I'm a recovering lvl 3 horder. I woke up one day and realized it. Funny how I didn't see it before. I started out removing 1 extra bag of garbage a day until 90% of it was gone. Then started in the kitchen throwing out things I didn't need or use. It took me 6 months to clean out my house. It's still not perfect but you can move from room to room without stepping on or bumping into things. It's still a work in progress and I have to remind myself that I never want to live like I did before.
Yes always tidy and keep up with your house but not too much or not too not cleaning. Man, Paula is a mess she need some mental help or extra help to clean her house. Maybe she is all alone with cleaning
@@jadevu904I've only watched the intro but I feel bad for her. You just know Paula was feeling bad for the other ladies kids while she was talking about what they're not allowed to do and where they're not allowed to go. A mentally ill person telling another person who's probably mentally ill how to live their life. I have 4 kids and 4 cats and 2 dogs. My house isn't immaculate but it's clean. I have a robot vacuum which is a godsend and my kids can pick up the floor for the robot they know they have to put away anything they don't want sucked up. 🤣 The cat litters have to be plentiful so nobody has any accidents but most cats only poo once a day, immediately after you feed them breakfast and clean their wee litter so if you do it once a day after your morning chores are done it's more than enough, even with multiple cats. And no, they don't innately stink, if you can smell your cats they're marking because they're territorial and need more enrichment or you need to clean the litter. Simple. Just make it in your morning routine right after you put your first load of the day on. My morning routine is- Let the dogs out and feed them, feed the cats, empty the dishwasher, put a load of washing on, put the dry stuff away, clean the cat litter, let the cats out into the run, feed the kids breakfast, stack the dishes and clean the kitchen, put the kids lunches in their bags, take them to school. The robot vac starts while I'm out and cleans after I'm home. I get back and have the day to potter and do bigger tasks as needed. Shopping, mowing the grass, watering plants, making beds, doing a hobby, going to the gym, walking the dogs, reading a book in the sun with the cats (in their catio) etc. it's not impossible to stay on top of it. 6 hours a day is absolutely bonkers.
There’s a massive difference between being untidy and being unhygienic. These houses were filthy and germ infested. However,the obsessive cleaners also live an unhealthy lifestyle as their lives have been overtaken by constant cleaning and fanaticism and they all need some sort of therapy to help them. Both extremes are very sad and there’s so much to be said for a happy medium!
To some extent the extra clean house or environment is also a sort of hazard. I'm thinking that the immune system needs a bit of a workout here and there. But yes, you are right, either lifestyle comes with a lot of emotional baggage and inherent sadness.
@@roibu1160 immune systems are built outside the home ... it wouldn't be a bad thing unless they are housebound or never go out .. if they live normal life's, socialising, working ect but keep a clean home it won't negatively affect them
The OCD cleaners are like Sisyphus eternally pushing a boulder up a mountain. They'll never stop germs existing, they'll never get to a point where they can stop cleaning, they're just stuck in an endless cycle achieving nothing and not living their lives. It's extremely unhealthy.
Something thats not really talked about is how emotionally neglected the children of obsessive cleaners are. Like any addict, their primary relationship is with their addiction, not with the people around them.
Discerning difference is they don’t have an “addiction” to cleaning, it’s an obsessive compulsion stemming from anxiety that if they do not perform the rituals - harm will come to themselves and others. Expresses similarly but the root is completely differently
Same would go for the emotional neglect experienced by children with parents who have ANY mental illness - depression, anxiety, ptsd etc. you wouldn’t say someone is addicted to having being “lazy” stemming from depression. There’s a lot of nuances.
@@HereIAm247Even if he was into men, there is no reason to look at them as a couple. They wouldn't be at all compatible - their age, personality, and lifestyles are completely different. Tom would hate it. Idk why people always try and throw gay men together🙄
Yeah I admit as lovely as Louise's home is and absolute respect to her for keep her house gorgeous but she's rude and hurtful and that's uncalled for..Paula already felt low and in need of help without been made to feel like she's beneath anyone ..Shane on Louise for that
@@sarahn1113 Yeah i don't like that Louise , she's so full of herself . And what's the point in the kids not being allowed to enter the walk in wardrobe ? *smh* surely they should be allowed to get their own clothes as they're growing up .
We never get to see the cameramen, it's most likely they're wearing something like space suits. I'll never understand though how anyone can live among such revolting filth. In most cases it's just a matter of dust and untidiness in a lot of homes which can be tackled quite easily. Here we're talking about the foulest kitchens and toilets which haven't been cleaned in years and are a delightful playground for cockroaches and mice. I can't help thinking that the producers of this programme add extra dirt and rubbish to these houses to make them more shocking than what they are.
"At least its not cluttering up the kitchen" with the biggest smile on his face. "These vitamins are out of date by 9 yrs, you could die if you take this" "Maybe ill take one" Gareth is me in 15 yrs
Gareth’s right. When my OCD was really out of control I couldn’t have people in my home either. People equates to germs. I stopped inviting people into my home because I was stressed/scared by the ‘germs’ and dirt they would bring into my house. My kids lived a very sheltered stressful life. My house was immaculate but none of us were happy. Balance is important. You can have a clean home and still allow your home to be ‘lived’ in
Does it really? The mother of 9 is probably neglecting her children in order to clean & disallowing them from being a child.. I hate that they flex with the ‘9 children’, idk what the occupations are of either, but I’m PRETTY sure one of them is a housewife & while that’s respectable, OF COURSE she has time..
Mother of one I would not help her. There’s no way your house should be that dirty what one child and she has nine children. My mother told me every day when I was growing up to do some type of housework every day.
@@aneesahshareef2899nobody would ask someone as horribly judgemental as you for help. Imagine... Existing to judge rather than help others. Well, have some of that judgement back.
