I received a call from a new client asking me to clean his apartment. He needs it to be clean as he is going home to get married. He does not want his new wife to see a dirty apartment.
I had to take pictures as you all probably think I jest about the mess. These pictures were taken AFTER they picked up.
I must thank my husband for helping me pick up and haul out copious amounts of garbage bags. A one bedroom, one bath apartment took us 10 hours to clean.
After 10 hours and with the help of Bear, here is the result.
Un. Real. This boy would never do that.
ReplyDeleteoh Hell Lids that is unbelievable, that poor poor woman he is getting married to
DeleteI should have taken pics of one apartment. They had to replace the toilet seat. Enough said.
DeleteI had female flatmates like that back in New Zealand. We were always clearing up after them.
ReplyDeleteI have seen how some girls live. Shocking!
DeleteLike dbs said. Were the 'before' pics a scene from the next "Hoarders"? You guys did a spectacular job cleaning it up.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vinnie - always great to see the end result.
DeleteThat is insane. I feel sorry for his new wife. It is a shame that you can't send her those pictures as a warning!
ReplyDeleteThat is what I thought of doing. Poor woman - maybe that is why he is getting married?
Deleteoh my GOSH! how much did you charge him for the cleaning/dumping services you provided?
ReplyDeleteHa - the things I do.
DeleteWow, what an eye-opener! Lovely apartment after the clean-up though :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lesley.
DeleteI'm currently unpacking a whole house after moving and my place does not look that messy. Too bad you can't send those pictures to his mother and his bride.
ReplyDeleteHoly Crap!!! It looks like a very pleasant little space when it's clean. I don't know how anyone can let a place get that bad... and then not be bothered by it. What did you do with the body (wrapped in blanket in photo #2)?
ReplyDeleteThe body was not a problem. Everything gets recycled here in Corvallis ;-)
DeleteHoly crap on a whole wheat cracker! I am AMAZED at the mess. I am INCREDULOUS at your work! (Please oh PLEASE can I hire you?)
ReplyDeleteI would gladly come help you for free. Just to have a cup of tea with you would be payment enough.
DeleteHoly smokes - that is INSANE! And you are a saint, woman! Oh my goodness, how to guys live in a mess like that without getting the creepy crawlies?! Eeew.
ReplyDeleteI know. That is why I take care of a few of them now.
DeleteWOWZA! That's gross.
ReplyDeleteI should have them stay in your hotels! HAHAHA
DeleteI thought my sons kept dirty apartments until I saw these pictures. Sure, they're dirty, but they shouldn't be condemned, like this apartment. You, madame, are a miracle worker! I would have just set the place on fire.
ReplyDeleteI do love to make order out of chaos.
DeleteMy apartments have been messy in the past - or at least I thought they were messy. Now that I see this...my apartments were downright SPARKLING.
