I saw a great technique for soaking excessive amounts of dishes on Get It Done With Gabby's KZfaq channel. She filled several Rubbermaid totes with soapy water and put the dirty dishes in to soak while she was cleaning the rest of the kitchen.

I'm going to address a few concerns in this pinned comment. Firstly, even though I did in this video, you should NEVER MIX OVEN CLEANER with any other cleaner. I wasn't really thinking anything of it when I did it here because I was just "adding a little extra degreasing power" in my mind and though everything turned out fine (great, actually, as this was the easiest oven cleaning I have ever done), I shouldn't recommend you do it. I haven't found anything specifically regarding mixing oven cleaner and Super Clean, but several articles about just not mixing oven cleaner with anything else. So, I hope that clears that up! Regarding the safety of the children: I promise you, despite the mess you see, they are well taken care of. I spent four days there and witnessed the interaction between mom and kids. She is a very loving and caring mother who is just simply overwhelmed, but obviously loves her children and was very aware of their needs. Please understand that there are other factors here that I won't delve into that add to the stress of parenting, but she handles it all remarkably well given her circumstances. They all just needed a little help to get things back under control. As for the cliffhanger I left about my son and the swallowed bullet...he hasn't "fired" anything out yet. 😂 We took him in for another x-ray on Saturday and it had moved along to the upper GI tract. We will take him in for another x-ray today to see what's happening, make sure it's not getting hung up anywhere. There is a small possibility, if it gets stuck, they will have to do a colonoscopy or surgery to remove it. Praying that doesn't happen, but thankful for doctors and nurses who are able to handle the situation if that does become the situation. He also wants me to make sure everyone knows it was accidental, not on purpose. He is a fidgeter and just have the end of it in his mouth while he was watching something and somehow inhaled wrong or something to where it went into his throat and his gag reflex, rather than making him cough it out, sort of sucked it down instead. Crazy! My sister says he's like Chuck Norris -- he eats bullets for breakfast! Lastly, regarding the 70 hours I am working each week and the concern about that -- that 70 hours (sometimes around 60) INCLUDES the free cleaning I do each week. I'm also including the time I spend editing videos which takes an enormous amount of time, way longer than I ever imagined, but I'm starting to get faster. It also includes my medical transcription job (about 6-8 hours each week), my medical coding job (about 15-25 hours each week), and a couple of paid cleaning jobs that I do each week for some friends. This is all due to losing my medical transcription business (except one doctor) a few months ago because of speech recognition technology. I laid off several employees and had to find something else to do, which is when I started this channel, but also had to take a job doing the coding to make ends meet until I could get this channel to the point where it would sustain itself. So, I know it's temporary, which is a relief because I would burn out really quick if I kept this up. So, THANK YOU EVERYONE for supporting my channel!! It means so much to me! I thrive when I'm helping people and you are making that possible!!❤🧡💛

No judgment here. It's easy for parents with very young children to get overwhelmed with housekeeping. The best part is that they recognized that they needed help and contacted you. Even better that the mom was asking lots of questions and pitching in with the cleaning. Having a clean, organized home does wonders for good mental health. I'm so happy that they are taking steps to make positive changes. Thank you for making a difference for this family!!! 🥰

The fact that she cleaned the blinds is very encouraging. I hate doing them myself because they can be cumbersome and time consuming. She did a great job. Hopefully she'll get that boost she needs to continue the process..

One thing I have learned over the years in keeping a clean house is you keep things put away in cub-bards and closets . Throw away all trash and do laundry every day. Make sure all the drawers and doors are closed and things appear tidy and you feel better about yourself. We all need help sometimes so never feel bad about needing help.

Adhd alone. You start off with the best of intentions, but the distractions later make it worse. You did great and so did she on those blinds.

I sat in on the MMC live videos too. Yes, I agree - I'd love to see Auri clean an American hoarder house and see how she tackles it. I am also so envious of the European style of drains in the bathroom floor - so much easier to wash all the grime away! I love the cleaning channels that help people for free - so much kindness!! MMC, Auri, Clean with Barbie, and now A Beautiful Mess (just discovered you and subscribed 😉)!!

The mom did a great job by calling you. Nobody is perfect as mother and father ,somtime in our life we need some help .it is not good to judge ,because we can be in that situation one day when you need mental health.thank you for helping this family !!

What a great thing to see the home owner In working with you! I’m impressed she wants to be involved and learn because cleaning IS a learned skill!

I just want to say how amazing this homeowner is to allow you to come into her house. She took a courageous step & I hope your help was a jumping off point for her to feel more in control of things! Also, You must be a very special, caring person to engender this kind of trust. :-)

I love how the kitchen turned out! It is so cute! I'll bet the homeowner is excited to cook in there again. No judgement. Everyone has hard times and it takes a strong person to ask for help. Blessings to you all!

