After the cockroaches all of the past apartments don't look so bad 😭 maybe except the grandpa with the yellow greesy walls, floors, ceilings and furniture
I can say i've made it now, i've been cleaning my home everyday for weeks and i'm no longer scared of unannounced visitors, it takes around 40minutes everyday (with no kids) to keep on top of things. Thank you Auri for being a huge inspiration. I'm giving birth in a month and now I feel like I can handle being a mom. Edit : at 18 i used to be really depressed and my apartment looked like the ones you clean, but I always cleaned them from top to bottom before giving back the keys or having visit.
I don’t know you but I’m so very proud of you and what you’ve done for yourself! It is so difficult to even start such a challenge and you’ve accomplished your goal through determination and perseverance! Great job! 👍
Congrats! You are very strong to do all cleanings while being pregnant too, you'll be a great mom and I hope there are people supporting you and helping out.
I knew a landlady who rented a house to students during the college year. She was going to be away on their move out day so she asked her son (late teens/early 20's) to get the keys from her tenants. The next day her son called her and said the tenants had destroyed the house (rubbish everywhere, wallpaper ripped, burns and stains on carpets, cupboard doors ripped off, and a hole where someone kicked through a wall!). The landlady contacted the first tenant to give them a piece of her mind. They immediately denied everything. She said she was going to keep their deposit and if they didn't pay for the damages she would start legal proceedings. The tenant said they would email her the photos that were taken by everyone in the house just before her son came to get the keys... And the house was IMMACULATELY clean. Her son had a massive house party the night he got the keys. He and his friends destroyed the property and he was confident he could pass the blame on to the tenants. Moral of the story: When renting, ALWAYS take photos.
Im a janitor at an elementary school. Teachers LOVE placing a million name tag stickers on desks throughout the school. 🤦🏻♀️. Every summer, our jobs take a major slow down because we have to peel and scrape stickers off, and then clean the sticker residue off every single desk. Literally hundreds! 😢. I will try the product you suggested. Other products haven’t helped much.
If for some reason that doesn't work try a blow dryer or a heat gun -- not to the point of melting the sticker, just to heat up the glue on the back so it can peel right off. Hope this helps!
@@therealJamieJoy Ok. We’ll try that. Just looking for a very fast solution because of all the amount worth that we have to do along with moving all the furniture, stripping/waxing all the floors, shampooing all the carpets, cleaning all the surfaces and crevices, cleaning all windows, power washing all the outside and lunch tables, and putting all the furniture back. All while all the other staff and kids are at home relaxing. ☹️
I appreciate the work you are doing. Don't forget a good extension cord that is designed for a heat gun. Most blow dryers can be plugged into normal extension cords. Just practice a little with it until you get the heat right for that particular glue. It works great on bottles. I recently used on a new toilet seat. Why on EARTH they put stickers on new items directly confounds me. Good luck and know you are so appreciated!@@CinderellaRaptured333
The best part of watching Aurikatarina's videos is the educational element, where she shows how the appropriate cleaning products and tools are used for various stains, messes, etc.
It‘s the scariest part of renting out your apartment. You never know if someone‘s going to destroy what you build with your hard earned money 😢 My former landlord once asked me if he could come to see how his apartment looks. Of course I could‘ve said no, but I understood that he just wanted to make sure that everything is fine. He was a very caring landlord so I had no problem with it.
It is so unfair to destroy the property of other people! I help a friend to clean his apartment. I cleaned everything from top to bottom, moving everything 😂😂 he was so happy
why would you destroy a home, have some respect for the place you live in especially if you dont plan to stay it can be someone elses dream house, you're a horrible renter/owner @@pamboone6921
Poor woman! Imagine saving your hard earned money to buy an apparent to create passive income for you and your family, probably hoping it is going to provide for you in your retirement years or planning to gift it to your child and it gets destroyed just like that! Thank you so much Auri for helping this woman ❤ you are the best
My very first place I bought in 2020 was so cute. I got married and moved out so I rented it out. Seemed like a nice young girl with a dog. Two years and an eviction later there was about two years of dog poop baked into the carpets. Girl was not letting her dog out in the day nor cleaning it up. If I hadn't gotten scratch proof LVP downstairs it would have been ruined, you could tell the dog was running around all day down there. HORRIBLE! I feel most bad for the dog.
I don't know, whether you realize, but we usually get the videos from the other perspective: the poor guy/girl with psychological issues who hasn't been able to clean his/her appartment. Now you can see the other side: the destroyed appartment and the investments the owner has to make because of a lazy ass tenant.
That looks like it could be dog pee damage on the floor (I have an anxious dog and this is what part of my floor looks like), combined with the barking it's possible these people locked the dog in the kitchen. Very sad. Am glad you're bringing this apartment back to life!
My coworker rented a house with damage like that (it was fixed before she moved in). The previous occupants had been locking a dog in a closet/spare room, so the back of the door was shredded and the wood floor was ruined. Among other things, the landlord ended up having to replace all of the wood doors in the house because of the damage the tenants had done.
