Elizabeth and Madeline are a mother-daughter combo who have let the mess in their home get out of control. The living room is buried under various racks of clothes and old items from past houses, and Elizabeth's bedroom has become a family dumping ground. Thank goodness the Clean Sweep team is here to help dig them out.

Host Tava Smiley leads a tour of the rooms, and finds that a couple of recent moves and Elizabeth's divorce have only worked to exacerbate the problem. The rooms are quickly emptied, and the team gets to work.

Organizer Peter Walsh meets our family outside, and they begin to comb through all of Elizabeth's clothes, and the family items from the living room. Inside, designer Kelli Ellis has started to transform their disorganized family room into a zen-like haven for the whole family. Carpenter Eric Stromer is creating a new TV cabinet/entertainment center for Elizabeth's room, and adding some new bedside tables to boot.

What special surprise does Kelli have in store for the living room? Why is Eric running around in the woods? And what makes Peter run away screaming? Tune in to this life-changing episode to see for yourself.
