it amazes me how they have no idea of half of what they have, but it seems to be so damn important when someone gets rid of it.

It takes a lot of courage to ask for help and expose your vulnerabilities. Not everyone can do it. Good job to these people.

The fact that Nigel's home was cleaned in 2011 and now it is hoarded again, the mental part of it is still there. Seems like Nigel needs on going counseling to keep him from hoarding.

Nigel’s crocheting is beautiful

That gentleman working with Janice is really supportive and patient and kind. Hats off to him. She would have frustrated me to no end. He's in the right profession 😊.

Nigel seems like the absolute sweetest man. I hope he is doing well.

George is a saint. I wish I had even a little bit of his patience. He handled Janice like a pro.

I hoard stuff in boxes and put them in the attic. So my house looks nice and clear, but I still have so much stuff I can't seem to get rid of. Also with the thought: I can re-use that. Carton boxes, plastics, old clothing, broken jewelry and such. I think it is from back when I was young and we barely had any money. We had to reuse or repurpose everything. Now I have more money and can buy things new, but still keep the old and/or broken stuff. It is a habit that needs to be broken, cause I know I have money to buy things new, and I know I can't repurpose everything. But knowing it and acting on it are extremely difficult. Seeing these episodes do help me feel better about myself and motivate me to just try to gather up one more box to throw to the trash or secondhand store. Step by step.

Proud of them all for recognising this reality and making an effort to. Most people struggle with something in their life

Nigel's kitty cat is so adorable ❤❤

When my mother's dementia worsened, she would walk around the neighborhood and pick up those large plastic toys for children and put them in her backyard. Her grandchildren are grown and there was no need for these toys. Who knows what was going through her mind. When I had to move her in with me, my adult son and his friends cleared out my mother's house. There was forty plus years of things that she cherished but she had forgotten about everything. My son kept the most important items and took the rest of it to the curb. All those years my mom worked her butt off and collected stuff only for it to all go to the curb. At least my mom couldn't remember any of it. She got to the point where she forgot everything including the house she had lived in for over forty years. She passed quietly in 2015. I took care of my mother for nearly seven years with no help at all from my siblings. I will never forgive them nor forget. Not that they have asked for forgiveness. I'll tell you something however, I believe what goes around comes around and two of my siblings died from cancer and one died from Alzheimer's. They suffered for quite a while too.

Oh, i remember Nigels first case!! It was so much worse back then, but his emotional response now is much more depressed... sad

i love that hoaders UK version and USA version are both employed by genuinely kind people. usually the USA version of anything is much more dramatic/anger based for views.

Wow so nice they connected them together! They should start a horders club and let them plan regular visits of each other so they have someone to speak to and reasons to keep home presentable.

Janice needs to go volunteer somewhere like salvation army and fill her day with something else instead of shopping

Janice could (instead of buying clothes for herself) be added to a list of clothing aids that buy clothes for people in need (get a list of the size and gender and item need) and still go out to buy the clothes for the children or adults in need, ship them for free (on the clothing aid organization) to the people.

The American Hoarders show offers aftercare & a present psychologist. For many ppl that’s so important.

I have learned a lot by watching these type of shows, about why I save things, and Why I have a hard time throwing some things away. 👍🏼

All 3 homes looked lovely when they were done. Hoarding is a mental health issue, but Janice does not want to understand that yet. I hope she can come to terms with it so she can get the help of a good therapist. There is no need to judge these people. No one is perfect and we all deserve compassion and unconditional love.

One aspect I’ve not seen addressed in these hoarding shows is fear of emptiness. Perhaps to many a clean cleared area with a table and chairs looks fabulous, but if we consider that objects were comfortIng it might make more sense to help the hoarder decorate and make the spaces cozy with beloved items that provide joy. To go from being a hoarder to a minimalist doesn’t fulfill emotional needs for comfort, warmth and beauty.

