I don't use bleach either cause it causes me breathing problems. Your videos have inspired me to just clean a small area at a time so I don't get overwhelmed. Today I got motivated to wipe my whole fridge out and clean off my stove. I struggle with depression and sometimes I lack energy to clean a lot. I praise myself for whatever I can get done each day.
Yes! Great job! Even if you just do one shelf, you’re making progress. Everything doesn’t have to be perfect. Sometimes perfectionism can shut me down. So I aim for 80% instead of 100% & that helps.
I love the respect shown to the client. No judgement, in fact you defend and understand. I work in mental health, and that is what is needed. You literally are what the doctor prescribes. ❤
Yes i agree,i just stumbled upon this channel ,i love it ,his voice so calming and relaxing i watch these videos while working at home cooking etc it motivates me alot. Keep up the great work mate ,ur saving lives🙏❤️❤️❤️
I am not a very religious person, but I believe you are truly doing the "lords work." 🙂Thank you for donating your time & energy to helping people have a safer, healthier living environment! 🥰
Its refreshing seeing men clean, especially deep cleaning and regular cleaning, not the typical carpet cleaning and auto detailing that men tend to stick to. Help around the house is lovely.
@@annamaesawyer7482 I like it when my husband helps me deep clean inside the house and not just outside. Actually, when we deep clean, it's a family affair, we all do it. My kids have been doing it since they were little, except when they were toddlers, but they first started by me going with them through their toys and asking them to be honest and get rid of their toys if they no longer played with them and they were not really special to them. Yes, my kids had that one or two special toy, anyhow, if they were broken beyond repair, they would be thrown and if not, we would take them to an orphanage and honestly that helped a lot because they got to see how lucky they are to have what they have. As a matter of fact my daughter told me once, that she might have a few more dolls to give away to those little girls who didn't have anything. Anyhow, sorry for the long comment but yes, it's always nice to see men and women to do jobs that are only "considered" for the opposite gender.
@@ch1ckmom217 I did the same thing and all their old toys, clothes and shoes went to the health dept clothes closet, a free resource for really poor people.
@@susansmith493Oh, gosh, don’t you have enough to do already ? Auto detailing requires more stamina & muscles that I have - but if that’s your desire, go for it !
Last week we had our 3 monthly inspection (standard practice for the rental market here in Australia) and whilst I was cleaning the grout in the shower, my sister comes in and asks me why I'm telling the shower that I'm going to spin kick the sh!t outta of it. She thought I was going mad! 😂😂😂 But honestly, quoting you makes cleaning more fun 😊🤘 I hate it when I can't find my coconut slapper, I hurt my hands slapping coconuts without my slapper 😢😅
I just rock a funky soundtrack for the 3 months house inspections.., I can tell you I was a idiot doing the entire clean for the privilege and luxury of doing my own inspection for three years… my first real live human being turned up three weeks ago… if there’s a dishwasher around I put everything that has dust on it in the machine.. if it can’t survive the dishwasher it doesn’t deserve to live in my house
I have ADHD and cleaning and keeping stuff tidy is one of these things I'm the worst at. And these kinds of videos helps so much to keep me motivated to tackle stuff. My worst enemy is being overwhelmed and having problem knowing what to do in what order. Appreciate the channel a lot! (just stumbled upon it recently.)
I also have ADHD. But if I let the mess overwhelm me I get depressed. And we can't afford to get depressed. It's the devil. Simply ask God for help and the rest falls into place. 😊
There is an excellent UA-cam channel called "Clutterbug" -She also has ADHD. Has a lot of great advice on how to organize and not be overwhelmed by it all.
Yknow I like music in the background, but I actually prefer videos without because a) i can choose my own and b) makes it better for people who doesnt like it 😊
YES! I rarely like the music the UA-camr selects and find it to be annoying and distracting. I would prefer silence over canned music. So, I very much appreciate this video and will go subscribe now 🙂
I am truly addicted to your videos, I laugh at your talk of Jason, he is such a sweet soul! But dude, you are freaking funny. Then I realize you honestly care for the people you help and actually love your kids. It is a refreshing realization to know you and your kids are doing ALL the work. Thank you for the time spent with you and your calming voice, I love it. God bless you for you and your childrens help to those that actually need it!!
So I just discovered this channel about 6 hours ago and am now learning NOT to drink anything because you never know when you're going to literally LAUGH OUT LOUD...thus shooting coffee/iced tea/water out of every face hole you have! I don't know what I love more, the cleaning or the laughing I do!
I'm also a house cleaner. God bless our work.. sometimes we are not so valued but our manual work demands a lot of our time, dedication and a lot of love.. I know that all work is hard work but our house cleaning demands a little more of us. and there are people who don't value our work. Your work is beautiful, congratulations for being so whimsical, you will go far. God blesses ❤
I am disabled and rely on good folks like yourself and fabulous Jason to do what I no longer can. I thank my cleaning crew every time they visit my home and let them know how much I appreciate their work.
I am as well a compulsive shopper and I am so happy about the amount of respect you showed towards her. Hoarding things is very hard especially when you come from a poor background and afraid to be hungry or without. You did a great job organizing and cleaning. Love watching
My previous landlord said some of his tenants would pay rent in advance with any extra money they had, that way it was going towards a necessity and they didn’t give themselves a chance to spend it on frivolous stuff. I thought that was a brilliant idea for those that struggle with compulsive shopping.
I have issues with the same things, I think there is a certain level of Psychological trauma associated with growing up poor, and the way that is perceived by others and used as a tool to demean people. I have the same fears you do. I think a lot of people do, through no fault of their own. Isn’t it great to find somebody who truly understands and actually helps? I have reached Appoint watching his videos, where I have realized, I really don’t need all the stuff I have, and I have started to let go of things, it actually feels very wonderful. Good luck with it. It’s nice to know we’re not alone.
@@pravachan4355 I use it when I cook, not a lot, but it adds a nice flavor-and if you buy local honey, it actually helps you fight allergies. It really is a good food, in spite of the sugar.♥️✌️
I know right.. and she might have all the food on the counters because she couldn't reach it in the cupboards. but she can always have 1 box out... and what was that 6 bottles of honey?? and 2 kerig coffee pots and what 100 kerig coffee pods..??.. I can't imagine spending 10 hours cleaning.... ---- I spent an hour washing my dad's dishes and I told him I am getting rid of all the dishes, cups and silverware... except for 4 of each and he can rinse them out and reuse... because he won't soak the dishes.
Since watching your show I have cleaned and organized the closet in my bedroom, my dresser drawers, my front bathroom and will begin working on the master bathroom cabinets. I already scoured the shower area (there is soooo much more work to do). You inspired me to look closely at what I’m buying and asking myself if I need or just want it because it’s cute, a good deal and etc.
Lee willers I think once we take the time to take a good look at our lives realize what we are doing with our lives if we are please with what we are doing or just going from day to day taking it for granted, we can always make changes a wee bit at a time. The next thing we know we will see a big improvement, feel proud of what we have accomplished. We are given life to live it, enjoy, we are the only ones who can make changes if we are not enjoying our lives. We won't be enjoying life if we are not living it, that in it self can be depressing. It pays us to keep the environment around us clean clutter free. May I suggest when you are cleaning to down size while you are doing it, it makes it easier to get rid of what you don't need or. Want, makes your life easier. I always give my things to a charity called open arms, it helps with a variety of causes. I think sometimes when we shop to fill a void in our lives, it doesn't work, it is just a short time fix. I would rather. take the money go out for a meal with a friend, or a movie, spend some good quality time together. Watching these shows being able to see someone else clean is a real treat, joy for me. I went in other peoples home cleaned on a weekly basis. I would also do extra house. cleaning in the fall. Good luck on your cleaning, you are doing a great job with what you have done. I am proud of you !!!