I can guarantee that her children get less done for them than most children from small families. I’m the oldest of six and I know from experience that there’s no way she has time to do everything for them. Especially with her cleaning taking up all the time
our mother did everything ... she was a stay at home mother / housewife so that was her job ... I was a student, a very good one, that was my job & dad went out every day to his job ... when I left home to get my first flat I was able to keep it clean, some memories of what mum did & standard common sense ...
Quick succession breeders often use the older kids to pick up the slack of parenting 🤷 So Louise is probably just good at training humans to do what she wants.
@@syasyaishavingfun she's not a child abuser she has a messy house, give your head a wobble! Also if you watch hoarders US you will see horrific conditions that children are living in and CPS don't get involved so climb down off of that high horse.
24:49 lol Gareth is such a nice guy. he has such a positive view on everything. even when tom was constantly telling him how dirty his house is gareth is in such a good mood. im glad all these hoarders decided to get help. it must be so depressive to see clutter and rubbish piling up day by day but not having time or motivation to clean it. and it must have taken them a lot of courage to ask for help.
It tugged on my heart when tom handed him the vitamins saying "take one of them it would kill you" and Gareth said he's tempted. It might come off as a joke, but with his mentioned depression....bless him
I think it is important to give children responsibility, they are quite capable of making their beds and tidying toys and putting dirty clothes in the wash bin. Doing it all yourself just wears you out and there is less time to enjoy quality time doing family things.
Absolutely spot on! Plus if you don't teach your kids to tidy up after themselves they just grow into trampy people that don't look after themselves or their surroundings/belongings
@@alison2984 hats off to you but I do know I few people who weren't taught and their house is disgusting so 9 times out of 10 it ends up this way when kids aren't taught the basics
I think she likes being a martyr. "Look at everything I used to do for! I had to cook and clean all the time, because there were nine of you!" . Yeah yeah, mum, you could have avoided that.
Training kids to help with chores is really important. But you have to allow them to DO the chores and not expect perfection. I don't know if Louise allows that with her kids And as I mentioned in another comment, she may have an unpleasant surprise when the kids reach the teen years. Good luck enforcing military cleanliness with teens while still having a good parental relationship with them. Choose your battles.
My current depressive episode means my house is on the slippery slope. My bathroom is always clean, and I do vacuum and change the cat litter, but I have too much stuff, and I really need to declutter. I'm binge watching these to motivate me!
Being ocd can really effect family and kids. Louise might think her extreme cleanliness is positive but can you imagine military regimen the family need to endure.
I feel so bad for her kids. I'd reckon they'd much rather have a mother than a spotless microwave. It's not good for the kids to live in a sterile environment, they'll end up getting sick eveeytime they leave the house. But she is happily putting her mental issue over the best interests of her children.
She has own youtube channel named Clean With Louise Plus 10. In one video she shows how her house looks after 48 hours of not cleaning. After that video I understood how difficult it would be for her if she didn´t clean every day.
Military regimen would mean she gives her children autonomy, responsibility and trust. She cleans after them and forbids them from picking out their own clothes... It's all the controlling cons without the actual teaching discipline.
My dad was one of 6 and my grandmother ran that house like my grandfather ran his ship in the Navy. If you don't have order and rules and make your kids clean up when you have a large family it goes to shit very quickly.
Sheesh... good thing Louise didn't get Gareth 's home. Paula's house is a dream in comparison. Louise's constant judgemental comments and combative attitude is quite grating.
Paula was simply lazy. Being pregnant isn't an excuse for not cleaning. Having pets and a kid living like that, is abuse. I have 2 dogs and if they have an accident (diarrhea happens), I will smell it in my sleep and wake up and clean it. Even if one doesn't smell it immediately, clean it the next day. I deep clean once a week, but I make sure that my pets and I, have a clean home to live in. My dogs go on my bed, so the bedding is changed 3 times a week,even if I wash their paws every time they go outside.
@@Sillygirl2315 I have health issues and was disabled for quite some time, still kept on top of my cleaning even if I was in excruciating pain, every single day. I understand stuff can happen, but I also understand that when one has an illness, any type of illness, it can definitely be exacerbated by clutter and dirt. I have 2 autoimmune conditions and if I lived like a pig, my conditions would definitely worsen. Paula didn't seem to think it was a big deal that she had pets and a child living in those conditions and that is definitely abuse, to force someone to live in such a home. Her child can't clean for himself and the cats don't either. The cats vomited and pooped everywhere, because the whole house was like a bathroom to them. If you have a child and pets, this is not how you cherish having them in your life. This is not the way to show someone you love them. I'd never do this to my dogs,because I love and appreciate them way too much and I know that they enjoy being clean and living in a clean environment.
When does Louise spend time with her children. When they grow up possible the only thing they will remember of her was she was only interested in cleaning.
Louise is just rude, she didn't have to say things like that, we know she has 9 children and an immaculate house, but she is still OCD, so her immaculate house should cost a lot from her and her children in terms of peace.
Very rude. And sanctimonious... her house is NOT a home... it's a show house, I bet the kids are terrified of getting a speck of dirt, or untidiness anywhere. Do they wear gloves to play in???
If you are not rude to a child abuser who would you be rude to? She endanger her child living like this. If this is America CPS would be called already.
"Her 9 children will learn nothing if she's doing everything." Not true. My kids had a childhood and I did most stuff but they are adults now. They have jobs, can cook, bake and clean and shop and are all independent.Oh and I only have 2 grandchildren.
oh Paula.... I think her problem is denial. she's just like someone who has 1001 excuses for not doing 1 thing. and then being defensive when she's confronted.