Bless your heart for helping this family❤. I think people get overwhelmed and instead of taking small steps, they give up because they don’t know where to start. I’m so glad that the mom humbled herself to take the first step in asking for your help, that is huge on her part. You are awesome at what you do and always are compassionate and nonjudgmental…that is priceless!

I ALWAYS prefer cleaning sounds over music. Sooooo satisfying 😌

I’m also jealous of those bathrooms with the sprayers we need them in America

I feel bad for the children that have to endure this home . Hopefully the parents continue to get and accept help and resources

What an amazing transformation! 🎉 I dealt with uncontrollable depression for several years so I know firsthand just how hard it can be to keep up with everything while struggling with mental illness. So glad you were able to help this family get a fresh start on the cleaning ❤

Thanks! I hope you are able to continue on with your channel. There can never be enough helpers in this world.

Totally awesome, Bonnie! I have a request: would you please show us the clean dishes put away in the cupboard and the silverware in the drawer at the end? Would appreciate it. 🙂

Wow. You are making a wonderful difference for this family. Your help will give them a good re-set.

I love the color of her appliances also. You did a great job on the kitchen. Kudos to this Mom for getting into the spirit. Blinds are always a challenge. She did a great job. I know this family appreciates the help you gave them.❤

Oh my goodness! These people definitely need your help! I watch quite a few cleaners and think you are amazing, dealing with the laundry and going through just about everything. I enjoy this type of video where you jump start them back into some sort of order in their lives while respecting their privacy. I had to retire to get caught up myself, lol.

That looks amazing. It is so overwhelming when things get out of control like that. Looking at it from an objective viewpoint, its easy to make a list and compartmentalize and go okay, 1. Pick up all the clothes and get the laundry started, 2. Start a load of dishes, 3. Pick up all the trash you can find. But when you are living in the middle of it and every surface is covered and nothing has a home, it will make your head spin. Also, some people were just never taught how to clean and its an ongoing process to come into contact with people like you who can offer helpful strategies. This turned out really well and I'll bet they are thrilled.

It’s easy for people to sit at home behind a screen and judge what they know absolutely nothing about. God bless you for helping these people and god bless them for asking for help.

I put a sheet of aluminum foil in the bottom of my oven under that heating element. If something boils over, just put out the foil. Great job!

Thanks!

Ugh, I hear ya with the drains in the bathrooms. I want it myself. It’s gotta be so easy to clean. 😊

As an ADD person I know knowledge of how to do something has to be TAUGHT. Never assume!!! It makes all the difference in doing and coping

Great job! She has some really nice appliances! So good of you to help this family!

I can only imagine the relief this family must feel after this. You are so kind to do this for them.

I love that you do laundry. Who wants to attach a pile like that. These folks are fortunate to have you teach and help them

What an amazing transformation! I am sure the homeowners were more than thankful, relieved, blessed and even motivated.😊

The color of those appliances is my favorite color! It would make me happy to go into the kitchen with those!

You’re an angel for helping this family 🙏🏾

Thank you for showing God's love to this family by serving them and cleaning their home!!❤

The fact the mom is helping in the process is a great sign. Mental health n financial stress together r hard enough throw in kids n its a disaster. Good for them for realizing they needed help before this got worse, because comparitively its not that bad yet. Wishing the family a better future proud of u for asking for help n putting ur kids ahead of ur pride

god bless you for helping these familys love watching you

That is a huge sorting and cleaning project. My respect. You did a great job. I hope this family go healthy with your help❤

From the bottom of my heart, I want to say: THANK YOU for not using the “perfect life Instagram voice” for the entire video ❤❤❤

Love the extra long video. Amazing job !

Bless you for doing this. I had a friend with depression who was not really able to clean his apt. I offered to help, but it needed a deep clean. The next time I visited, he had cleaed it up pretty good with help from his brother. I just remember I cried a little driving home that day feeling sad he had to live like that. I did buy him a new coffee maker so he could enjoy a nice cup. 🙂

Don't ever feel bad for asking for help people 😊

Wow!! What an amazing job !!!!! You are such a blessing to so many families!!! I love how you help others!!!

I’m in love with the beautiful colors of the small appliances too. As far as those comments that are less than kind, I wish you would just block them. You’re doing a wonderful service for people.

Loooovvveee how this turned out! The oven scraping and counter scrubbing were the best parts :)

You did a fantastic job, and, I know the struggle this hoke owner is feeling. I am struggling with depression myself and trying to pack to move and some days I just want to stay in bed and hide from the entire world. The struggle is definitely real.

