If you are annoyed by the incessant background chatter in this particular video, just know that it gets better as the series goes on. I tried to pick areas to work on where there wouldn't be so much background chatter as I continued working in this home. Thanks for your patience!
I can see where Bonnie gets her hard work ethics and determination from. Enjoy seeing you both help eachother and your exchanges together are just wonderful! You are an amazing mom and raised an amazing daughter! Thank you both for helping and helping the viewers too!
I think what your daughter is doing for all of these wonderful people is so admirable. She quite obviously cares with her whole heart. I suffer from PTSD and a lot of childhood trauma that I’m working hard on with a lot of help and I think for me the one constant on my journey is the complete absence of any kind of judgement because in reality, no one wants to be at risk and now at 39 and having severe degenerative disc disease and 2 botched spinal fusions and more surgeries to come. No one chooses trauma. We all deal with things in many different ways but at the end of the day we are all humans. I absolutely love watching these videos for what your daughter does and you as well ❤ but it also helps to not feel so alone. Very inspiring all the way around ❤ you’re all a true blessing
It was My Pleasure working with you. You are such a sweetie to help this person out. I would love to come and help more. Can't say thank you enough for the opportunity. Like Bonnie says please be kind in the comments. She really needs the help. She is a sweet and kind person. Send Love and Hugs Not negative comments. 💞😍😘🤗
Good Lord Hun. You worked and scrubbed your fingers off. Hoarding disease runs in my family. My Mother was a hoarder and her Mother was too. I have a sister that is buried alive. Alot of people don't understand the disease. I'm not sure I fully understand it myself. Thank God I didn't inherit that gene. I'm more of a "Clean Freak" since growing up in a situation like that. God bless all of you for helping this lady and her husband get some kind of order back into their home. You guys did some detailed cleaning up in there. 👍👍🫂❤
I have decided it is up there with schizophrenia as far as one of the worst mental disorders. It really disrupts so many things and, not only is it usually caused by trauma, but it can traumatize all of those involved in the hoarder's life. I totally understand going the exact opposite direction growing up in a house like that and yet I also understand how that just becomes the norm and you just continue living like that. It's such a difficult thing to treat and so sad to watch what it does to the hoarder and their family.😔
I am sorry I hear from you . Why you stop clean up the house no more ? I want you come back clean out hoard . I wish enjoy watch your video every day and night . Noatter what . I want you need be kind clean up the house every day . God bless you . I miss you and watch your video . I am so sad
Love to watch you & listen to you explain the what, why & how of your process. In this video I loved that you had help. It's a lot to do for one person. Your mom is awesome. And, Lisa. It's fantastic that you gave her the chance to help a person also.
It never ceases to amaze me how a small group of women can come together and help change another woman's life for the better. This is the definition of Girl Power! We all need support and understanding from others and this was so wonderful to see. You rallied around her and lifted her up with your help!
I’m one of those people who have a “trauma timeline”. Once things reach critical mass your nervous system basically goes into partial collapse. I actually started mysteriously fainting at random times without medical explanation. I almost had to give up driving because I’d be found passed out in car parks. Anyone standing in judgement of people like this lady have probably not walked a mile in her shoes, or they have had sufficient support around them that they were able to cope just enough to get through. I get it. The human body and psyche was never equipped to endure unending high levels of traumatic stress without periods of recovery. I’m doing much better now but my heart goes out to everyone fighting for their survival. Bonnie, you are truly a blessing to humanity.
I agree with your statement about the human body and psyche not being "equipped to endure unending high levels of traumatic stress without periods of recovery." Very well said. I'm so glad you're in a better place and I hope "Julie" can get there. If you are just starting this series of her house, you will see by the last one that things did not end up very well as hard as we tried, but I'm still holding out hope she will get the therapy she needs to truly deal with this disorder.
@@JustJ-Me It was through a company called Velox, but I think they may just be Utah-based. I'm sure if you Google "storage pod rentals near me," you could find something similar.
Im surprised how many perfect people there are in the world that they can judge people so harshly. I think its great that people like Bonnie, Mack, and Barbie and all the others have created a community to help people.
One of the most important concepts you mentioned and demonstrated in this video was the idea of compassionate "companioning." Three generations of women being present to help another woman who is suffering. It used to be common in communities, but not so much these days. I was deeply moved to see it in action again in this video. Thankyou to Bonnie, Mum and Lisa.
Yes, I'm learning that is a big part in helping these individuals. They need to feel listened to and understood before they can really trust you enough to actually help them. I think so often people would come in and just toss everything out because it's not valuable to them, but that just re-traumatizes the person to whom it is valuable to. It's sad that so often their voice has not really been heard.
It's so awesome that she got the help now and not later. Yes it was a really bad situation but from what I've seen so far, you could still save a lot of stuff. Had she waited longer you might have been faced with walls and mountains of her decomposing belongings and much more biohazard
Worth the wait! Bonnie, STOP! being so apologetic about yourself. STOP!!!!! You are a force of nature, as is your Mother. The welcome addition of your helper looks like the beginnings of an army!
Was I? I actually don't remember being that apologetic in this one, but it's very possible. Still getting that confidence. Thank you for your kind words!💕
I would have to wear ear plugs to be able to cope with her incessant talking. Just what you've shown makes me feel total panic!! Just the talking, not the stuff. That is amazing that you do her laundry. You never cease to amaze me! As I've gotten older it has been harder to keep the amount of things under control, so I understand with trauma how it can consume. I pray this will make her feel amazing! Great job!!!
Yes, honestly, all the talking was hurting my brain. 😬It has been better the last couple times I've been there as I have been working in the basement and more by myself or with one other person.
I like watching videos like this where people are helping other people clean and declutter their homes. I feel I get inspired to clean and declutter and organize my own home
I don’t think it matters how you choose to clean as long as the outcome is the same, there may be faster methods or methods that are better for the enviroment but for messes like this… as long as it gets clean and improves the owners quality of life who cares how you get there. Thank you for being so willing to help people clean up their homes, I’m sure it brings them such relief!
