Several months ago I wrote how I have been in bed for 2 years with depression and have gone from a beautiful home to an overwhelming disaster. 200 wonderful people took time out of their day to write words of encouragement and offer helpful suggestions…all of which have been a great blessing to me. I am making progress and I am so grateful to you all. I had made myself invisible in life. Thank you all. God bless.

Thank you for mentioning us! Super impressed by what you got done in this video, I wouldn’t know where to start. With a few we have helped in their gardens I could have done with your help on the inside. Have a great weekend!

As someone who works in a donation center, THANK YOU for pointing out and not donating moldy & stained stuff that should be taken straight to the garbage. I have to deal with that every day, & people dont realize that nonprofits lose money and time having to ship away molded, rotten furniture. If you think it should be tossed, toss it. Nonprofits are not the dump.

It’s a chemo day for me so my pet moose and I are going to kick back and enjoy this while the infusion is going. Perfect timing!

I finally cleaned my room yesterday. 12 Garbage bags. I ended up filling 12 full Garbage bags, with just like.. Dusty Garbage that I never got around to cleaning up in many years. I had to ask my brother for help after 4 bags. I feel proud! :D Thanks for inspiring me to clean up!

Wow Mack I’m shocked and touched that you even know my channel!!! How cool 🤩🤩🤩 and thank you for the mention!!✨🌺

2:20-3:50, I have autistic traits (no official diagnosis), and the "clutter becomes your environment" is real. I live alone, so all cleaning is done by me, when i have the time+energy after a full time job (which cuts into my "hobbies" time). I just deep cleaned the bathroom, and holy moley. I - pulled everything out of the bathroom closet and shelves, - wiped down all the incredibly dusty surfaces - mopped the floor - wiped down the wall tile and scrubbed _some_ of the grout (i abandoned that idea pretty quick) - and cleaned the toilet (which is usually very overdue and a near biohazard) by the end, i had a laundry basket full of nicknacks, and was too exhausted to continue (i sorted through the laundry basket yesterday, and threw away like 45% of it)

Your brief breakdown of how autistic people often stop seeing the individual items in a pile and instead see it as a whole item kinda just changed my life lol. I do that subconsciously. Now I have the words to identify what I’m doing and can knowingly negate that. Thank you!!

We recently started doing what you do and Facebook was also how we reached out to our community. The response was overwhelming, we're blessed to be in a position to help others but so sad the number of people who are struggling, I've been there myself but to a lesser extent. We did our first big clean this week and it was honestly hard work and only maybe a 10th of the condition of this home, you make it look easy! Your videos (and Auri, Barbie and Bonnie) are what inspired me to do the same for others, thank you for all you do. Your commentaries are my favourite 😁 x

For the algorithm!! 🥳 For those wonderful pesky moose!! 🦌 And for Mack & his family!! 🍾🥂🍻🍷🍹 Thank you all ❤

Flawless Cleaning Services is absolutely fantastic! I love what he does for the elderly, rescuing them from overgrown gardens and utilizing his army of volunteers to fix vital issues at their homes. ❤

It still fascinates me how people can carry the burden of what they're going to do but never do - for Years. I saw what looked like yarn in the video and it reminded me of the rug making project my mother bought supplies for, but never ever started, for 30 years. She carried that stuff from house to house to house to house to house for 30 years, always, always intending to make that art project, and never even cut the first batch of yarn. It's not a slam, I carried my rug supplies (bought at the same time) for decades, too, having almost finished it, but not quite. It was a pleasure to get rid of eventually. We humans are very strange things.

Hi mate 🙂 I’ve been told you gave me a shout out so just wanted to say thank you ☺️. That’s very kind of you and I appreciate it 🙂

I love Jason‘s tactic to shoveling the trash in the container by hand. He looks like a meerkat - so lovely 😍

So proud of this home owner for asking for help! I can understand how they would get into the cycle of embarrassment to paralyzing inability to fix it. All the best to them in the future!

The fact that this house didnt catch fire in all these years is nothing short of a miracle

The Carla Project, especially her series with her sister, is required viewing in order to graduate in KZfaq Cleaning! I can’t believe I’m hearing her name here. She is the high point of my Sunday alongside April of Space Maker Method.

Love flawless cleaning! The stuff he’s been doing recently is so much more than power washing, it’s fixing the big stuff that the person can’t afford, roofs, windows, drainage, garden clearance. And importantly, checking up on & chatting with the people he helps, mostly elderly people, it’s really heart warming stuff.