Paula asked some very telling questions about allowing children to do age appropriate chores, hanging up clothing, making their own beds, packing away their toys etc.. Mom is extremely proud of doing it ALL. Her absolute belief that they will do the same amount of cleaning when they leave home is so misplaced as to be delusional. And she won't be visiting their homes or lodgings??? Mom has an equally if not more serious disorder than Paula!
louse was way too judgemental tbh. paulas house was dirty yes, but totally in a different way compared to gareth. she might have just been overwhelmed. but i really liked paulas little sassy comebacks 😂
3 minutes in and i already dislike her "no excuse not to clean" bollocks.Mental Illness is such a problem. And imagine being her oldest kid and not being able to pick out your own clothes? I'd be embarrassed if she was my mam.
@@ohitscatto I agree with everything you said 👍 Mental illness affects people in ways others often don't realise and the clean woman is teaching her kids to clean but they should have independence with choosing their clothes.
@@marcel9568 agreed. I cant believe most people are sided with her. I mean Louise came to help her and everytime she asks her a question she answers with an attitude. So rude. Louise is not very understanding either but...
Always great seeing people from both ends of the spectrum and extreme coming together. You know automatically that they'll be a clash of interests and outlooks. Needless to say both parties appear to reflect on their own behaviour and hopefully they'll learn from this experience. Easy to be critical of others when you don't really know the dilemmas people themselves are going through. I perfectly understand the woman with nine children having a daily cleaning routine. For anyone with one child it's enough determination to make more of a conscious effort to clean. Having nine children all you would really have time for is cleaning, washing and ironing. Her children certainly looked happy and healthy enough.
Imagine that this woman is blaming her 4 yr old as the reason for the house so filthy.. wow! Really? I think the producers deliberately found a woman with lots of kids who's in charge of her business to show up how delusional the situation is.
she’s not blaming her son, she said she herself lost control of the house. she was too caught up with looking after her newborn to realise her house was turning into a dump.
Louise having all her kids' clothes in one room that they're not allowed in doesn't make sense. The older ones can't dress themselves without her permission because they need her to get the clothes for them. So stupid. Makes way more sense for their clothes to be in their cupboards in their rooms and then you have 1 extra room to use which, with 9 kids, you could definitely use.
I thought it was actually quite a smart idea. If she had put every of her kids’ clothes into their room, she would have to sort them anyway, and buy new wardrobes to store them in, which would mean less space in the kids play area, so having everything in one spot is less work and easier to organize. Many of the kids probably have the same size, so she probably has their clothes sorted by size, and they share them, until they get bigger and can fit into their siblings clothes. It’s not quite logical for the teenager’s clothes, though. I agree with you there. He’s old enough to manage them on his own.
How does that work anyway? Does she go in the room alone and decide what her kids have to wear? Or do they tell her what they want to wear and she gets it? Doesn't seem very practical.
Why ask for help if you are going to be the way Paula is. Her house is a disgrace, she needs the help but she thinks there is nothing wrong. Why ask for help in the first place?
Isn't that why hoarding is considered a mental illness? All these people are unhealthy extremes. None of these folks live fulfilling lives because they're controlled by their illness. Wouldn't want this on my worst enemy.
There is an excuse and a pretty big one and it's called Mental health. I have severe mental health problems, I've been hospitalised several times and my last suicide attempt several months ago resulted in me being on life support in intensive care and I was put in a medically induced coma for 3 days. Mental health conditions can be very debilitating. I agree some people can be just pure lazy and dont care but people need to remember that it's not always the case for everyone and dont judge until you know the facts.
I work full time and find time to clean everyday, even if it's just the washing and dishes, because the last thing I want to do is clean all day when I'm off
@@Lauren-xo1pk You're not cleaning 6h every day if you work normal hours. That was Louise's standard of cleanliness, 6h of cleaning every day. Louise clearly doesn't work. Wonder where she gets her income?
@@wwondertwin She also has a husband, who works (I think). Also with 9 children the government stipend she receives for their care should be enough for either getting by fine or comfortable living, if she is budgeting smartly. At least it’s like that in Germany. You get monthly “Kindergeld” (Children Money) for every kid until they are 18. I don’t know if it’s the same in the Uk, though.
Hats off to Louise with 9children her home was immaculate!, The cat trays in the bathroom is way better than them being in the kitchen 🤮 and normally your waiting for your cat to use it so it can be cleaned up shortly after discovery. I own a free roam bunny so I can relate to the guy with the very powerful hoover as I have pulled my carpets up hoovering mine too 🤦🏻♀️😂
My mother did this due to mental illness. It's not fun when you are a child. It's neglect. This programme is nothing compared to what I lived in with my sister. Not only was she dirty, she NEVER threw anything away.
You know I have so much damage to my back... nerve damage, vertebrae damage and herniated discs. I'm in my 70's and my house is absolutely spotless. There's no need for people living in filth. I understand hoarding disorder is a mental illness...but there's no excuse for filth none whatsoever, especially if you're an able bodied person.
I raised 4 sons as a single Mom. I understand Louise need to organize and clean to some extent. I regret wasting so much time cleaning. I did find it much more joyful to leave some of the games and toys out with limits. No LEGOs left on the floor over night! 😂
Louise needs to chill and take more time with their children. I know its hard to keep things clean but from what i see she takes more priority in cleaning .... messes are normal and kids to messes , but they grow and taking time with them is more precious. Of course we need to keep things clean aswell but balancing both would be better.
@@weikean8990 I thought he just looked embarrassed to be on TV, because now everyone in his social circle (and the world) will see that his mom is a little extreme😅
Paula lecturing Louise bout kids starting doing shores from small age but doesn’t that apply to herself as a grown woman?? I understand Louise reaction cause having 9 kids and being able of keeping everything organised and clean, I guess she just can’t understand why someone would allow their house to look like a dumpster
