How do you clean your bedroom?

Though cleaning your room may seem like a huge undertaking, in reality, it is probably much faster and easier than you think. To keep yourself motivated, try playing music, making a list, rewarding yourself, and making the task into a game. After you’ve finished with the major chores, go on to the more tedious but necessary jobs like dusting, wiping, and vacuuming. Your room will be spotless in no time.

When you come home from a long day, you should be able to relax in your bedroom and let your cares float away. Instead, you find that your bedroom has become a secluded storage place that you no longer feel comfortable inviting guests into.

Having a simple list of instructions in the order you need to go in to ensure not much thinking is required and knowing which tasks to tackle first and which tools you need before you start (so you don’t have to walk back and forth through your house a million times) are the keys to cleaning a room quickly. This page has the answers to these questions and more.

GarageSmart Storage Solutions has a range of easy-to-install storage options to help transform your room from a dull storage room to an organised space that’s there to be utilised!

Get into the right mindset and get energised

So, first things first.

You’ll waste more time cleaning, hate the activity itself, and put it off till later if you’re not in the correct frame of mind. What kind of a crazy idea is that?!

We need you to put your best foot forwards now.

Although cleaning may seem like a boring chore, if you feel excited about the tasks at hand, you’ll be able to complete them far more quickly.

Get a feel for the tasks you’ll be completing before you start cleaning. Do you plan to clean only one room, a specific section of a room, or the entire house? Having a clear objective in mind might help you stay on track and reduce feelings of frustration.
Determining how long you have to complete the activity will help you concentrate.
Get in the practise of doing so, and you’ll soon come to appreciate both the necessity of getting things done and the satisfaction of completing them. If you incorporate cleaning into your regular routine, you won’t have to convince yourself to do it every time.

Not doing anything helps, especially if you’re feeling down and exhausted. The tips I’ve shared for getting in the zone will undoubtedly prove useful. It’s possible, though, that you still don’t feel like you can do it right now because you’re still too tired/lazy (I’m referring to a more general lack of energy here, not a specific medical condition; if you’re dealing with an illness, please do what you can to take care of yourself).

Assemble Your Cleaning Supplies

Don’t squander your time with low-quality equipment; instead, invest in the best tools and supplies available. Choose only the necessities; wasting time or money on extras is counterproductive. Then, please collect everything and deliver it to the room without missing a single piece. You won’t be distracted by leaving your room if you bring everything you need.

Gather the supplies you’ll need to complete the task at hand. You’ll need a basket, a bag or box, a hamper, a trash can, two cloths, and a vacuum or broom, at the very least. The time you spend searching for cleaning materials is time that could be better spent actually cleaning, so it’s important to have everything you need on hand before you start.

Declutter and pick-up

Get out of the bedroom whatever doesn’t belong there. Put the washing away in the hampers and rehang any garments that were taken down to be tried on but then put back on the hanger. Get rid of as much clutter as you can from places it doesn’t belong.

Sort through all of your belongings in the room and select what can stay and what should be discarded. Don’t waste space or mental energy on items you don’t use or love.

Clutter is a problem in any space. There is scientific evidence that it increases stress levels and that it takes up too much room.

We offer an extensive professional organising and declutter service. Are you getting frustrated by your clutter and home organisation? Let GarageSmart Garage Storage Solutions handle it.

Collect Your Clothes

Pick up any soiled items and toss them in the hamper so you can reclaim the floor space. Choose an open bin rather than a closed hamper if there is room in your closet for one. Clothes are more likely to stay in the hamper and not end up on the floor when you’re in a rush in the morning.

To regain access to the floor, gather all dirty garments and toss them in a hamper. In the event that you have enough room for a hamper in your closet, an open bin is preferable because it prevents garments from falling to the floor during those hectic mornings.

Clothes piled high on chairs and thrown across the floor are the likely culprits in a disorganised space. Get started by gathering all of your soiled garments and putting them in the hamper. Don’t worry about folding clothes or unrolling socks until laundry day.

The next step is to grab a change of clean clothes. In cases where there is insufficient material, it may be possible to swiftly fold or hang what is left. Alternatively, pile similar garments (tops, bottoms, sweaters, and so on) and lay them flat on top of one another. Just bundle up each stack of stuff instead of folding it neatly. Throw the garments into a basket in a pile for later folding and storage.