Govt should take steps to keep such people together so that they don't reach this stage So that they don't feel lonely & have people to talk to Spend time together

I love all of youv❤❤❤ bless you all cleaners and those who are struggling, I have been on both sides it's never easy either way so to all of you hold your heads up high and smile 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

He definitely needs some counseling and some deep internal work to prevent this cycle from happening over and over. I think he should have to do some of the work to help him understand The physical tool on people cleaning it for him.

Yeah, new year - new clutter and filth! :D Perfect time for cleaning motivation!

I just love seeing the positive changes for these dear souls 🫶🙏🥀🥰

Oooh they better not mess with that fabric stash! All it needs is to to be sorted & a dedicated craft room. He actively works on quilts & whatnot so he does use them. I totally get that bit cos I have a lot of craft items that do get messy with me pulling them out for a project. He has a lot of filth & nonsense to be got rid of though.

Cleaning out my parents and in-laws’ homes upon their deaths was very stressful. Thankfully none of them were hoarders but it was still a massive undertaking. It’s just stuff and nobody is going to love it like you did when you are gone. I am a minimalist and my husband can be a keeper. I get on him about holding onto to too many things.

I have several hobbies too and when I get into a project it's hard for me to break away and clean. Especially when I am working on a painting. It's difficult to stop, go do something like clean or cook then return to where I left off on the canvas. It's bad enough when I have to stop and let my dogs outside but of course I do. They come before anything. I totally understand Nigel's dilemma but I am not a hoarder so that's the difference. He lost his partner and spiraled into a downward depression. I remember years ago when my second husband wanted a divorce. I was devastated and very depressed. I didn't want to do anything at all but I ended up staying with my mother and I wanted to die. She was such a bossy bitch and had the nerve to say to me, "Why can't you just get over it?" Well I DID get over it but it took about a year. A couple of years after that I happened to see some photos of my ex online and laughed my butt off. He was fat and bald. Not the man I married and I am very glad I got over him. If I had seen those photos earlier I would have gotten over him quicker!!!

Nigel' s is not trash but remnants oh his hobbies and work. There IS a difference!!

Poor lady. She will have a terrible time to let things go. Sending prayers

You would not believe how little one needs - these dust gatherers are the typical ship sinking materials to take a person much earlier to his / her grave.

I recognized Nigel and I remember when this guy came in and cleaned his place. He could only get two rooms. Nigel did not want to let go of Harley anything. So they put the rest of the stuff into one room. The two rooms that the guy cleaned, were beautiful. He did a beautiful job on those two rooms. It’s too bad that he’s junk again. He’s so particular about his things but yet he throws everything around. It seem like everything had an extremely special meaning to it and he had a huge attachment to these things. That frustrated the cleaner, but he worked with Nigel and the results were amazing. It’s too bad that didn’t stay with Nigel. Anyway, I guess he just likes to live in rubbish.

Janice has the cutest little smile😊

Ive seen Nigel 3 different times on these type of shows. One was The Hoarder Next Door and the 2011 show they mentioned and this one. Hope he's doing better, he creates beautiful things from the stuff he's got laying around

so sad for the cleaners: they're doing it, knowing that in 4 months it will be even more hoarded...

I understand hoarding....but....it,s the FILTH i don,t understand!!!

Janice might be lonely, but it’s still a reflection of their state of mind. Janice is probably the worse, because she’s in denial about her mental illness. They all need therapy or it will continue to happen.

I'm watching this after just having a huge garage sale, and giving away some things on our local freebies page. I definitely have hoarder tendencies, but it is feeling really good to give things away to folks who want/need them.

BEAUTIFUL JOB guy's ❤❤

A mental health accessment is essential to determine the reasons for hoarding ..🤔

The end was very touching.

Homeless people on the streets would give anything for a roof meanwhile people with hoarding disorder occupying homes allow them to get damaged and useless by filling them with rubbish, OK it is not deliberate and these people need help but seriously why is she allowed to stay there in that mess? Those cleaners are wonderful people

VERY BRAVE GUYS WELL DONE👍❤

If the money isn't the issue, but the space in your home is an issue, I suppose you could always go shopping for food banks and stuff like that instead. You still get the hobby, shopping, and the social interaction without overstuffing your home.