HUGS for Julie. Life is hard and sometimes we fall short. I stand all amazed that you were able to ask for help. And thank you to all of your helpers. Have a great weekend. ❤🩹
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp I most certainly know how hard it is to ask for help. My clothing has been in disorderly heaps for AGES. But tonight we (my hubby and I) grabbed a BIG trash bag and filled in all the clothing that I no longer wear (nor do they fit), but they were too good to trash. So tomorrow my friend gets TWO big bags of clothing to look at. (And I told her another friends name who can take, what she can't use). It feels SO good.
I’m glad that you gave her a voice and we got to hear from her. Slightly triggering to me was hearing “my children should have helped me”. I have cleaned up 1 hoarder relative house (who was moved to a nursing home specializing in dementia) and my family took in my cousin after she left my aunts house due to her moms hoarding. All I can say is that if your adult children don’t visit you, there is a reason for it. I understand my aunt has a mental illness but she was also abusive to me cousin both physically and mentally (invasion of private space). Both can be true at the same time.I’m happy Julie is getting treatment, but the way she talks sends chills down my spine cause she sounds exactly like my aunt. The “I chose to forgive” and a lot of talk about how other people are bad or how she understands that she is “inconveniencing” their lives but it’s “their problem” screams victim complex which a lot of abusers seem to have. I can’t say for sure but it sounded like her child was a victim of self harm and she is trying to make it not her fault. I’m glad MMC talked on this before about not blaming the kids of hoarders. I know my cousin will NEVER help her mom and I back her fully. She will have the pay the Finacial price of someone doing a professional cleaning and that is fair for slapping my cousin around. I hope she gets treatment and can become a better person. My favorite quote is from Marcus Parks from LPN which is “mental illness is never your fault, but is your responsibility”. Seems like Julie is making good progress and has a long road still in front of her.
You and your mom are amazing and “Julie” is great for asking for help. As Mack says, even if they regress they had a period of living in a clean, orderly space. Such a blessing!
The fact that you are willing to take on such a huge job with so much compassion is inspiring. That kitchen looks fabulous! What a great team effort. :)
I have a friend that has hoarding issues, she allowed to help her once when her older daughter was getting married and she wanted a small Gathering at home. I couldn’t understand her, but I remain quiet and help her. She did had a couple of traumatic events in her life. Thank you for helping me understand her better.
Had to pause this one twice - once to dust my living room furniture and once to clean my entry way floor. Thank you for getting me off my behind! And thank you for what you are doing for others. You make a difference.
That's the best reason to pause a video.😄 I love that it motivated you! I also will put on one of my favorite cleaning channels while I am cleaning to casually watch and listen to because it helps to motivate me. It's kind of like I'm cleaning with a friend.🤗❤️
I carry my phone around with me while dusting room to room while playing cleaning videos and set phone on mantel, hutch ect... great company and motivation and get to watch in between dusting pictures and knick nacks ect., folding laundry, doing dishes, ect. , I end up looking for things to do to finish a video! tks Bonnie! (Mack, Barbie, Mira!) (Coline too!) You each have your gifted Super Powers that motivate us, but you are all incredible making the transformations happen! Gives us all hope looking at our weekly, daily, monthly, yearly messes and awesome cleaning tips too!
It's amazing that there are people who take time out of their life to watch an entire video and then make the effort to craft a snarky, hateful remark. Who has the time for such negativity?! Oh, they didn't actually watch the video? They just scrolled, saw a few seconds with an imperfect situation, made a snap judgment, and then allowed themselves to feel superior by leaving an ignorant uninformed comment. Well, I am not sure who I pity more, the person who hateful or the ignorant. Well, it's not the home owner because she's got Bonbon on her team! Great job Bonster and great job Home owner, so proud of you both.
Yep, you described perfectly the type of scenario that I envision when people leave negative comments. I never feel bad for deleting those remarks because they didn't even take the time to watch the video and I can tell from their comments. So...buh-bye! 😊
It amazes me how you are able to sort out all that chaos. It must feel really liberating and a bit weird for Julie to have so much more space available. I work as a social worker and I have seen my fair share of flats in more or less catastrophic states, I wish there were more people like you! I know how hard it is. ❤ (And yes, I often helped my clients to start the process of decluttering and cleaning. Especially the younger ones who are often quite clueless about keeping their flats in check or how they can conquer their laundry, dishes and overall stains.) I loved doing that and I always tried to get my hands on these clients. 🥰
Great work! The “trolls” will find their way to try to spoil something that is working. Such sadness and ager resides in them. BUT, you rise above them because, they will never understand true goodness.keep on keeping on. I understand completely working quietly. It’s therapeutic and calming. You are wise to accept help in certain situations in order to get the job done. Bless you.
Thank you! I think next time I work there, I'm going to try to pick an area to work on with some earbuds and music on because I definitely have had a lot of anxiety with all of the constant chatter while working there, but I knew it was kind of necessary especially in the beginning to have that much help and that much input from the homeowner, but now that I know a little bit about what our goals are, I feel like I can work a little bit more on my own and get a lot of organizing into categories done.😊
I think you have a super power in real life Bonnie. This is going to make the home owner feel great. When you have a messy or hoarded house it really weighs heavy on your mind and self esteem. You are very inspiring! ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I give you enormous credit for being able to handle the chatter. I would not have been able to do it. Way too much stimulation for me. You are a blessing
I was actually losing my mind a little bit with all the chatter. I had to make other arrangements the other times that I went over there to make sure that I wasn't surrounded by so much talking. It was kind of necessary those first couple of days just because we had limited room to work in and a lot of people helping, so just discussing how to do things was necessary. It wasn't easy though.😬
Bonnie, thank you for being so open in sharing the isses you had in school with your shyness. Your emotion in talking about this brought tears to my eyes. 😢 I know many of your followers empathize with you. That time of life could really be challenging!! Thank you for your work and service to orhers in need!! I love watching you.💖
Never worry about the ones that criticize...you are doing great things...i am new to your chanel and i am binge watching as many as i can ...it motivates me to get my place done
Loved this video. I think Julie is so brave to put her life out there and to face her trauma. Julie if you read this, you are making progress. I am so glad that you are taking control of the trauma. I struggle with depression and grief. On bad days I give myself 5 - 10 minutes to feel my feelings and that is all I give it . It is still deep down inside, but I am able to function better than I could before. Love and hugs.
