20 Cleaning Bedroom Ideas
I am cleaning bedroom and I need to stay on top of the clutter and mess that accumulates in my bedroom.
While I do not spend as much time in my bedroom as I do in the kitchen or living room,
I still want it to be clean and calm when I go to bed and wake up in the morning.
I have created a simple routine that I follow to keep my bedroom clean and organized.
I spend about 5-10 minutes a day and 30 minutes once a week to clean and organize my bedroom.
My bedroom stays clean and organized most of the time because I have created simple habits for myself that I can easily stick to.
1. Make the bed
Making the bed is the fastest way to make your bedroom look cleaner. It also sets the tone for the day.
If you do nothing else in your bedroom, make your bed. It’s a simple task that has a lot of impact.
If you have a duvet cover, you can skip the top sheet and blanket and just make your bed with the duvet.
If you have a comforter, you can make your bed with a top sheet and the comforter.
If you have a quilt, you can fold it at the bottom of the bed (so it’s easy to pull up at night) and use a top sheet and blanket for making the bed.
If you have a lot of throw pillows and shams, consider cutting back to just one or two. The fewer pillows you have to put on and take off your bed, the better.
2. Pick clothes up off the floor
If you have clothes on the floor that are still clean, then you can fold them up and put them away.
If you have clothes on the floor that are dirty, then you can put them in your laundry basket.
3. Put away all clean clothes
You don’t want to leave your clothes in a pile on the bed, or you’ll just have to clean them again.
Instead, make sure you put them away in your dresser or closet.
If you don’t have space, try using a clothing rack or a rolling storage cart.
4. Put away all dirty clothes
Don’t forget to do a quick sweep of the room to collect any dirty laundry.
You can either take it to the laundry room or use a laundry basket with a dividing insert to separate your whites and colors and take it to the laundry room.
If you don’t have a laundry basket, now is the perfect time to invest in one!
5. Put away all jewelry
Don’t just leave your jewelry out on your dresser or nightstand. It’s all too easy for it to get lost or knocked off.
Make sure to put it away in your jewelry box or wherever you store it.
If you don’t have a designated place to store your jewelry, now is the time to set one up!
6. Put away all books and magazines
If you have a nightstand, you may have a few books and magazines piled up.
If you do, go through them and decide if you want to keep them or not. If not, put them in a donation pile.
If you do want to keep them, put them away in a bookshelf or magazine rack.
Make sure that you don’t have too many books and magazines in your bedroom, as it can make it look cluttered.
7. Put away all dishes
The only thing worse than cooking is cleaning up the mess after, right?
When you’re done with dinner, put all dishes in the dishwasher and wipe down the counters.
If you don’t have a dishwasher, make sure to wash all dishes, dry them, and put them away.
You don’t want any dirty dishes laying around because they can attract bugs.
8. Clear off surfaces
Once you’ve cleaned everything off and out, it’s time to clean your surfaces.
I recommend using a multi-surface cleaner and a microfiber cloth to tackle the dust and grime.
Remember to wipe down your light switches, outlets, and door handles, too.
These are areas that are often missed, but they can be a breeding ground for germs.
Conclusion
The bed is the focal point of the bedroom, so naturally, it’s going to be the first thing people notice when they walk in. Making your bed is a simple way to instantly make your bedroom look cleaner and more put together. Plus, it’s a great way to start your day on the right foot.
