Are you the type of person who feels incredibly satisfied after watching a before and after of cleaned objects? If so, then fear not because you're not alone! There is something so undeniably satisfying about watching dirt and other muck being wiped or pulled away leaving only an incredibly clean surface underneath. There's no doubt that after seeing these photos you're going to be pulling out your mop so you can find the dirtiest thing in your house to clean right away!
1. Is That Toilet From The First Saw Movie?
First of all, we really have a strong feeling that the top picture is from the 2004 horror movie Saw.
Secondly, we admire those people who cleaned this toilet. If it were up to us, we would have already burnt it down by now.
2. Turning Ugliness Into Art
So this person only wanted to power-wash his dirty driveway. But then he thought of a creative way to express the hiding artist in him.
That's not cleaning... that's beautiful art! We really like it because you can use it to ask someone out on a date.
3. Hidden Masterful Mid-Century Faux Baroque
The lady of the house used to look at the dirty, old knobs and always wanted to clean them. So one day she decided to clean the knobs off the old cabinets and look how beautiful they are.
Who would have thought all that grime would be hiding so much detail! And did she hire someone, because it looks like such an impressive job!
4. Worthy of An Album Cover
Just so you know, New York City had a big air pollution issue stemming back to when the American Northeast used to run on coal plants.
We can imagine the lungs of those people would look like the left side of the building.
5. Feeling Hungry?
This person got transferred to a new McDonald's store and the first thing they did was scrub their vats.
Just by looking at how "clean" the vats were before, we are just wondering how many of you wanted to grab a burger.
6. The Outside Of This House Before And After A Power Washing
These people decided to clean their cabin at the lake and we got to say that it looks like a completely new house.
But why is the top picture in the shade, while the bottom one is in full sun? It is because lighting does have an impact on the photo.
7. Half Of A Cleaned Bench
When the wife tells you to clean the swing and you keep on saying, "Honey, it looks clean to me," you should know there's something you're missing.
This guy didn't believe that cleaning the swing would make any significant difference, but he soon realized that the swing was not painted green (it was just years of gunk). We have to admit that the left side does look better, but in the end, it's better off that the mold was taken care of.
8. Algae Vs. Algone
With just a power washer in your home, you can get rid of algae pretty easily. This half-done cleaning job looks excellent.
Our advice is to get rid of the algae as soon as possible because it can be super slippery and may cause an injury.
9. Cleaning Rust Off Metal With A Laser
To some people out there, watching pimple popping feel so satisfying – no wonder why there are millions of views on pimple popping videos out there.
We think that cleaning rust off metal with a laser is more satisfying than pimple-popping videos and deserves a lot of attention. Do you agree with us? Please say yes.
10. Side Effects of Black Air
Someone took a photo of a church in Detroit that hasn't been cleaned since it was built 134 years ago.
Many people thought the church's stones were black, but they didn't know that coal burning mills did the same to the other buildings.
11. The Power of Cleaning
Marischal Collage in Aberdeen is the second-largest granite building globally, so this is how it looked when they cleaned it up.
For a moment, you start to think that these are two different buildings. The "after" actually looks like a more modern building. Amazing what a color change can do.
12. It Must Be Fresh Paint, Right?
These before and after photos of a playground at Wirral school show how a cleaning job made it look brand new.
The difference is truly amazing to watch. One wonders how the kids reacted after looking at a clean, new playground.
13. Was The Dog Buried Under The Muck?
The owner of the house wanted to clean their backyard but the washer broke. So, they went out and brought home a new one. They not only managed to clean the whole backyard but also found their dog that went missing.
It seems like the doggo was under the muck the whole time. The doggo looks proud as if he did all the cleaning. He is like, "Yeah, I freaking did it."
14. A Half Clean Church
It seems like Gandalf the Grey went in the left door and Gandalf the White emerged from the right door
We only wish we could be there to watch the cleaner power wash the rest of the church... man, that would be so awesome!
15. "Me Taking My Makeup Off In The Evening”
This is what it looks like when the 200 years of varnish is removed from a painting. It is so mesmerizing and satisfying.
By the way, that is varnish, plus candle soot, plus air pollution coming off. A professional conservator can work on it by putting a protective coating that can be removed later if/when necessary.
16. Another Reason To Buy a Power Washer
The person who did this cleaning job is a professional power washer. This is one of his recent works and it is so impressive. Some people may like the old rustic look.
By the way, is he the new sheriff, because he sure is cleaning up this town correctly!