Wow, Bonnie! You really upped your game with this cleaning! What a tremendous amount of work. 💪The living room looked so much better. And you even did the laundry! 🫶 Your mom has such a young spirit and a loving heart!! 🩵 I hope Julie will feel a sense of relieve after this. 🩵 Love X Coline
Thanks so much, Coline. 💜I think we wore her out this last week, so we may need to take a break this coming week and then get back to it. I certainly wouldn't mind the break either. This has been a big job. But I also don't want to lose momentum, so it's a tough call. I guess we will play it by ear.😊
I know. I'm amazed that she's able to go as long as she does on the days that we are there cleaning. She did overdo it last week and she sent a picture of her very swollen foot that evening. I felt bad. Since then, we are trying to force her to not be moving and all over the place. We try to bring things to her to sort through instead.😊
The vinegar versus black mold was like a miracle! Here in Japan I struggle with black mold everywhere, I will try, instead of the harsh chemicals I usually use. Good job ladies on this amazing cleaning
My Dad is 80 and is in better shape then me. He stays active and walks in the woods everyday. Always on the go he don't wanna stop he is always outside keeps him young.
Love what you do on your videos! Sorry if you have to read bad comments. Really sad that people are criticizing others… You make a huge difference in other women’s life and it’s what is important. Like to pass some time with you ♥️
while I don’t really understand why someone would leave a hateful comment, I am super excited you are there helping her ❤❤❤ kindness is always so motivating
I'm such an introvert that I think I would get so irritated and overwhelmed if people tried to talk to me while I was cleaning. So I think you have an extra superpower to be such a thoughtful, friendly person while still doing such hard work! ❤
There were definitely times that my brain wanted to explode with all that was going on around me. I just would take a break and walk outside for a few minutes to decompress. The first couple days were definitely the hardest because there was a lot of trying to figure out how to best tackle this with limited space to move stuff and so it was pretty chaotic with us all there in the same area. The last couple times I've been there, I have worked in a separate area away from a lot of the chatter so that I could get in my zone and just do my thing.😁👍
Thanks to you she is taking down the physical manifestation of her emotional walls. It's never easy for these folks to do that after multiple traumatic experiences. And the subliminal 9-1-1 call was a perfect description of where Julie was. You and your mom came to her rescue. FYI-I noticed that she shops at Winco. They have barrels for plastic bag returns right at the entrance to the store. At least they do at my store.
How wonderful to help people when they’ve obviously overwhelmed! I also enjoy cleaning & decluttering. I started by just helping people here and there, but am now retired and need some extra income so started by charging $25./hr, not sure if I’m undercharging, though would like to undercut professional services that charge an arm and leg. I work by word of mouth, and am picking up more people plus repeat visits. I still need to declutter my own basement LOL! Blessings to you my friend!
That's awesome. I have only done paid cleaning for friends when I need a little side job, so I only charge $20/hr since they're friends, but I think $25/hr is reasonable. I hope it goes well for you. 🙏
It is very kind of you to help out 'Julie' so she doesnt lose her home. Its a shame some people dont understand this condition and can only be negative.
Amazing work Bonnie and Lisa. And Bonnie's Mom! I watched and loved every minute. 😊 And thank you Bonnie for keeping your comment section abuse-free. I love you and Mack both so much for that. It's so stressful to read hateful comments even when theyre about someone else. And it's even worse when one struggles with some of the same things as the folks in these videos like myself because it becomes difficult not to apply those hate comments to yourself as well. Not to mention the fact that the entire reason for these videos is to help people, build people up, and motivate them, and to have a comment section with hate comments would completely undermine that. Let those poopy heads start their own channel. Just for poopy heads. 😁
It's so weird this comment keeps showing up. I have actually replied to it a couple of times, but UA-cam keep showing it as though I haven't responded. Anyway, just so you don't think I'm ignoring you, I will respond to it a third time. Lol! I agree with you about having a channel just for the poopy heads. In fact, there should be an entire Island where we can send them to just go criticize each other.🤪😁
You are amazing!! It’s unbelievable that people get on here and say unkind things to you!! They need something better to do! You are phenomenal, and so kind!!! You also have a great sense of humor and I love your laugh and giggles!!!! ☺️☺️☺️ Thank you for being a cleaning angel!!!! 😇🩷👏🏻😍🤩💜
It's amazing how other people think they have the right to criticize when they are not out helping others like you are!! You're a saint and don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise!! ❤️❤️
Watching your video was informing and uplifting. I was glad to see your message about about respecting the hoarder no matter what. Often people tend to belittle those who have this issue. Please do have more voice overs explaining what your methods are : example gathering plastic bags in one place in order to recycle later or gathering all tagged clothing to go through later, all other clothing to be washed , boxes ??? I hope you “get my drift”! Looking forward to more shows.
Hey sweet lady! It’s the 71 yr old great granny again. I’ve never seen you do it but I learned to never use window products on glass fireplace fronts ( probably the same for oven doors). They will cause the glass to form an iridescent like film. Kinda like gas on water. No way to reverse it!! Thankful for that advice many years ago!! Also I subbed for the maintenance man at the post office who was taking a vacation. His biggest point he stressed was never to use Comet or Ajax as they are too abrasive and scratch surfaces! Love watching you clean. My back keeps me from activities I see you do!! Love to you and your mom and other helpers!!
Ty for the tip... I have iridescent on my fireplace glass doors forever now! I've finished glass off for years this way. At least I know why now! I will be sure to pass this along to others! Thankyou!
I didn't know that. I'm sure many people have ruined their fireplace fronts by doing that because it is, after all, glass. Who would have thought you can't use glass cleaner on it? I'm trying to remember if I have ever done that. I don't think so as I usually just wipe it real quick with my dusting rag after I have dusted everything else. Thanks for the tip!
One thing you can be sure of is that messy people or hoarders do not want to live like that. It’s just overwhelming and it’s hard to make decisions where everything should go. The clutter is part of their disorganized mind. (. Speaking about myself here. Not really a hoarder but very much a clutter bug. Also many work long hours and are exhausted when they get home.