I haven’t been feeling well for the past couple of months, and today was especially hard for me. I made dinner and couldn’t bring myself to clean up tonight, and I almost went to bed with the kitchen being a mess. Then I saw your video though, and I decided “you know what? I’m going to clean with Auri”, and I got it done! I’ve been watching you for a couple years now, and you motivate me so much with your cleanings. My favorite cleaning tip is putting citric acid into my kettle to get the water stains out! ❤
Auri i notice your really happy lately. I don’t know if I’m right but i can feel your emotion with the way you talk. And you really sound sincerely happy. You sounds like your inlove 🥰🥰🥰. So happy for you. God bless you always Auri you deserve to be happy 🥰🥰🥰
Can't believe how much brighter that kitchen is! Thank you for mentioning the second hand shop situation I used to work in 2 different ones and if somebody donated items that where like the items in this kitchen, unfortunately we wouldn't be able to sell them. Even after scrubbing them they would still be not suitable for resale. It's like clothes and books from a smokers home they are also not suitable for resale. 😔. Thank You for another great video xx
You are doing an amazing job Katerina. I love watching your videos. Btw, in Singapore where my daughter lives , the rule is that the tenant has to get the flat professionally cleaned and curtains dry cleaned before they hand over the house. Also the owner or the dealer comes and checks everything to see if anything is broken or needs fixing. Only when they are satisfied is the deposit of 3 months rent , returned to the renter. Otherwise they get things done and deduct accordingly.
I think I've never commented in one of your videos, but I follow your youtube channel since 2022 and I just love your content! Every sunday I have an "auri's moment" that I stop any thing that I'm doing to pay 100% attention to the new cleaning. I'm a huge fan!
Renters potentially trashing a place is exactly why I kept my home vacant when I moved away. I was afraid of what I could return to. Since I returned before planned in just over a year, I was able to move right back into my home in the same condition (plus a little dust) that I left it in. Best decision ever.
@@amiraclefinds4867 Cameras, alarm, and amazing neighbors. Squatters wouldn't have gone unnoticed and they have to prove they were there 30 days to do a formal eviction process. Otherwise, they are trespassing, not squatters. Also, I came home at least once a month for a weekend stay.
She must add some amendements to the rental contract (if she is renting it out ever again) about keeping it clean, and giving her the right to inspect it on a regular basis. And giving her the right to evict renters if they trash the place. You did a great job! It looks superclean now. And now i'm off to clean the top of my kitchen cupboards! I'm inspired!😅🎉
I believe the laws in Finland make it so that the land lady can inspect it without putting it into the contract or anything, but she probably decided not to because she wanted to believe the family. Very sad.
@@AylienYu Yes in Finland the landlord has right to inspect the apartment as long as they contact the tenant and both agree on date and time (if the landlord shows up without agreement then it can be counted as trespassing or something because legally the apartment is the tenant's home). Also if the landlord insist to see the apartment the tenant has to agree on date and time (the tenant can't just say that all of the times given are not good). Like for example I live in rented apartment in Finland and this is my 3rd year in the same apartment. My landlord has been in my apartment 3 times during this time and I have said no to 1 visit. 1st time he was in my apartment was when I signed the contract and he gave me the keys. 2nd time was 1 year after I had started renting the apartment and he came to inspect it (of course he asked me permission before the visit). 3rd time was when one of the other apartments that he is renting had some problems and he came to check my apartment for the same problems (he had asked permission again). And the 1 time when I said that the time wasn't good for me was about 1 month ago. He wanted to do the yearly check but I had just been sick so I said that the time wasn't good for me. He will probably contact me again soon and want to come check the apartment and if I don't have good reason (like me being at work or something) then I have to agree on a time with him.
My old landlord had rules like that, partially from previous tenants. For example, the lease had a requirement about vacuuming weekly (or more) based on the number of pets because the previous tenant had 2 dogs and didn't clean. I think he also had the contracts written so he could technically come in whenever, but would still ask first as a courtesy.
Oh my goodness 😮, from a yellow kitchen to a WHITE KITCHEN 😊. Incredible job you did, Congratulations 👏👏. Blessings to you and your family stay safe and well. 🤗🥰
Someone mentioned dog pee. I think that is exactly what happened to that floor. Unfortunately that will need to be replaced but now you've scrubbed everything clean, and with new cupboard doors, that kitchen will be good to go. You've saved that poor woman a lot of work and money. Another excellent job Auri, and I look forward to seeing what you do to the bathroom!
Nice. All your videos are so inspiring. Whenever I have a list of jobs to do and I feel down and out, I check out your videos and start off completing the chores
Hi, Auri! 👋☺️ Big fan of yours here, all the way from Brazil! I have been checking some of your older videos lately and I could not help noticing the evolution in your narration. You do the voice over for your videos with so much more confidence and emotion now than you did before. Not that your older videos aren’t good enough, on the contrary, I can’t stop watching them, but I feel now you’re more relaxed and sound more comfortable. The more experience you get with the recordings, editing and voice over, the better you perform. I guess mastering the English language also helps with this narration improvement. 😊 Keep up the INCREDIBLE work you do! ❤
Omg I checked your channel just a minute ago to see if the new video dropped yet and here it is! Thank you so much Auri for always lifting my mood with your great videos and positivity ❤
Yes, after dusting off the floor and cleaning off dusty furniture yesterday, it's time to clean the fridge. It's not even dirty. It just needs maintenance to keep it looking like how it came in. I once was a hoarder too. Keeping my home clean definately improved my whole life. I also have laminate flooring through my whole house. Also in the kitchen and near the bathrooms. So to protect it from water, I placed a moisture-absorbing matt in front of the bathroom doors. I also placed 3 moisture-absorbing matts in front of my kitchen sink, the stove and the refrigerator. It will save you from so much trouble and destroying your laminate floor.
And I thought I was naive. Sally must be one of the kindest and most generous people you know But oh my gosh!!! Even if I couldn't afford a real estate attorney to draw up a rental contract, at the very least, I'd go on line to download a tight legal form to protect my property. You can get almost anything on line. I just feel so sorry for her. Thank you Aurikatariina for your love and kindness.
