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.

we are a house cleaning company in Turkey and following your blog which helps to solve our problems that we faced during cleaning home.thanks for sharing these tips.

The bed room is the place where you can have a rest. It should be clean as always. Since I am starting to work as a domestic cleaner, this tips will help clean the bedroom.
thanks.
Great tips for kids/teenagers! Get them into the habit!!! 😀
Nice review for house cleaning, I think that by taking the help of professional cleaners you can get the best services for making your cleaning more successful.
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!
I liked your idea about instant cleaning. I always used to struggled with the cleaning every time. Your post helped me alot. Thanks for sharing with me.
So glad!
Great tips for keeping the family home tidy. Thanks.
You are so welcome. Thanks for reading.
You have so great tips for keeping the bedroom clean if only some of my clients followed them it would make my life a bit easier.. great blog keep up the good work
Our housekeepers would agree wholeheartedly!! Thanks for you comment.
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!
Those are one of the most efficient and easy ways to make yourself and your surrounding you live in look clean and fresh. And I will also suggest my clients to follow so there life goes clean and hygienic and ours some easier too.

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.
Hmmmm. Never thought about that, but what great advice for those who live where insects are a factor. Thanks for sharing.

Good point!
Those are some good bedroom cleaning tips. I am so lazy to follow these tips and clean my room and I have never seen it clean and tidy since I have been living in it.
Ah! An honest man!!
Brilliant Article although I think you should have titled it “Instant Bedroom Cleaning Tips for MEN” – My man in particular. Best Regards Clean 2 Shine
Thats great! Nice cleaning tips shared! I like my bedroom to be always clean and tidy..But today most people are busy in their tight schedule and not getting time to keep their house clean.Hiring a house cleaner is a good solution to this problem.
Excellent tips here! Keep it simple, but make it effective! 🙂
Thanks for sharing these instant bedroom cleaning tips. Domestic House Cleaning is always a big issue.http://www.chemdryexpress.ie
thanks for sharing such an informative tips………..
Well, routine counts. For me it is much more reasonable to clean every day for 5 minutes than to clean an hour once a week!
I bet you have a great routine! Whatever works, right?
Thanks for the awesome tips and suggestions! With 5 boys to take care of, sometimes I just feel like hiring a maid service!! Thanks for making cleaning seem more manageable.
We hear you!!
I have always hated making my bed; you’r just going to unmake it in like 14 hours anyways! lol
Hahaha! That’s what you guys always say. 😉
Yes, lack of time and perfection don’t go together, right? But still, there’s a way to maintain order quiclky 🙂
It’s always a balance, isn’t it. But perfectionism can sure get in the way of a semi-orderly home.
Honestly, making up my bed does not make me happy- it makes me feel miserable, realizing that I have to go to work! :))
Hmmm….I see your point, I guess, but doesn’t a made bed make you feel a whole lot better when you come home after work??
Sounds great, hehe let me try this at home.

Just awesome, thanks for this information because its helpful for me, because i have a dust allergy problem.
The home cleaning is something that I am realizing I need. I’m looking at my living room right now and it is a wreck. In Portland, OR, there are some great companies that do this.
I will definitely try to do this things, it makes sense!
Excellent tips! Bedroom for me is one of a very important part of a house and must be organized in timely manner. Our bedroom should have a well ambiance where we can rest and relax.
You have to clean your room regulary. The best way is to book a domestic cleaner to do that for you 🙂
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!
How true!! (Though it would seem this is not true of everyone….;-)
Thank you for sharing this wonderful tips. Nice Post
Thank you. Feel free to browse.
Common sense really, but most people don’t do these things. But I suppose that’s why I have work. If everyone kept their place immaculate, they wouldn’t need me. 🙂
We share your enthusiasm!
Very interesting, keep going with good tips about cleaning.
nice and very informative blog it is..

very helpful blog
Great! Having these useful tips makes my room comfy 🙂
Thanks so much for the info
And thank you for your comment.
Hello, no more tips on your blog since a long time. It’s a shame!
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.
Amen, Sister.
I have been trying to drill this to my teenagers for years. Baby steps
Some really good quick tips in there! All very simple but it is a matter of a routine and smart thinking to make the task of cleaning easier. Thanks!
I like the idea about having a basked/drawer where to stash clutter.
Excellent Job! I’d love to read it more articles from these blog…
Thanks for the tips. They will be really helpful to everyone.
Thank you for your article. I have been searching for all the info I can find great cleaning tips. Thanks again for all the info!
Great Article. I always enjoy reading about things that make my life more organized and neater… thanks again
I am truly grateful to the owner of this web page who has shared this impressive article at here.
You actually motivated me to start making my bed; I have sort of stopped doing it altogether for a few years now, will be fun to get back to doing it.
Too bad you don’t update the blog anymore by the way 😦
A fine article for cleaning tips! Thanks!
Very true tips 🙂 It’s amazing how quickly a room can become a mess if you leave your clothes out and don’t hang them or throw them into the hamper.
How true!
Having a well organized home can instantly improve your mood. Thanks for these tips.
I keep decorative bowls on the dresser for jewelry, loose change, movie stubs, and other small things that can clutter up the surface.
Also, having hangers of all the same color and type (plastic, wood, etc.) make your bedroom closet look so much more organized.
Great bedroom cleaning tips. Another one is to add a bath bomb to a bowl of water. It will freshen up any room in your home.
Hmmmm. That’s an interesting idea.
Truly nice job. This quotation is really tremendous job. I think it will be helpful for all. keep it up.

Thanks for these tips!
I agree with the philosophy of keeping things in the moment. Keeping things current for me means extending that to cleaning and tidying household items as they need doing there and then. That way things don’t have to accumulate. It keeps things energised and feels uplifting.
Wow these tips are actually quite useful- I may share these with my cients- thanks!
Great tips and thanks for putting these up!
But sometimes it’s impossible not to throw clothes on the floor in the evening when you are tired… Although I always make my bed in the morning:)
Great tips! Keep it up!
Awesome tips, not many helpful tips for home cleaning our there!
Reblogged this on North London Cleaner.
Don’t forget the carpets. Especially under the bed. This area often gets neglected. You can always bring in the cleaning experts to make sure everything is covered. http://www.aqua-dry.com
Right, so right. Usually very easy to forget under the beds. Of course experts always remember this but how about the normal people.
Short and handy ! Or if you’re still lazy after reading those great instant-house-cleaning tips, and if you still don’t want to hire a professional company from across town for a 30min job, then hire a neighbour to do it for you ! Check this out http://www.kudop.com
Good idea!
Each of these tasks take a minute or less, but oh, what a difference they make. Try it. Really make big change ………
I have another word, your writing style is great. I will flow it. 🙂
Thank you for your kind words!
My motto has always been a little effort goes a long way 🙂
Awesome tips here. I’ve definitely learned a few new ones which I can pass on to my workers and clients
Great post! Been reading a lot about doing home cleaning well. Thanks for the info here!
I agree with the other comments regarding carpet cleaning in the bedroom. Hover properly every day. This is especially true if you have children who are asthmatic.
I would say, stop being lazy and fix a place for every mess. Nothing can be more irritating than a disoriented bedroom. Thanks for sharing these wonderful tips, I am sure they will be a great help 🙂
Couldn’t agree more with these tips. Making your bed should become a daily habitat. Less clutter in your eye-line the better.