I think it sounds like squirrels in the background, during the speed up time, so I like it😊 I've discovered Zep products lately, and I really like them, too.. The toilet bowl cleaner is great. Your mom is awesome. I like how you organized the dirty dishes in tubs, to clear off counters, in order to clean everything.. We are all on our own journeys. What we learn along the way Is what matters. We each have our own weaknesses and strengths. Thats why we need never judge. We should Be kind to ourselves. Julie being able to talk to your mom throughout this and your understanding of their plight, will go far into the help that's needed. Both in cleaning and validating her trials..Well done everyone.😍
I absolutely appreciate the work you do. I learn from watching and listening. My brain is a little different and you and Mac have helped me see some important things about myself. I always thought I was a “slob” but I also knew that wasn’t the right word. I’ve never been dirty but messy…. I’ve struggled with clutter my whole life. Child of a hoarder who never really had anyone to teach me…. I tried to do better with my own kids and cleaning and messes and clutter- thanks Marla the Flylady. But I still have a way to go
I loved this video! I totally identified with having no energy, being emotional, & feeling overwhelmed. I have heart failure & feel fatigued all the time. There are times i just don't want to even get out of bed, but i do. I make my bed & get dressed. And some days, that's all i get accomplished. I loved what you said, Cambria, "take it one bite at a time." I feel better hearing it's ok. Thank you for being your real self on here. I feel a little more energized knowing i will just break it all down into smaller portions. YaY! 😇
I went to your channel and sub'd!! I want to watch you draw & stuff!! I love art, painting, collages, coloring, drawing, etc. So your channel looked liked sonething I might like!!👍👍💕
Thank you for everything you do, Bonnie! I follow your channel for a long time and I watched you help so many people (including Mira from Peeling away the clutter - she is amazing!) and I'm amazed by what you do for other people!
Wow this is a huge overwhelming task to take on Bonnie. I admire you greatly for getting stuck in and helping this lady to recover her home whilst also retaining her dignity. She recognizes her problems and is taking the necessary steps to heal. I am glad she is accepting your help and not feeling like her voice is ignored amongst the many others. Maybe that's why she's so chatty with you all, because she feels heard for a change. Well done to you, your mom, your helpers and the lady herself!
I have to say you are SO inspirational. My wife and I watched this latest video and it inspired my wife to clean up our cluttered and dirty kitchen counters. We just love you and your channel! Thank you!
I think you are a wonderful kind person, what you are doing is a gift to those who needs help for many different reasons, I live in UK I wish I could find someone like you over here i need help so if u want to come to UK I would welcome u with open arms, I love your videos ty for sharing with us but mainly ty to the person u are help for sharing ❤ xx
It seems like I need to come to the UK. You're about the 5th person who has said they would gladly welcome me to come help them. Maybe I need to tour the UK and clean some houses there.😄❤️
Bonnie you and your Mom are so kind to help Julie, she will remember you forever! Not many people would do all that you did for her. The world is a better place because of you and what you do.
If your thyroid is not functioning (or low functioning) that alone will be exhausting. People are pretty strong. I did bankruptcies for years. This is an analogy, but people can weather a financial storm fairly well, even two. A strong couple maybe three. But no one alone can handle two big storms, and definitely not three. Its wonderful that the world has people like you and your Mom. I wish your friend smooth sailing! ❤
You bless so many and such a inspiring person. I am so glad you delete negative messages, only positive comments are needed. I truly appreciate your kindness in dealing with your clients.
If you are annoyed by the incessant background chatter in this particular video, just know that it gets better as the series goes on. I tried to pick areas to work on where there wouldn't be so much background chatter as I continued working in this home. Thanks for your patience!
I actually like the chatter. I listen while I clean. Don't apologize for being you. ❤❤
Bonnie's mom here. This has been quite the project. I'm glad I could help my daughter clean.
Me too! Thanks for your help, mama!🥰😘
You are amazing! I miss my mama. So glad B has you!
I can see where Bonnie gets her hard work ethics and determination from. Enjoy seeing you both help eachother and your exchanges together are just wonderful! You are an amazing mom and raised an amazing daughter! Thank you both for helping and helping the viewers too!

Like Bonnie says please be kind in the comments. She really needs the help. She is a sweet and kind person. Send Love and Hugs Not negative comments. 💞😍😘🤗
Mean people can just suck it. ;) You did a great job!
You are a mega cleaning machine 😊 I’d want you to clean my house, trouble is I live in England ! Good job Lisa ❤
Thanks, Lisa! It was fun working with you! You're a powerhouse! We'll do it again soon!!💜❤️🥰
you two have the golden arms

Good Lord Hun. You worked and scrubbed your fingers off. Hoarding disease runs in my family. My Mother was a hoarder and her Mother was too. I have a sister that is buried alive.

I have decided it is up there with schizophrenia as far as one of the worst mental disorders. It really disrupts so many things and, not only is it usually caused by trauma, but it can traumatize all of those involved in the hoarder's life. I totally understand going the exact opposite direction growing up in a house like that and yet I also understand how that just becomes the norm and you just continue living like that. It's such a difficult thing to treat and so sad to watch what it does to the hoarder and their family.😔
I am sorry I hear from you . Why you stop clean up the house no more ? I want you come back clean out hoard . I wish enjoy watch your video every day and night . Noatter what . I want you need be kind clean up the house every day . God bless you . I miss you and watch your video . I am so sad
People really criticize how you clean?!?!! Wow I’m always in awe of what you accomplish.
IKR!!!!?💕🌟💕🌟💕🌟💕🌟
Yup, it's weird. At least for every criticism, there's at least 2 to 300 other people who are very encouraging.😊❤️
Love to watch you & listen to you explain the what, why & how of your process.
In this video I loved that you had help. It's a lot to do for one person.
Your mom is awesome. And, Lisa. It's fantastic that you gave her the chance to help a person also.
I find it weird that they criticize- the whole concept of helping others seems to escape these people
Me, too!
It never ceases to amaze me how a small group of women can come together and help change another woman's life for the better. This is the definition of Girl Power! We all need support and understanding from others and this was so wonderful to see. You rallied around her and lifted her up with your help!
