Hello World! Welcome Friends! Do you have difficulty keeping your room clean? Well, you are not alone. From dust to clutter, there are so many things that can leave your room in a mess. Besides, chances are, the demands of work and family are stressful for you, giving you little to no time to clean your room at the end of the day.
It’s easy to organize a thorough cleanup once in a while. However, keeping your room clean requires a daily strategy and consistency. Here are four simple ways to always keep a clean room.
Make Your Bed
Your bed is the first thing you see and touch every single day and can easily be put in order before you step out of the house. There are easy steps to making your bed perfectly. Start by clearing your bed. When you take items off, put them away rather than piling them on the floor or a side table. This will prevent clutter from accumulating in other areas of the room.
When changing your sheets, place the fitted sheet on first and be sure to tuck the sheets in tightly at the corners. That way, the sheets will lay flat with no creases. Next, put on the top sheet with the large hem at the top, and make your hospital corners.
Put your duvet or comforter on top; no tuck needed here, just throw it on the bed and make sure the sides of the comforter are even and aligned. Then, fold the edge of the top sheet over your comforter. Fluff your pillows and put them on the bed. Easy, right?
As a parent, you can give this daily routine a catchy theme to get the little ones involved. Follow the carrots-and-stick rule, rewarding them on a job well done.
Declutter Your Space
To maintain a clean and organized room, it’s crucial to declutter regularly. Start by going through your closet to identify items you no longer use. Decluttering not only frees up space but also creates a more relaxing environment. Once you’ve gathered these items, consider selling them on platforms like Poshmark, which can help you turn those unused clothes into extra cash. If you’re new to it, this guide on selling on Poshmark offers great tips to get started.
Do Your Laundry Often
Dirty laundry can harbor bacteria and other unwanted organisms. Besides, it can give your room an unwanted smell. That’s why it’s important you do your laundry often.
Many people wait until their dirty clothes pile up before doing many loads all in one day. However, this can be tiring and time-consuming. Rather, do your laundry regularly to avoid this from happening.
To help with doing the laundry often, start a laundry schedule. Decide which days of the week you will do laundry, or what kinds of loads you will do. For example, towels will always be done on Tuesdays. This will help you to keep your clothes neat and, consequently, your room clean.
Clean Your Floor
Floors in the kitchen, dining areas, bathroom, hall and entryways must be vacuumed and mopped as often as possible. Sweeping, mopping and carpet cleaning have to be done regularly to get rid of dust and dirt.
For instance, a very common mistake people make with mopping is that they forget to use a second bucket to rinse the floor. The best method is to use two buckets: one with detergent and another without.
Organize Your Room
Rooms contain things we need and when these things are not kept well, our rooms can look very messy. Shoe racks make great homes for your shoes, for example, and help keep your floors clean.
For parents, toys can cause a lot of mess and can be hard to organize effectively. One way to help deal with this is to put your kid’s toys in a container, grouped with similar ones together. You can also teach your kids to put their toys back after they play with them.
If possible, use hangers and keep your dresses hanging or neatly folded in your closet. Arrange your trousers in one place, do the same with your shirts and dresses and say goodbye to “clothes volcanoes” in your room.
Make Cleaning Fun
Find exciting ways to get everyone in on your cleaning agenda. You can entice your spouse and kids by creating a reward system for cleaning. For instance, you can award gift cards each month to the person who has followed all the cleaning rules each month. You’d be surprised at how cleaning can quickly become a favorite chore for everyone in your home!
