Steps and Tips for Cleaning Your Room

Step 1: Wash Curtains

Before you clean and declutter other areas of your bedroom, place the curtains in the wash. Mostly, they can be cleaned in your washing machine. Of course, there are always exceptions, so be sure to check the label for dry clean only.

Either way, this is a great place to start the bedroom cleaning process.

Step 2: Clean Bedding

Next, clean your bedding. This is always a daunting task as it is rather time consuming to wash your pillows, your mattress pad, sheets, comforter, and your mattress.

Nonetheless, I have broken this entire process into a quick cleaning routine. Just follow this how-to clean your bedding post. It isn’t as daunting as you think, and you can see how often you need to do so as well.

Step 3: Declutter Bedroom Dresser and All Furniture

Next, declutter your bedroom following the one major cleaning rule I abide by. See how simple this decluttering process can be by checking out this post about the secret to a clean home.

In the meantime, decluttering the tops of your bedroom dresser and nightstand can be a quick process. Before you start, observe what the items actually are. Then, decide what you need to keep. Next, decide if you actually need to have the items you use out on the counters each day.

After you have that figured out, decide if these items need to be in your bedroom or if you can move some of these things into your bathroom. For example, if you have several types of lotions or perfumes, you may store these in the bathroom. For bathroom organizing ideas, check out this post too.

Step 4: Dust Furniture and Dust Blinds

Next, using the Swiffer Duster, dust all furniture and even your blinds.

Dusting before vacuuming and mopping seems to work better during a deep cleaning process. It just seems to fit better in the cycle as you dust, particles fall into the air, then the ground, and so on. Of course, if you go out of order, no one will know.
