Time to clean my room, thanks.
PalaverQuader
hmm it looks "clean" in the end. i wonder what the smell is at that point though :P
cousteau
Holy shit, I mean the end result is neat but holy shit.

Normally the dirtiest place in my house is under the bed cause I'm too lazy to get under there (plus back injury)Wild it's the cleanest here
showsovermoveon
unfortunately, it will return to being a pig pen in a year or two.

HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO GO WITHOUT CLEANING TO GET SPIDERWEBS TO COVER MOST OF YOUR STUFF!? JESUS!
DaisyfromDownunder
That is a result of a sick mind. Like a person I knew well.
jgjgjgjgjgjgjg
I'm going to (safely) presume the owner(s) were hoarders and they died.
sometimesarobot
The tiny hard to read text says it's an elderly lady who yes, slept in that bedroom. She couldn't turn her heat on because it was a fire hazard. She was too old to do all that cleaning, and paying someone to do it was too expensive, so she had no real choice.
jgjgjgjgjgjgjg
Oh, okay, thanks. I didn't read the tiny text.
fjk3
And this was a 3rd world country??? Shame on all who knew of her plight and stood by doing nothing!
relsky
I'm sorry, but cleaning those pieces of furniture, scrubbing the drywall... That's gonna do fuck-all for some of that mold. That house needs to be ripped to the studs, and then the fucking studs need to be disinfected.
IncognitoEnthusiast
Correct, but as someone who's done that sort of work. It has to start somewhere, you cant do all that work before you get the rest of the crap out. It just makes it safer for the next specialized crew.
kahooki
I got a nauseous when I saw that they cleaned the furniture and the FUCKING CARPET instead of discarding it entirely.
It all looks great on the surface but you honestly can't keep those things and expect them to be ok.
Cutwail
That is a brick house that got badly vented and heated, it's fine.
But i hardly to believe this isn't an abandonned house.
MadamPuddifoot
She does these kinda cleans all over the place in England. Some people just get so mentally fucked they can't clean for themselves and it just gets worse and worse. I don't know how she does some of the ones I've seen, it's awful. Those people must feel so much better after Bea has come through.
Scahrossar
You'd be amazed what you can learn to deal with if you can't find the motivation to do much.
TheBluntSoldier
How that granny even alive if thats the room she sleeps in
Everyonesfavorite
I can't believe any furniture was salvaged.
ThePostPenultStraw
Yeah, why? I wouldn't trust anything in that place; wood worm bugs, mold, karma.
DarthWaiterSE
It's the UK as well, so there's at least one porcelain doll hiding the walls, haunted by the ghost of a Victorian child who died of black lung.
Slewth87
That woman does not need her bedroom cleaned. She needs a carer or a care home. She cannot look after herself, the mess is just a symptom.
JustDriftingAboutTheInterWebs
Chromez0ne
Nuke it from orbit. That's the only way to be sure.
InnerBushman
And I thought MY room is a filthy mess. Seeing things like this gives me hope for myself.
Toqom
I love all the comments scared of spiders. Never work in cranberries, they are sacred and climb all over you during harvest. Spiders eat mosquitoes, they are my friend. I have literally had 3 pet black widows and I touched them plenty in an open top cage. No they never left as I fed them happy, they never cared that I took their egg sacs and crushed them with a pencil eraser so no babies.
DarthWaiterSE
Yay for wolf spiders which are harmless to humans but essential for cranberry bogs.
Yikes for the black widows; you could pay me to touch one, but it would have to be more than the hospital bill by a large margin.
sometimesarobot
Phobias exist. They're not supposed to be rationable.
annonymouse211
You'd have to be WAAAAAAAY more comfortable with spiders than I am to do this

