Jim and Bonnie's home is bogged down by mementos and unfinished craft projects. They can't even reach their dining room table, let alone sit down. Good thing the Clean Sweep team is here to help them remake their spaces.

Host Tava Smiley walks us through the couple's dining room and spare room. The dining room has become their storage area, while their guest room is overrun with crafts. The rooms are emptied, and the Clean Sweep team gets to work.

Organizer Peter Walsh discovers that Jim is a sentimental softie who can't let go of his mementos. His emotional attachments are keeping him from creating new memories. Inside, designer Angelo Surmelis is transforming their unusable rooms into attractive, multifunctional spaces. Carpenter Eric Stromer shows off his skills as he builds a sliding shoji screen Angelo designed that is as practical as it is beautiful.

Can the Clean Sweep team make Angelo's vision a reality, or are the rooms beyond help? Will Peter convince Jim to give up his keepsake Dodger doll, or will he be forced to play hardball? And what happens when Bonnie refuses to give up her clock-decorating project? Tune in to this hard-hitting episode of Clean Sweep to find out.