Not only are you kind and compassionate but you do so much education. Thanks.

My cats love/hate your sped up conversations. Pretty sure they think you guys are birds Great video! This house’s transformation is seriously satisfying !

As the child of a hoarder who is now sorting through that hoard, i'm throwing my own childhood away. It's very hard to focus on the trash part. I have support but not much physical help so I have to touch all of it and it plain sucks. I sometimes replay the parts where you describe the $ involved and remember that if I don't do this... I will pay for it in a different way. I am far below the poverty line so I must pay in time and not money. Plus I live here as a full time caregiver so there is no reprieve from the overwhelm. So, thank you for recording and narrating with an honest tone because it has truly been a helpful respite when I break for my 10 minute sanity pause.... turned my "camper" into a dump trailer so i'm using what i've got and pluggin' away!

Thanks for the shout out to Flawless Cleaning. I have been a member of Flawless almost from the beginning. I am so happy to see the community support each other. Ben and his Dad have transformed their work and lives massively. I love integrity in action. Keep up the awesome work you do. Love your channel and your style and who you are. Thanks for all you do! No rude Moose!

Ha! I'm a massive Carla Project and MMC fan... love that you gave her a shout out! ✨ Thank you for your honesty, graft, and moose population control efforts.

Oooh, Nice shoutout for Flipping Drawers! I'm always amazed when he turns roadside trash into something beautiful.

During my burn out I found the energy to finally wash the dishes in my sink for the 6 weeks. I feel blessed to know that I have co workers that would drop everything to help me clean my house. Thank you mack. Hope you recover from your burn out soon and come back FIRED UP and ready to burn it down. You know in a good way

I do have to admit, I was ugly crying when the Legos were being thrown away. I'm getting close to 60 and still love them.

Bravo for the former home occupant for requesting and accepting help. Well done! Ordeal was the key word for me: these people were going through a huge ordeal, you and Jason are going through an ordeal on the other side of this. I hope all concerned can reach a sense of peace once it is completed. Healing for all.😢❤

The oven was on, the dryer lint was piled high in the laundry room, all that fabric and a lit wax burner, it's a miracle that house didn't burn down. The mold's bad enough, but imagine having to clean up after fire damage. Take care of yourself and the family!

I love Jason's technique of laying the trash can on its side and shoveling stuff into it. Genius!

In this house you can see at one point it was a very nice and cute place. A sense of comfort style. Then something happened. Something took hold. Then it took over. I'm so glad they reached out to you for help. I wish them the best going forward.

I like the half hour videos. That is about how much my attention span can deal with at a time.

Yay for shouting out Ben and his Dad at Flawless Cleaning, and Carla! 2 long time favorites ❤️

I have been watching Flawless Cleaning since way back. He started Flawless Blessings which was power washing a property for free I believe he did that once a week? Then over time it just kind of exploded and now it has grown into the most AMAZING channel that Blesses people in such a big way it is almost unbelievable!! I love seeing the clips at the end of his family also. The relationship he has with his father is such a wonderful example as well. Ben is a true believer in making the world a better place and that we all have a responsibility to one another. I just absolutely love his content❤

A Hoarder's Heart is another KZfaqr that could help some of your viewers. She slowly decluttered her hoarded house and talked about how she deals with her trauma and emotional attachment to the stuff. I find it helpful and I am not even a hoarder. I started watching her when she tried to Marie Kondo her closet, she covered her identity at first by wearing masks and glasses I believe.

I knew what you were going to say before you said the Legos were painful to toss. I was inwardly going "Oh no, the Legos!" when I saw them getting thrown out. In theory there are ways to clean them, but speaking at someone who has cleaned large batches of Legos it is very time consuming and laborious to do a thorough job. Getting their house back is more important than the Legos.

There is this You tuber from England and she clean her house and her family. She gives great advise and makes a house that is messy to a nice clean place. She talks about her struggles and how she deal with it. Her name is Remi

I would recommend Remi Clog, if you haven't tried her channel. It is smaller and she mainly cleans her own home, but she talks about struggles with executive disfunction and how she manages to deal with it. I find her very soothing.

Light bulb moment! You said you were taught that cleaning was a punishment. I think it was in your last video. I've been thinking about this ever since. Your videos have helped me start cleaning up my mess, and that insight in particular see things differently. Thank you Freudian Roundhouse Kicker!