🥰🙏
I’m one of those people who have a “trauma timeline”. Once things reach critical mass your nervous system basically goes into partial collapse. I actually started mysteriously fainting at random times without medical explanation. I almost had to give up driving because I’d be found passed out in car parks. Anyone standing in judgement of people like this lady have probably not walked a mile in her shoes, or they have had sufficient support around them that they were able to cope just enough to get through. I get it. The human body and psyche was never equipped to endure unending high levels of traumatic stress without periods of recovery. I’m doing much better now but my heart goes out to everyone fighting for their survival. Bonnie, you are truly a blessing to humanity.
I agree with your statement about the human body and psyche not being "equipped to endure unending high levels of traumatic stress without periods of recovery." Very well said. I'm so glad you're in a better place and I hope "Julie" can get there. If you are just starting this series of her house, you will see by the last one that things did not end up very well as hard as we tried, but I'm still holding out hope she will get the therapy she needs to truly deal with this disorder.
I so agree with you ❤️🩹
@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp I typed a comment, but wasn't sure if you'd see it. @ 10:45 may I ask where you got that pod/ how I may contact them?
@@JustJ-Me It was through a company called Velox, but I think they may just be Utah-based. I'm sure if you Google "storage pod rentals near me," you could find something similar.
Im surprised how many perfect people there are in the world that they can judge people so harshly. I think its great that people like Bonnie, Mack, and Barbie and all the others have created a community to help people.
😊❤️🙏
Also have a look at another channel in this circle of cleaning angels: Coline Cleans. She is in Holland.🇳🇱

One of the most important concepts you mentioned and demonstrated in this video was the idea of compassionate "companioning." Three generations of women being present to help another woman who is suffering. It used to be common in communities, but not so much these days. I was deeply moved to see it in action again in this video. Thankyou to Bonnie, Mum and Lisa.
Yes, I'm learning that is a big part in helping these individuals. They need to feel listened to and understood before they can really trust you enough to actually help them. I think so often people would come in and just toss everything out because it's not valuable to them, but that just re-traumatizes the person to whom it is valuable to. It's sad that so often their voice has not really been heard.
It's so awesome that she got the help now and not later. Yes it was a really bad situation but from what I've seen so far, you could still save a lot of stuff. Had she waited longer you might have been faced with walls and mountains of her decomposing belongings and much more biohazard
Worth the wait! Bonnie, STOP! being so apologetic about yourself. STOP!!!!! You are a force of nature, as is your Mother. The welcome addition of your helper looks like the beginnings of an army!
Was I? I actually don't remember being that apologetic in this one, but it's very possible. Still getting that confidence. Thank you for your kind words!💕
True. Never complain, never explain.....no need.
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wpyou're doing a million times better with the not apologizing.
your mom raised a winner
seems this poor lady has had very little support, physically or mentally. you are an angel in disguise.
I would have to wear ear plugs to be able to cope with her incessant talking. Just what you've shown makes me feel total panic!! Just the talking, not the stuff. That is amazing that you do her laundry. You never cease to amaze me! As I've gotten older it has been harder to keep the amount of things under control, so I understand with trauma how it can consume. I pray this will make her feel amazing! Great job!!!
Yes, honestly, all the talking was hurting my brain. 😬It has been better the last couple times I've been there as I have been working in the basement and more by myself or with one other person.
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp Would wearing noise canceling headphones (when the noise becomes too much) help? Maybe something you can try 🤷🏼♀️
Whos the other lady?
@@jeanchecefsky3791 that's Bonnies mom☺
I agree. Even with the video being sped up is driving me crazy 😮 God bless you for helping her ❤
I like watching videos like this where people are helping other people clean and declutter their homes. I feel I get inspired to clean and declutter and organize my own home
Thanks, Tracy! I'm glad it inspires you. 😊❤️
I don’t think it matters how you choose to clean as long as the outcome is the same, there may be faster methods or methods that are better for the enviroment but for messes like this… as long as it gets clean and improves the owners quality of life who cares how you get there. Thank you for being so willing to help people clean up their homes, I’m sure it brings them such relief!
HUGS for Julie. Life is hard and sometimes we fall short. I stand all amazed that you were able to ask for help. And thank you to all of your helpers. Have a great weekend. ❤🩹
Absolutely right. We ALL fall short somewhere. That's what our Savior is for. 🥰🙏
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp I most certainly know how hard it is to ask for help. My clothing has been in disorderly heaps for AGES. But tonight we (my hubby and I) grabbed a BIG trash bag and filled in all the clothing that I no longer wear (nor do they fit), but they were too good to trash. So tomorrow my friend gets TWO big bags of clothing to look at. (And I told her another friends name who can take, what she can't use). It feels SO good.
That's so awesome! It DOES feel so good!
I’m glad that you gave her a voice and we got to hear from her.
Slightly triggering to me was hearing “my children should have helped me”. I have cleaned up 1 hoarder relative house (who was moved to a nursing home specializing in dementia) and my family took in my cousin after she left my aunts house due to her moms hoarding. All I can say is that if your adult children don’t visit you, there is a reason for it. I understand my aunt has a mental illness but she was also abusive to me cousin both physically and mentally (invasion of private space). Both can be true at the same time.I’m happy Julie is getting treatment, but the way she talks sends chills down my spine cause she sounds exactly like my aunt. The “I chose to forgive” and a lot of talk about how other people are bad or how she understands that she is “inconveniencing” their lives but it’s “their problem” screams victim complex which a lot of abusers seem to have. I can’t say for sure but it sounded like her child was a victim of self harm and she is trying to make it not her fault.
I’m glad MMC talked on this before about not blaming the kids of hoarders. I know my cousin will NEVER help her mom and I back her fully. She will have the pay the Finacial price of someone doing a professional cleaning and that is fair for slapping my cousin around. I hope she gets treatment and can become a better person. My favorite quote is from Marcus Parks from LPN which is “mental illness is never your fault, but is your responsibility”. Seems like Julie is making good progress and has a long road still in front of her.
You and your mom are amazing and “Julie” is great for asking for help. As Mack says, even if they regress they had a period of living in a clean, orderly space. Such a blessing!
The fact that you are willing to take on such a huge job with so much compassion is inspiring. That kitchen looks fabulous! What a great team effort. :)
Your helper is a very good cleaner. She is a keeper. Great Job ladies!