17. Turning Cleaning Into Artistry
This is how they turned a cleaning job into something that causes awareness and looks beautiful as well.
By the way, it is the Solina dam in Poland. The cat is Lynx and the bird seems like a Polish heraldic eagle.
18. Power Washing = Instant Gratification
This person power washed a running track and one wonders if he might be able to do tasks like this in the "long run."
Given that getting a new running track can cost a lot, it is best to just power wash it. After all, power washing makes it look as good as new.
19. The Floor Has A Checkered Past
When the husband told his wife that the floor was gross and really needed cleaning, the wife laughed and said there is no need to do it. Well, the husband went on to clean half of the floor and the wife looked surprised and said, "Well, you were right. Let's see the difference."
He could have cleaned the whole thing in a quarter of the time - someone clearly had nothing more constructive to do with their day.
20. Cleaning Job After 15 Years
The jetty wasn't cleaned, even once in over 15 years, so the owner decided to power wash it. The difference it made is impressive.
For a moment, we thought the owner power washed the dog. The doggo is like "I'm fluffy and now that you saw me, your day will become special."
21. Cleaned After 100 Years?
Although the person who uploaded this photo claimed that they cleaned it for the first time in 5 years, we highly doubt it.
Given that they cleaned it and initiated the domino effect, it doesn’t make us feel good knowing that they didn't deal with the fence as well.
22. That's One Hell of a Satisfying Project
As the power washing job in this photo has been so good, some may say that it is photoshopped. But that is not the case at all.
We love this sort of architecture. Look at all that detail. So much nicer than the plain boxes they've been constructing for decades!
23. The Day When The Truck Got Lucky
Hey, when was the last time somebody cleaned this truck? 1922? It's so satisfying to watch it get cleaned.
Some of you may think that you found the most satisfying job ever. It reminds us of those hidden codes you had to scratch off with a coin to uncover them.
24. How to Bamboozle Everyone On The Internet
It seems like the person behind this work knows how to surprise a lot of people on the internet. This is literally jaw-dropping. The tiles are absolutely stunning!
We recommend you download this photo and look at it whenever you feel like watching something satisfactory.
25. Is It Magic?
This person got a garden bench as a gift from his wife 16 years ago and finally decided to wash it.
Although you can kill the fungus by spraying salt water on it, it is best to power wash it for optimal results.
26. Is Your OCD Happy Now?
This is how power washing cleaned up Nottingham City, and although it looks really satisfying, there is one thing that may make you feel angry. There are chewing gum blobs everywhere that look so disgusting.
Perhaps it is time to outlaw eating bubble gum in public or there should be some punishment in place to stop it.
27. Not Leaving Any Stone Unturned
If you ever thought power washing is only there to give you satisfaction by cleaning important things, have a look at this photo.
They power washed the fountain stones at work and look at the difference. It won't make much of a difference in the long run, but it is oddly satisfying and we love it.
28. Free Always Feels Great
The power washer professionals accidentally gave free service to the wrong house and they left it midway when they realized it was the other house. At least they got a free sample.
If you come to think of it, there is a possibility they were trying to make another customer. It is a much more effective marketing tactic than any business card or ad.
29. We Want To See Step One and Two Please
Here is how it looks when cleaning a dirty griddle. It is so satisfying to watch it. We don't know about you but we watched this too many times.
By the way, we would hate to eat the last thing cooked on this.
30. A Facelift That Matters The Most
This facelift of St. Patrick is so satisfying that some may even think it is not real.
After all, some people may point out that they gave the buildings on both sides a facelift as well. What are your thoughts on this one?
31. Human Power Washer
This person had to clean their bathroom without using a power washer. So, they used their hands to do the job.
That's another question, how could the person ever let the bathroom get that dirty? Did they not clean up in months or even years?
32. The "Dirty Side" Looks More Appealing
The person who took this photo never knew that this building was nearly white. Well, you learn new things every day.
Hey, we can understand that a lot of people will love that the right side has been cleaned, but we feel that the left side has more details in it. What do you think about it? Yay or nay?
33. What Type of Wood is It?
Is the wood teak or cedar? The grandfather of this person built these chairs. They always thought that the wood lost its color over time. They were so wrong.
If you ever try to power wash your furniture, then just use strong bleach and the lowest pressure to avoid tearing the wood up.
34. That's What A Total Makeover Looks Like
Trimmed grass and hedges, no weeds and the path look so clean. This is, without a doubt, one of the most satisfying photos on the internet.
