A video has emerged on TikTok showing a "cleaning queen" giving the home of an elderly couple a makeover.
The footage was originally shared by a TikTok user going by the handle @aurikatariina, a self-proclaimed cleaning fanatic who enjoys helping other people get their living space spic and span.
But in a video she shared on her channel on April 11, she explained that an elderly couple who were both in their eighties were too weak to clean their house, and were living in unsanitary conditions as a result.
Thus, Auri shared a video of herself spraying, scrubbing, wiping, dusting, and vacuuming for several hours, employing bin bags, wipes, and her customary pink rubber gloves, in a marathon cleaning session.
Eventually, the house was sparkling like brand new, and Auri even filmed the reactions of the two elderly people who were touched by her kind gesture to them.
Take a look at the first video of the home makeover in the video below:In a series of captions, Auri explained in her video: "These elderly people couldn't manage to take care of their house anymore."
She continued: "They were over 80-years-old but didn't have anyone helping them out. This was hands down the most gratifying cleaning days ever. My heart melted when this lovely lady was crying from happiness."
Watch the second part of the marathon cleaning session in the following video:Suffice it to say, but Auri's footage has picked up a lot of attention on the platform, and currently boasts over 14.4 million views, 2 million reactions, and a further 13,000 comments from other TikTok users as of the time of writing.
For instance, one person wrote: "It's so sad that ANY elderly person lives like this, we need systems in place to make sure this doesn't happen :( [sic]."
A second TikTok user wrote: "This makes me so sad because my grandmother lives [on] her own and has been struggling keeping up on her dishes and laundry."
Meanwhile, a third person chimed in: "Oh thank you so much... my dad never told us he couldn't take care of himself anymore and we found much worse when he died. It was heartbreaking."
This commenter then stated: "Their quality of life will be through the roof now [...] You're a gem!"
Finally, another commenter wrote: "Bless you for doing this and being non-judgemental x [sic]"