Agreed!!
I have a friend that has hoarding issues, she allowed to help her once when her older daughter was getting married and she wanted a small Gathering at home. I couldn’t understand her, but I remain quiet and help her. She did had a couple of traumatic events in her life. Thank you for helping me understand her better.
Of course. It is a hard thing to understand and I still don't completely get it, but I'm trying.
I appreciate the way in which you handled this cleaning. Hoarding is a very debilitating mental health condition.
Had to pause this one twice - once to dust my living room furniture and once to clean my entry way floor. Thank you for getting me off my behind! And thank you for what you are doing for others. You make a difference.
That's the best reason to pause a video.😄 I love that it motivated you! I also will put on one of my favorite cleaning channels while I am cleaning to casually watch and listen to because it helps to motivate me. It's kind of like I'm cleaning with a friend.🤗❤️
I carry my phone around with me while dusting room to room while playing cleaning videos and set phone on mantel, hutch ect... great company and motivation and get to watch in between dusting pictures and knick nacks ect., folding laundry, doing dishes, ect. , I end up looking for things to do to finish a video! tks Bonnie! (Mack, Barbie, Mira!) (Coline too!) You each have your gifted Super Powers that motivate us, but you are all incredible making the transformations happen! Gives us all hope looking at our weekly, daily, monthly, yearly messes and awesome cleaning tips too!
It's amazing that there are people who take time out of their life to watch an entire video and then make the effort to craft a snarky, hateful remark. Who has the time for such negativity?! Oh, they didn't actually watch the video? They just scrolled, saw a few seconds with an imperfect situation, made a snap judgment, and then allowed themselves to feel superior by leaving an ignorant uninformed comment. Well, I am not sure who I pity more, the person who hateful or the ignorant. Well, it's not the home owner because she's got Bonbon on her team! Great job Bonster and great job Home owner, so proud of you both.
Yep, you described perfectly the type of scenario that I envision when people leave negative comments. I never feel bad for deleting those remarks because they didn't even take the time to watch the video and I can tell from their comments. So...buh-bye! 😊
It amazes me how you are able to sort out all that chaos. It must feel really liberating and a bit weird for Julie to have so much more space available.
I work as a social worker and I have seen my fair share of flats in more or less catastrophic states, I wish there were more people like you! I know how hard it is. ❤
(And yes, I often helped my clients to start the process of decluttering and cleaning. Especially the younger ones who are often quite clueless about keeping their flats in check or how they can conquer their laundry, dishes and overall stains.)
I loved doing that and I always tried to get my hands on these clients. 🥰
Glad to hear that "Julie" is in therapy. That along with the phenomenal work you all are doing should point to better days ahead!
Great work! The “trolls” will find their way to try to spoil something that is working. Such sadness and ager resides in them. BUT, you rise above them because, they will never understand true goodness.keep on keeping on. I understand completely working quietly. It’s therapeutic and calming. You are wise to accept help in certain situations in order to get the job done. Bless you.
Thank you! I think next time I work there, I'm going to try to pick an area to work on with some earbuds and music on because I definitely have had a lot of anxiety with all of the constant chatter while working there, but I knew it was kind of necessary especially in the beginning to have that much help and that much input from the homeowner, but now that I know a little bit about what our goals are, I feel like I can work a little bit more on my own and get a lot of organizing into categories done.😊
I think you have a super power in real life Bonnie. This is going to make the home owner feel great. When you have a messy or hoarded house it really weighs heavy on your mind and self esteem. You are very inspiring! ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I give you enormous credit for being able to handle the chatter. I would not have been able to do it. Way too much stimulation for me.
You are a blessing
I was actually losing my mind a little bit with all the chatter. I had to make other arrangements the other times that I went over there to make sure that I wasn't surrounded by so much talking. It was kind of necessary those first couple of days just because we had limited room to work in and a lot of people helping, so just discussing how to do things was necessary. It wasn't easy though.😬
Bonnie, thank you for being so open in sharing the isses you had in school with your shyness. Your emotion in talking about this brought tears to my eyes. 😢 I know many of your followers empathize with you. That time of life could really be challenging!! Thank you for your work and service to orhers in need!! I love watching you.💖
Thank you so much!
Sad,lonely,isolated,my heart hurts for these ppl they surround themselves with how they feel inside 😢 I hope she feels better now
Never worry about the ones that criticize...you are doing great things...i am new to your chanel and i am binge watching as many as i can ...it motivates me to get my place done
Oh, thank you so much! I'm glad you're here!
I get irrationally excited when I see these houses.
"Irrationally excited..." 😅 I love it!❤️
Y’all helped this woman out in a huge way. Very admirable 💜
Loved this video. I think Julie is so brave to put her life out there and to face her trauma. Julie if you read this, you are making progress. I am so glad that you are taking control of the trauma. I struggle with depression and grief. On bad days I give myself 5 - 10 minutes to feel my feelings and that is all I give it . It is still deep down inside, but I am able to function better than I could before. Love and hugs.
I really admire you, I would not know where to start ! Thank you for helping Julie.
Wowza!!! Great job everyone !!! 👏🏻 I got exhausted just watching ya’ll !
Amazing work! Love your heart and compassion ❤️
Thank you so much!
I think it’s so important when the homeowner is involved with the cleaning. You all did such a great job!
I think you ladies are really wonderful.❤
thank you for helping those that haven't been able to help themselves but are brave enough to ask for help and start anew. You're truly a blessing.
Thank you so much!
You have a gift that you share free. What a joy you are to others 😊
Wow, thank you
Wow, 72 years old. Impressive energy. Way to go.
God Bless you guys for helping without judgement.
Wtg Mom! She was a great help! I miss my Mom everyday.
Wow, Bonnie! You really upped your game with this cleaning! What a tremendous amount of work. 💪The living room looked so much better. And you even did the laundry! 🫶
Your mom has such a young spirit and a loving heart!! 🩵 I hope Julie will feel a sense of relieve after this. 🩵 Love X Coline
Thanks so much, Coline. 💜I think we wore her out this last week, so we may need to take a break this coming week and then get back to it. I certainly wouldn't mind the break either. This has been a big job. But I also don't want to lose momentum, so it's a tough call. I guess we will play it by ear.😊
It must be so hard for people to reach out for help but wow would it be life changing for them to have a fresh start! Fantastic job as always!
