Hoarders: Coming Clean

Filled with an estimated 500 tons of clutter, Margie and Bethel's house is an extreme fire hazard. Her family refuses to allow their grandchildren to visit due to unsanitary conditions and the extremely hazardous environment. Even though the home is contaminated with rodent waste, Margie sees no danger. Suffering from back pain that will require surgery, her family knows the home is unfit for Margie's recovery. Now with the help of the Hoarders team of experts, Margie will have a chance to clean up and create a safe environment. Cleaning expert Matt Paxton delves into the troubles he faced while helping Margie clean her hoard. 

Forrest grew up in the projects and would tell his son stories about a pair of shoes he couldn't afford when he was younger. As an adult Forrest became a success in life owning businesses, working hard and becoming a role model for underprivileged teens. Perhaps an appreciation for the finer things in life gave Forrest a drive to acquire an excess of unique items that overtook his home inside and out. Forrest is facing extreme financial pressure from daily fines from the Homeowners Association. Because all the clutter is actually valuable, Forrest and the Hoarders team of experts are pushed to the limit to save Forrest's home, resolve his financial crisis, and make space for Forrest to live. Dr. Robin Zasio takes viewers into an in-depth look at the troubles and victories Forrest faced in this episode.