A hot towell left on stove will pull that gunk up too. Just leave it for about a hour. Microwave is easy too. Microwave some hot water in a bowl for like 6 mins then take it out and everything in and on microwave is soft and wipes right off. ❤ Less chemicals used. :)
You are a blessing to so many people, and you have such a good heart ❤ I pray blessings for you and that you continue to thrive doing what you love to do ✝️🙏🏻 God bless you sis 🥰🩷
Today, we cleaned our balcony. In my family we dont say anymore "how clean it is" we say instead "looks like Aurikatarina was here!". You are amazing, love your videos!
My response is high respect... I was a victim in this. I had no help to clean a hoarder hud housing apartment. Twenty years i tried to clean up mommas mess keeping out cps. All cases were dropped off because of.. me. I lied and sacrificed myself to keep my sister from getting taken. I was tried at school too as a twelve year old by cps,i kindly told her to mind her mf bidniz. Just like that. Thanked her for the feel sorry your broke bag of gifts. Truly it was horrible, abusive situation and drugs.. i married as a teenager to a man who was twenty years older since sixteen. Thank you God for giving me the strength to see thirty. Im proud of you baby girl 👋🤝👏👏👏
@@Mrs.TJTaylor is that too soon? I grew up on mork and Mindy,211, Flintstones,Ateam, Beverly hillbillies,Green acres, renegade,mash,all in the family.. I was seventeen paying for two households,had a job, highschool and three kids I raised. Including mental challenged sibling. Only one biological sibling. The other two were my mommas homosexual lover. I was made homeless at seventeen because I chose not accept it as normal. I respect you think I'm young though. I was once OD on Seroquel. Then my husband happened.. did you see God yet? I did. Satan keeps coming for me.. I keep denying him. Just pray for me is all I need. 🫂
@@nowintroducinghertome I don’t know your age and I’m not trying to guess. But you took on a lot of responsibility at too young an age. You didn’t get to be a kid. That’s what happens when parents shirk their parenting. A child will step up to try to fill in the gaps. I bet it made you very strong and it sounds like your husband was a true gift. My husband was a gift, so I understand what it means to finally have real love and a person with whom to share the burdens and blessings of life. My husband was older too. :) Yes, I know God.
I feel for this woman. I had a similar situation with a renter and lost thousands of dollars cleaning and fixing it, along with lost rental income for several months.
Auri you are so amazing u help so many people and familys. You are the true queen of cleaning i have watched you for 2 years and i just want to tell you that this is amazing how you clean in 2 days if that was anyone else it would take a week or 2 weeks max
Because of Auri.. I'm so in love with scrub daddy ... that my husband imported some scrub mommy sponges and power paste for me .. I live in SOUTH AFRICA 😂😂😂😂 I use them veeerrrryyyyy sparingly ... worth every penny!
You could put a pot with hot water in that frozen fridge for a little while with the doors closed to melt the ice, no need to use a hammer. Don't leave it too long, as the ice might flod, but just to remove the big blocks of ice.
I don’t know why but I’m obsessed with cleaning and I so desperately want to help you with the cleaning as well. But I absolutely love your videos, never stop. ❤❤❤
I used to live in a house with Laminated wooden floors. I used a lightly damp Microfiber cloth to mop the floor. I had a bucket with Cold Water mixed with Lysol Multipurpose Cleaner. I dipped the Microfiber in the solution and strained it very well before mopping the floor with it. You need to be careful not to use a warm water or a very damp cloth when cleaning Laminate surfaces.
I would never want that crap in my house Who has the time or mental fortitude to treat a FLOOR like a living creature? Its too much maintenance. A floor is there to be walked on and be durable forever. All floors need a good level of care and cleaning but some types of floors I can’t imagine paying so much money and I can’t even regularly mop it every week. I don’t wear shoes in my house to begin with which solves the need to have to mop it intensely anyway.
@@Ilovevitaminwater The majority of Europeans never wear shoes inside and are baffled by Americans for whom it seems to be the norm. I've never walked with shoes in my home, however the floors need to be clean regardless. I am curious what kind of flooring you have that doesn't require 'much maintenance'.
Those type laminate floors have compressed cardboard as a backing. They are garbage. The new type doesn’t have this backing so water doesn’t bother it. I’ve cleaned over 20 years, and always warn people against laminate and engineered hard wood.
Here in Germany we call tenants like these rental nomads. They have not an ounce of responsibility or any interest in keeping the apartments clean. Often they just disappear over night leaving a vandalized apartment behind! That’s why you can still find some of their belongings….beside the trash .
I watch Auri's videos to motivate myself cleaning, I've also learned a couple things and I can now tidy up almost all of my apartment within an hour 😁🥰
I love your energy❤, before I find out your channel, I thought cleaning is disgusting and boring. And after I watched your videos I realised to clean my home there is nothing disgusting comparing those homes that you clean. And also sometimes if I feel lazy to clean, I watch your videos and compare my cleaning work with yours and think mine is nothing and start cleaning quickly 😂
This is why I. Never rented out or shared my condo. Watching you clean inspires me. I'm coming out of another bout of depression. My home is a mess. I started in my bathroom, then my bedroom. I had to take a break to do things already scheduled, but now am working on the area I spend most of my time. It will get there, but it will not be done in a day. I get it done, go to the next. The last will finally be the guest room(never used but...) and the front addition area.keep the videos coming along with the hints. Bless you.
