Think of your bedroom as a personal starting point in your efforts to keep a tidy home. You don’t live in a hotel room, with maid service at your beckoning so it is up to you to make it a clean and comfortable place to spend much of your time. It is up to you to learn how to keep your bedroom clean.

You don’t have to make it complex. Just get started with something simple, such as making your bed. Start by removing your sheets and blankets, then turn or flip your mattress to increase its lifespan. Put fresh sheets and blankets on your mattress and change your pillow cases. Arrange all of your pillows on your comforter so that your bed looks just right.

You can proceed to your dressers and closet next. If you’re one of those people who takes a while to choose the right clothes, you probably have some clutter to refold or rehang. Search all around and behind everything for clothes that may have fallen. Take the time to do it right from the start and everything will look just right when you finish.

Make sure you put dirty clothes in with your laundry instead of putting them away. While you’re doing this, take note of any clothing you haven’t worn in the last year. If you don’t intend to wear those clothes soon, donate them or put them in storage. If they are something you intend to wear soon, try them on to see if they still fit. Donate any clothes that don’t fit you anymore.

Next, you need to tackle your shelving. Don’t just dust the shelves in your room; remove any items that you don’t need. Cluttered shelves make your room less efficient and less attractive. Put the items you remove in boxes as you go, either for donation or storage.

As bad as garbage may be in other rooms, if you want to keep your room fresh and clean you need to make sure the garbage doesn’t pile up in your bedroom. If you allow stuff to pile up and linger in your bedroom, you’ll soon have a lot of useless stuff cluttering the room.

Begin House Cleaning in the bedroom as a small step to a clean house. House cleaning doesn’t take too long and isn’t an overwhelming chore when you do it one step at a time. You’re personally responsible for your house, so it is up to you to keep it clean.