Hey guys, What a great video! I just found you and subscribed. I'm 75 and temporarily handicapped and using a walker. You have given me some great cleaning tips so Thank You for that. You do amazing cleaning/organizing. After spending a year in hospital, I came home to 'the house of horrors'! My daughter took care of my 2 cats, kept the floors mopped and took out the garbage. But that's about all she had time for. Being on a pension, I couldn't budget for a housekeeper. Prior to my emergency (3 perforated ulcers) surgery March/22, I was healing from a broken leg in Feb/22 and a bad concussion in Jan/22. At only 78 lbs and using a walker and an IV pole, I looked like an x-ray. And I knew I'd have to clean my cluttered, dusty, some laundry and somewhat dirty apt all by myself. Not one soul to help me clean and put things in order. All of my beautiful plants were dead, and everything was misplaced. My vacuum attachments were been thrown out and my new WHITE furniture was black with thick cat hair and mud (2 cats). I was mortified! I didn't know where to begin! I just knew it would take at least 4 months for me to clean, reorganize the entire apt. as I was so slow and tired easily. I also have scoliosis and can't use a ladder because my scoliosis makes me unbalanced. However I worked away a bit at a time and things are starting to get cleaner and in order. Its been 3 months now and I still have a lot to do. I'm thankful to have survived and getting better! YOUR VIDEOS ARE AWESOME AND THEY ARE EXTREMELY HELPFUL TO ME!! This past year has been a nightmare! So I've subscribed as I know you and your videos will help me get things done. I cannot thank you enough! Cheers! ❤❤ 🇨🇦-Judy Butler
Where are you located Judy? I saw the Canadian flag and assumed Canada of course. If you just got home from hospital there should be some sort of home care available for you. Additionally I know of a company/person who does free cleaning depending on what city you live in. She goes by Nottheworstcleaner. Hope you are able to get some help. Cheers
Hello Janice, I have a daughter by the same name. 😊 Thank you for your kind and thoughtful message. I live in Brantford Ontario. (Southwestern Ontario). Yes, I had Personal Support Workers when at home. They were to bathe me, sweep kitchen floor, wash dishes, make my bed and take out my garbage. They were a great help. But there was a years worth of dust on everything. Some of my furniture had to be moved around to make room for a hospital bed, IV pole and many boxes of medical dressings, cases of liquid food which went through a tube in my abdomen as I was not allowed any food by mouth for quite s long time. Dead plants everywhere. They would also fold and put away clean laundry. But it's taken months for me to find things: clothes mixed in with towels and sheets and everything stuffed all over the linen closet. Thick, sticky dust on my ceiling fans as well as the range hood over the stove. Utensils were scattered in various drawers. I still haven't found the accessory attachments for my 2 cordless vacs which had been stored in bags and hung up on my furnace room wall. They must have been accidently thrown out with the garbage. The bathroom was cluttered with shampoo and lotion bottles here and there. I weighed only 78 lbs, lost muscle mass so was too weak to do much more than one thing a day. But, now I'm eating like a horse with real food again. Gaining back weight and walking unassisted without my walker. I lost my driver's license too so I gave my brand new SUV to my daughter. She takes me out when I need to go anywhere. But I take my walker for safety. And now, I've gotten a lot done but still have quite a few things (like the fans) that I can't do. But things are getting better. I now can take my garbage out to the dumpster, I cook and bake (banana muffins today). And I have a little apt washer and dryer, so I do all my own laundry! I grew some petunias and cherry tomatoes from seed for my balcony! My granddaughter is coming down from Barrie this weekend to finish doing things here for me. She also is a PSW. And I'm a retired PSW. My daughter, Janice is my 'rock'. This has been VERY hard on her too! But, it's all good. We're making slow but steady progress. I'm lucky to have survived. So, everyday is a Miracle! Sorry for such a long message. I never get any visitors and sometimes I'm lonely. And I can talk your face off! 🤣 Take care and be well, Janice. You seem like a lovely person. Cheers! 💞💖 Judy
Doesn’t make sense. If your daughter was taking out the trash, how’d you end up with more it seems. If she cleaned the floor, she neglected everything else? The house of horrors is caused by whom? Her? Since she had access to it.
@@judybutler5129Hi Judy, it's been 3 months since that update, and I hope you are still on the up, and that you have got your lovely home shipshape again. Maybe somebody has been able to clean those fans? 😊 Wishing you all the best, and a better 2024 xxx
Nope! I can’t imagine having that much stuff! You just amaze me by how you motor through. I’d be in a corner completely riddled with anxiety. Kudos to you and your son. You obviously know how to roll!
You guys are amazing! Even Jason 😉 This woman must feel like the weight of the world was off her shoulders when she saw this kitchen after you guys did such an amazing job! I’m so glad that she has scheduled you guys to come back on a regular basis! Once she gets used to how good you are she might just want you to move in. thanks, as always, for being so smart and funny and compassionate and sharing so many good tips. You really are magic! 💕
What a gargantuan undertaking! Overwhelming does not come even close to describe her kitchen. Your help organizing, sorting, and cleaning was so impressive. Now she can see everything, and not feel so incredibly crowded. So proud of your good, hard work. Unbelievable job. Patti
I just got an over night job cleaning at a college, your random cleaning tips like how to clean the streaks off of windows/mirrors with a dry cloth has saved me so much trial and error. Plus when im working i can have videos on with my head phones and clean together, its been awesome!
You have a herculean amount of patience, being trapped in a kitchen for 20 hours with an absolutely detestable scumbag and NOT punching him square in the nose at any moment. Bravo, sir.
Never ceases to amaze me how ‘quick’ it can be to clean up. It is hard to get started sometimes but really when you consider how long it takes for things to get to that point, relatively speaking clean up can happen in under 24 hours if you really want it to.
I really do love your understanding and compassion for the people you help. If you keep like things together in your cabinets, you can see what you have and so I don't overspend. I turfed out my medicine cabinet last weekend. Oh my goodness, I had teething gel in there. My kids are 22 and 19!! Give my love to Filth xx
This kitchen looks like my grandma's kitchen before she passed away. She used to spend too much on food, got too sick to do the upkeep. She kept buying for a huge family but it was only her at that point. We tried to come in and clean when we could, but lived 12 hours from her. This must have been a very hard job because you have to keep stopping checking food. I'm sure this lady was very relieved ❤
New subscriber here. I've always had a hard time keeping up with cleaning my space (my room as a teenager, my apartment as an adult). After watching this video, I found the courage to get started. I did one surface completely, like you said, and the feelings of accomplishment and satisfaction were definitely there after. I kept going after that and I've already done more in half a day than I've done all year thanks to that method! So thanks!
“Wait a minute, where’s my coconut slapper? I really needed my coconut slapped and you guys got rid of it!” 😂 I’m convinced there’s no better cleaning commentary anywhere than here.
Focusing on 1 area at a time helps me not to feel overwhelmed. I keep things neat and picked up. We had company that left after staying with us almost a week. I felt overwhelmed when cleaning. I told myself, 1 area at a time. It really helped me not to feel overwhelmed and i got it done. ❤
As someone who had a cleaning business for over 20 years. I often dislike cleaning videos because I get really frustrated watching them. You guys are great...I would have been really happy to have employed you!!
I understand this mess! I lost my dad and my father in law back to back. 2 house holds of stuff came to our house! Our 6 per house plus sooooo much more it has been a 6 year nightmare because of work and busy kids. But we have purged and purged and purged over the years, we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I feel you- FIL died and MIL sold house stuff comes to my garage. Mom dies and Dad sells house stuff comes to my garage Ex moves to Australia and stuff for kids comes to my garage Son moves to TX stuff moves to my garage Other Som marries and moves to Denver and stuff including wedding gifts move to my garage. 🙄
@@lindab.716 Mannnn, I know how that is! We just cleaned out our garage and I can finally park my car in it again after 2 years. There is still a LOT of stuff in there, on entire wall is tool boxes all filled with tools. We have not had time to go through all the tools and purge what we don't need yet. My husband does use his tools though so there will always be a lot of tools. We live on a farm, he does all the repairs from cars, mowers, tractor, plumbing. Yard work we do all our own house work too. Just a lot of stuff 🥴 plus kids.