Imagine what Louise's place would look like if she had a job beyond spitting out kids and cleaning up after them. Reckon her place would look like a dumpster too. It's easy to judge when you got nothing else in your life. Even her kids take a back seat to cleaning. I pity her kids, I reckon they'd prefer a mother to a spotless microwave.
Paula was hilarious! Loved this episode! Everyone did a great job, eventually... And I have so much motivation for next week 😙💪 Keep uploading this show forever, please 🙏😁
Oh bless Louise she has forgotten that children need to be allowed to relax at home. I think a midpoint between her style and a Paula’s is the perfect solution for both of them. Tom is adorable he just needs a nice significant other to fuss over instead of his house. Gareth just needs a boot up his behind. That was more than two and half years worth of dirt he is using the redundancy as an excuse.
and Garth telling Tom he needs something more than his flat being clean ... he Gareth is twice the age of Tom, has no one in his life & had been living in a filthy flat littered with garbage ...
The second guy ....he KNOWS that his place is filthy , he isnt stupid , he just cant be bothered . when he was in the kitchen , he sounded like he was just wanting someone else to come in and clean it up . with both of these people their houses would be back in that state within days .
@@indranikarmakar1175yes it is wrong ... like those people who blame individuals who suffer from depression being simply lazy and remind them how easy it is to move... you reinforce how a failure they are and feel... a lot of people can't help but need to covertly put others down
@@MisterGoofy sweetie, depression is a disorder. It’s not an excuse. So moms who have no hands don’t have to feed kids? Victimhood is a big issue in your culture.
Strange with the insuranceadviser's home. Such state would have potential to draw bugs and mice. I think it's partly of being prone to postpone things. He had put jars in a box to have them to recycling but then thebox remains in the house for years. But I like Tom's approach to the task at hand, he had the person who lives reflect on not being able to use the space for what they're intended for. It's a great and respectful way to a person who struggled with depression and not being able to get started.
Honestly Louise isnt any worse than any other cleaner asking questions or feeling grossed out, she came to help and Paula is so defensive, she needs to ease up, Louise didnt make your mess you allowed it, she is kind to help and put up with your defensive bad attitude.
Finally, someone said it. Cause everyone in this comment section liked Paula’s attitude. Yes, Louise may have been a bit harsh, but she came to help Paula. Paula could have been a bit more grateful.
Louise was there to help Paula. She put in a lot of effort to clean and tidy her home. Paula did not even give Louise a hug. She may be sassy and funny yes but also a bit entitled. Gareth is adorable, he's cute and funny...I'm surprised he's single. Im very happy for him.
My favorite thing about this series is the implication that these people just gather up their cleaning supplies in a little tote and walk 200 miles to the shooting location
Louise has got my back up already, saying that she 'can't understand why other people can't do the same (amount of cleaning)' as she does. Some people aren't well enough for a start! My house used to be clean and tidy when my children were young and I had a husband and had to cook and clean for them. But now I'm on my own, and I hardly have the energy to get up some days. I do as much as I can, but some days it's as much as I can do to wash and dress because of chronic fatigue. My house is a mess since I moved last year, and I hate it, but everything takes me so long. But I wouldn't want one of these obsessive cleaners anywhere near me. Louise needs to learn a little compassion.
I watch this and I see the OCD's happy and realized. They're really confident, not sure they need help. They take care of themselves and are sensitive. I like them as they seem are.
Her husband must make a fortune! Bet he’s always at work and never around. She’s had kids to fill in the gap and now she’s finished having them, she cleans.
OMG, that Paula, is so rude, defensive and just in denial. Her house is dirty and cluttered and she has just one child. She keeps deflecting when facts are thrown at her. Just be greatful you have someone that is wiling to help you.
Hats off to Louise for all her effort and persistence as a mom of 9 kids. She has all the right to say things about cleanliness and keeping the house organize. An inspiration to parents.
I agree that Louise was very judgmental, but Paula was just lazy, phlegmatic and sarcastic - that will bring you nowhere in life. If you have a child you are obligated to provide a clean and welcoming home for it - there is no excuse for that! Having several open cat litter boxes distributed everywhere is just a no go with kids around. I also found it incredible that instead of focusing to clean and tidying herself and thereby setting a positive example, she thinks her 4 year old child is old enough to clean up after himself😠
I don't think you should have cats if you don't have time to clean up their litter boxes, those looked disgusting. Cats are very clean animals and some will even refuse to use the litter box if you don't pick up the waste immidiatly, very disrespectful to the cats and unhygienic specially when she has a child who could get to them.
Um, my youngest has just turned 5 and is perfectly capable of clearing up after himself. He puts his dirty clothes in the hamper, his dirty dishes in the dishwasher, and tidies up his toys every night before bed. The state of that house wasn't the kid's fault, but he is old enough to pick up after himself.
To be fair to Louise, although extremely snooty, her house is gorgeous! I absolutely love how she’s decorated it, and fair play to her with 9 kids and keeping it immaculate - I have so much trouble with just the one! Lol! I found Paula to be a bit grating to be honest. It may just be that she was on the defence, but she had such an entitled attitude - Louise did not have to go and take 4 days out of her time to go and help her, she got far more out of it than what Louise did, she full well knew just how bad her house was, that’s why she asked for help.
The chicken people eat spends most of its life wading in its own shit. Your phone screen has more germs than your toilet seat. An animals bowl that gets washed just as thoroughly as everything else is the least of anyone’s worries.
Dogs or cats unless really long haired have no evidence they have just been for a shit. Public toilets make me wonder if people even try to aim and toilet roll is sold by the mega tonne every year. I’ve met countless people with worse body odour and breath than my dog. We are a much filthier species.
i may be boring but i cant imagine better way to relax on friday night, watching this and snacking
Your not boring my love I think that's a great idea ☺️ x