Very Quick Cuts is another landscaper that I enjoy watching on KZfaq. He is from Australia and is very thorough. He also writes names of plants he is trimming or cutting down. Does pressure washing when needed too.

This one hit me emotionally when that unicorn stuffie was shoveled up and into the trash. I just think about how that unicorn stuffie came to be in this home, and how something that maybe have been a gift or a treat at the store one day became just a percentage of this trash entity. It really illustrates the emotional space of the people living here and I hope they are able to get to their “unicorn stuffie” selves again ❤

Flawless Cleaning and FlippingDrawers!!! Yes!! They are two of my favorite guys too! If anyone else wants to watch a combo of a yard guy and a cleaning up mess guy I recommend Quick Cuts! He's out of Tasmania and he will do complete yard makeovers where he hauls all the trash out of the yard to the dump and then cuts the grass, trims the trees - just does it all.

I could never understand precisely how the trash in this quantities could land on the floor. But now you explane it in such simple words I can understand it better. It is not to be rude, but sometimes it is so difficult to understand how things work in the mind of people who deal with a variaty of problems. Thanks for being you who can tell people like me how things happen and creats with that more understanding and empathy. Irma from the Netherlands

Mad at/amused with myself that in the midst of profound empathy and sadness I see that paisley chair and I'm like, ooo! that chair tho!

Those kitchen after images almost made me cry. I know there's a lot to do with this house, even after you're finished cleaning it, but it could be such a sweet, welcoming home. I hope the owners manage to get there. I hope they get to enjoy a safe, cozy place to live for many years. You and Jason are awesome for helping them get that chance back.

Love that you recommended Flawless Cleaning Services, Al Bladez and FlippingDrawers, they are all among my favourites! ❤️ Loved the cat! ❤️

The Carla Project is a great channel. Another good one is The Space Maker Method. It's very similar to Carla's channel. Keep up the good work Mack!

Explaining this and helping shows your compassion and understanding is off the charts! Thank you so so much for all that you and your son do ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love the Carla Project shout out! She's been a fav of mine for about a year now and I never miss a video- - just like your channel, her sense of humor and approach to our messy lives and messy selves is so valuable.

Flawless Cleaning, from UK, is great. Massive clean ups, clear outs, and grateful clients with a touch of British humor. 🇬🇧

My sister had an apartment for seven months (a number of years ago). It doesn't take long for people that hoard and don't clean to accumulate stuff. The floors were covered and it was very hard to walk through. One would think it would take years to get trash that more than a few inches thick, but it doesn't.

Y’all… I got my living room cleaned out. Took about a week and quite a few contractor trash bags. My nephew helped me put my totes of Christmas decorations that have been sitting around for two years up in the attic and I took several boxes of things to a thrift shop. Now I had some motivation because of course my air conditioner died right before a heat wave and I needed to make room to get the old one out and the new one installed. It’s not perfect, I gotta vacuum and dust but now I can get to those spots to vacuum and dust. You guys are still amazing.

You are doing archaeology, and there is a branch of modern archaeology called garbology, pioneered by the late William Rathje, University of Arizona, Tucson. Reverse chronology. Well done!

Flawless cleaning is one of my favourite, Ben and his dad are amazing

The before and after pictures are just breathtaking. The amount of cleaning y’all did in 4 days boggles my mind. I watch flipping drawers and his cat Mando… love the Carla Project and her sidekick Samson. Great shoot outs!

Love Flawless! He and his dad are awesome people! Also, watching you scrape the floor was super satisfying!

I so enjoy Carla! How nice to see you shout her out. :D She's so good at guiding people through getting rid of things--firm but fair lol--and just has great overall energy. And of course, Samson

You 2 are absolute angels on earth. I’ll bet you the homeowner is so, so happy to be back in her home.🙏🏼

This video really struck home for me seeing all the children's toys. My daughter who has struggled with ADHD and the associated depression has lived most of her adult life like this. Being on housing assistance actually helped her keep things under control, for awhile. She would clean frantically for the upcoming inspections. But in the end lost her assistance, in her mind, because of me. She passed the inspection but the landlord needed to do some work in the basement. When the inspector returned to check that the work has been completed she asked me to let them in because she was working. Unfortunately the house had already returned to its usual condition and because she and her boyfriend had removed the bulkhead stairs previously to get a sofa in to the basement I had no choice but to let the inspector in through the house. Needless to say the inspector was shocked by the condition of the house. She lost her housing assistance because of it and blamed me for letting the inspector into the house when she only needed to look at the basement. She's been kicked out of every rental she's ever had. We are now estranged and I have no idea of where our how she's living with her 11yo son. He older daughters are now in their 20's and living on their own. Without the proper support, with our without medication, ADHD can be devastating to a family; it was for mine. 💔

Holy cow or should I say holy moose. What a clean up. Great job guys.

