Clean Up A Messy Bedroom Quickly

You don't need a maid to have a clean bedroom.


In the rush of daily life, bedrooms often become messy. Clothes, shoes, books and trash can pile up and become scattered about the room. Surfaces acquire dust and bedding accumulates dirt, which can interfere with your sleep. A clean bedroom might improve your sleep, according to a National Sleep Foundation Poll that found people reported sleeping better in a fresh, clean environment. Cleaning a messy bedroom should only take a little time if you work efficiently and focus on the most important tasks.


Instructions


1. Pick up all the dirty clothes and place them in a hamper or basket. Put any clean clothes away. If the clothes haven't been folded and you don't have time, you can roll them loosely and place the clothes in a drawer until you have time to fold. Hang up coats and jackets and put shoes away.


2. Make the bed with clean sheets. Cover the bed with a blanket, comforter or bedspread. Put the dirty bedding in with your dirty clothes and take it all to the laundry area.


3. Throw any food, snack wrappers, water bottles and other trash into a bag or trashcan. Gather dirty dishes. Take the trash out and put the dishes in the kitchen.








4. Put away or neatly stack papers, books and other clutter. Wipe off surfaces, such as dressers and nightstands to remove dust. A slightly damp cloth works quickly to pick up dust and dirt.








5. Sweep or vacuum the floors. If you have carpet, make a brief pass with the vacuum cleaner. Use a dust mop, or similar product, on hard floors to swiftly remove debris and add shine.


6. Spray an air-freshener around the room. A few drops of essential oil mixed with water in a spray bottle works well to neutralize odor and give a fresh, clean scent.