Are you dropping crumbs and leaving marks on the table with your glass? 😅 (And I agree with you!)

Moral of the story: be somewhere in between Louise and Paula.

There’s a massive difference between being untidy and being unhygienic. These houses were filthy and germ infested.

Both extremes are very sad and there’s so much to be said for a happy medium!
Well, this
is not a tragedy, and I know that, because of the music and the light tone of the speaker.
Well. Said. My thoughts exactly.✨💛
To some extent the extra clean house or environment is also a sort of hazard. I'm thinking that the immune system needs a bit of a workout here and there.
But yes, you are right, either lifestyle comes with a lot of emotional baggage and inherent sadness.
@@roibu1160 immune systems are built outside the home ... it wouldn't be a bad thing unless they are housebound or never go out .. if they live normal life's, socialising, working ect but keep a clean home it won't negatively affect them

How many times did we need to be told Louise has 9 kids 😅
Exactly. Shagging and cleaning are her hobbies.
Atleast 9 times
Her TV set got broken 9 times, so she had to find a way to pass the time.
That, and cleaning, are her only personality traits.
She has NINE kids!
Tom is so respectful and pleasant
Something thats not really talked about is how emotionally neglected the children of obsessive cleaners are. Like any addict, their primary relationship is with their addiction, not with the people around them.
I bet as soon as that Louise left her 9 kids that they ran straight to jump on their beds & play hide & seek in the forbidden wardrobe lol
@@dawnmathwin6126 i hope they did that having some fun it would be their little secret that they went into the forbidden wardrobe lol
Discerning difference is they don’t have an “addiction” to cleaning, it’s an obsessive compulsion stemming from anxiety that if they do not perform the rituals - harm will come to themselves and others.
Expresses similarly but the root is completely differently
Same would go for the emotional neglect experienced by children with parents who have ANY mental illness - depression, anxiety, ptsd etc. you wouldn’t say someone is addicted to having being “lazy” stemming from depression. There’s a lot of nuances.
It must be frustrating for the children of hoarders too, you can't even invite a friend over because the house is such a mess all the time.
The boys were lovely together💙💙Gareth is a really nice guy who lost his way. I hope he is doing well.

We never get to see the cameramen, it's most likely they're wearing something like space suits. I'll never understand though how anyone can live among such revolting filth. In most cases it's just a matter of dust and untidiness in a lot of homes which can be tackled quite easily. Here we're talking about the foulest kitchens and toilets which haven't been cleaned in years and are a delightful playground for cockroaches and mice. I can't help thinking that the producers of this programme add extra dirt and rubbish to these houses to make them more shocking than what they are.

You wouldn't die if it was stored right. It just might not be active anymore and thus wouldn't be useful.
Gareth’s right. When my OCD was really out of control I couldn’t have people in my home either. People equates to germs. I stopped inviting people into my home because I was stressed/scared by the ‘germs’ and dirt they would bring into my house. My kids lived a very sheltered stressful life.
My house was immaculate but none of us were happy. Balance is important. You can have a clean home and still allow your home to be ‘lived’ in

Does it really? The mother of 9 is probably neglecting her children in order to clean & disallowing them from being a child.. I hate that they flex with the ‘9 children’, idk what the occupations are of either, but I’m PRETTY sure one of them is a housewife & while that’s respectable, OF COURSE she has time..
I want to know where the father or fathers are 😂

Louise doesn't realise that if you do everything for your child they will never learn
I can guarantee that her children get less done for them than most children from small families. I’m the oldest of six and I know from experience that there’s no way she has time to do everything for them. Especially with her cleaning taking up all the time
our mother did everything ... she was a stay at home mother / housewife so that was her job ... I was a student, a very good one, that was my job & dad went out every day to his job ... when I left home to get my first flat I was able to keep it clean, some memories of what mum did & standard common sense ...
Same goes if nothing is done and the house is a tip the kids don’t know how to do it themselves.
Quick succession breeders often use the older kids to pick up the slack of parenting 🤷 So Louise is probably just good at training humans to do what she wants.
Yep. My cousin was spoiled where he never had to do chores. His father never wanted him to struggle the way he did.
'To be honest it produces more than I can empty it'😂😂😂 Paula is extremely funny
'Take a deep breath, dear'. Classic 😂