So much hard work! So many details! Wow!!! What an amazing group of women you are 😢
What a transformation. Amazing job, can't wait for the next installment. TFS xxx
😊❤️🙏
It is wonderful that the lady you are helping is feeling well enough to help, you and your mom are the dynamic duo! Great job
I know. I'm amazed that she's able to go as long as she does on the days that we are there cleaning. She did overdo it last week and she sent a picture of her very swollen foot that evening. I felt bad. Since then, we are trying to force her to not be moving and all over the place. We try to bring things to her to sort through instead.😊
The seemingly subliminal “call 911” made me giggle. Wonderful job as always!!
Right?!😄
I send hugs to Julie. I've been there. Its hard, but she'll get there.
You are truly doing God's work Bonnie, and of course your mom and your helpers too 🤗
You two are So Wonderful to Help this dear lady out. God Bless You. 😊
Thank you so much!
Julie is a very brave lady facing a very difficult task. ❤
LOVE ALL YOU LADIES !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH 🥰💖🙏🌹🌹♥️♥️♥️
The vinegar versus black mold was like a miracle! Here in Japan I struggle with black mold everywhere, I will try, instead of the harsh chemicals I usually use. Good job ladies on this amazing cleaning
Yes, I only recently found out that vinegar and even hydrogen peroxide are some of the best things to kill black mold.
My Dad is 80 and is in better shape then me. He stays active and walks in the woods everyday. Always on the go he don't wanna stop he is always outside keeps him young.
When my dad was 80 he was on my roof cleaning my gutters. Amazing what they do right? 😊
That's amazing! I do think being outdoors is just good for your soul as well. ❤️
I love how you spray the dishes and soak them in the huge totes.
Love what you do on your videos! Sorry if you have to read bad comments. Really sad that people are criticizing others… You make a huge difference in other women’s life and it’s what is important. Like to pass some time with you ♥️
Thank you, Caroline! 🙏💜
Thank you Bonnie for your big ass heart! 💛💛💛
Thank you! Love your pic with your Great Dane!
while I don’t really understand why someone would leave a hateful comment, I am super excited you are there helping her ❤❤❤ kindness is always so motivating
Thank you, Lisa.😊❤️
I'm such an introvert that I think I would get so irritated and overwhelmed if people tried to talk to me while I was cleaning. So I think you have an extra superpower to be such a thoughtful, friendly person while still doing such hard work! ❤
There were definitely times that my brain wanted to explode with all that was going on around me. I just would take a break and walk outside for a few minutes to decompress. The first couple days were definitely the hardest because there was a lot of trying to figure out how to best tackle this with limited space to move stuff and so it was pretty chaotic with us all there in the same area. The last couple times I've been there, I have worked in a separate area away from a lot of the chatter so that I could get in my zone and just do my thing.😁👍
Thanks to you she is taking down the physical manifestation of her emotional walls. It's never easy for these folks to do that after multiple traumatic experiences. And the subliminal 9-1-1 call was a perfect description of where Julie was. You and your mom came to her rescue.
FYI-I noticed that she shops at Winco. They have barrels for plastic bag returns right at the entrance to the store. At least they do at my store.
How wonderful to help people when they’ve obviously overwhelmed! I also enjoy cleaning & decluttering. I started by just helping people here and there, but am now retired and need some extra income so started by charging $25./hr, not sure if I’m undercharging, though would like to undercut professional services that charge an arm and leg. I work by word of mouth, and am picking up more people plus repeat visits.
I still need to declutter my own basement LOL! Blessings to you my friend!
That's awesome. I have only done paid cleaning for friends when I need a little side job, so I only charge $20/hr since they're friends, but I think $25/hr is reasonable. I hope it goes well for you. 🙏
Your mom is so cute!!!
So awesome. That oven now needs shades to look at now. So shiny!!❤
😄
You are so kind to help people get back on track, organized and in comfortable home. Your mother is also amazing to help you with this.
It is very kind of you to help out 'Julie' so she doesnt lose her home. Its a shame some people dont understand this condition and can only be negative.
Amazing work Bonnie and Lisa. And Bonnie's Mom! I watched and loved every minute. 😊
And thank you Bonnie for keeping your comment section abuse-free. I love you and Mack both so much for that.
It's so stressful to read hateful comments even when theyre about someone else.
And it's even worse when one struggles with some of the same things as the folks in these videos like myself because it becomes difficult not to apply those hate comments to yourself as well.
Not to mention the fact that the entire reason for these videos is to help people, build people up, and motivate them, and to have a comment section with hate comments would completely undermine that.
Let those poopy heads start their own channel. Just for poopy heads. 😁
It's so weird this comment keeps showing up. I have actually replied to it a couple of times, but UA-cam keep showing it as though I haven't responded. Anyway, just so you don't think I'm ignoring you, I will respond to it a third time. Lol! I agree with you about having a channel just for the poopy heads. In fact, there should be an entire Island where we can send them to just go criticize each other.🤪😁
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp genius!! 🤣
You are amazing!! It’s unbelievable that people get on here and say unkind things to you!! They need something better to do! You are phenomenal, and so kind!!! You also have a great sense of humor and I love your laugh and giggles!!!! ☺️☺️☺️ Thank you for being a cleaning angel!!!! 😇🩷👏🏻😍🤩💜
Thank you so much!!😁❤️🙏
It's amazing how other people think they have the right to criticize when they are not out helping others like you are!! You're a saint and don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise!! ❤️❤️
That kitchen looks brand new. You all did a fantastic job well done and keep up the good work.
Watching your video was informing and uplifting. I was glad to see your message about about respecting the hoarder no matter what. Often people tend to belittle those who have this issue. Please do have more voice overs explaining what your methods are : example gathering plastic bags in one place in order to recycle later or gathering all tagged clothing to go through later, all other clothing to be washed , boxes ??? I hope you “get my drift”! Looking forward to more shows.
Thank you all for helping this homeowner.❤
I hope this person gets through it well because I know what mental illness is, my mom had it and I have it. Prayers for recovery ❤
That was a cute jacket of her mom's. I'm glad she kept that.