Put Away Clean Clothes

Take advantage of your preoccupation with laundry to fold and put away the clean clothes you’ve been avoiding. It won’t take you more than a few minutes to tidy up your bedroom by putting shirts and pants in drawers and clearing the floor. If you want a well-organized closet in your bedroom, hang tops and sweaters so that the same side is showing. Having everything neatly filed away will also make it easier to select an outfit each morning.

Clear Surface Clutter

After taking care of the big stuff, you can turn your attention to the smaller things, like clearing off the surfaces. Over time, the surface of your nightstand, dresser, vanity, or desk will become covered in the small, often used items you drop there. Take a moment to place things where they belong. If you find that you are constantly rummaging through the same pile of keys, makeup, and jewellery, it may be time to establish a more systematic approach to managing your daily routine. Earrings and other jewellery can be neatly stored on a small beautiful tray on top of the dresser, and reading glasses can be stored in a little box in the drawer of the nightstand.

Clean surfaces and storage

All surfaces, furniture, door frames, and lights should be dusted with a clean, moist cloth. Remember to start dusting at the ceiling and work your way down to the floor to avoid re-dusting already dusted items.

Clean the crevices in your naked mattress thoroughly by using the specialised attachment for your vacuum. Then, to ensure uniform wear over time, you should turn it over. Rather than turning from your back to your feet, try your pillow top mattress on its side. Either remove them and wash or dry clean them according to the care instructions, or use the hose attachment on your vacuum to give them a good dusting.

Take everything out of the dresser drawers and the bureau. Make sure the closet gets a good vacuuming. Again, wipe down the shelves with a moist towel and use the crevice tool to clean the tight spaces.

Dust the top of the bureau and wipe down the inside and outside of the drawers. Please put clothing back where you found it.

Toss the Trash

Eventually, you should go through that pile of old magazines and greeting cards, but that moment is not now. We’re on the lookout for waste that everyone would agree belongs in the trash. Everything that can spoil, whether it is food, packaging, wrappers, or crumpled tissues, falls into this category. Put everything in the garbage and then take the trash out. If you come across any stray glasses or plates, take them directly to the dishwasher or sink.

Wipe Surfaces Clean

After clearing out the clutter, you should clean the bedroom. Select the best dusting spray, glass cleaner, or antibacterial wipes for the surface you’ll be cleaning, then go to work. Obviously, you should wipe down the surfaces of the tables and chairs, but you should also give special attention to the legs of the chairs and the fronts of the dressers and nightstands. If you sleep in a four-poster bed, you should clean the posts and the headboard regularly because they collect dust and are rarely used.

Organise Each Space In Your Bedroom

Once you have decluttered and only have left what you use and love, you can make sure it is all organised.

Make the Bed

Can anything beat the feeling of getting into bed with brand new sheets? Making the bed with a backup set of sheets might be a time-saving alternative to waiting for the primary pair to finish washing. After you’ve finished washing the comforter, put it back inside the duvet cover.

Making your bed gives off an instant impression of cleanliness because it is the single largest item in your home. Make the bed by pulling the sheets to the top of the mattress, straightening the bedspread, and folding any additional blankets. Just by doing this one thing, the space will look warmer and more welcoming right away.

You still need to wash and change your bedding frequently even if you shower before bed every night and don’t eat in bed. As you clean the rest of the room, don’t forget to strip the bed. Take off your blankets, sheets, and pillowspreads! Remove the cover from your duvet before washing it with your sheets. The comforter needs to be washed on occasion, but you can get away with not including it in every load of laundry.

You don’t need to look any further to find your perfect storage solution, GarageSmart Garage Storage Solutions is the company you can depend on to provide flexible, easy to install storage system solutions.

Edit Your Surfaces

If you haven’t dusted or vacuumed your room in a while, you may have accumulated a number of items that have no business being there. Check the top of the dresser and the nightstands for anything suspicious. If putting things back where they belong will take less than a minute, do it right now. Unless otherwise specified, please place all items in a box and store them somewhere out of sight. Minimizing the number of surfaces in a given area improves not just the room’s aesthetics but also the ease with which you can complete the next task at hand.

Dust the Surfaces

Get started cleaning the space by wiping it down with a damp towel then a dry one. The damp towel will prevent the dust from becoming airborne and ultimately landing on another, more inconspicuous surface. Wipe away wetness and pick up stray dust particles with the dry towel.

Examine the surfaces of the dresser, nightstand, and other furniture in the room closely. Instead of using a dry cloth to wipe off surfaces, which only traps the dust and allows it to settle again, use a damp cloth to really seal away the dust and prevent it from settling again. Be sure to clean the surfaces of all mirrors, artwork, and other decorative items in the room.

