(Almost) Instant Bedroom Cleaning Tips
The one overarching, guiding principle in making quick work of housekeeping is this: Neatness Counts! Neat and not-so-clean beats clean and not-so-neat every time. Even our housekeepers have been fooled by a neat house that looks clean even though layers of dirt may be hiding most everywhere! So pick up. Hang up. Straighten. De-clutter. You’ll be well on your way to a great looking house.
- Make your bed. Always. Every day. It’ll only take a minute (literally) and makes you feel so much better about your house and yourself.
- Put dirty clothes in the hamper. Don’t even think about throwing them on the floor! Ever.
- Spend 30 seconds hanging up anything you’ve worn that day that’s good for another wearing. Your bedroom will look better and your clothes won’t be so wrinkled.
- Empty the wastebasket. Fold a bunch of fresth trash liners and place them in the bottom of the receptacle to make quick work of this task next time. By the way, an open top wastebasket is said to be bad feng shui. If you can’t hide the wastebasket, check out one of those cute bullet shaped ones from Umbra on www.Amazon.com. They have a swing top and come in several fun colors.
- Clear the top of your dresser. Use a basket or designate the top dresser drawer to stash clutter.
Each of these tasks take a minute or less, but oh, what a difference they make. Try it.

Bedroom carpet stains also need instant cleaning, actually immediately cleaning especially coloured liquids. Because it will be harder to clean after dried up and the stains entangled with fibre.
There are many different methods and chemicals. But most households can have green cleaning materials around. Simply mixing baking soda with water or vinegar to create consistent paste. After whipe off the stained area, apply the paste on the remain stain and wait for about 3 minutes. Can even brush gently during waiting. Then use slight wet cloth the tap off the paste and the stain will soak up with it. Repeat the process if needed. This not toxic to have contact with backing soda and vinegar.

Agreed, above tips are really good and helpful. Bedroom is something which easily get dirty, everyone need to clean his/her bedroom everyday. I think just making bed everyday and putting/hanging cloths at right place will create a huge difference.

Ha ha, my bother’s is neat and not so clean and mine is the opposite but his always looks better! I don’t make the bed though because (i know this is a bit yucky) you lose a lot of sweat when you sleep and it’s best to let your bed air for a bit before you make it otherwise you get more bed bugs from the dust and moistness from the sweat. Euugghh!

Very Insightful, It’s a really basic thing to mention but in the summer ( finally we are experiencing it) Just jump up and get the window open. Natural sunlight and a good bit of fresh air can inspire anyone to get their bedroom, and house for that matter in order. I’ll be taking the time to stop and read your articles again very soon! Your simple bedroom cleaning routine can inspire even the lazy among us to keep a clean home. Thanks very much

Good stuff!! I can’t designate a drawer for clutter though. I know myself better than that! First it would be a drawer and then it would take over my dresser then it would be spilling out into the living room. I actually use a lot of shelves because it forces me to put things away or be shamed when someone comes in to my living space (no hiding in shelves).

It’s an interesting point about not throwing clothes on the floor, if you don’t allow a build up, there never will be one! I know it sounds really simple but if we are honest, its very easy to just forget simple rules like that, allowing our bedroom to end up untidy. Your simple rules should save homes time in the long run, as we all know maintenance is far easier than deep cleaning!

You have mentioned some nice tips about instant bedroom cleaning on this post. I just like all these tips and just want to add some more like: Just check that if there are some insects or pests in bedroom if yes then treat them well before going for bed. Its necessary that you should apply pest control spray at least before an hour of sleeping.

House Cleaning said,

You are correct that making the bed is key. When the bed is made and the rest of the room is a wreck it’ll nag at you until you get the rest done! And then as your bedroom gets tidied and the rest of the house is a wreck THAT will nag at you and pretty soon the whole house is clean!

Fantastic blog – I’m always preaching about clearing thing away as you go. Why do people create a huge mess then clean it up once a week – it just makes you feel like giving up because there’s to much to do! Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today is my motto.
