A WOMAN has revealed how her “hoarder” mum hadn’t slept in her bed for years after her room was filled with junk – but she has now given the room a huge makeover.
Melanie Hutchinson, from Edinburgh, filled 15 bags full of rubbish and said she was finally able to fully see her mum’s floor for the first time in years.
Melanie shared before and after photos of the room to the Hinch Army Cleaning Tips Facebook group, and people were extremely impressed with her hard work.
The finished result was barely recognisable and looked completely transformed after the deep clean.
She wrote: “When your mum is a hoarder.
“Can't see the bed and you couldn't walk in the bedroom. Over 15 black bags of c***.”
The Mrs Hinch supporter said her mum was delighted with the result, despite having her reservations about the clean.
Melanie explained how she had tried to help her mum out with the clutter several times, but it had always led to tension between them.
Before, her mum’s bedroom was filled with numerous random items, including piles of clothes, and it needed a full floor-to-ceiling job to create space.
One Facebook user praised her for helping her mum, and said: “Looks amazing.”
Another said: “Wow, fantastic, now this is what I call a before and after.”
And one person gushed: “Well done to your mum, must have been hard for her to get rid of her hoard but the room looks lovely.”
Meanwhile, Britain’s worst hoarders revealed as man who burned down home twice & woman who kept roast dinner to rot in oven.
And an OAP lived in hallway for 30 years after hoarder relative accumulated 12 tonnes of rubbish before she died.
