How to Clean a Bedroom

Cleaning a bedroom isn’t all that difficult if you approach it in an organized way.

While you may have your own method, here are some suggestions to make it a bit more fun. 

1.         Play your favorite CD, preferably pop music or whatever gets you moving.   This is a great motivator. 

2.         Gather together the supplies you will need such as: dry cloths, damp cloth, furniture polish, Swifter duster, vacuum cleaner and attachments, clean sheets and pillowcase, trash basket liner, and Windex or vinegar.    

3.         Upon entering the bedroom, put away the clothes that do not need to be washed or dry-cleaned, and place the rest in the hamper or laundry bag.   Clear the dresser, throw out the trash, and leave the bed for later. 

4.         Dust all the furniture first, including the blinds, ceiling fan blades, and lamp shades. Take the damp cloth and go over the blinds and lamp bases.   

5.         Polish the furniture. Use either Windex or vinegar to clean the mirrors.  Use a non-static cloth to clean the TV.  

6.         Vacuum the entire room, including woodwork.  Use attachments to reach those hard-to-get-at places.   If you have hardwood floors in your bedroom, you can utilize the Swifter Wet Jet or a clean mop. 

7.         Place all the items back on the dresser, end tables, etc. 

8.         Make the bed with clean sheets and pillowcases. 

9.         Return the trash basket with a new liner to its proper place. 

10.        Take a look around and see if you missed anything.  If not, you’re done! 

Note:  Pledge has convenient polish cloths that come in a package.  These are great to use if you prefer not to use the spray. 

In addition, you may want to take down the drapes for cleaning, as well as the comforter and sham.  If neither needs to be dry-cleaned, you can easily wash them and put them back the same day.