Hey sweet lady! It’s the 71 yr old great granny again. I’ve never seen you do it but I learned to never use window products on glass fireplace fronts ( probably the same for oven doors). They will cause the glass to form an iridescent like film. Kinda like gas on water. No way to reverse it!! Thankful for that advice many years ago!! Also I subbed for the maintenance man at the post office who was taking a vacation. His biggest point he stressed was never to use Comet or Ajax as they are too abrasive and scratch surfaces! Love watching you clean. My back keeps me from activities I see you do!! Love to you and your mom and other helpers!!
Ty for the tip... I have iridescent on my fireplace glass doors forever now! I've finished glass off for years this way. At least I know why now! I will be sure to pass this along to others! Thankyou!
I didn't know that. I'm sure many people have ruined their fireplace fronts by doing that because it is, after all, glass. Who would have thought you can't use glass cleaner on it? I'm trying to remember if I have ever done that. I don't think so as I usually just wipe it real quick with my dusting rag after I have dusted everything else. Thanks for the tip!
Amazing job! As you said, it is difficult to understand hoarders, as it is a mental disorder, but it is great they can have your help!
One thing you can be sure of is that messy people or hoarders do not want to live like that. It’s just overwhelming and it’s hard to make decisions where everything should go. The clutter is part of their disorganized mind. (. Speaking about myself here. Not really a hoarder but very much a clutter bug. Also many work long hours and are exhausted when they get home.
The thing I love about Dawn Power Wash is that a) it doesn't damage wood as it cleans and b) everything smells so good after you use it!
You are really a beautiful person. And a blessing for us people who need your help. God bless you.
I think it sounds like squirrels in the background, during the speed up time, so I like it😊 I've discovered Zep products lately, and I really like them, too.. The toilet bowl cleaner is great.
Your mom is awesome.
I like how you organized the dirty dishes in tubs, to clear off counters, in order to clean everything..
We are all on our own journeys. What we learn along the way Is what matters. We each have our own weaknesses and strengths. Thats why we need never judge. We should Be kind to ourselves. Julie being able to talk to your mom throughout this and your understanding of their plight, will go far into the help that's needed. Both in cleaning and validating her trials..Well done everyone.😍
Thank you for your very sweet comments!🥰
I absolutely appreciate the work you do. I learn from watching and listening. My brain is a little different and you and Mac have helped me see some important things about myself. I always thought I was a “slob” but I also knew that wasn’t the right word. I’ve never been dirty but messy…. I’ve struggled with clutter my whole life. Child of a hoarder who never really had anyone to teach me…. I tried to do better with my own kids and cleaning and messes and clutter- thanks Marla the Flylady. But I still have a way to go
Thanks for sharing!😊
Hi I'm new to your channel, Thoroughly enjoyed the process, Julie is a lucky lady to have such wonderful help.
Thank you so much.😊
I loved this video! I totally identified with having no energy, being emotional, & feeling overwhelmed. I have heart failure & feel fatigued all the time. There are times i just don't want to even get out of bed, but i do. I make my bed & get dressed. And some days, that's all i get accomplished. I loved what you said, Cambria, "take it one bite at a time." I feel better hearing it's ok. Thank you for being your real self on here. I feel a little more energized knowing i will just break it all down into smaller portions. YaY! 😇
I use to clean, 9 years as a career, I love what you do. Keep up the great help and enjoy each day! :)
I went to your channel and sub'd!! I want to watch you draw & stuff!! I love art, painting, collages, coloring, drawing, etc. So your channel looked liked sonething I might like!!👍👍💕
Thank you!
Thank you for everything you do, Bonnie! I follow your channel for a long time and I watched you help so many people (including Mira from Peeling away the clutter - she is amazing!) and I'm amazed by what you do for other people!
I like watching Mira too
I appreciate it!🥰
Great job ladies! You're all amazing!
Thank you so much!!
You were so patient. That looks like a very long but rewarding process.
Wow this is a huge overwhelming task to take on Bonnie. I admire you greatly for getting stuck in and helping this lady to recover her home whilst also retaining her dignity. She recognizes her problems and is taking the necessary steps to heal. I am glad she is accepting your help and not feeling like her voice is ignored amongst the many others. Maybe that's why she's so chatty with you all, because she feels heard for a change. Well done to you, your mom, your helpers and the lady herself!
Thank you so much!
I have to say you are SO inspirational. My wife and I watched this latest video and it inspired my wife to clean up our cluttered and dirty kitchen counters. We just love you and your channel! Thank you!
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Loved seeing your mom working alongside you. She's awesome!! And so great of Lisa to help out.
I think you are a wonderful kind person, what you are doing is a gift to those who needs help for many different reasons, I live in UK I wish I could find someone like you over here i need help so if u want to come to UK I would welcome u with open arms, I love your videos ty for sharing with us but mainly ty to the person u are help for sharing ❤ xx
It seems like I need to come to the UK. You're about the 5th person who has said they would gladly welcome me to come help them. Maybe I need to tour the UK and clean some houses there.😄❤️
Bonnie you and your Mom are so kind to help Julie, she will remember you forever! Not many people would do all that you did for her.
The world is a better place because of you and what you do.
How wonderful to have your mom help.
If your thyroid is not functioning (or low functioning) that alone will be exhausting. People are pretty strong. I did bankruptcies for years. This is an analogy, but people can weather a financial storm fairly well, even two. A strong couple maybe three. But no one alone can handle two big storms, and definitely not three. Its wonderful that the world has people like you and your Mom. I wish your friend smooth sailing! ❤
Great analogy!
Bonnie, your Mom, and helper did an awesome job. I'm sure Julie appreciated all your help. It looked great.
Thanks so much
A big 🫂 for Julie ,her daughter and for you and your mother ❤
BONNIE YOU & YOUR MOTHER ARE LOTS OF HELP & LISA. GOD BLESS YOU ALL .❤
Amazing clean for this lady!
Your Mom is a treasure ❤️
Thank you so much!
You bless so many and such a inspiring person. I am so glad you delete negative messages, only positive comments are needed. I truly appreciate your kindness in dealing with your clients.
