- February 4, 2009
The Robertson/Dickerson Family is the seventeenth episode of the seventh season of the popular reality show, Clean House. In this episode, the team of experts step in to help a family who is struggling with clutter and disorganization in their home.
Meet the Robertson/Dickerson family: a seemingly normal family facing extraordinary challenges when it comes to keeping their house in order. The parents, Sarah and John, along with their two young children, have unknowingly allowed their home to become a chaotic mess, filled to the brim with clutter and unnecessary belongings. Their hoarding tendencies have reached a point of no return, affecting their daily lives and overall well-being.
As the Clean House team arrives on the scene, they are immediately struck by the overwhelming state of the Robertson/Dickerson household. Every inch of the rooms is covered with stacks of belongings, from floor to ceiling. The team quickly realizes that this clutter is not just confined to one or two rooms; it has spread like wildfire throughout the entire house. From the living room to the bedrooms, the clutter has taken over, leaving little space for the family to comfortably move around.
With the home in such disarray, the family has been living in chaos. It's become increasingly difficult for Sarah and John to find important items amidst the clutter, and they end up feeling constantly overwhelmed and stressed. The children often struggle to complete their homework in the cluttered environment, and Sarah has even lost track of important documents, leading to missed appointments and deadlines.
The team, led by host and organization expert Niecy Nash, understands that the clutter in this home goes beyond a simple lack of tidiness. They realize that Sarah and John need a complete lifestyle change in order to tackle their hoarding tendencies and learn healthier habits of organizing and letting go of unnecessary possessions.
Throughout the episode, we witness the team's tireless efforts to declutter and transform the Robertson/Dickerson home. Expert organizer Matt Iseman takes charge of the sorting process, encouraging the family to make tough decisions about what to keep and what to let go. He helps them recognize the importance of prioritizing their belongings and reevaluating their attachment to certain items.
Meanwhile, yard sale diva Trish Suhr puts her skills to work, helping the family turn their excess clutter into cold, hard cash. She organizes a massive yard sale, showcasing the Robertson/Dickerson's unwanted items to eager buyers. Her goal is not only to help the family clear out their clutter but also to give them a fresh start by giving back a portion of their earnings.
Designer Mark Brunetz works tirelessly to transform the living spaces in the home. He envisions a complete revamp of the layout, introducing functional storage solutions and furniture that optimizes space. His goal is to create a calming, organized environment that the family can finally enjoy and thrive in.
As the transformation reaches its final stages, the Robertson/Dickerson family is shocked by the incredible changes that have taken place in their home. The clutter has been cleared, and the rooms now exude a sense of peace and order. The family is inspired to maintain this newfound sense of organization and stop hoarding unnecessary belongings.
By the end of the episode, the Robertson/Dickerson family has not only regained control of their home but also gained valuable life lessons. They have learned the importance of letting go of clutter, both physically and emotionally, and have witnessed the positive impact it can have on their daily lives.