@@CainXVII it was a 2 car garage and the car couldn’t fit. I’ve sense moved and had to take measures to distribute my kids stuff to them. All have moved out to their own places.
One thing I did learn was that you should pull the covers down and pillows off and let the bed air for a bit. We create a warm damp environment in it-and dust mites love that! So if it cools off a bit and dries-not as many of them. I can’t always do this, but do when I have time
My home is slightly cluttered, but not anywhere near to what is seen in your videos. You have inspired me to declutter and organize better! Thanks for your videos and for the help you provide to others. God Bless You!
Bro, this was somehow motivating, heartwarming, AND funny all at once. Love the judgement-free compassion and the humor. And the use of “wolf” as a verb. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber!
I love the way you explain the purpose to the cleaning. One area at a time. I need to tackle my kitchen again, so I will be cleaning off a table and use it for staging. Jason did an awesome job. He has a great teacher in you. Have a fantastic weekend!
Yes! I think it is so helpful that he explains how to clean and also the why behind the actions! We see people clean on videos but very few go through the details and why it is good mentally.
Wow I’m too exhausted after watching this to spin kick my own house. Seven in the morning on a Saturday and now I need a nap after watching this. She must have felt such a weight lifted, well needed after being with her friend in hospice. I pray her heart heals.❤
Oh, and thank you for explaining the dust situation. I used to live out in the country with my ex husband. He always blamed me for the dust, saying I was wasn’t cleaning well.
I say I inherited the hoarding gene and really have to fight with it! My collection of cat figurines occupies ONE shelf, and that's it. I'm constantly fighting the urge to buy more computer stuff because you really need that. LOL.
My sister is hoarder as well and now her adult daughter is. I left home at 17 but also spent about 6 months of every year with my grandmother until she became ill when I was 13 and I had to live permanently with my mother and her boyfriend who she met when I was 10. My half siblings did not have the great family that I visited while living with my grandmother. There was excess alcohol use in the home and then poverty when the boyfriend left . My mother had children 11, 10 and 8 and had to move to low income housing. My sister worked in restaurants and was used to making lg quantities of food which she continued to do at her own home. She bought excessive clothing for the daughter and fed her excessively. Her kitchen cupboards, closets, counters were packed with stuff. I would visit in the summer and clean. I thought that it was out of control as she was usually working two jobs. Then, I realized that they were more annoyed with me helping so I just visited. Now her husband has died and she struggles as they wasted so much money on any kitchen gadget that you could imagine and excessive buying. Now she is doing the same thing to my mother's apartment buying excessive food and incontinence products and charging my mother. My brother lives with my mother and will not put his foot down with the sister. The sister and I no longer talk as she and her daughter conived to claim my mother falsely as a dependent on income tax. My mother is 89 and was always challenging. Unfortunately, hoarding is linked to mental health and any suggestions to my sister in the past were dismissed. She has created another generation of this as she did not seek any counseling. If you identify yourself from this excellent video seek some professional guidance to better your life. Having clutter like this actually adds to your stress level. I am a nurse and fortunately I had a hospital employer that had free counseling as a benefit and it helped me a lot to deal with my childhood trauma. I do not live in the same city as my Mom and sister and have advised my brother but only he can decide how to deal with his mentally unhealthy sister.
Understanding where the hoarding comes from, e.g. trauma or even ADHD or similar, can make a huge difference. Once you can identify the patterns and resons you can tackle it. ❤
You and your son were a godsend for this woman! Impulse buying and hoarding can end up becoming overwhelming to the individual! I'm impressed and I'm sure she is grateful!Looks great guys👍🏻
Great start to the kitchen. I have 2 cleaning methods (don’t judge). 1) clear a space to set up a work space. 2). Empty every stinking cabinet starting with top cabinets even the useless ones above fridge. 3) wipe out cabinets 4) sort the items and restock each cabinet. Or the other method is to do one cabinet at a time and rearrange the items per cabinet. I really do first one because it forces me to complete the task and I have every item grouped together within its family. I also check expiration dates on items. ❤❤❤❤
This makes sense. You would determine which method to use based on how much time you have and how messy the space is. If the space is very messy and you have time, use method 1. If the space isn't very messy and/or you don't have a lot of time per cleaning session, you would use method 2.
I had the motivation and follow through to clean a single fridge drawer yesterday. It wasn't much, but it was more than I've had in years. These videos helped.
I’m actually thinking 💭 as soon as I’m good I’m definitely going to first get my own house in order and then volunteer my services once a week, it’s great to see what a difference your making to people’s lives by simply clearing up their problems and yes it’s definitely a problem, wether it be ill health, depression, exhaustion or a crisis that’s put everything else on hold , God Bless your a fine fellow and so are your mates ! 🙏🏻❤️
Love these cleaning videos! I cleaned houses for close to twenty years and I have to say I was very good at what I did. I am retired now but I love cleaning and watching your videos. I have learned a few tips from you, so I am giving you a few tips. When cleaning the Sink with bar keepers friend put a drop of dish soap in the sink with BKF and scrub and then rinse and the white residue will wash down the drain. Tell your son when loading the dishwasher always hand wash the big pots and pans that way he willl have more room for all the little dishes and less hand washing. Hugs and Blessings!
Amazing job guys!!!!! Your client must feel like the worlds been lifted off her shoulders. Excellent job, having you guys going in to help her on regular basis is going to be a lifesaver!!!!
I watch your cleaning videos to relax after feeling exhausted from cleaning! How ironic is that!!!?? Somehow it's so relaxing to watch. I love your voice!! ♥️
Yay another video! She should sing the song from frozen when she cleans...let it go let it go. I noticed in one of your home videos that you were using a Swiffer wet jet so I bought one earlier this week and I love it. So fast and easy. We need more filth like Jason in the world. ❤️ You guys.
That was a mahoosive task that you've tackled brilliantly! Seriosuly, I love the transformation of that kitchen! 😮 Plus, you had the added task of having to put up with extra filth that is Jason, for which you deserve ALL the followers out there.
Thank you for doing this!! It’s is so refreshing to see that there is still good in this world. Hoarding is tradition in my family. It seems to have skipped me. So I help them sort and clean during summer break from school. Your videos have given us a better plan and motivation!! Thank you!!!
This is very similar to my kitchen - I have the same cabinets (even the same ‘decorative’ rail above the cabinets.) Mine isn’t quite that well-stocked…but it’s bad enough, and has gotten worse over the past 3 years due to long work hours. Thank you for helping this family. Thank you for giving me the motivation to start decluttering today. When you live with something day to day - it gets more difficult to actually ‘see’ how much is there.
I honestly think it’s very cool of you to be so respectful of people’s privacy that you won’t read any prescription labels. Especially when it comes to health stuff, people can be very self conscious about issues they have so I think it’s great that you go out of your way to respect their privacy in that way.
Werewolf? Dracula? Many of the things you say, have me laughing!! Thank you. We all need humor in our lives. We used to save the medicine bottles, and last year tossed them. They can be a great item to put sharps in to throw away, such as needles and razors, etc. Your YT channel is very enjoyable. We are dealing with excess after a death in the family, and although we got rid of a lot of stuff, we are finding ourselves a little overwhelmed. I appreciate how empathetic you are towards the individuals who end up in these type situations. Not all situations are so overwhelming, but life happens to each of us. Keep up the great footage and encouragement you share with all.
Not only do you do a really good job, but you are a really honest person, who does not judge these "mess hats" who need your help. Thanks to both father and son 🙂(Your humor is spot on! 😁)
Yes! I love that you left the sounds in the video ❤ I personally find it much more enjoyable to watch when there is no music, just the sound of cleaning 😌 great video as always
Agree. This is my fave you tube cleaning channel. I used to really love Aurikateriina but she seems to clean similar looking homes and I don't find her videos as realistic as Midwest Magic Cleaning.