I love the idea of having a drain in the floor in the shower rooms in Finland, genius idea

This was fantastic! I really enjoy being able to watch you work and explain things for an extended period of time, more time than TikTok videos. Appreciate your telling us what products you are using and some of the thinking behind how you approach organization and the beginnings of a major cleaning. Thank you- will be looking for more! And God bless your kindness to those in need. 😇

The place looks awesome. I wish this family every success and happiness in the future. My old granny used to say that if you did not have anything nice to say not to say anything at all.She was a wise and kind old woman.

Hello my names Randi😊 I love what you do for people it's amazing! Excited to watch😊❤

I hope they can keep it up now that you've given them a great start.

Blinds are a nightmare to clean. Amazing job. X

I love stumbling across channels like yours. You make such a difference to peoples lives. Really hope i get to watch your channel explode so more people can benefit from this ❤

This kitchen turned out so adorable! You are such a blessing!

Wow, you’re a strong woman, that’s a back breaking work!

What a terrific job… and you do laundry! Sending a Super Thanks.

Great job. The products I wanted and need to buy are not available. I will keep trying. Thank the home owner for sharing and it really is a cute kitchen.

I love the original sound. Just like Midwest Magic Cleaning ❤

I wish you were close to me! What a blessing you are to families who struggle. Keep doing what you are doing. The mental health community appreciates your love and grace!

Hi! I'm here from Midwest Magic ✨️👋. This was a very satisfying clean! I love that you do the laundry too - it makes me nervous when a house gets cleaned but all of that dirty laundry is still in there. ☺️

I have followed Aurikatariina and Mid West Cleaning for ages. I too, love the spray in the bathroom! Such a brilliant idea.

Dont let others who comment and criticize ur ways of doing things!!! They aren't in front of the camera giving of ur kindness 😊

Another job well done Bonnie. I too enjoy the scrubbing sounds…and the longer videos! 👍❤️

The oven melt off was so satisfying! Lovely kitchen. Exellent job!

Wow great job to the mother, thoes blindes are werry nice and clean 😊 You are doing a great job, I think mom and dad just need someone to clean along to get started and some great tips how to clean and keeping the house clean and cludder free ❤ Big hugs from Denmark 💝🌹🥰

What a beautiful job you did, and homeowner you did a terrific job on those blinds. I hate cleaning my blinds so bad, but you did a wonderful job, my dear

I am enjoying watching your videos after finding your channel when Mac and Barbie mentioned it! You guys do so much hard work to help those who are in need. I cannot wait for your collaboration next month! I cannot believe you did the laundry as well because that’s really going above and beyond. I hope this gives this family a fresh start and can relieve some of their anxiety and stress.

Do you always walk around and start by picking up trash? This is a great method I have used in the past (for myself and others). It's surprising how much there can really be. Love your channel.

You are amazing I watch a lot of cleaning video's and you are the only one that does laundry as well as all the cleaning, well done for all the help you give to those families, I'm so glad I've found you on KZfaq I hope your channel just keeps on growing 💗 xx

New here! Excellent video! I love seeing the before and afters of challenging cleaning areas, like the oven. Wow! Hearing you talk about helping out families with multiple children and going through a tough season in life, really makes me want to do the same as you! I like the idea of a large, whole house clean and organize to help the family out and then go on to the next house! 😊 I’m going to look up that scrubby sponge thing you used on the stove! Blessings for what you are doing! ❤❤❤

Bless your soul... I've been a house cleaner for 23 yrs and I'd be charging to do that.

There’s good money to be made in cleaning. I think the trick is being trustworthy and respectful of clients privacy. No client wants their home cleaner gossiping about them. And it is a skill ! Not just anyone can clean a house like this. Btw, the outfit, looks sharp !

Wow, I wouldn't know where to start! I hope they can keep it up when your done. It's so satisfying seeing it done! I just moved so my house needs someone like you because seriously I dont know where to start because theres painting to be done, canning, gardening, chickens, a dog , and lawn, groceries, plus boxes of stuff to be put away. I'm overwhelmed. My husband and I are disabled so it's taken me 2 yrs to get as much done as I have plus keep up w everyday and take care of him about 4 hrs a day.

Wonderful cleaning! Beautiful kitchen!

minimalism, adaptive cleaning and routines will help this family big time!!

You did amazing job. I got overwhelmed looking at the before shots. You’re really kind too. I wish I was as kind as you are. ❤

You are an angel helping others. I so enjoy your videos.