@@syasyaishavingfun she's not a child abuser she has a messy house, give your head a wobble! Also if you watch hoarders US you will see horrific conditions that children are living in and CPS don't get involved so climb down off of that high horse.
24:49 lol Gareth is such a nice guy. he has such a positive view on everything. even when tom was constantly telling him how dirty his house is gareth is in such a good mood.
im glad all these hoarders decided to get help. it must be so depressive to see clutter and rubbish piling up day by day but not having time or motivation to clean it. and it must have taken them a lot of courage to ask for help.
It tugged on my heart when tom handed him the vitamins saying "take one of them it would kill you" and Gareth said he's tempted. It might come off as a joke, but with his mentioned depression....bless him
I think it is important to give children responsibility, they are quite capable of making their beds and tidying toys and putting dirty clothes in the wash bin. Doing it all yourself just wears you out and there is less time to enjoy quality time doing family things.
Absolutely spot on! Plus if you don't teach your kids to tidy up after themselves they just grow into trampy people that don't look after themselves or their surroundings/belongings
@@Tasha25681 not true I wasn't tought how to look after myself at all but my house is spotless ! Even with 2 toddlers it's not hard
@@alison2984 hats off to you but I do know I few people who weren't taught and their house is disgusting so 9 times out of 10 it ends up this way when kids aren't taught the basics
I think she likes being a martyr. "Look at everything I used to do for! I had to cook and clean all the time, because there were nine of you!" . Yeah yeah, mum, you could have avoided that.
Training kids to help with chores is really important. But you have to allow them to DO the chores and not expect perfection. I don't know if Louise allows that with her kids
And as I mentioned in another comment, she may have an unpleasant surprise when the kids reach the teen years. Good luck enforcing military cleanliness with teens while still having a good parental relationship with them. Choose your battles.
I feel bad for Gareth...he is so sweet and soft hearted and looks so alone
You can also tell that by how he instantly fell in love with Tom
I understand Gareth completely. Depression is horrible.
My current depressive episode means my house is on the slippery slope. My bathroom is always clean, and I do vacuum and change the cat litter, but I have too much stuff, and I really need to declutter. I'm binge watching these to motivate me!
@@itsacarolbthing5221I know this is like a year old but I hope you’re doing better now🙂
"We found a whole dinner service on the lounge floor" "At least they're not cluttering up the kitchen" Made me laugh out loud!
😂 Yep
Being ocd can really effect family and kids. Louise might think her extreme cleanliness is positive but can you imagine military regimen the family need to endure.
I feel so bad for her kids. I'd reckon they'd much rather have a mother than a spotless microwave. It's not good for the kids to live in a sterile environment, they'll end up getting sick eveeytime they leave the house. But she is happily putting her mental issue over the best interests of her children.
She has own youtube channel named Clean With Louise Plus 10. In one video she shows how her house looks after 48 hours of not cleaning. After that video I understood how difficult it would be for her if she didn´t clean every day.
Military regimen would mean she gives her children autonomy, responsibility and trust. She cleans after them and forbids them from picking out their own clothes... It's all the controlling cons without the actual teaching discipline.
My mum was very "particular" about things, it makes for a miserable childhood. We couldn't even sit on the settee, we had to sit on the floor!
My dad was one of 6 and my grandmother ran that house like my grandfather ran his ship in the Navy. If you don't have order and rules and make your kids clean up when you have a large family it goes to shit very quickly.
Watching people with compulsive cleaning like in this video motivates me to clean my house. I just need 5% of their compulsive cleaning.
Me too. I also need that 5%.
Honestly I need 25% of them.
I used to clean daily. Now only on the weekends, and compulsive sweeping.

Maybe if she is not a child abuser that endenger her child others don't need to make judgemental comments about her.
Paula was simply lazy. Being pregnant isn't an excuse for not cleaning. Having pets and a kid living like that, is abuse. I have 2 dogs and if they have an accident (diarrhea happens), I will smell it in my sleep and wake up and clean it. Even if one doesn't smell it immediately, clean it the next day. I deep clean once a week, but I make sure that my pets and I, have a clean home to live in. My dogs go on my bed, so the bedding is changed 3 times a week,even if I wash their paws every time they go outside.
@@mirikira8632 you’re simply closed minded and think everyone thinks like you. You don’t know what other people deal with.
@@Sillygirl2315 I have health issues and was disabled for quite some time, still kept on top of my cleaning even if I was in excruciating pain, every single day. I understand stuff can happen, but I also understand that when one has an illness, any type of illness, it can definitely be exacerbated by clutter and dirt. I have 2 autoimmune conditions and if I lived like a pig, my conditions would definitely worsen. Paula didn't seem to think it was a big deal that she had pets and a child living in those conditions and that is definitely abuse, to force someone to live in such a home. Her child can't clean for himself and the cats don't either. The cats vomited and pooped everywhere, because the whole house was like a bathroom to them. If you have a child and pets, this is not how you cherish having them in your life. This is not the way to show someone you love them. I'd never do this to my dogs,because I love and appreciate them way too much and I know that they enjoy being clean and living in a clean environment.
@@Sillygirl2315 I'm not a slob and I definitely would abuse my dogs or a child, like that. No way.
When does Louise spend time with her children. When they grow up possible the only thing they will remember of her was she was only interested in cleaning.
Louise is just rude, she didn't have to say things like that, we know she has 9 children and an immaculate house, but she is still OCD, so her immaculate house should cost a lot from her and her children in terms of peace.
Agree, she didnt need to say it like that. Just help her clean instead
Very rude. And sanctimonious... her house is NOT a home... it's a show house, I bet the kids are terrified of getting a speck of dirt, or untidiness anywhere. Do they wear gloves to play in???
I can’t imagine how unhappy her children must be. She’s clean, very clean but that doesn’t mean she’s happy or a good mum.