Thank you so much for your.

ФАНТАСТИКА, ВОТ МОЛОДЦЫ РЕБЯТА, КАК УМЕЮТ РАБОТАТЬ.😃👍💯

Don’t blame it on your losses. Everybody on this planet has had more than their share of losses and they don’t all do what you did. And that place actually looks more dirty than hoarded. You have to clean. I have a lot of stuff in my house at one time, but it was all in boxes, but I still had a clear kitchen, clear, bathroom, clear, bed, and bedroom. And I lost my parents, and it really kicked my rear end. But eventually, you have to pick yourself up and get moving. And then you have to think these people that died in your life if they don’t want to see you live like this. You just like punishing yourself. Why do you want to live in rubbish? I have animals and I don’t want them to live in a dirty place.

Very frustrating for thé cleaners .

Poor cat

Nice video

I agree with her it is stemming from loneliness

Near Chicago, USA. I've been in wealthy areas where people fill their homes and yards with junk and filth. These people are poor. The illness is the same. Tina, Al's wife

Everyone here should definitely be Proud, of themselves!

Esther was out scavenging while the cleaners were at work, so that's going to fill up again. No friends Nigel may have a chance. If he gets people in to visit as I think I needs the company of others. I liked him & I want that nice cat. That other bird is a full on hoarder that probably kept all her nonsense.

That is great idea they need see each others places

In response to 1955. AMEN TO THAT! There is a difference between stuff that could be useful to someone and worthless trash NO ONE has any use for. This includes dirt, filth, crud and garbage. 😮

"As a Kenyan we tend to be very house proud..." Welllll.....😅😅😅

Vraag me af; is het nog wel veilig als er asbest in het plafond zit, en er een gat in zit?

You need to remove the hoarder from the situation and get her the help she so desperately needs. While she’s away, the home is cleared out and repaired. She returns to daily supervision and continued care. No more credit cards or bank accounts. Esther is unable to manage her disorder. This is what happened to my hoarder neighbor. His family intervened and spent their own money to clean up the horrid mess he had created. He did not enjoy the privilege of having any say in the cleanup. He didn’t have a penny to his name, just a huge credit card debt for his siblings to pay. He’s home now and living in a completely remodeled space, with a weekly housekeeper and daily visits by a kind neighbor who buys his food, supervises the care of his two cats, and does his simple laundry. He has no ability to spend his way back into a hoarded house. His car is gone, so he cannot shop in brick and mortar stores. Brutal, but absolutely necessary.

I don't think I'll ever understand. If they have so much time and money to shop everyday, maybe they could volunteer their time and do donations to help

I am a recovering alcoholic (19 years sober). I know what hoarders are going through. If I have one more drink, I'm going to stop tomorrow. If I get one more piece of (whatever) I'm going to stop hoarding tomorrow. AA did it for me. Drunks talking to drunks. Hoarders talking to hoarders.

I have seen messy black homes but not a hoarder. That was my fisrt.

You can pack stuff in suitcases. I would not get rid of my suitcases either. I use them when I travel also. I travel with my car. I have suitcases and they’re awesome.

Good god, I am a hoarder too!

People don´t realize when you acquire things you don´t just own those things, the things take an ownership over you. These hoarders partly can´t give up anything, because they have invested too much to those things : money, their time. If there is something of resale value, they will never get back what they have originally paid for the stuff. So what can you do? Don´t buy. Easier said than done. Acquiring new things gives us distraction and people tend to medicate themselves by buying. Buying things is too rewarding and easy. For lonely people it is also a way socialize with others, reason to go out and about. Buying things gives people also importance, feeling of power and control.

Love Janet's bedspread

This is NOTHING like our “Hoarders” in the states. LOL….

Just like alcoholics benefit from going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings to find support from others in the same situation, I feel like hoarders would benefit from a Hoarders Anonymous. Most say they buy to fill the loneliness and there's a lack of support. Meetings would go a long way to prevent that. Members could be asked to bring 5 items with them to meetings. There's potential to help.

