Your bedroom is a place where you would like to unwind and relax after a long, hard day and not a storage area or junkyard. But, most of the time, our bedroom becomes just that and intense cleanup is required to restore its charm. Cleaning a bedroom is not an arduous task; you just need the necessary supplies, a sound plan and some time.
Instructions
1. Gather all your supplies such as a basket or laundry bag to pick up all the things that don't belong in your bedroom. You'll need a trashcan, vacuum and glass cleaner to clean the windows and glass tabletops on side tables.
2. Collect all the objects lying around in your bedroom that can be stored elsewhere. These can be toys, snacks or food items, extra magazines and books and so on. Place these items in a basket and whisk it out of the bedroom.
3. Grab all the dirty or used clothing including towels, sheets, rugs, window curtains, comforters and so on and put them in a hamper or laundry basket. You can wash these later. In the meantime, set aside fresh sheets, towels and other necessary items.
4. Pull out all the pieces of furniture that are not affixed or too heavy. Bed or closets, if too heavy to remove from the bedroom, at least move them around so that you can clean up the entire area.
5. Dust the corners, ceiling, walls, windows, accent lamps, fan and other areas where dust, cobwebs and other junk can settle in. Also clean the assorted knickknacks and decorative items. Use a damp cloth or household cleaner to clean if the surface has unsightly finger prints, water spots or other marks.
6. Dust the dressing area including drawers and chest, mirrors and night stand. Use glass cleaner for mirrors.
7. Vacuum and flip your mattress over to provide even wear. Don't forget to clean under the bed.
8. Clean your closets next. Remove everything from your closets, one closet at a time and wipe the interior with a damp cloth followed by a quick wipe with a dry cloth.
9. Store the items appropriately in closets or drawers, if they are lying around in the bedroom. Folded and pressed clothes, accessories, jewelry, cosmetics, etc. are some such articles.
10. Use fresh sheets to make the bed. Replace the curtains, towels and rugs with washed items.