Not true. My kids had a childhood and I did most stuff but they are adults now. They have jobs, can cook, bake and clean and shop and are all independent.Oh and I only have 2 grandchildren.

“My dining room has become a suppository” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I nearly choked on my tea ☕️

I would never "eat off" those cleaned floors simply because I wouldn't want to ingest all those chemicals that were used to clean them.
The first thing dirty people should do is get rid of the carpets
Paula asked some very telling questions about allowing children to do age appropriate chores, hanging up clothing, making their own beds, packing away their toys etc.. Mom is extremely proud of doing it ALL. Her absolute belief that they will do the same amount of cleaning when they leave home is so misplaced as to be delusional. And she won't be visiting their homes or lodgings??? Mom has an equally if not more serious disorder than Paula!

Always great seeing people from both ends of the spectrum and extreme coming together. You know automatically that they'll be a clash of interests and outlooks. Needless to say both parties appear to reflect on their own behaviour and hopefully they'll learn from this experience. Easy to be critical of others when you don't really know the dilemmas people themselves are going through. I perfectly understand the woman with nine children having a daily cleaning routine. For anyone with one child it's enough determination to make more of a conscious effort to clean. Having nine children all you would really have time for is cleaning, washing and ironing. Her children certainly looked happy and healthy enough.
Louis vs paulo was epic. They need their own spin off 😂😂😂
Imagine that this woman is blaming her 4 yr old as the reason for the house so filthy.. wow! Really? I think the producers deliberately found a woman with lots of kids who's in charge of her business to show up how delusional the situation is.
Exactly. She's lazy and nasty and has nothing but excuse after exuse.
she’s not blaming her son, she said she herself lost control of the house. she was too caught up with looking after her newborn to realise her house was turning into a dump.
Why even birth a child at 40… just guaranteed problems. That poor kid…
Not everyone needs to be a parent…
and that floffy cat 18:43 needs some good brushing, a quick wash and most likely get its paws trimmed
I love Louise and Paula 😂,, they learn something from each other
Louise having all her kids' clothes in one room that they're not allowed in doesn't make sense. The older ones can't dress themselves without her permission because they need her to get the clothes for them. So stupid. Makes way more sense for their clothes to be in their cupboards in their rooms and then you have 1 extra room to use which, with 9 kids, you could definitely use.
I thought it was actually quite a smart idea. If she had put every of her kids’ clothes into their room, she would have to sort them anyway, and buy new wardrobes to store them in, which would mean less space in the kids play area, so having everything in one spot is less work and easier to organize. Many of the kids probably have the same size, so she probably has their clothes sorted by size, and they share them, until they get bigger and can fit into their siblings clothes. It’s not quite logical for the teenager’s clothes, though. I agree with you there. He’s old enough to manage them on his own.
How does that work anyway? Does she go in the room alone and decide what her kids have to wear? Or do they tell her what they want to wear and she gets it? Doesn't seem very practical.
I have 10 siblings, she has a great ideas :)
A great idea for small children but not fair on the older ones.
Its a fabulous idea for kids at the five-outfits-per-day stage. A bad idea at older ages.

Why ask for help if you are going to be the way Paula is. Her house is a disgrace, she needs the help but she thinks there is nothing wrong. Why ask for help in the first place?
I was thinking the same thing
Isn't that why hoarding is considered a mental illness? All these people are unhealthy extremes. None of these folks live fulfilling lives because they're controlled by their illness. Wouldn't want this on my worst enemy.
I disagree, Louise was on the attack..as Paula said at the start..its not WHAT she (Louise) said but the way she said it.😮
Yes and cat poo is so dangerous because of the diseases 😮
how does a mother can avoid cleaning three years when havign a child at home. its bizzare
Neglect and mental illness.
Neglect. Being incapable.

I find it hilarious that the filthy people have the nerve to call the clean people obsessive. If rather be clean than filthy and in denial.
All those chemicals cannot be goid for them
There is an excuse and a pretty big one and it's called Mental health. I have severe mental health problems, I've been hospitalised several times and my last suicide attempt several months ago resulted in me being on life support in intensive care and I was put in a medically induced coma for 3 days. Mental health conditions can be very debilitating.

@@wwondertwin She also has a husband, who works (I think). Also with 9 children the government stipend she receives for their care should be enough for either getting by fine or comfortable living, if she is budgeting smartly. At least it’s like that in Germany. You get monthly “Kindergeld” (Children Money) for every kid until they are 18. I don’t know if it’s the same in the Uk, though.
These people do know that professional cleaners exist, right?
Hats off to Louise with 9children her home was immaculate!, The cat trays in the bathroom is way better than them being in the kitchen 🤮 and normally your waiting for your cat to use it so it can be cleaned up shortly after discovery.

AGREE
My mother did this due to mental illness. It's not fun when you are a child. It's neglect. This programme is nothing compared to what I lived in with my sister. Not only was she dirty, she NEVER threw anything away.
You know I have so much damage to my back... nerve damage, vertebrae damage and herniated discs. I'm in my 70's and my house is absolutely spotless. There's no need for people living in filth. I understand hoarding disorder is a mental illness...but there's no excuse for filth none whatsoever, especially if you're an able bodied person.
I raised 4 sons as a single Mom. I understand Louise need to organize and clean to some extent. I regret wasting so much time cleaning. I did find it much more joyful to leave some of the games and toys out with limits. No LEGOs left on the floor over night! 😂
Louise needs to chill and take more time with their children. I know its hard to keep things clean but from what i see she takes more priority in cleaning .... messes are normal and kids to messes , but they grow and taking time with them is more precious. Of course we need to keep things clean aswell but balancing both would be better.
Did u notice the look in her oldest son? Hopefully he is not stressed to be his mom's big helper😑

Imagine what Louise's place would look like if she had a job beyond spitting out kids and cleaning up after them. Reckon her place would look like a dumpster too.
It's easy to judge when you got nothing else in your life. Even her kids take a back seat to cleaning. I pity her kids, I reckon they'd prefer a mother to a spotless microwave.

