Cleaner shows ‘worst fridge ever’ stuffed with four-year-old food

An extreme cleaner spent three days scrubbing a house with the “worst fridge” she has ever seen – to help a mum and her 13-year-old daughter. Auri Kananen, 30, said the fridge was stuffed with four-year-old rotten food and the kitchen was infested with cockroaches and spiders. The house belonged to 42-year-old mum who slept on a single sofa with her daughter because the other rooms were inaccessible due to rubbish.

She collected 203 big bags of rubbish while cleaning five rooms in the home.

Armed with a scraper, a toilet brush and oven cleaner, she managed to get rid of the grime in three days – transforming the family home. Auri travels the world tackling dirty homes for free – and earns money through social media ad revenue and sponsors.

The cleaner said: “There was so much rotten food in there infested with cockroaches and spiders. The fridge was something out of this world, I have never seen something so dirtylicious.

Other trash in the living room, girl’s room and mum’s room included dry trash, toys, food, packages and clothes.

“You couldn’t see the bathroom floor. We collected 203 big bags of trash. It took us three days to clean it.

Three rooms and two bathrooms.”

After Auri gutted the home, she said the mum and the daughter were so grateful and excited the rooms were clean enough they could hear an echo when speaking.

She said: “At first, it felt like they didn’t quite understand what we were doing.

“When the place started to look cleaner they were amazed.

The mum thanked us so many times and finally, she came to hug me.

“The girl went to her room and was cheering because it echoed there – she was so happy about that.”