You are the greatest motivator I could ever ask for. My apartment cleaning session went over so well. The past months have been difficult for me, but now I can invite people over without a second thought. Thank you so much! 😊
I'm starting to love cleaning now, from watching so many Audi videos and getting myself better products. I even tried cleaning the bathroom today despite being ill. Annoyingly, I ended up not finishing and having to go have a lie down, but I'm still glad I did something 😊
I subscribed just from hearing the joy in her her voice. She literally loves what she does. Makes watching the video that much more enjoyable. Only thing, I would have loved to see her get the grout out of the tile in the walls. But, I understand if that would have taken forever.
I love this community so much❤️ i made the mistake of going to some car detail channels and the comments are so hateful toward car owners. Ive seen some videos where the car was even that bad and everyone in the comments were saying "what does their house look like" its just a completely different vibe here and it makes me so happy.
Auri, thank you so much for setting a good example and being able to speak frankly about honesty. Some folks aren’t so fortunate to be taught that as children and your stand may help others learn to be honest.
@@ginismoja2459 I have mine for 3 months now and I wash it in the dishwasher. Still looks like new. The cheap ones after two months look as they are ready to be replaced. So I feel like it’s worth it for me.
Wow this is a super nice kitchen with so much cabinet space❤❤ ok now after you gave it tlc😂...great job again. Sally can praise the Lord that you help her
Hi Auri I've been watching your channel almost since your first YT video. You are amazing and so kind-hearted assisting those who need a helping hand. Your volunteers are great too 👏
You are amazing Auri & so kind to help these people 🙏 The poor lady renting out her apartment 😢I’ve been watching from Australia for some time & also love to clean & help others, I could never do what you do though. I have learnt so much from you ❤
I put in the rental contract that I can inspect the house inside and out and how often. I charge a large deposit and promise to give half of it back after 3 month inspection if I am happy. Before i did this, i had trouble, but not since
Great video, I really enjoyed the change of pace here - I mean, I really like seeing the grimiest and yuckiest cleanings, but this kind of video where you talk more about the cleaning itself and the products you use is sometimes great too. Thank you for all the hard work you do to help people 🥰
Love your stories and the lift you give everyone you help! On odors - a friend rented our two upstairs rooms and small kitchenette down to a couple of individual tenants, and one told him there was a bad odor periodically from the room across the hall. The tenants shared a well maintained bathroom down a short hall from their rooms.... One day while the tenants were gone, Adam walked upstairs and could smell the odor, so checked out the second room - and the tenant was keeping a jar in his room to use as a chamber pot at night - but not emptying daily!! He was appalled, and later gave the fellow notice!
We moved into a house where the kitchen was in almost a similar state as this one and I used all of Auri's tips and products ( Power paste & Scrub daddy of course) to get it back to a state like new😊
You are so sweet and entertaining Auri. I know it sounds crazy, but I keep a permanent smile on my face through your videos regardless of the gross content. Stay blessed!
I've found dish soap and soaking with dish soap can clean almost all the messes in my home. I switched from harsh chemicals like powdered bleach, window cleaner etc since finding your channel. I also found that acid based toilet bowl cleaner is amazing. It's the only harsh chemical I use anymore because we have hard water where I live and nothing else will get rid of the buildup. - I love cleaning my windows and mirrors with dish soap and a microfiber cloth. No more ammonia or streaks!
Hi Auri! I know you won’t notice my comment but I really appreciate you helping people who need a lot of help. I love cleaning too! I know it is a challenge right? But you and me know it is very fun ❤❤
Awesome job. Tenants can be the worse things in the world. Especially to get rid of. Here in America anyway. The poor woman to have her place ruined! Can't wait to see next week!
I'm sorry but the tenants that left the apartment in that state should be paying the full costs of a professional cleaning service. One thing is being depressed and being overwhelmed; one completely different thing is being an asshole and have no respect for other people's belongings. I'm glad you helped the homeowner, but I would still send the bill to the "people" who left the apartment looking like a pigsty.
@@diebosseyyy4904 most people don't have the luxury of having Auri or someone else clean their properties for free. So yeah, depressed or not the tenant should pay for this kind of services.
@@Hatbox948it doesn’t faze her. She has cleaned and touched WAY worse than rotting food. Last year she cleaned the flat of a woman with dementia and had to handle hundreds of used incontinence pads. Another I believe she cleaned used sanitary napkins. She’s made of steel when it comes to anything lol.
You are correct Ari: “I’m impressed.” I love watching your videos, because there is so much potential at everything you look at. We see garbage, dirt & grime; where you see sparkling clean & organized - potential. When are you coming back to the USA? We didn’t have enough time with you. You know, my house is nowhere as bad as those houses that you show, but my house could use some TLC (tender loving care,) & you would perfect to deliver it. I would love to invite you to a tea & talk with you for a while & see what potential do you see in me. Have a blessed week & Happy Day! 💟👋🏿💕🖤💔
I haven’t done laundry or cleaned my room at all since August. I’m so tired of it being nasty. I’m going to clean today. I’ll keep you on my phone in the background with me the whole time to know that I’m not cleaning along
I used to be a resident landlord (a subtenant agreement). I finally learned: NEVER feel sorry for anyone and give them a chance. They are unfortunately 90% of the time users & manipulators. I had to learn this lesson TOO MANY TIMES. :( IF YOU HAVE A WEIRD FEELING, DON'T DO IT!!!
You know you've watched too many Auri videos when your first thought is "it's not so bad, you can see the floor at the beginning!" 😂

Guess the son pissed away his inheritance.