Strange with the insuranceadviser's home. Such state would have potential to draw bugs and mice.
I think it's partly of being prone to postpone things. He had put jars in a box to have them to recycling but then thebox remains in the house for years.
But I like Tom's approach to the task at hand, he had the person who lives reflect on not being able to use the space for what they're intended for. It's a great and respectful way to a person who struggled with depression and not being able to get started.
Honestly Louise isnt any worse than any other cleaner asking questions or feeling grossed out, she came to help and Paula is so defensive, she needs to ease up, Louise didnt make your mess you allowed it, she is kind to help and put up with your defensive bad attitude.

Louise was there to help Paula. She put in a lot of effort to clean and tidy her home. Paula did not even give Louise a hug. She may be sassy and funny yes but also a bit entitled.
Gareth is adorable, he's cute and funny...I'm surprised he's single. Im very happy for him.
I'd not have given Louise a hug either, she was well nasty.
Some people don’t like giving hugs especially to people they hardly know.
My favorite thing about this series is the implication that these people just gather up their cleaning supplies in a little tote and walk 200 miles to the shooting location
Louise has got my back up already, saying that she 'can't understand why other people can't do the same (amount of cleaning)' as she does. Some people aren't well enough for a start! My house used to be clean and tidy when my children were young and I had a husband and had to cook and clean for them. But now I'm on my own, and I hardly have the energy to get up some days. I do as much as I can, but some days it's as much as I can do to wash and dress because of chronic fatigue. My house is a mess since I moved last year, and I hate it, but everything takes me so long. But I wouldn't want one of these obsessive cleaners anywhere near me. Louise needs to learn a little compassion.
She isn't talking about sick people. Don't take it personally.
Oh I can use a little of this cleaning OCD for just a week!!! Can’t imagine.
I watch this and I see the OCD's happy and realized. They're really confident, not sure they need help. They take care of themselves and are sensitive. I like them as they seem are.
Her husband must make a fortune! Bet he’s always at work and never around. She’s had kids to fill in the gap and now she’s finished having them, she cleans.
A litter tray in a bathroom and she’s freaking out, surely that makes the most sense 🤦🏻
"oh my goodness you have little boxes in the loo". well where do you think they should be kept, under the kitchen table?
Tom is a gem💎
OMG, that Paula, is so rude, defensive and just in denial. Her house is dirty and cluttered and she has just one child. She keeps deflecting when facts are thrown at her. Just be greatful you have someone that is wiling to help you.
Hats off to Louise for all her effort and persistence as a mom of 9 kids. She has all the right to say things about cleanliness and keeping the house organize. An inspiration to parents.
But she doesn’t need to be rude about it
I agree that Louise was very judgmental, but Paula was just lazy, phlegmatic and sarcastic - that will bring you nowhere in life. If you have a child you are obligated to provide a clean and welcoming home for it - there is no excuse for that! Having several open cat litter boxes distributed everywhere is just a no go with kids around. I also found it incredible that instead of focusing to clean and tidying herself and thereby setting a positive example, she thinks her 4 year old child is old enough to clean up after himself😠
I don't think you should have cats if you don't have time to clean up their litter boxes, those looked disgusting. Cats are very clean animals and some will even refuse to use the litter box if you don't pick up the waste immidiatly, very disrespectful to the cats and unhygienic specially when she has a child who could get to them.
Um, my youngest has just turned 5 and is perfectly capable of clearing up after himself. He puts his dirty clothes in the hamper, his dirty dishes in the dishwasher, and tidies up his toys every night before bed. The state of that house wasn't the kid's fault, but he is old enough to pick up after himself.
@Latte Extra i agree - but only if the mother sets the good example. Kids that are so young learn by what they see rather by what they are said to do
To be fair to Louise, although extremely snooty, her house is gorgeous! I absolutely love how she’s decorated it, and fair play to her with 9 kids and keeping it immaculate - I have so much trouble with just the one! Lol!
I found Paula to be a bit grating to be honest. It may just be that she was on the defence, but she had such an entitled attitude - Louise did not have to go and take 4 days out of her time to go and help her, she got far more out of it than what Louise did, she full well knew just how bad her house was, that’s why she asked for help.
Paula seems like a bit of a narcissist. Her home was a mess. Own it woman, and be thankful for the help.
@@sammyjay777 I agree. I’d be glad of the help! Lol!
Is it bad that I'm surprised the hoarders look clean? Makes you think those you work with have a secret hoarding problem but you would never know!
That definitely happens
Thankyou, someone who is grossed out with putting animal bowls in the dishwasher with your plates
The chicken people eat spends most of its life wading in its own shit. Your phone screen has more germs than your toilet seat. An animals bowl that gets washed just as thoroughly as everything else is the least of anyone’s worries.
Dogs or cats unless really long haired have no evidence they have just been for a shit. Public toilets make me wonder if people even try to aim and toilet roll is sold by the mega tonne every year. I’ve met countless people with worse body odour and breath than my dog. We are a much filthier species.