Once things get under control and more organized down the line, she should have a huge yardsale (or several). The duplicates would go fast -especially the kitchen odds & ends. Perfect for people just starting out in a new home
Woke up at 6 am was looking at my phone and up popped ypur vid, immediate smile on my face,thanks for getting my day off to a good start. Love you guys
crazy how much can fit into one kitchen, this woman probably easily could've fed two busloads of people and have a lot left over I hope she gets some support so it doesn't get this bad again, tremendous work from both of you
This heals my soul. Sometimes we get lost and just need a little help. Organizing is just so cathartic, thank you for your insight and attention to detail.
Your videos are so helpful. What you do for people is a real life saver. I used many of your tips to clean and organize my elderly parent's SMALL home ( cabin) that they live in. They had TOO many old food storage containers, new ones unused, expired food, items mixed in with "unlike" items. I was able to reduce it all to just what they "need"( 10 bags to the dump and 3 totes to the Goodwill) and organize things much better. My mother is legally blind and my father has low vision in one eye and very disorganized, so the clutter had really built up and so had the dust and dirt. we ALL feel so much better now that this is done. Thank you for your inspiration !
Watching this made me realise my kitchen's not so bad. I could clear that worktop, and I did! There's more to do but it's an encouraging to start. Thank you 😊
There's something about your videos that I find oddly relaxing. Watching you take a house that is cluttered and turn it into a place that is neat and orderly, what an accomplishment. Keep up the good work. Ray
Sure was a 2 man job, glad Jason was with you. Looking forward to seeing the basement if you film it. Glad she hired you for bi-weekly help! Thanks as always for sharing, caring, and the laughter you bring!
The baking cabinet, for us, is organized with small baskets. We put spices in one basket. Pull it out when needed. That way the stuff doesn't fall over when you pull something out. Also, to clean the soace you just pull out one thing. That has saved a lot of frustration. Having a cabinet for baking, etc. is so helpful. So motivating to see those spaces straightened up. Good job!
I’m always amazed at how people can afford to buy multiples of everything. I’m struggling just to buy the stuff we need, let alone extras. As usual, you and Jason have done an unbelievably amazing job. ❤
I learn so much from your videos! Sometimes my house overwhelms me. I have a very physically draining job and can only clean on my days off. I'm learning how to break it down into small parts. I also use a timer. This kitchen looked like such a huge job but you made it look awesome! I'm sure she was so happy with your work!
Wow 😮!! What a transformation!! Just having that clutter of stuff moved out, cleaned and organized calmed my mind - I can’t imagine how relieved the family must feel to be able to find things, and be able to eat at their table and use their kitchen as intended! Great job as always!! I always look forward to your vlogs! Have a great weekend!
My re-watch of the week! One of my favorites, lots of inspiration and thoughtful organization. Proves that it CAN be done ….just have to believe and DO IT. Love you Mack and Jason!! ♥️🐾😊
I am a cleaner too. Making the kitchen functional with less items is good. Later the items in the basement can be stored or donated. I understand people living in remote areas think differently about shopping and being prepared. I knew someone who said they could only get out to shop once a month. I put myself in a different mindset while watching this video and I found it interesting to following your problem solving. Nice job....and love the humor too!
I hope you go back and show more of this house. I cleaned out my silverware drawer yesterday, and it was pretty bad . I gotta do this to my kitchen. You inspire me.
I watch your videos over and over cause I love your humour. I find you very funny. You also inspire me to go thru my boxes that have been packed with stuff forever. Thanks 😊 blessings
WOW! Impressive! I did what you suggested to start one section of a room and clear off from there on out. It worked! I was feeling very overwhelmed and was able to have a nice clean living room and kitchen!
I clean houses for a living and I love your videos! Since I started watching your cleans, my “hand speed” has increased during real-life dusting and scrubbing because you run your videos at at LEAST double speed and my brain gets used to seeing that kind of speed. 🏎️. Cleaning vids are actually a good kind of Brain Washing (pun intended). 👍
Truly amazing work and I am so glad she hired you for regular cleaning. She still has enough excess food to outfit a small food bank, so you will probably save her money by gently reminding her not to buy more.
This clean kitchen was SO satisfying!!! I bet the owner was beside herself with emotion. ❤ you guys, keep up the amazing work & therapy you are sending out to the world!!! These videos really do help us struggling.
Living on rural, partially wooded acreage, with a dirt road and driveway, I understand. It's a trade off, because I love living in a quiet, beautiful place, with no close neighbor's. I really enjoy your insightful, humorous comments, and of course, the cleaning!
I don't use bleach either cause it causes me breathing problems. Your videos have inspired me to just clean a small area at a time so I don't get overwhelmed. Today I got motivated to wipe my whole fridge out and clean off my stove. I struggle with depression and sometimes I lack energy to clean a lot. I praise myself for whatever I can get done each day.
You get a huge WELL DONE! from me too!
Every little bit helps❤
Yes! Great job! Even if you just do one shelf, you’re making progress. Everything doesn’t have to be perfect. Sometimes perfectionism can shut me down. So I aim for 80% instead of 100% & that helps.
PS we are all proud of you
I can't use Gain or Febreze products for that reason. My daughter thinks I'm making it up.
I love the respect shown to the client. No judgement, in fact you defend and understand. I work in mental health, and that is what is needed. You literally are what the doctor prescribes. ❤
And what about he calling his son filth is that good??
@@Goofyivy it's called sarcasm. Take your judgment and attitude somewhere else..
Judgment re order can drive people into more mental health issues incl. unaliving thoughts. This is serious. Thank you for mentioning it. ❤
❤😊
Your videos are not annoying. If anything, they’re calming, therapeutic and funny!
Also helpful!!!
I agree
Definitely agree!
I put them on in the background while I work. His voice is very soothing and it helps me focus
Yes i agree,i just stumbled upon this channel ,i love it ,his voice so calming and relaxing i watch these videos while working at home cooking etc it motivates me alot.
Keep up the great work mate ,ur saving lives🙏❤️❤️❤️
I am not a very religious person, but I believe you are truly doing the "lords work." 🙂Thank you for donating your time & energy to helping people have a safer, healthier living environment! 🥰
Love your comment ❤
Its refreshing seeing men clean, especially deep cleaning and regular cleaning, not the typical carpet cleaning and auto detailing that men tend to stick to. Help around the house is lovely.
@@susansmith493😂😂
There are a lot of great men out there who do an amazing job helping around the house. 🙏💖
@@annamaesawyer7482 I like it when my husband helps me deep clean inside the house and not just outside. Actually, when we deep clean, it's a family affair, we all do it. My kids have been doing it since they were little, except when they were toddlers, but they first started by me going with them through their toys and asking them to be honest and get rid of their toys if they no longer played with them and they were not really special to them. Yes, my kids had that one or two special toy, anyhow, if they were broken beyond repair, they would be thrown and if not, we would take them to an orphanage and honestly that helped a lot because they got to see how lucky they are to have what they have. As a matter of fact my daughter told me once, that she might have a few more dolls to give away to those little girls who didn't have anything. Anyhow, sorry for the long comment but yes, it's always nice to see men and women to do jobs that are only "considered" for the opposite gender.
@@ch1ckmom217 I did the same thing and all their old toys, clothes and shoes went to the health dept clothes closet, a free resource for really poor people.
@@susansmith493Oh, gosh, don’t you have enough to do already ? Auto detailing requires more stamina & muscles that I have - but if that’s your desire, go for it !
Last week we had our 3 monthly inspection (standard practice for the rental market here in Australia) and whilst I was cleaning the grout in the shower, my sister comes in and asks me why I'm telling the shower that I'm going to spin kick the sh!t outta of it. She thought I was going mad! 😂😂😂 But honestly, quoting you makes cleaning more fun 😊🤘
I hate it when I can't find my coconut slapper, I hurt my hands slapping coconuts without my slapper 😢😅
🤣🤣👊
I just rock a funky soundtrack for the 3 months house inspections.., I can tell you I was a idiot doing the entire clean for the privilege and luxury of doing my own inspection for three years… my first real live human being turned up three weeks ago… if there’s a dishwasher around I put everything that has dust on it in the machine.. if it can’t survive the dishwasher it doesn’t deserve to live in my house
@@johayes7529 That's like clothes that are "dry clean only". They are about to be exposed to some harsh truths, living with me.