Clean pillows

If you suffer from allergies, you should wash your pillow case at least once every three months. Pillows, whether they’re filled with down feathers or foam, should be washed by hand in warm, soapy water. Hang it up to dry, preferably in the open air.

Fabrics manufactured by humans can be washed in the washing machine with a low-sudsing detergent. This includes cotton, nylon, and other synthetic materials. Cleaning solutions that include hydrogen peroxide for germ killing, baking soda for odour removal, and oxygen bleach for unidentified stains are quite effective.

Pillows should be stood up in a top-loading machine with a towel on either side and a third of a cup of cleaning solution poured in. Pillows for front-loaders should be washed individually using 1 tablespoon of detergent each load. Use the “extra-large load” setting and the “gentle” cycle.

Drying manmade materials on a medium heat setting is safe, but always check care labels to be sure nothing will melt. Clumping can be avoided with wool balls, however tennis balls should be avoided because they may be poisonous.

Stash Anything Personal

Because our bedroom is our sanctuary, it is stuffed to the gills with our possessions. Just because you’re in a rush to get your room ready for guests doesn’t mean you should leave anything behind that you wouldn’t want them to see.

Put Away Your Supplies

Take a moment to appreciate how much better this space looks after a quick tidying. If you follow this routine every day in your room, you’ll never lose your bed again. That’s what most of us desire, after all.

Get rid of anything perishable that has already perished.

Don’t waste any more time before washing the stale containers you’ve been using for your leftovers and lunches in the kitchen sink. The garbage should be taken out as soon as possible. Keep in mind that there is a MASSIVE distinction between “messy” and “gross.” Gross equals anything that rodents or insects would use to build a nest in.

Sweep or Vacuum the Floor

Without sweeping the floor, it’s impossible to have a completely spotless bedroom. Remove any area rugs from hardwood floors and vacuum them before you sweep the entire floor. Sweeping should be sufficient; mopping is best left for a more thorough spring and fall cleaning. The use of a vacuum cleaner is recommended for eliminating dust bunnies in bedrooms with carpeting.

Whether you have hardwood or carpeting, it’s best to rapidly sweep or vacuum the entire floor, paying special attention to the most obvious areas, rather than trying to get into every nook and cranny under the bed. After 30 minutes, you can put away your cleaning equipment and revel in your spotless bedroom.

In order to clean the baseboards, we recommend using a microfiber cloth and some warm, soapy water. When cleaning under the bed, attach the vacuum’s extension. Take up any area rugs and either vacuum them or give them a good thrashing outside to relieve some tension.

Cleaning hardwood floors entails more than just sweeping them. Baking soda can be sprinkled on carpets and allowed to sit for a few minutes to remove odours. The carpet pile can be thoroughly cleaned by vacuuming it twice, once in each direction.

Use as much of the available space under the bed and other large pieces of furniture as possible. Put any easily-moved furniture, such as a small table or chair, in the hallway while you scrub the floors.

Wash walls and windows

The dust on your side tables and dressers isn’t all there is. Surfaces such as walls, ceiling fan blades, crown moulding, and window sills can be coated as well.

Dust the walls and corners with a clean cotton mop or the extension hose of the vacuum to get rid of cobwebs. Remove dust from your vents by using a vacuum cleaner.

Put an old pillowcase over each blade of your ceiling fan to catch any stray dust before wiping it down with a moist cloth. Windows should be cleaned with glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth dampened with warm, soapy water.

If your ceiling light has replaceable bulbs, you can clean them in the sink and let them dry in the fixture. When not in use, dust thoroughly. Wipe down the light switches and door handles with some disinfectant spray and a clean towel.

Open all the windows.

In all seriousness, even if it’s chilly outside. Ventilate that cave! Now, in front of your door, near the ceiling, spray one (and only one) burst of perfume and spread it around with your hands. Perfect! That way, whoever enters first will be greeted by a pleasant aroma. And if your crush gets a whiff of your perfume, that’s a bonus!

Do you still have the laundry basket you put aside? What about the box of “things” you keep in your bedroom closet? Make time in your schedule to deal with these matters. Putting things back where they belong will prevent clutter and overflow. Plus, the next time you’re in a hurry to clean your room, you’ll have a huge advantage.

Excellent. Your space conveys an air of carefree tidiness, as though you never have to worry about unexpected guests since you always keep things in order. Now when you’re all alone in your sweet room, turn on your favourite record and start it right in the middle, because you’ve been listening to it the whole time.