We bet this person had no idea there was colored stone beneath. The stones are so pretty.
35. Please Don't Make Any Further Changes
This building in Uppsala was going through a power washing makeover when someone took a picture of it.
We think the combination of blue/gray looks really beautiful with that roof. What if they don't power wash it anymore because it already looks so good?
36. Love The Patio Pops!
Sometimes, all you have to do is clean things up and that's exactly what this father did. He felt so proud of all his work.
It is one amazing transformation. And given that the father was wearing socks on wet ground, it shows how excited he was at that time.
37. Dual Use of a Toothbrush
This person just used a toothbrush to scrub a ceiling rose while renovating a house. And some people don't even use a toothbrush to clean their teeth.
It makes us think of the Sistine Chapel renovations, where they cleaned the 500+ years-worth of soot from the candles.
38. Got The Ring, Now Find A Lady
This person cleaned a platinum ring that hasn't been cleaned for over 20 years. As polishing platinum takes a lot of time (even more than gold or silver), we have to admire this person's commitment to cleaning such an old ring.
We read that if you put any metal jewelry in a wrapped up piece of tin foil with a big spoon of salt and then immerse in hot water, it comes out really shiny!
39. Now The Roof "Roofs" Better
Some people will say that looking at nature is mesmerizing, but we feel that seeing people power wash things can be really interesting and satisfying as well.
It looks so satiating but the only problem is that they're not finishing it. You still can't look away because of the urge to watch how they complete it.
40. A Wonderful Sibling
The brother of this person recently bought his first house. So this caring sibling decided to clean the back yard as a little gift to their brother.
Whoever the sibling is, we have to say that you are a good, caring person.
41. Are Those Copper Wires?
This person cleaned his shoes and it seems like he was so excited that he even replaced shoelaces with copper wires.
Are you one of those people who clean all you shoes in advance just so that you can wear them whenever needed? Or you only polish those shoes that you're planning on wearing?
42. In Love With This Facelift
This is Chicago's national building in the middle of a facelift and it looks pretty amazing. Can you imagine what all our cities and towns would look like if they all got such a facelift? How amazing it would be!
One wonders if buildings get like this in years then think of what our lungs must deal with. It is scary and that's why it is important we take serious measures to reduce air pollution.
43. Gryffindor Floor vs. Slytherin Floor
It seems like this person thought he had a Slytherin floor but he didn't know the whole time it was actually a part of Gryffindor.
If you're thinking about how it is possible that the tiles became so black in just five years, there’s a possibility that grease and exhaust fumes might be responsible for it.
44. Better Than Ever
We know this person must be feeling really happy to clean the deck, but the little issue is that now the deck doesn't match the chairs like before.
The fact that this person didn't take the pictures from the same angle may anger a few people. Now that we have mentioned it, you may feel angry as well.
45. Swimming Pool Ecosystem Annihilation
Someone power washed their swimming pool and it seems like they destroyed the entire ecosystem of the swimming pool! But that doesn't matter because now the swimming pool looks good as new.
We have huge respect for the person who cleaned it all because we would have needed to wear a full-body suit to avoid all that grime.
46. Yeah, No Freaking Way
This person thought their roof was supposed to be black, and although we liked the way they cleaned the half side of the roof, we feel that no one is that naive to notice the color in the first place.
It is like someone saying, "I drank a lot of chocolate milk because I thought it comes from brown cows."
47. They Even Cleaned Bird Bath, Nice
This person cleaned their driveway and it looks completely different. We haven't seen a lot of driveways with a step before.
Imagine if we could start using power wash on the faces of people to see their real faces. Wow, that would be something, right?
48. Beast Taking a Bath
People with a power washer love to wash almost anything with it (some even use it to wash laptops). So this person with a power washer had a really fun time giving their beast a much-needed bath.
It seems like they purposefully drive their beast in dirty, muddy areas just so that they can come home and clean it.
49. How To Ruin Stone Wall's Character
We don't like this one. Although they intended to clean the road and the stone wall to restore the original look, we feel that they just ruined the stone wall's character.
They could have cleaned only the street. The stones’ moss gave it character and beauty. Now it just looks cold and lifeless.
50. On Path To Becoming a Professional Power Washer
It seems like this person was spraying the grass with their power washer and uncovered an ancient map. We wish it was true.
In reality, this person used a power washer for the first time and now they're hooked. It looks pretty impressive and satisfying.