I have ADHD and cleaning and keeping stuff tidy is one of these things I'm the worst at. And these kinds of videos helps so much to keep me motivated to tackle stuff. My worst enemy is being overwhelmed and having problem knowing what to do in what order.
Appreciate the channel a lot! (just stumbled upon it recently.)
I would advise you to have a mask while doing the most dusty parts though. Dust is a killer over time. Just concerned for your lungs! :)
Great job guys !!!
I also have ADHD. But if I let the mess overwhelm me I get depressed. And we can't afford to get depressed. It's the devil. Simply ask God for help and the rest falls into place. 😊
There is an excellent UA-cam channel called "Clutterbug" -She also has ADHD. Has a lot of great advice on how to organize and not be overwhelmed by it all.
I had never considered keeping a wolf in my cupboard. We don’t have wolves in the UK, so the best I can do is a squirrel 😂
You’ve got foxes!
Squirrel is ok
I love that you don’t have noise or music in the background! ❤. Much easier to watch, thanks for that 😊
Yknow I like music in the background, but I actually prefer videos without because a) i can choose my own and b) makes it better for people who doesnt like it 😊
YES! I rarely like the music the UA-camr selects and find it to be annoying and distracting. I would prefer silence over canned music. So, I very much appreciate this video and will go subscribe now 🙂
Its 2 in the morning and im drunk, im ready for this to be right in my face!!
Its 2am..I'm not drunk but I too am ready for it to be all in my face hole. Lol
It’s 3:52am ET, recovering from knee replacement surgery in pain, and I’m here for insults & banter. Let’s Go!!
Got up at 4 a.m. EST, overjoyed to find a new MWMC video to watch. That was quite some kitchen!
It's 2am for me, too. Hey from Cali! #teamjason ❤
@@patricialynnmooreFeel Better soon!!❤❤❤
I am truly addicted to your videos, I laugh at your talk of Jason, he is such a sweet soul! But dude, you are freaking funny. Then I realize you honestly care for the people you help and actually love your kids. It is a refreshing realization to know you and your kids are doing ALL the work. Thank you for the time spent with you and your calming voice, I love it. God bless you for you and your childrens help to those that actually need it!!
God love Jason's heart. Precious that he has learned hard work from his dad.
Yes, and how to be repeatedly put down before thousands in a derogatory way, by his own Father.
@@amisklake5711You clearly do not understand their relationship. If you watched more than one video you would see this family is very close.
So I just discovered this channel about 6 hours ago and am now learning NOT to drink anything because you never know when you're going to literally LAUGH OUT LOUD...thus shooting coffee/iced tea/water out of every face hole you have! I don't know what I love more, the cleaning or the laughing I do!
FILTH!! JASON IS FILTH!!...Gets me everytime. Oh, the loud guffaw & cackling that one gets from me.
I just discovered him too and it’s insanely entertaining 😂😂😂😂
Right???😂😂😂😂😂
I am addicted to your channel, love your content and comments. Very clever and whimsical narration, so well done. Love your humor
Me too!
I'm also a house cleaner. God bless our work.. sometimes we are not so valued but our manual work demands a lot of our time, dedication and a lot of love.. I know that all work is hard work but our house cleaning demands a little more of us. and there are people who don't value our work. Your work is beautiful, congratulations for being so whimsical, you will go far. God blesses ❤
Plz know you ARE valued.. your fellow house cleaning cohorts are angels from God saving us who will ALWAYS need you.
I am disabled and rely on good folks like yourself and fabulous Jason to do what I no longer can. I thank my cleaning crew every time they visit my home and let them know how much I appreciate their work.
I am as well a compulsive shopper and I am so happy about the amount of respect you showed towards her. Hoarding things is very hard especially when you come from a poor background and afraid to be hungry or without. You did a great job organizing and cleaning. Love watching
My previous landlord said some of his tenants would pay rent in advance with any extra money they had, that way it was going towards a necessity and they didn’t give themselves a chance to spend it on frivolous stuff. I thought that was a brilliant idea for those that struggle with compulsive shopping.
I have issues with the same things, I think there is a certain level of Psychological trauma associated with growing up poor, and the way that is perceived by others and used as a tool to demean people. I have the same fears you do. I think a lot of people do, through no fault of their own. Isn’t it great to find somebody who truly understands and actually helps? I have reached Appoint watching his videos, where I have realized, I really don’t need all the stuff I have, and I have started to let go of things, it actually feels very wonderful. Good luck with it. It’s nice to know we’re not alone.
I would like to see her take a „no grocery shop“ challenge and see how long she can live off all that she has. Could save a ton of money, too.
Yes, I saw a year’s worth of honey for us go on the rolling shelf!❤
@@pravachan4355 I use it when I cook, not a lot, but it adds a nice flavor-and if you buy local honey, it actually helps you fight allergies. It really is a good food, in spite of the sugar.♥️✌️
I know right.. and she might have all the food on the counters because she couldn't reach it in the cupboards. but she can always have 1 box out... and what was that 6 bottles of honey?? and 2 kerig coffee pots and what 100 kerig coffee pods..??.. I can't imagine spending 10 hours cleaning.... ---- I spent an hour washing my dad's dishes and I told him I am getting rid of all the dishes, cups and silverware... except for 4 of each and he can rinse them out and reuse... because he won't soak the dishes.
She already lost thousands to what they had to throw away, but saving money is saving money.
I do that too but sometimes you need Say sausage to go with that gravy.
Since watching your show I have cleaned and organized the closet in my bedroom, my dresser drawers, my front bathroom and will begin working on the master bathroom cabinets. I already scoured the shower area (there is soooo much more work to do). You inspired me to look closely at what I’m buying and asking myself if I need or just want it because it’s cute, a good deal and etc.
❤️❤️👊
Lee willers I think once we take the time to take a good look at our lives realize what we are doing with our lives if we are please with what we are doing or just going from day to day taking it for granted, we can always make changes a wee bit at a time. The next thing we know we will see a big improvement, feel proud of what we have accomplished. We are given life to live it, enjoy, we are the only ones who can make changes if we are not enjoying our lives. We won't be enjoying life if we are not living it, that in it self can be depressing. It pays us to keep the environment around us clean clutter free. May I suggest when you are cleaning to down size while you are doing it, it makes it easier to get rid of what you don't need or. Want, makes your life easier. I always give my things to a charity called open arms, it helps with a variety of causes. I think sometimes when we shop to fill a void in our lives, it doesn't work, it is just a short time fix. I would rather. take the money go out for a meal with a friend, or a movie, spend some good quality time together. Watching these shows being able to see someone else clean is a real treat, joy for me. I went in other peoples home cleaned on a weekly basis. I would also do extra house. cleaning in the fall. Good luck on your cleaning, you are doing a great job with what you have done. I am proud of you !!!
Hey guys,
What a great video!
I just found you and subscribed.
I'm 75 and temporarily handicapped and using a walker.
You have given me some great cleaning tips so Thank You for that.
You do amazing cleaning/organizing.
After spending a year in hospital, I came home to 'the house
of horrors'!
My daughter took care of my 2 cats, kept the floors mopped and took out the garbage. But that's about all she had time for.
Being on a pension, I couldn't budget for a housekeeper. Prior to my emergency (3 perforated ulcers) surgery March/22, I was healing from a broken leg in Feb/22 and a bad concussion in Jan/22. At only 78 lbs and using a walker and an IV pole, I looked like an x-ray.
And I knew I'd have to clean my cluttered, dusty, some laundry and somewhat dirty apt all by myself.
Not one soul to help me clean and put things in order. All of my beautiful plants were dead, and everything was misplaced. My vacuum attachments were been thrown out and my new WHITE furniture was black with thick cat hair and mud (2 cats).