greenercloud
Uh... It looks clean but I’m sure there’s more to do inside the walls.
dankenmutt
The fuck are her children doing.
"She just wants the place to be safe for her grandkids to visit."
What the absolute f*CK are her children doing to allow her to live like that!
It's the UK, there's socialized care, you don't need to be a millionaire for a nurse to do a wellness check and realize this elderly woman needs to be homed.
BronyDanza
There’s still a mighty layer of mould between the carpeting and subfloor.
Neurisko
Yeah that's the worst offender in this. Even the planks in the floor underneath. Then vents. Even power outlets will be full of mold. They should tear it down to the studs.
majortool
I hope they contacted the city first. You might need a special permit.
Randomice
I am sorry, but wouldn't it be much easier to burn it down and rebuild?
hiyesthisissatan
I can remember for sure if it was this episode but the house was condemned after.
sometimesarobot
Not cheaper though
PorneliusHubertII
This youtube channel is dedicated to doing free deep cleans for people who are struggling to survive.
ruferto
surprisingly, no
Yasashii93
Do we absolutely need, as a species, to have all videos slightly accelerated and have every single pause or breath between words edited out so it’s an obnoxious constant stream?
There are better ways of being concise. Make sure your script is to the point and doesn’t have any unnecessary words and sentences in it. Make sure the video speaks for itself so certain things don’t need to be said. Video is a visual medium. Show, don’t tell.
phalanxausage
I agree 100%. Just because you can perform and edit doesn't mean you should.
mpjjt999
Judicious and necessary remarks. But the method of accelerating everything being the path of ease and immediaty and yours is that of refining, selection and other artisanal techniques, I doubt that you are heard. At least it will have made me happy to read you😬
BigBlueWonder
But that would require actual skills and admitting that video production is a craft and a profession. And tech companies have taught us that we are all content creators.
Redshadow09
though I agree with you to an extent. The reason for it is that most of us humans attention span is so narrow that the smallest amount of breathing in a video is enough to click to the next video so people make videos and cut the breathing and anything else to keep the persona attention.
Leaps
A person's attention span shrinks because of things exactly like this.
medimr
Why is there like...straw on the ground?
TrumpRapesAndEatsChildren0002
"...why don't you blow me?"
ePluribus
"...bags of old animal bedding..." - straw, kitty-litter, etc. - and the bags burst.
medimr
Ah, I didn't have sound on.
Radeonhpc
I just started recently watching her, follow her and click on a few ads, this woman pays for the cleaning herself. The junk removal and puts herself in dangerous situations for those who cant clean for themselves. All for free.
Leaps
You mean for the ad revenue?
MeisterKleister
Reminds me of those channels who clean up overgrown yards for free.
Kablooeeey
My house was this bad when I bought it. Dog shit inches deep across the entire floor. His toilet evidently clogged up so he shit in plastic bags and threw them in the tub. Thousands of them. Mold and garbage 3 feet deep everywhere. Dude died in the house and wasn't found for like 4 months. Bought it "as is" for $13,003 at auction. Tore out everything down to the studs. Spent about 60K demo'ing and rebuilding did most myself, and it's appraised at about 300K now. I lived in a tent for months.
Catsbycat
you're so brave! Glad it worked out!
Srcsqwrn
1, that's terrible. Glad you got through it. 2. Is your name a Sitekicks reference?
RooGryphon
Just bulldoze and rebuild from foundation up. I would never even try to salvage anything if is as bad as you said. Just rip and tear untill it is gone... treat a hoarder house as a burned house.
JohnSmithterms
Congrats. I also did something similar where the entire house interior needed to be replaced but it was all broken and only the bathroom was really filthy. Bought for 70 in 1998 and sold for 220 5 years later. Did most of the work myself. On my own after work. Fuck the property market though. It should have sold for 150. Fuck nepotism through property and fuck being a wage slave to banks and interest. We need more state owned property to stop these price hikes.
MrCcnt
Holy sh**! Would like to see some images!
RecurringNightmare
"tore out everything down to the studs" yeah, and rightly so...you not only gotta clean the dirt and especially mold you see but also everything thats in the cracks and outright inside the walls...throw out anything thats infested...otherwise it will just come back even quicker...them cleaning that cupboard without fully disassembling it or outright throwing it away, or the windowsills without removing them and checking whats under them, that wont do it i fear...
OneMoreLime
Is it... haunted by the plastic bag dookie man?
Sultana
Would be amazing to see pictures of that renovation
cdlong
I'll pass
Kablooeeey
Yeah. I thought about that about halfway thru the rebuild, but by then it just looked like any other construction site. My uncle saw the before and after but none of the in-between, and was shocked. It's not perfect, I made lots of mistakes that bug me now, but it's nice enough and it's paid for. My cat and I love it here.
FuzzyX
411% return is great, but the question is would you do it again if another like place came up?
z3xyNinja
There is only one proper answer: No.
Badprenup
Yeah that's something you either do once and live in it afterwards or something you do for a living and never move anywhere close to the ones you rebuilt
ruferto
did they show pictures at the auction?
RooGryphon
The house should of been listed as free due to the work the owners have to put in. This should be law
Kablooeeey
Yes they did. It was described as a tear down and I bought it for the property and planned to raze it to the ground and build new. Unfortunately I was an idiot and didn't realize that getting all the permits to go that route would cost me another $35K and take a year or longer, but rehab I could do with just a $5 permit that took about 3 minutes, so I rehabbed. Once all the nasty crap was gone it was fun, a lot of work but fun. I was a lot younger then though. Full time job at the time as well.
cosonfused
the 3 extra dollars is hilarious.
SploogeMcDuck316
boomers be like: "kids these days dont want to buy a starter home that is 3 feet deep in dog shit and had the owner decompose for 4 months". **btw this is not a dig at you, this is a satire/commentary of how much work you had to do to buy a home and that many think this should be the base level of effort to afford a place a home.
phalanxausage
With a little unnecessary ageism, too
Imjurbro
In 43, my parents’ first house was about that bad. Mom’s dad (contractor) took a month of work to help them etc.
BenderRodriguz1010
Just burn it down and start over at that point.
spanky2177
Fire. Fire is the only acceptable answer.

Control burn of a home requires removal of anything that would outgas chemical fumes. Would need to be stripped down to studs inside and even the roofing. At that point, if the structure is decent, remodeling would be more economical. Demolishing before even trying to clean would need to be the initial calculation.
RyanSilver612
Always contact the fire department if they need any drills done. You can donate the house to them for their training drill where they will take care of the needs.
BenderRodriguz1010
In my head you could just burn it all. I forgot about all that.
Ionico
Its not even a joke. Those sheetrock walls and those subfloors are SOAKED in urine, molds. "Cleaning" isn't gonna cut it. Take it from me, a guy who has fixed this type of damage professionally. Normally it was 1 room someone kept pets locked up in. We GUT the rooms to the frames, you can see the other rooms and basement. There isn't a room anymore, just void with the roof and outer walls keeping it "inside". The WHOLE HOUSE is like this. You can't fix this without building a whole house.
Lugh314159
Yeah... If that really is black mould, you need a professional abatement. The ductwork will need proper cleaning too.
This kind of surface level clean is only the first step to making this place habitable.
Omicron416
If turning the heat on is a fire hazard, I'm guessing the room has baseboard heat and there isn't any ductwork.
Didn't watch closely enough to notice them if they're there, though.
Ionico
Agreed. It's the step needed, before we go to full demo of each room in question, if we're going the route of saving the property. It might cost more but it's the customer's choice. Not cutting out the flooring and walls that room won't ever be livable.