Я не собиратель хлама, но я очень их понимаю, почему они негодуют, когда кто-то начинает выкидывать их вещи. Я ненавижу, когда кто-то выкидывает мои (мама, например, которая считает, что лучше меня знает, что мне нужно). Она же начала потихоньку разгребать свой "хлам", так пусть продолжает, нужно только это мягко контролировать, помогать избавляться от огромных пакетов, что-то, может быть, продать или отдать тому, кому это будет нужно. А вот так приехать на машине, покидать в кузов половину её имущества (а именно так она воспринимает эти горы вещей) и вывезти на помойку - кто-нибудь, поступите с этими уборщиками так же, придите к ним домой, выкиньте их вещи, которые, на ВАШ взгляд (не их!) им не нужны! Вообще, что-то не так с отношением к этим людям, с настойчивым желанием общества избавить их от лишних вещей. Пожары, потопы? У чистоплюев тоже бывают пожары и потопы. Им эти вещи мешают? Они говорят, что нет. Есть большая разница между этими людьми, собирающими хорошие новые вещи, и полоумными бабками и дедками, забивающими своё жильё (особенно в многоквартирном доме) гнилью с помойки и кошками. Этим нужно просто помогать находить вещам применение, и тогда хомякоз не перейдёт в злокачественный. Имхо.

The people who are living alone & hoarding , should start living together so that they keep their surroundings clean & have people to talk to So that they don't reach this stage & hoard

Do those people get aftercare?

Так и остался ужасный ужас

Cute kitty cat Nigel.

She has not been the only person, attached to this!

Its interesting to see hoarders meeting each other. And British hoarders aren't as confrontational as the Americans.

On a COMPLETELY unrelated note, Esther is beautiful; her glasses hide how pretty she is.

There are so many people who see perhaps a broken table, clothes airier or tins of paint in a garden or even stuff in a skip, they all think its free BUT in fact even though its thrown out It still belongs to someone, even rubbish in a skip it still belongs to the person who put it in the skip until the skip is driven away then the rubbish belongs to the skip company. I always ask for permission to take any stuff away unless I am sure no one owns it like stuff on the pavement or road. Do people know that if they sort through fly tipped stuff you have a likelihood of being accused of dumping the stuff!!!

The hoarding of physical items is one thing. Filth is another. This is disgusting.

it seems like these people never see how others around the world can live and survive on so little - you truly need just the basic things, you don't need all that extra stuff that you think you might need some day, they could have donated money to people in real need instead of hoarding and trashing their house, all those things still turned to rubbish, wasted money

Why is it called hoarding ? Just plain nastiness to me. I could understand better if it was about keeping real items , but dead animals, molded nasty food , trash, ? No, lazy & nasty.

Why 3 days?

I don't understand how people can be this foul.

nigel is abusing that poor cat

That-first-woman....she-basically-destroyed-that-house.---Her-landlord-should-have-evicted-her-even-once-it-was-cleaned-up.---He'd-have-to-spend-thousands-of-dollars..(I'm-American)..just-to-get-the-place-back-to-a-livable-condition!

If they have such a feeling they shud not hoard to being with. They can use that money for a rainy day and some money can be used to pay people to clean their house twice or thrice a week.

КАК МОЖНО ПЕРЕВЕСТИ НА РУССКИЙ ЯЗЫК

This is NOT an illness. It's simply laziness.

Trash ANF filth is not hoarding. It is laziness and the refusal to keep the house clean. You might need trash??? My mom and dad passed 43 days apart, I lost a nephew from sudden, unexpected death at 33 and my oldest sister in a very short span of time but I still cleaned my house ANF took the garbage out rather than throw it on the floor and walk on it!!

I couldn't understand a word Esther would say so I enabled subtitles. You'd think she had learned to speak with an English accent or at least in a coherent way.

Mostly public housing tenants do that

Calling your channel “Filth,” is cruel and shaming of people with mental health issues. Shame on you

Lazy,lazy,lazy
