The 'world's best cleaner' has transformed one of her dirtiest bathrooms yet - featuring a moss-covered loo seat and sink filled with sewage. <br /><br />Auri Kananen, 30, spent 48 hours “extreme-cleaning” the one-bed apartment, which featured a toilet which hadn't been cleaned in six years.<br /><br />Despite stacks of pizza boxes and dirty dishes covering the bedroom and lounge - the bathroom was the “worst” - with mushrooms growing in the walls. <br /><br />Armed with a scraper, a toilet brush and oven cleaner, she managed to get rid of the grime in just two days - transforming the apartment from “trash” to “beautiful”. <br /><br />Auri, a cleaner from Tampere, Finland, who tackled the home last month, said: “It was amazing - full of trash. <br /><br />“We cleaned there for two days. There were pizza boxes, and a lot of dirty nappies - which is strange, because they didn’t have kids.<br /><br />“The walls were thick with dust and there were mushrooms growing in the walls - the toilet bowl was dirty, too.<br /><br />“I absolutely loved it - the sink was filled with s**t.<br /><br />“The owners needed me to clean because they wanted to sell their apartment - it was totally empty after I’d finished with it.”<br /><br />Auri started professionally cleaning in 2011, at the age of 16, and no longer charges her clients.<br /><br />She worked for her family cleaning company for 10 years, and learned how to use specific products, how to schedule cleans and different ways to use an all-purpose cloth. <br /><br />A year before she quit, in August 2020, she began creating cleaning content on Facebook, YouTube and TikTok - in which she shared her expertise with her followers.<br /><br />But people around the world started contacting her on Facebook, asking her to clean their homes. <br /><br />And, wanting to help as much as possible, Auri began cleaning her follower’s “messy homes” for free, earning her way through sponsorship.<br /><br />She said: “I’ve been in the cleaning industry my whole life - I really love it, and I refuse to charge my clients. <br /><br />“I give people a new lease of life - I don’t care if they don’t keep it clean afterwards, but for a short time I can remind them of what it feels like to have a clean house."<br /><br />Auri travels to clients all over the world.<br /><br />The worst - or “best” homes usually take around 48 hours to clean - and regularly contain tons of “trash,” layers of dust and dishes that haven’t been cleaned in years. <br /><br />She said: “One home had bottles of rotten milk in it. It was so smelly it affected the whole apartment block." <br /><br />Auri believes her free cleaning services work to improve her clients’ mental health - and says people struggling to keep on top of their tidying should “just start”. <br /><br />“When it comes to a massive cleaning job, you just have to start,” she said. “It doesn’t matter where you start, or what you do - you could just pick up a little bit of trash.”<br /><br />Her most memorable client was an elderly woman who could no longer use her kitchen. <br /><br />Having suffered from severe depression since 2017, the client’s house became so filled with rubbish that she struggled to get around. <br /><br />She said: “There was this elderly lady - her house was a total mess.<br /><br />“She only had one wish - she still wanted to bake. She used to love baking, but her kitchen got so messy she had to stop.<br /><br />“After I finished cleaning it, she sent me a photo of a cake she’d made for her friends and family.”<br /><br />Auri made an estimated £433k from her cleaning business in 2022 - despite charging her clients nothing. <br /><br />Her sponsors - including German brand Sini Cleaning - help boost her income, as well as flying her out to clients abroad. <br /><br />“I always clean my clients’ houses for free - I make my money through YouTube and sponsors,” she added. “I really love that I get to do what I’m passionate about every day.”