I was mortified!
I didn't know where to begin!
I just knew it would take at least 4 months for me to clean, reorganize the entire apt. as I was so slow and tired easily. I also have scoliosis and can't use a ladder because my scoliosis makes me unbalanced. However I worked away a bit at a time and things are starting to get cleaner and in order.
Its been 3 months now and I still have a lot to do.
I'm thankful to have survived and
getting better!
YOUR VIDEOS ARE AWESOME AND THEY ARE EXTREMELY HELPFUL TO ME!!
This past year has been a nightmare! So I've subscribed as I know you and your videos will help me get things done.
I cannot thank you enough!
Cheers! ❤❤
🇨🇦-Judy Butler
Where are you located Judy? I saw the Canadian flag and assumed Canada of course. If you just got home from hospital there should be some sort of home care available for you. Additionally I know of a company/person who does free cleaning depending on what city you live in. She goes by Nottheworstcleaner. Hope you are able to get some help. Cheers
Hello Janice,
I have a daughter by the same name. 😊
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful message.
I live in Brantford Ontario. (Southwestern Ontario).
Yes, I had Personal Support Workers when at home. They were to bathe me, sweep kitchen floor, wash dishes, make my bed and take out my garbage. They were a great help.
But there was a years worth of dust on everything. Some of my furniture had to be moved around to make room for a hospital bed, IV pole and many boxes of medical dressings, cases of liquid food which went through a tube in my abdomen as I was not allowed any food by mouth for quite s long time.
Dead plants everywhere. They would also fold and put away clean laundry. But it's taken months for me to find things: clothes mixed in with towels and sheets and everything stuffed all over the linen closet. Thick, sticky dust on my ceiling fans as well as the range hood over the stove. Utensils were scattered in various drawers.
I still haven't found the accessory attachments for my 2 cordless vacs which had been stored in bags and hung up on my furnace room wall. They must have been accidently thrown out with the garbage.
The bathroom was cluttered with shampoo and lotion bottles here and there.
I weighed only 78 lbs, lost muscle mass so was too weak to do much more than one thing a day.
But, now I'm eating like a horse with real food again. Gaining back weight and walking unassisted without my walker. I lost my driver's license too so I gave my brand new SUV to my daughter. She takes me out when I need to go anywhere. But I take my walker for safety.
And now, I've gotten a lot done but still have quite a few things (like the fans) that I can't do. But things are getting better. I now can take my garbage out to the dumpster, I cook and bake (banana muffins today). And I have a little apt washer and dryer, so I do all my own laundry!
I grew some petunias and cherry tomatoes from seed for my balcony! My granddaughter is coming down from Barrie this weekend to finish doing things here for me. She also is a PSW. And I'm a retired PSW.
My daughter, Janice is my 'rock'. This has been VERY hard on her too!
But, it's all good. We're making slow but steady progress.
I'm lucky to have survived. So, everyday is a Miracle!
Sorry for such a long message. I never get any visitors and sometimes I'm lonely. And I can talk your face off! 🤣
Take care and be well, Janice. You seem like a lovely person.
Cheers! 💞💖
Judy
Hello Judy, I wish you all the best! ❤❤❤
Doesn’t make sense. If your daughter was taking out the trash, how’d you end up with more it seems. If she cleaned the floor, she neglected everything else? The house of horrors is caused by whom? Her? Since she had access to it.
@@judybutler5129Hi Judy, it's been 3 months since that update, and I hope you are still on the up, and that you have got your lovely home shipshape again. Maybe somebody has been able to clean those fans? 😊
Wishing you all the best, and a better 2024 xxx
Nope! I can’t imagine having that much stuff! You just amaze me by how you motor through. I’d be in a corner completely riddled with anxiety. Kudos to you and your son. You obviously know how to roll!
You guys are amazing! Even Jason 😉 This woman must feel like the weight of the world was off her shoulders when she saw this kitchen after you guys did such an amazing job! I’m so glad that she has scheduled you guys to come back on a regular basis! Once she gets used to how good you are she might just want you to move in. thanks, as always, for being so smart and funny and compassionate and sharing so many good tips. You really are magic! 💕
Awesome job! 👍👍👍👍👍
What a gargantuan undertaking! Overwhelming does not come even close to describe her kitchen. Your help organizing, sorting, and cleaning was so impressive. Now she can see everything, and not feel so incredibly crowded. So proud of your good, hard work. Unbelievable job. Patti
YOU ARE KIDDING ABOUT JASON, RIGHT?
I just got an over night job cleaning at a college, your random cleaning tips like how to clean the streaks off of windows/mirrors with a dry cloth has saved me so much trial and error. Plus when im working i can have videos on with my head phones and clean together, its been awesome!
Good hustle!❤
You have a herculean amount of patience, being trapped in a kitchen for 20 hours with an absolutely detestable scumbag and NOT punching him square in the nose at any moment. Bravo, sir.
I do think punching his son, or anyone, would be an assault. THAT would end in jail time.
@@lanasimpson499new?
Lol, too funny!
Love Jason... Team Jason!!
He barely made it through the day- a man truly with god-like self-control.
Never ceases to amaze me how ‘quick’ it can be to clean up. It is hard to get started sometimes but really when you consider how long it takes for things to get to that point, relatively speaking clean up can happen in under 24 hours if you really want it to.
I really do love your understanding and compassion for the people you help. If you keep like things together in your cabinets, you can see what you have and so I don't overspend. I turfed out my medicine cabinet last weekend. Oh my goodness, I had teething gel in there. My kids are 22 and 19!! Give my love to Filth xx
Love that about the teething gel! Lol!
This kitchen looks like my grandma's kitchen before she passed away. She used to spend too much on food, got too sick to do the upkeep. She kept buying for a huge family but it was only her at that point. We tried to come in and clean when we could, but lived 12 hours from her. This must have been a very hard job because you have to keep stopping checking food. I'm sure this lady was very relieved ❤
New subscriber here. I've always had a hard time keeping up with cleaning my space (my room as a teenager, my apartment as an adult). After watching this video, I found the courage to get started. I did one surface completely, like you said, and the feelings of accomplishment and satisfaction were definitely there after. I kept going after that and I've already done more in half a day than I've done all year thanks to that method! So thanks!
Молодец, что нашел в себе силы.
“Wait a minute, where’s my coconut slapper? I really needed my coconut slapped and you guys got rid of it!” 😂 I’m convinced there’s no better cleaning commentary anywhere than here.
It's completely unreasonable for me to look forward to these cleaning videos but they are a real highlight to my day.
It's the satisfaction of cleaning that draws you in, without having to do the work...lol..motivating too.
Absolutely love your videos. Motivates me to clean but mine is not this bad thank goodness.
It's unreasonable to NOT look forward to these videos. Extremely unreasonable. Bordering on immoral actually. X
Focusing on 1 area at a time helps me not to feel overwhelmed. I keep things neat and picked up. We had company that left after staying with us almost a week. I felt overwhelmed when cleaning. I told myself, 1 area at a time. It really helped me not to feel overwhelmed and i got it done. ❤
As someone who had a cleaning business for over 20 years. I often dislike cleaning videos because I get really frustrated watching them. You guys are great...I would have been really happy to have employed you!!
I enjoy how quiet and dry you are…then BAM you hit with a joke or a laugh that I DID NOT SEE COMING. Oh, the cleaning stuff is good, too. 😊
I understand this mess! I lost my dad and my father in law back to back. 2 house holds of stuff came to our house! Our 6 per house plus sooooo much more it has been a 6 year nightmare because of work and busy kids. But we have purged and purged and purged over the years, we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Us too..
Bless you...
I feel you-
FIL died and MIL sold house stuff comes to my garage.
Mom dies and Dad sells house stuff comes to my garage
Ex moves to Australia and stuff for kids comes to my garage
Son moves to TX stuff moves to my garage
Other Som marries and moves to Denver and stuff including wedding gifts move to my garage.
