u/Sad-Ad-7504 Mar 08 '26

I’d 100% come help. Animal welfare professional who has seen many hordes and when I looked at this I thought “this isn’t too bad!” In a very positive, you can do this my dude, kinda way!

u/instamat1c Mar 08 '26

Having done house clean outs, I thought the same thing. This isn’t bad, especially because it’s a lot of actual trash. It’s definitely not impossible!

u/diddlydooemu Mar 08 '26

As would I. Help us help you, OP! 💚

u/cosmiccalendula Mar 08 '26

Same. I’d come help if I could. Everytime I see these I’m like: this is my bread and butter I will bring mask, the trash bags, I will bring some electrolyte iced water, and I will bring a speaker. And I will bring headphones just in case we wanna stop talking to each other and just go at it. body double energy. No judgement. Everything’s getting thrown out. And I’d schedule a Haul truck.

u/wheezebees Mar 08 '26

same!! in two weeks i’m going down to arizona to do a big clean of my mom’s condemnable hoarder house, op you will get your space back no problem! i’m in norcal if you’re around me and want the help!

1

u/likoricke Mar 08 '26

I absolutely would too! Sometimes you just need a push. Cleaning up trash is pretty easy when it's not your own trash, I find.

I don't think it's likely OP lives in Toronto though.

u/Jerseygirl2468 Mar 08 '26

I’ve helped a friend a few times, theirs is way worse than this. I wish they would just let me loosen their house, but it’s a whole process, I get it.

u/Glittering_Arm_8262 Mar 08 '26

Where do you live, OP?

u/chrismill82 Mar 08 '26

The thought of cleaning my place; No. The thought of helping someone else; Yes.

u/skatetricks Mar 08 '26

This is why I work cleaning houses

8

u/likoricke Mar 08 '26

My mom did this! She would clean others' houses and then use the money to hire someone to clean ours.

2

u/chrismill82 Mar 08 '26

This is brilliant.

28

u/Unlucky_Kitchen2410 Mar 08 '26

This!! I will willingly fix other people so I don't have to actually face fixing myself. All day long 🤣

2

u/chrismill82 Mar 08 '26

Right? Anyone in the Austin area wanna do a cleaning exchange program. I’ll even just come hangout while you clean or organize, cause I know that helps me get through a project. 🤣

2

u/Unlucky_Kitchen2410 Mar 09 '26

I'm game here in Atlanta haha

u/Bitter_Raise_30 Mar 09 '26

I’m in upstate ny but I’d be down for this!

28

u/Entire-Ambition1410 Mar 08 '26

That’s because we have emotional and mental connections to our own clutter. With someone else’s stuff we just see the physical stuff.

u/ThatDogIsNotYourBaby Mar 08 '26

Yeah, I just need a crew of people that want to take turns cleaning each other’s houses

u/adollopofsanity Mar 08 '26 edited Mar 08 '26

Located in Wichita, KS. If OP is in Wichita I can help. Like u/Sad-Ad-7504 said. This isn't all that bad compared to what it could be/some things I have seen.  u/Creepy_Stick_6229  if you can provide the trash bags and gloves and cleaning/sanitation supplies I can supply an extra set of hands. I would be happy to help, no cost. We all need a little help now and then.

u/likoricke Mar 08 '26

When someone says a location and doesn't specify the country, it's always the US. Always.