So glad they did!
Wow! That is extremely disappointing. What an absolute jerk that son acted like! I don't even know how I would react! Yikes.

Most landlords visit every 6-12 months. It's a standard lease agreement. Luckily I'm clean!

My coworker rented a house with damage like that (it was fixed before she moved in). The previous occupants had been locking a dog in a closet/spare room, so the back of the door was shredded and the wood floor was ruined. Among other things, the landlord ended up having to replace all of the wood doors in the house because of the damage the tenants had done.
I haven’t been feeling well for the past couple of months, and today was especially hard for me. I made dinner and couldn’t bring myself to clean up tonight, and I almost went to bed with the kitchen being a mess. Then I saw your video though, and I decided “you know what? I’m going to clean with Auri”, and I got it done! I’ve been watching you for a couple years now, and you motivate me so much with your cleanings. My favorite cleaning tip is putting citric acid into my kettle to get the water stains out! ❤
Auri i notice your really happy lately. I don’t know if I’m right but i can feel your emotion with the way you talk. And you really sound sincerely happy. You sounds like your inlove 🥰🥰🥰. So happy for you. God bless you always Auri you deserve to be happy 🥰🥰🥰
Can't believe how much brighter that kitchen is! Thank you for mentioning the second hand shop situation I used to work in 2 different ones and if somebody donated items that where like the items in this kitchen, unfortunately we wouldn't be able to sell them. Even after scrubbing them they would still be not suitable for resale. It's like clothes and books from a smokers home they are also not suitable for resale. 😔. Thank You for another great video xx
Even if the floor is being replaced, I'm sure whoever is tearing up the old floor will appreciate it being clean! 🧹
Gorgeous work as always!
You are doing an amazing job Katerina. I love watching your videos. Btw, in Singapore where my daughter lives , the rule is that the tenant has to get the flat professionally cleaned and curtains dry cleaned before they hand over the house. Also the owner or the dealer comes and checks everything to see if anything is broken or needs fixing. Only when they are satisfied is the deposit of 3 months rent , returned to the renter. Otherwise they get things done and deduct accordingly.
"I always wonder where the dirt came from." I hear you--even in my own home!
I thought you made the mistake of renting your beautiful renovated apartment in Finland to somebody and they trashed it 😅 glad it's still safe!
I think I've never commented in one of your videos, but I follow your youtube channel since 2022 and I just love your content! Every sunday I have an "auri's moment" that I stop any thing that I'm doing to pay 100% attention to the new cleaning. I'm a huge fan!
It is really upsetting when people destroy someones property so carelessly…. 😕
Renters potentially trashing a place is exactly why I kept my home vacant when I moved away. I was afraid of what I could return to. Since I returned before planned in just over a year, I was able to move right back into my home in the same condition (plus a little dust) that I left it in. Best decision ever.
Thank God you didn't have squatters
@@amiraclefinds4867 Cameras, alarm, and amazing neighbors. Squatters wouldn't have gone unnoticed and they have to prove they were there 30 days to do a formal eviction process. Otherwise, they are trespassing, not squatters. Also, I came home at least once a month for a weekend stay.
Wow! what a transformation!! The kitchen was yellow before and now that Auri cleaned it, it is white. Wow!! Great job!!
Thank you Auri for always being such a bright spot in my day. Almost 4 million followers!! You go girl! 💖
Thank you so so much 🩷🩷🩷
She must add some amendements to the rental contract (if she is renting it out ever again) about keeping it clean, and giving her the right to inspect it on a regular basis. And giving her the right to evict renters if they trash the place. You did a great job! It looks superclean now.
And now i'm off to clean the top of my kitchen cupboards!
I'm inspired!😅🎉
I believe the laws in Finland make it so that the land lady can inspect it without putting it into the contract or anything, but she probably decided not to because she wanted to believe the family. Very sad.
@@AylienYu Yes in Finland the landlord has right to inspect the apartment as long as they contact the tenant and both agree on date and time (if the landlord shows up without agreement then it can be counted as trespassing or something because legally the apartment is the tenant's home).
Also if the landlord insist to see the apartment the tenant has to agree on date and time (the tenant can't just say that all of the times given are not good).
Like for example I live in rented apartment in Finland and this is my 3rd year in the same apartment. My landlord has been in my apartment 3 times during this time and I have said no to 1 visit.
1st time he was in my apartment was when I signed the contract and he gave me the keys.
2nd time was 1 year after I had started renting the apartment and he came to inspect it (of course he asked me permission before the visit).
3rd time was when one of the other apartments that he is renting had some problems and he came to check my apartment for the same problems (he had asked permission again).
And the 1 time when I said that the time wasn't good for me was about 1 month ago. He wanted to do the yearly check but I had just been sick so I said that the time wasn't good for me. He will probably contact me again soon and want to come check the apartment and if I don't have good reason (like me being at work or something) then I have to agree on a time with him.
My old landlord had rules like that, partially from previous tenants. For example, the lease had a requirement about vacuuming weekly (or more) based on the number of pets because the previous tenant had 2 dogs and didn't clean. I think he also had the contracts written so he could technically come in whenever, but would still ask first as a courtesy.
Am an au pair and am really motivated by her videos.
Am not supposed to clean the bath rooms here but I clean because it's so satisfying😂
The plastic wrap idea has helped me so much. Thanks girl!!! ❤️
Meg from Texas here! I love what you do for others! You’re amazing!
Thank youu
@@Aurikatariinayou have done a great job!