Thank you for giving me the incentive to clean my own craft stuff hoard. Cleaning up as I watch your video.

Love that you mention The Carla Project. One of my fav channels & KZfaqrs!

"Autistic burnout" is a new term for me, as autistic person with depressions/burnouts. I'm going to read up on that, thanks! And best wishes to yours.

My cleaning Angel 😇 fantastic job with your loving heart and soul. Jason, great work helping your Dad with his Autistic burn out you like your Dad you have a good heart and soul. So many people just ignore other people nowadays. When I was a young lady, I would seek out the elderly people in the neighborhood I grew up in and see if they needed help. Most of them did, and I always did whatever I could for them. They'd always want to pay me, and I always refused. I always got Christmas cards with money and notes of appreciation with a please get yourself something. I saved up that money for school, and it was always appreciated but never wanted or demanded anything for what I did. Doing this for people just makes you a better person. You don't always have to be paid for what you can do, but the people you do it for never forget you. Lots of them kept in touch with me until they passed. The last card I got was in 1984. I miss all of them, and I think about all of them, and it always makes me feel good and smile. People look around. There are lots of people who just need a little help. A Little of your time could make all the difference in the world to them. It's truly rewarding. Thank you, my cleaning, Angel 😇 ❤

Aww! Ginger kitty cat on the final slide! 🐈 I like the shout outs to other channels. I already love The Carla Project and Al Blades. Will try out anyone else that you recommend. Hope they return the favor so that you get the gold plaque!🌟

That was once a lovely home. You two work miracles, not just transforming a house but changing the course of people's lives. I love watching Flawless too, he and his dad are amazing with what they achieve for people.

It’s so great you are sharing about autistic burnout and honoring your need to rest. Here for you Mack!

my autistic 4-yr oldgrandchild had to go to the dentist today and poor kid really was traumatized, please say a prayer. We have a hoarder in this house and it's been a battle for years and years, he cannot throw away things to save himself. I get cleaning burn out, it happens out of the blue...i had a great cleaning week last week then i went kaput. Still in the valley.

Went through autistic burnout earlier this year after going through the process of buying my house. I'm glad you mentioned this, because I didn't realize that's what I was experiencing until you said this and I looked into it. I was diagnosed ASD a few years ago, and I am still learning about myself. Luckily I am now through it, but it was a couple months where I didn't know why I was feeling the way I was. Good to be able to put a name to it and have that in my pocket for the future.

This is one cleaning where I one hundred percent agree with you. Any reputable thrift store would have to trash donations from an environment like that. Those items were long ago ruined before you started the clean up.

This is the first time I’ve heard it explained how to help organize for somebody with ADHD. Thank you Mack!

Thank you! Not only for the amazing work you do, but also for sharing your story with us. I had no idea that autistic burnout even existed, but you opened my eyes and now I'm able to better help and support my autistic God Son. Keep on being your awesome self, youre changing lives and thats an amazing gift to give 🙏💖

I love it when you shout-out all my self soothing channels.

This was such a nice little home beneath the layers of illness that had built up over time; makes me sad. Thank you for all you do, and happy to be a member that helps in some small fashion to be a part of it.

Somehow these videos always inspire me to clean up. My place has been cleaner than its ever been after discovering the channel.

There are so many mental and physical ailments caused and worsened by living with black mold, which over time causes everyone there to become allergic to it, that discarding and cleaning everything possible is a highly necessary step to solving these issues! You guys are literally saving lives by doing this for ppl in this position!🎉😮❤😊

I found Al Bladez about two years ago. His channel is awesome! I noticed you used a garden sprayer to dampen all the paper on the floor. That's actually a useful idea. If you find a spare moose, I'd love one s a pet. 💜

Oh gosh, I’m a big fan of Al Bladez too! Love that you mentioned his channel. 🥰

One of the best before and afters! I love what you and Jason did with this place!!

Yay to Flawless Cleaning !

Been watching the Carla project and flawless cleaning services for so long. I love their channels. Just recently found flippin drawers too.

