[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am a daughter of a hoarder and enabler.
I’ve read and watched a lot on the subject as well as have personally dealt with it sporadically while my mother was alive and in a radical manner once she was gone (cleaned the house and reorganized things for my dad who was conditioned to live in filth).
Let me tell you, it’s not just a matter of learning how to clean. 
You need to separate your mentally unwell DD and your more adjusted DS (he is more adjusted right?) both mentally and physically. There are people who live with hoarders and become traumatized/conditioned, you need to at least try to save your DS. Maybe he needs a room and a bathroom exclusively his own where he needs to keep up a certain order, by himself or with someone’s help.
Second, it seems like the PP who suggested you need multiple people is right. Cleaners will scrub weekly. You need a guardian for your kids to keep them in some sort of structure.. maybe organize together, give them tasks, assign spaces for their stuff or direct them to do it.
Granted my dad is old but he is unable to function as a clean person without being promoted to put away this or that, to shower etc. 
basically your kids are teens and need to be patented accordingly in their daily life organization![/quote]
That is very helpful and makes me feel that I am not overreacting. I will have to really plan and organize all the help and hope that it will work out in the long run.[/quote]