Keep it up ❤️😊
Im texas too jack ❤
Texas girl here too! 😊
i love your accent and voice!!!!!! don't be discouraged about it ever, it's what most of us love additionally from your amazing personality!!!
How beautiful is cleanliness? You clean more than very well ❤
Has a heart of Gold the way she just cleans House's up.
Oh my goodness 😮, from a yellow kitchen to a WHITE KITCHEN 😊. Incredible job you did, Congratulations 👏👏. Blessings to you and your family stay safe and well. 🤗🥰
Your English is sounding so good. I think you must have been practising a lot!
Thank You love you too bestie
Someone mentioned dog pee. I think that is exactly what happened to that floor. Unfortunately that will need to be replaced but now you've scrubbed everything clean, and with new cupboard doors, that kitchen will be good to go. You've saved that poor woman a lot of work and money. Another excellent job Auri, and I look forward to seeing what you do to the bathroom!
I dont think the sticky and oily mess is from cooking,but probably the tar from smoking, having many people constantly smoking in the rooms..
maybe also smoking dR*g$
You would smell the nicotine. If it’s sticky, it could be pot.
Nice. All your videos are so inspiring. Whenever I have a list of jobs to do and I feel down and out, I check out your videos and start off completing the chores
I do, too!!!!
I do as well!
Love hearing the stories about the places you clean makes the journey all the more interesting to watch ❤
Hi, Auri! 👋☺️ Big fan of yours here, all the way from Brazil! I have been checking some of your older videos lately and I could not help noticing the evolution in your narration. You do the voice over for your videos with so much more confidence and emotion now than you did before. Not that your older videos aren’t good enough, on the contrary, I can’t stop watching them, but I feel now you’re more relaxed and sound more comfortable. The more experience you get with the recordings, editing and voice over, the better you perform. I guess mastering the English language also helps with this narration improvement. 😊 Keep up the INCREDIBLE work you do! ❤
Omg I checked your channel just a minute ago to see if the new video dropped yet and here it is! Thank you so much Auri for always lifting my mood with your great videos and positivity ❤
Yes, after dusting off the floor and cleaning off dusty furniture yesterday, it's time to clean the fridge. It's not even dirty. It just needs maintenance to keep it looking like how it came in. I once was a hoarder too. Keeping my home clean definately improved my whole life. I also have laminate flooring through my whole house. Also in the kitchen and near the bathrooms. So to protect it from water, I placed a moisture-absorbing matt in front of the bathroom doors. I also placed 3 moisture-absorbing matts in front of my kitchen sink, the stove and the refrigerator. It will save you from so much trouble and destroying your laminate floor.
That cling wrap and oven cleaner trick works great!
It really does! I used it on my stainless steel kettle that gets greasy from frying foods on other burners next to it. It works!!
@@karencox3235 yes!!! I had no idea it was so effective !
And I thought I was naive.
Sally must be one of the kindest and most generous people you know
But oh my gosh!!!
Even if I couldn't afford a real estate attorney to draw up a rental contract, at the very least, I'd go on line to download a tight legal form to protect my property.
You can get almost anything on line.
I just feel so sorry for her.
Thank you Aurikatariina for your love and kindness.
A hot towell left on stove will pull that gunk up too. Just leave it for about a hour. Microwave is easy too. Microwave some hot water in a bowl for like 6 mins then take it out and everything in and on microwave is soft and wipes right off. ❤ Less chemicals used. :)
You are a blessing to so many people, and you have such a good heart ❤ I pray blessings for you and that you continue to thrive doing what you love to do ✝️🙏🏻 God bless you sis 🥰🩷
Best sister's i have heard about ! They recognize thereselves❤❤❤❤❤God bless you !!!
You're the only way I can get rid of my stress Auri. Thank you sis for your big and kind heart❤
Today, we cleaned our balcony. In my family we dont say anymore "how clean it is" we say instead "looks like Aurikatarina was here!". You are amazing, love your videos!
You are truly an angel in what you do. ❤ I love these videos.
My response is high respect... I was a victim in this. I had no help to clean a hoarder hud housing apartment. Twenty years i tried to clean up mommas mess keeping out cps. All cases were dropped off because of.. me. I lied and sacrificed myself to keep my sister from getting taken. I was tried at school too as a twelve year old by cps,i kindly told her to mind her mf bidniz. Just like that. Thanked her for the feel sorry your broke bag of gifts. Truly it was horrible, abusive situation and drugs.. i married as a teenager to a man who was twenty years older since sixteen. Thank you God for giving me the strength to see thirty. Im proud of you baby girl 👋🤝👏👏👏
Don’t know you, but I’m proud of you anyway. You grew up too soon. And you did it for someone else, your sister. Much love and respect.
@@Mrs.TJTaylor is that too soon? I grew up on mork and Mindy,211, Flintstones,Ateam, Beverly hillbillies,Green acres, renegade,mash,all in the family.. I was seventeen paying for two households,had a job, highschool and three kids I raised. Including mental challenged sibling. Only one biological sibling. The other two were my mommas homosexual lover. I was made homeless at seventeen because I chose not accept it as normal. I respect you think I'm young though. I was once OD on Seroquel. Then my husband happened.. did you see God yet? I did. Satan keeps coming for me.. I keep denying him. Just pray for me is all I need. 🫂
@@nowintroducinghertome I don’t know your age and I’m not trying to guess. But you took on a lot of responsibility at too young an age. You didn’t get to be a kid. That’s what happens when parents shirk their parenting. A child will step up to try to fill in the gaps. I bet it made you very strong and it sounds like your husband was a true gift. My husband was a gift, so I understand what it means to finally have real love and a person with whom to share the burdens and blessings of life. My husband was older too. :) Yes, I know God.