The kitchen transformation was awesome! Loved the informative narration. Much appreciation for what you and Jason do. 😊

I really appreciate your compassion for these folks.

Hello Mack. Jason was doing a fantastic job on that kitchen. You taught him well. I had knee replacement surgery in December and can't get down on my knees to do that kind of stuff. I use a walker and my balance is not that great. I called the Central Illinois agency on Aging and I have 3 hours of homemaking help. That would be a good resource for anyone to call. My place is clean and comfortable. I don't know how people can think someone with a hoarding disorder is just lazy and doesn't care. I felt overwhelmed looking at that stuff in your video. It has to be miserable to live with that. I don't think anyone could relax in that, and one's home should be a sanctuary where one feels safe, comfortable,and at peace. Everyone deserves that. Thanks for what you do.

I got my "oh look more laundry/dishes" shirts in the mail yesterday. Love them! Thanks for what you do!

pregnancy gave me the worst mental space of my life 2 years ago. I was unable to work with severe sciatica (nerve pain) it pained me to clean and my house slowly got worse. I wouldn’t let my husband clean up after me (often he did just because he knew it was stubbornness and self hate guiding that decision) but as a person who loves cleaning and love a nest space I still think about that time. Unless you’ve been in the headspace you’ll never understand how it gets like that.

Hi Mack and J! As always, y'all are just the kindest people. My best to Em. 😊

Flawless cleaning is one of my favourites! Ben and his dad are just amazing! Great job guys xxx

Flawless and Flipping are two of my favs. Really like the Hoof GP as well. What I think you need to do in all these cleanups is... OK I got nothing. I do think that Alvin is a really good name for a moose, so if you see him, please give him my regards.

To anyone who thinks he should clean and donate? Has no concept of how much work it would entail to do that. He's already donating his time to clean the home.....that's sufficient. Thanks for all you do!

I’m sorry I don’t know your name but I am watching your channel today. I have to say your tips have changed my life. Especially the one don’t think of the whole room Pick an area. And I loved the video where you taught young adults how to clean. No one is born knowing how. You are so insightful. And I like the way you stand up for yourself. Please take care of yourself and wonderful family. You are a true treasure.

Sir, I can literally say the ONLY time i enjoy doing dishes is when i can watch you two clean at the same time. Hey, whatever it takes!! 👽

Just came here from Flawless Cleaning Services! I'm glad you liked them. Like your channel, they warm my heart ❤

I admire the work that you do. What a transformation on those floors it must have taken ages to get them clean. Your videos inspires me to help other people I know.

Aww look at the kitty on the bed at the end! You and Jason amaze me! You are so thoughtful and kind except to Moose’s! lol. You have worked your butts off and I really appreciate you working for people that can’t emotionally!

Love both Carla Project and Flipping Drawers. Two of my favourites. Lovely people too.

I feel your pain. Bi-polar here. Sometimes depression is so deep I can't get out of bed. That you can push yourself and fight through this is mind blowing

I sit here and watch you clean this and I think to myself, how much money is actually laying on the floor with all of those belongings having been purchased at one time or another. feel so sad for the folks that lived here that felt it got so bad that they had to leave. But at least the clothing and stuff saved the floors.So that's a great thing.Great job as always so entertaining.Thank you so much for what you do❤

That kitchen and utility room are just nightmare to day dream amazing. The floor is so shiny, you can see your own reflection 🪞 lol. The countertop color reminds me of the Brady Bunch. Aww the meow meow at the end 🐈 🥰. #teammoose #teambutts #teamjason #teambabyfilth

Your channel fascinates me. I have a very low-income and I am an extreme minimalist. I wasn't always a minimalist ..... but I have learned to become this way.... it works the best. I've had to be very careful what habits I let myself get into. I have to be very careful what I let my mind think. I've had multiple sclerosis for over 40 years and I can no longer walk. Take care. ❤

This week I'm cleaning the room of one of my uncles friends with my mom... He left it in the state it is in since october and hasn't been there since (so approx. half a year). It was a complete mess, but in 2 days me and my mom managed to throw away most things and bag all the clothes (he wanted to keep all the clothes). I love watching cleaning channels like yours and thanks to that I now know a lot more methods to clean. Tomorrow we are going back and actually clean the whole place, vacuum and mop the floors, and thanks to you I know to bring a scraper to scrape paper stuck to the floor haha, so thanks for that!