🙄
@@lindab.716 Mannnn, I know how that is! We just cleaned out our garage and I can finally park my car in it again after 2 years. There is still a LOT of stuff in there, on entire wall is tool boxes all filled with tools. We have not had time to go through all the tools and purge what we don't need yet. My husband does use his tools though so there will always be a lot of tools. We live on a farm, he does all the repairs from cars, mowers, tractor, plumbing. Yard work we do all our own house work too. Just a lot of stuff 🥴 plus kids.
@@lindab.716how big a garage do you have?...
@@CainXVII it was a 2 car garage and the car couldn’t fit. I’ve sense moved and had to take measures to distribute my kids stuff to them. All have moved out to their own places.
Doing the table first reminds me of making your bed (which we do daily). It makes your bedroom seem a bit cleaner.
It does, and it motivates you to clean the room, because it doesn't let you leave a mess with a made bed...lol
Making your bed every morning makes you feel like you've accomplished something! Then you get on with your day, feeling organized.
One thing I did learn was that you should pull the covers down and pillows off and let the bed air for a bit. We create a warm damp environment in it-and dust mites love that! So if it cools off a bit and dries-not as many of them. I can’t always do this, but do when I have time
My home is slightly cluttered, but not anywhere near to what is seen in your videos. You have inspired me to declutter and organize better! Thanks for your videos and for the help you provide to others. God Bless You!
Bro, this was somehow motivating, heartwarming, AND funny all at once. Love the judgement-free compassion and the humor. And the use of “wolf” as a verb. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber!
I love the way you explain the purpose to the cleaning. One area at a time. I need to tackle my kitchen again, so I will be cleaning off a table and use it for staging. Jason did an awesome job. He has a great teacher in you. Have a fantastic weekend!
Yes! I think it is so helpful that he explains how to clean and also the why behind the actions! We see people clean on videos but very few go through the details and why it is good mentally.
As Jason is decluttering the corner between the stove and the sink, I notice a little sign near the window "You are my sunsine". 😄
"coconut slapper" had me rollin' 🤣🤣 And the "werewolf pills"!!! Too funny!
Wow I’m too exhausted after watching this to spin kick my own house. Seven in the morning on a Saturday and now I need a nap after watching this. She must have felt such a weight lifted, well needed after being with her friend in hospice. I pray her heart heals.❤
Oh, and thank you for explaining the dust situation. I used to live out in the country with my ex husband. He always blamed me for the dust, saying I was wasn’t cleaning well.
We need more people like you! My mother is a hoarder and I don’t know how to help her :( you work wonders that’s for sure!
I say I inherited the hoarding gene and really have to fight with it! My collection of cat figurines occupies ONE shelf, and that's it. I'm constantly fighting the urge to buy more computer stuff because you really need that. LOL.
@@laurac5451 I have seen big guys at work have a hard time keeping control sometimes!
Too bad some of the food couldn't be donated or composted.
My sister is hoarder as well and now her adult daughter is. I left home at 17 but also spent about 6 months of every year with my grandmother until she became ill when I was 13 and I had to live permanently with my mother and her boyfriend who she met when I was 10. My half siblings did not have the great family that I visited while living with my grandmother. There was excess alcohol use in the home and then poverty when the boyfriend left . My mother had children 11, 10 and 8 and had to move to low income housing. My sister worked in restaurants and was used to making lg quantities of food which she continued to do at her own home. She bought excessive clothing for the daughter and fed her excessively. Her kitchen cupboards, closets, counters were packed with stuff. I would visit in the summer and clean. I thought that it was out of control as she was usually working two jobs. Then, I realized that they were more annoyed with me helping so I just visited. Now her husband has died and she struggles as they wasted so much money on any kitchen gadget that you could imagine and excessive buying. Now she is doing the same thing to my mother's apartment buying excessive food and incontinence products and charging my mother. My brother lives with my mother and will not put his foot down with the sister. The sister and I no longer talk as she and her daughter conived to claim my mother falsely as a dependent on income tax. My mother is 89 and was always challenging. Unfortunately, hoarding is linked to mental health and any suggestions to my sister in the past were dismissed. She has created another generation of this as she did not seek any counseling. If you identify yourself from this excellent video seek some professional guidance to better your life. Having clutter like this actually adds to your stress level. I am a nurse and fortunately I had a hospital employer that had free counseling as a benefit and it helped me a lot to deal with my childhood trauma. I do not live in the same city as my Mom and sister and have advised my brother but only he can decide how to deal with his mentally unhealthy sister.
Understanding where the hoarding comes from, e.g. trauma or even ADHD or similar, can make a huge difference. Once you can identify the patterns and resons you can tackle it. ❤
You and your son were a godsend for this woman! Impulse buying and hoarding can end up becoming overwhelming to the individual! I'm impressed and I'm sure she is grateful!Looks great guys👍🏻
Wow, great job!! She must feel so happy. : ) Thanks for taking the extra step to clean the cat food bowls. : )
Great start to the kitchen. I have 2 cleaning methods (don’t judge). 1) clear a space to set up a work space. 2). Empty every stinking cabinet starting with top cabinets even the useless ones above fridge. 3) wipe out cabinets 4) sort the items and restock each cabinet. Or the other method is to do one cabinet at a time and rearrange the items per cabinet. I really do first one because it forces me to complete the task and I have every item grouped together within its family.
I also check expiration dates on items. ❤❤❤❤
This makes sense. You would determine which method to use based on how much time you have and how messy the space is. If the space is very messy and you have time, use method 1. If the space isn't very messy and/or you don't have a lot of time per cleaning session, you would use method 2.
I cleaned, decluttered and organized my pantry and medicine cabinet and drawers because this video just motivated me! What a change.
I had the motivation and follow through to clean a single fridge drawer yesterday. It wasn't much, but it was more than I've had in years. These videos helped.
I’m actually thinking 💭 as soon as I’m good I’m definitely going to first get my own house in order and then volunteer my services once a week, it’s great to see what a difference your making to people’s lives by simply clearing up their problems and yes it’s definitely a problem, wether it be ill health, depression, exhaustion or a crisis that’s put everything else on hold , God Bless your a fine fellow and so are your mates ! 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you and Jason for cleaning others' homes who are too overwhelmed. I love watching your videos!
Love these cleaning videos! I cleaned houses for close to twenty years and I have to say I was very good at what I did. I am retired now but I love cleaning and watching your videos. I have learned a few tips from you, so I am giving you a few tips. When cleaning the Sink with bar keepers friend put a drop of dish soap in the sink with BKF and scrub and then rinse and the white residue will wash down the drain. Tell your son when loading the dishwasher always hand wash the big pots and pans that way he willl have more room for all the little dishes and less hand washing. Hugs and Blessings!
Amazing job guys!!!!! Your client must feel like the worlds been lifted off her shoulders. Excellent job, having you guys going in to help her on regular basis is going to be a lifesaver!!!!
Wow. Inspiring =) and extra Thanks for replacing cat food & water that got messy in the process!
You are a hard working man. I clean just a little bit of my house to feel knackered. You clean for hours.
I watch your cleaning videos to relax after feeling exhausted from cleaning! How ironic is that!!!?? Somehow it's so relaxing to watch. I love your voice!! ♥️
Thank you for your hardwork. And showing respect to the person that has lived in the situation. Very nice and respectful. ❤
Yay another video! She should sing the song from frozen when she cleans...let it go let it go. I noticed in one of your home videos that you were using a Swiffer wet jet so I bought one earlier this week and I love it. So fast and easy. We need more filth like Jason in the world. ❤️ You guys.
What a great saying for a tshirt! We need more filth like Jason in the world, Midwest cleaning! And slap the dirt! And round kick the filth off of it!
That was a mahoosive task that you've tackled brilliantly! Seriosuly, I love the transformation of that kitchen! 😮 Plus, you had the added task of having to put up with extra filth that is Jason, for which you deserve ALL the followers out there.