Not to be dramatic but I trust auri with my life
every time your plaits nearly swing into the filth, I have a heart attack 😂 love your videos ❤
I feel for this woman. I had a similar situation with a renter and lost thousands of dollars cleaning and fixing it, along with lost rental income for several months.
Auri you are so amazing u help so many people and familys. You are the true queen of cleaning i have watched you for 2 years and i just want to tell you that this is amazing how you clean in 2 days if that was anyone else it would take a week or 2 weeks max
Amgus!
Because of Auri.. I'm so in love with scrub daddy ... that my husband imported some scrub mommy sponges and power paste for me .. I live in SOUTH AFRICA 😂😂😂😂 I use them veeerrrryyyyy sparingly ... worth every penny!
You could put a pot with hot water in that frozen fridge for a little while with the doors closed to melt the ice, no need to use a hammer. Don't leave it too long, as the ice might flod, but just to remove the big blocks of ice.
I don’t know why but I’m obsessed with cleaning and I so desperately want to help you with the cleaning as well. But I absolutely love your videos, never stop. ❤❤❤
I used to live in a house with Laminated wooden floors. I used a lightly damp Microfiber cloth to mop the floor. I had a bucket with Cold Water mixed with Lysol Multipurpose Cleaner. I dipped the Microfiber in the solution and strained it very well before mopping the floor with it. You need to be careful not to use a warm water or a very damp cloth when cleaning Laminate surfaces.
I would never want that crap in my house
Who has the time or mental fortitude to treat a FLOOR like a living creature? Its too much maintenance. A floor is there to be walked on and be durable forever. All floors need a good level of care and cleaning but some types of floors I can’t imagine paying so much money and I can’t even regularly mop it every week. I don’t wear shoes in my house to begin with which solves the need to have to mop it intensely anyway.
@@Ilovevitaminwater The majority of Europeans never wear shoes inside and are baffled by Americans for whom it seems to be the norm. I've never walked with shoes in my home, however the floors need to be clean regardless. I am curious what kind of flooring you have that doesn't require 'much maintenance'.
Those type laminate floors have compressed cardboard as a backing. They are garbage. The new type doesn’t have this backing so water doesn’t bother it. I’ve cleaned over 20 years, and always warn people against laminate and engineered hard wood.
@@ginismoja2459 i have separate shoes for indoors and outdoors
Here in Germany we call tenants like these rental nomads. They have not an ounce of responsibility or any interest in keeping the apartments clean. Often they just disappear over night leaving a vandalized apartment behind! That’s why you can still find some of their belongings….beside the trash .
Who loves watching Auri clean?!😊🥰
Wow if we didn't know better you'd think the kitchen had been painted back to white! Amazing how much grease and dirt can alter the colors of things!
Another awesome transformation! Prayers that Sally gets a better tenant next time!
I am so excited when you post a new video... then I'm sad when it's finished...i just want to keep watching!!
I love to clean and you have taught me so many things to make it easier! Thank you ! I have even taught my landlord some cleaning tips !
I watch Auri's videos to motivate myself cleaning, I've also learned a couple things and I can now tidy up almost all of my apartment within an hour
😁🥰
I love your energy❤, before I find out your channel, I thought cleaning is disgusting and boring. And after I watched your videos I realised to clean my home there is nothing disgusting comparing those homes that you clean. And also sometimes if I feel lazy to clean, I watch your videos and compare my cleaning work with yours and think mine is nothing and start cleaning quickly 😂
I'm pregnant and nesting right now and these videos are so nice to watch while I deep clean our house
This is why I. Never rented out or shared my condo. Watching you clean inspires me. I'm coming out of another bout of depression. My home is a mess. I started in my bathroom, then my bedroom. I had to take a break to do things already scheduled, but now am working on the area I spend most of my time. It will get there, but it will not be done in a day. I get it done, go to the next. The last will finally be the guest room(never used but...) and the front addition area.keep the videos coming along with the hints. Bless you.
You are the greatest motivator I could ever ask for. My apartment cleaning session went over so well. The past months have been difficult for me, but now I can invite people over without a second thought. Thank you so much! 😊
I'm starting to love cleaning now, from watching so many Audi videos and getting myself better products. I even tried cleaning the bathroom today despite being ill. Annoyingly, I ended up not finishing and having to go have a lie down, but I'm still glad I did something 😊
That place was far too easy for you, Auri! Great job and looking forward to watching the next room being transformed!
A little tip if you don’t have a sticker remover: rub some citrus essential oil on the sticker and scrape it 😊
I don't have citrus essential oil, lol.
@@ginismoja2459 maybe get it at a dollar store like shop
And this tip I also need ❤❤❤
Hello Friends, have a beautiful and blessed day! 😊🙏❤
I subscribed just from hearing the joy in her her voice. She literally loves what she does. Makes watching the video that much more enjoyable. Only thing, I would have loved to see her get the grout out of the tile in the walls. But, I understand if that would have taken forever.
Auri, you are a lovely person - inside and out!🥰
I love this community so much❤️ i made the mistake of going to some car detail channels and the comments are so hateful toward car owners. Ive seen some videos where the car was even that bad and everyone in the comments were saying "what does their house look like" its just a completely different vibe here and it makes me so happy.
