold onto, something they can actually hold in their hands, can easily (in their delusional minds) look at any time they want to do so.
You're trying to put an American "solution" (and not a good one) onto a UK problem, and many of them live in very old homes that have never been rewired for the late 20th century, nevermind the 21st century.
This is like saying depression is obsolete because we have SSRIs
These people are lazy on a whole level. It's sickening.
They are ill. Do you also shit on people with depression?? Obviously things need to change for them to lead healthy lives, but what an unhelpful, judgemental, sickening attitude you have.
I think its better to clean yhe house now rather than talking...at least show us the transformation ..
so sad to see that the daughter is all away leaving her father like this. she is just a bad daughter.
He's a bad father. 😢
She should stay away to save her sanity. This man seems sweet but his behaviour is extremely toxic.
@@cleansoapmind You dont give up on your parents, we nursed our grandma who was in coma for 8 months.
@@silveryrealm nice that she had (cough, cough) "angels" taking care of her, but that's not reality for everyone.
You don't know anything about why the daughter stayed away from her father---who is very likely dead now, the episode having been made waaaay back in the very early seasons of the show (2009i to 2013)---you only see what the producer wanted to put on camera, nothing more.
Don't criticize what you're utterly clueless about. You need to remember, or perhaps learn, that God said not to judge others, because the way you judge them is how YOU are going to be judged.
It doesn't matter, either, whether you believe in God, or not, that judgment IS going to happen, so don't be criticizing others for things of which you have zero personal knowledge. You don't know her, you don't know what she may have endured, you haven't been any part of her life.