Thank you for doing this!! It’s is so refreshing to see that there is still good in this world. Hoarding is tradition in my family. It seems to have skipped me. So I help them sort and clean during summer break from school. Your videos have given us a better plan and motivation!! Thank you!!!
The fact that you are so respectful is such a wonderful thing to hear 😊
I’m so glad I’ve got a video to watch tonight! I’ve had powerful autistic overwhelm all day and your content is so damn soothing for my brain.
This is very similar to my kitchen - I have the same cabinets (even the same ‘decorative’ rail above the cabinets.) Mine isn’t quite that well-stocked…but it’s bad enough, and has gotten worse over the past 3 years due to long work hours. Thank you for helping this family. Thank you for giving me the motivation to start decluttering today. When you live with something day to day - it gets more difficult to actually ‘see’ how much is there.
One cabinet a week would be a reasonable goal, if you're not exhausted.
Mine need it to.
I honestly think it’s very cool of you to be so respectful of people’s privacy that you won’t read any prescription labels. Especially when it comes to health stuff, people can be very self conscious about issues they have so I think it’s great that you go out of your way to respect their privacy in that way.
Werewolf? Dracula? Many of the things you say, have me laughing!! Thank you. We all need humor in our lives.
We used to save the medicine bottles, and last year tossed them. They can be a great item to put sharps in to throw away, such as needles and razors, etc.
Your YT channel is very enjoyable. We are dealing with excess after a death in the family, and although we got rid of a lot of stuff, we are finding ourselves a little overwhelmed. I appreciate how empathetic you are towards the individuals who end up in these type situations. Not all situations are so overwhelming, but life happens to each of us. Keep up the great footage and encouragement you share with all.
Not only do you do a really good job, but you are a really honest person, who does not judge these "mess hats" who need your help. Thanks to both father and son 🙂(Your humor is spot on! 😁)
Another great video. I need someone like your team to do my house. Not just cleaning but organising. It really does feel overwhelming sometimes
Yes! I love that you left the sounds in the video ❤ I personally find it much more enjoyable to watch when there is no music, just the sound of cleaning 😌 great video as always
Not only do you motivate me to clean my flat, but you make me laugh too. Great job guys, best cleaning channel on you tube.
Agree. This is my fave you tube cleaning channel. I used to really love Aurikateriina but she seems to clean similar looking homes and I don't find her videos as realistic as Midwest Magic Cleaning.
Once things get under control and more organized down the line, she should have a huge yardsale (or several). The duplicates would go fast -especially the kitchen odds & ends. Perfect for people just starting out in a new home
Woke up at 6 am was looking at my phone and up popped ypur vid, immediate smile on my face,thanks for getting my day off to a good start. Love you guys
crazy how much can fit into one kitchen, this woman probably easily could've fed two busloads of people and have a lot left over
I hope she gets some support so it doesn't get this bad again, tremendous work from both of you
This heals my soul. Sometimes we get lost and just need a little help. Organizing is just so cathartic, thank you for your insight and attention to detail.
❤ Thank you for keeping me company while I dye my horribly overgrown roots. I'm spin kicking them in the face!!! Team Jason! Whoop whoop!!! 🎉
Your videos are so helpful. What you do for people is a real life saver. I used many of your tips to clean and organize my elderly parent's SMALL home ( cabin) that they live in. They had TOO many old food storage containers, new ones unused, expired food, items mixed in with "unlike" items. I was able to reduce it all to just what they "need"( 10 bags to the dump and 3 totes to the Goodwill) and organize things much better. My mother is legally blind and my father has low vision in one eye and very disorganized, so the clutter had really built up and so had the dust and dirt. we ALL feel so much better now that this is done. Thank you for your inspiration !
You’re a wonderful daughter to your parents and an Angel for looking out for them and giving them needed help! God bless you!
Watching this made me realise my kitchen's not so bad. I could clear that worktop, and I did! There's more to do but it's an encouraging to start. Thank you 😊
There's something about your videos that I find oddly relaxing. Watching you take a house that is cluttered and turn it into a place that is neat and orderly, what an accomplishment. Keep up the good work. Ray
Sure was a 2 man job, glad Jason was with you. Looking forward to seeing the basement if you film it. Glad she hired you for bi-weekly help! Thanks as always for sharing, caring, and the laughter you bring!
The baking cabinet, for us, is organized with small baskets. We put spices in one basket. Pull it out when needed. That way the stuff doesn't fall over when you pull something out. Also, to clean the soace you just pull out one thing. That has saved a lot of frustration. Having a cabinet for baking, etc. is so helpful. So motivating to see those spaces straightened up. Good job!
I found magnetic little shelves for the spices that go on the fridge. VERY handy, and they are secure.
I’ve watched this one a few times.I think I like kitchen cleans the best……soothes my anxiety for some reason. Good job…..👏🏾
This really inspired me to re-organize my kitchen this week because it hasn't been organized since I moved over a year ago.
I’m always amazed at how people can afford to buy multiples of everything. I’m struggling just to buy the stuff we need, let alone extras. As usual, you and Jason have done an unbelievably amazing job. ❤
I agree
Lots and lots of debt.
I learn so much from your videos! Sometimes my house overwhelms me. I have a very physically draining job and can only clean on my days off. I'm learning how to break it down into small parts. I also use a timer. This kitchen looked like such a huge job but you made it look awesome! I'm sure she was so happy with your work!
Wow 😮!! What a transformation!! Just having that clutter of stuff moved out, cleaned and organized calmed my mind - I can’t imagine how relieved the family must feel to be able to find things, and be able to eat at their table and use their kitchen as intended! Great job as always!! I always look forward to your vlogs! Have a great weekend!
I love her kitchen cabinet. All solid wood and the size is just right.
My re-watch of the week! One of my favorites, lots of inspiration and thoughtful organization. Proves that it CAN be done ….just have to believe and DO IT. Love you Mack and Jason!! ♥️🐾😊
I am a cleaner too. Making the kitchen functional with less items is good. Later the items in the basement can be stored or donated. I understand people living in remote areas think differently about shopping and being prepared. I knew someone who said they could only get out to shop once a month. I put myself in a different mindset while watching this video and I found it interesting to following your problem solving. Nice job....and love the humor too!
I hope you go back and show more of this house. I cleaned out my silverware drawer yesterday, and it was pretty bad . I gotta do this to my kitchen. You inspire me.
I watch your videos over and over cause I love your humour. I find you very funny. You also inspire me to go thru my boxes that have been packed with stuff forever. Thanks 😊 blessings
I love that you use your strengths to help other people!
WOW! Impressive! I did what you suggested to start one section of a room and clear off from there on out. It worked! I was feeling very overwhelmed and was able to have a nice clean living room and kitchen!
I clean houses for a living and I love your videos! Since I started watching your cleans, my “hand speed” has increased during real-life dusting and scrubbing because you run your videos at at LEAST double speed and my brain gets used to seeing that kind of speed. 🏎️. Cleaning vids are actually a good kind of Brain Washing (pun intended). 👍
I can't even wrap my head around this situation. Kudos to you all.
your cleaning videos are like works of art, so relaxing to watch!! thank you for sharing~
Wow, this house is going to provide a lot of content.
Truly amazing work and I am so glad she hired you for regular cleaning. She still has enough excess food to outfit a small food bank, so you will probably save her money by gently reminding her not to buy more.
I could use your help... I admire the way you are helping people.
Dude your commentary is as great as your cleaning! Love this.
This clean kitchen was SO satisfying!!! I bet the owner was beside herself with emotion. ❤ you guys, keep up the amazing work & therapy you are sending out to the world!!! These videos really do help us struggling.
Living on rural, partially wooded acreage, with a dirt road and driveway, I understand. It's a trade off, because I love living in a quiet, beautiful place, with no close neighbor's. I really enjoy your insightful, humorous comments, and of course, the cleaning!
New subscriber here. Bless your heart for helping this lady out. Your sense of humor is hilarious.😂
I love how DEEPLY and uncontrollably you freaking love Jason