Auri, thank you so much for setting a good example and being able to speak frankly about honesty. Some folks aren’t so fortunate to be taught that as children and your stand may help others learn to be honest.
That poor lady some tenants are awful those type make it hard for decent ones Yes Auri that kitchen came up great
Auri, I got a scrub mommy because of you and I love it! I have one for the bathroom and another one for the kitchen. 💖
Same here 😁 and I began cleaning with a dish brush, too
Those are way too expensive though.
@@ginismoja2459 I have mine for 3 months now and I wash it in the dishwasher. Still looks like new. The cheap ones after two months look as they are ready to be replaced. So I feel like it’s worth it for me.
Me too. And my family loves the face. 😅 I love the quality.
Wow this is a super nice kitchen with so much cabinet space❤❤ ok now after you gave it tlc😂...great job again. Sally can praise the Lord that you help her
Thanks Auri,
So good you now have a cleaning book.
I just bought your cleaning book online.
I love listening to you, Auri. You're so articulate and intelligent and compassionate and endearing. My cleaning bestie ❤
Hi Auri
I've been watching your channel almost since your first YT video. You are amazing and so kind-hearted assisting those who need a helping hand. Your volunteers are great too 👏
You are amazing Auri & so kind to help these people 🙏 The poor lady renting out her apartment 😢I’ve been watching from Australia for some time & also love to clean & help others, I could never do what you do though. I have learnt so much from you ❤
I put in the rental contract that I can inspect the house inside and out and how often. I charge a large deposit and promise to give half of it back after 3 month inspection if I am happy. Before i did this, i had trouble, but not since
God bless you and keep you. You are such a blessing to so many people. 🤗💜
Great video, I really enjoyed the change of pace here - I mean, I really like seeing the grimiest and yuckiest cleanings, but this kind of video where you talk more about the cleaning itself and the products you use is sometimes great too.
Thank you for all the hard work you do to help people 🥰
Love your stories and the lift you give everyone you help!
On odors - a friend rented our two upstairs rooms and small kitchenette down to a couple of individual tenants, and one told him there was a bad odor periodically from the room across the hall. The tenants shared a well maintained bathroom down a short hall from their rooms....
One day while the tenants were gone, Adam walked upstairs and could smell the odor, so checked out the second room - and the tenant was keeping a jar in his room to use as a chamber pot at night - but not emptying daily!! He was appalled, and later gave the fellow notice!
We moved into a house where the kitchen was in almost a similar state as this one and I used all of Auri's tips and products ( Power paste & Scrub daddy of course) to get it back to a state like new😊
That sini brush is looking good ❤
You are so sweet and entertaining Auri. I know it sounds crazy, but I keep a permanent smile on my face through your videos regardless of the gross content. Stay blessed!
I've found dish soap and soaking with dish soap can clean almost all the messes in my home. I switched from harsh chemicals like powdered bleach, window cleaner etc since finding your channel. I also found that acid based toilet bowl cleaner is amazing. It's the only harsh chemical I use anymore because we have hard water where I live and nothing else will get rid of the buildup. - I love cleaning my windows and mirrors with dish soap and a microfiber cloth. No more ammonia or streaks!
This is sad but thank God you were there. God bless you.❤❤❤❤😊💪🎉
Wow everything became so white, like a snow landscape
Her videos always make me want to clean😊
Hi Auri! I know you won’t notice my comment but I really appreciate you helping people who need a lot of help. I love cleaning too! I know it is a challenge right? But you and me know it is very fun ❤❤
Awesome job. Tenants can be the worse things in the world. Especially to get rid of. Here in America anyway. The poor woman to have her place ruined! Can't wait to see next week!
I'm sorry but the tenants that left the apartment in that state should be paying the full costs of a professional cleaning service.
One thing is being depressed and being overwhelmed; one completely different thing is being an asshole and have no respect for other people's belongings. I'm glad you helped the homeowner, but I would still send the bill to the "people" who left the apartment looking like a pigsty.
I can't believe she holds that rotten food in her hand. I'd be so grossed out.
@@diebosseyyy4904 most people don't have the luxury of having Auri or someone else clean their properties for free. So yeah, depressed or not the tenant should pay for this kind of services.
@@Hatbox948it doesn’t faze her. She has cleaned and touched WAY worse than rotting food. Last year she cleaned the flat of a woman with dementia and had to handle hundreds of used incontinence pads. Another I believe she cleaned used sanitary napkins. She’s made of steel when it comes to anything lol.
@@JadeLeaf1980 For me personally, that might be where I'd have to draw the line. 😬
@@Hatbox948 ditto 🤣
You are correct Ari: “I’m impressed.” I love watching your videos, because there is so much potential at everything you look at. We see garbage, dirt & grime; where you see sparkling clean & organized - potential. When are you coming back to the USA? We didn’t have enough time with you. You know, my house is nowhere as bad as those houses that you show, but my house could use some TLC (tender loving care,) & you would perfect to deliver it. I would love to invite you to a tea & talk with you for a while & see what potential do you see in me.
Have a blessed week & Happy Day! 💟👋🏿💕🖤💔
I haven’t done laundry or cleaned my room at all since August. I’m so tired of it being nasty. I’m going to clean today. I’ll keep you on my phone in the background with me the whole time to know that I’m not cleaning along
I used to be a resident landlord (a subtenant agreement). I finally learned: NEVER feel sorry for anyone and give them a chance. They are unfortunately 90% of the time users & manipulators. I had to learn this lesson TOO MANY TIMES. :(
IF YOU HAVE A WEIRD FEELING, DON'T DO IT!!!