I bet she loved coming home❤️

We are custodians for our church and I just want to reiterate that you should never mix cleaners, they can sometimes create a gas that can be poisonous and very harmful-I’m glad you shared that because I noticed it right away😁. You are such an awesome person for helping people out like this-you have such a giving spirit and you’re so patient and empathetic! Thanks for what you do to help these tired and overwhelmed people!

amazing you are incredible helping out people in need

You are a saint. Thank you for all you do to help others. Also, greetings from Parowan, Utah.

Love it when you use the original sound in background, very ASMR relaxing.

You are a good person to take on a project like this. Great job!

She has some nice stuff. Cute kitchen

I grew up in the USA with wooden floors in the bathroom, no drain. Now I live in Australia and we are required to build bathrooms with concrete floors and drains. Not everyone has a hose, sprayer, but they are great when working with disabled and elderly. I think Aurikatariina works mostly in modern apartments.

I'm with you about the floor drain!!!

No music, only your voice:love it!❤

This is a wonderful thing you are doing for these families❤ And to this particular family, just know you are wonderful parents and wonderful people doing the best you can in your situation. Doing the best you can is all anyone can do😊

I love Auri's videos. They do live much differntly than we do. Americans live on complete overload. Too much of everything in every single room and yes our bathrooms should be like over there with a drain in them. So nice!!

Omg what an X-ray, there must be some story behind that? That’s some amount of laundry. You have given this family a restart which is monumental when you are ‘stuck’ and are so overwhelmed you don’t know where to start. The oven is amazing. Thank you so much for teaching this lady and me and maybe some others different tricks and techniques. The blinds came out great too. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇‍♀️👏👍💪🙏💐

Awesome job thank you for sharing ❤

Bonnie, this is the most satisfying, magical video on all of the internet! You did an incredible job! I love watching your channel and especially listening to your voice, it’s so mellow and soothing and kind 💖

Nice job! To the homeowners: It’s so hard to be a parent and ask for help. You should be proud you weren’t afraid to ask for help.You’re not alone in struggling with taking care of a house. Sending you a big hug. 😊🐦

OK the oven itself is worth a video! Wow! And I'd love to see where it all went too!!! Bravo! Amazing!! Thanks!! Lovely! More of this house please. Yes I firmly believe cleaning organizing and planning must be taught. Love it! Amazing!

I totally get what you mean about people just not knowing how to clean. Having roomates has really taught me that :D They make me look like the cleanest person ever and when I tell them basic cleaning techniques I realize that these things really don't come naturally to everyone. Anyway, great video! Just found and immediately followed you 🎉

First tip. Put the garbage in the garbage can and then take out the garbage when it’s full to the curb or the dumpster just so it’s out of the house. Keep up with the laundry, wash, dry, fold AND put away. Keep up with the dishes . These things give you the best bang for the buck. This is the reason why I have very few small appliances and I don’t have a toaster oven, nope 👎 because I don’t want to clean them. I also don’t have any blinds for the same reason. Curtains are much easier. 😊. I also for the shower I do not have any shower doors for the same reason I just use a curtain and then when it gets icky I throw it away so those are my tips for you because I’ve been there and I don’t want to do that anymore. The small appliances that I do have I use them then I want them down and then I put them away in the cabinet or a pantry because if you leave them out on the counter, they’re going to get splattered on by other things that you’re doing and making

You do a great job and have such a great attitude😊

You are such a beautiful soul. I know the whole family is appreciative. Even the baby. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I just came across your channel and just need to say what a beautiful person you are. So empathetic, caring and generous. Not a lot of people stop to think about what others are going through that leads to the situation. They don't understand which is fine but many don't bother to try to understand how quickly things can get overwhelming and even though you want to keep things going your brain goes in a different direction and things just shut down and a lot of the time there's literally nothing you can do about it but wait and keep breathing. Will definitely keep watching and liking. Thank you for being you.

My cleaning rules are simple; 1. Bag in, bag out. If you buy five bags of groceries, equal number of food containers and boxes must go out. New shirt? One must be tossed or donated. New shoes? One pair must be thrown out or donated. 2. Nothing on the floor but furniture legs. No boxes, bags, or things on the floor. It reduces bugs and make sweeping and mopping easier. 3. Gut and clean each area of house once a year. Drawers, cupboards, closets, corners, shelves. Try to reduce by 25%. This allows open space and room to get new things. 4. All clothes should be hung or put into drawers. If there’s no room, then some clothes must be discarded. 5. Daily trash removal. Weekly refrigerator cleaning, floor mopping. Monthly cleaning all sheets and blankets. Yearly cleaning all windows and shampooing of all carpets.

Fantastic work, I need to work on my stove and stove hood tomorrow. I also love those colors. Thank you.
