What is the first thing that comes to mind when you read the word “bedroom”? For us, this room is synonymous with relaxation, rest and privacy. In this little corner, you fall into the arms of Morpheus, listen to music or watch your favorite series without anyone bothering you. However, for it to truly be a welcoming space, everything has to be as it should be. Although it is difficult to find a few minutes to do a deep cleaning of the room, we assure you that it is worth making an effort from time to time to keep your room spotless. With our tips, cleaning your room will be very easy!
Ventilate the room
It is very important that rooms are ventilated. This is why, even in winter, we recommend opening the window for a quarter of an hour so that the room airs out. This is also the secret of the best housekeepers at home so that their customers find a fresh and healthier room.
In addition, you can take the opportunity to place the pillows, sheets or duvet on the windowsill for a few moments. This way you will help remove the sweat you lose while sleeping and prevent dust mites from reproducing.
Turn the mattress over from time to time
When removing the sheets to put in the washing machine we recommend washing at high temperature in case they have been used by sick people, to eliminate viruses and bacteria. Also take the opportunity to return the mattress. In this way you will increase the lifespan of the mattress, which is approximately ten years, and you will feel more comfortable when using it.
Wash the curtains
In addition to bed linen, curtains should also be put through the washing machine regularly, on a short program and in cold water. Curtains attract dust! We therefore recommend washing them once a month (at least).
Tidy up and clean the room
Without a doubt, furniture is one of the big things forgotten during household cleaning. It’s happened to all of us when we let furniture collect dust for an unlimited amount of time. So be sure to dust the furniture well.
Remove or put away what you don’t use and wipe down the dust with a cloth or duster. Also take the opportunity to clean chairs or armchairs with a damp cloth. Also, don’t hesitate to clean the shelves and objects in the room.
Remember that, to keep the furniture in your bedroom clean, you can frequently wipe the headboard and bedside tables with a slightly dampened microfiber cloth, or an anti-dust wipe, not forgetting the lamps or the awakening.
Organize your wardrobe
In addition to changing clothes that coincide with the arrival of cold or good weather, your wardrobe also needs order. Tidying up the closet is a task that should also be included in the bedroom cleaning routine.
For starters, if you feel like your closet is going to explode soon, it’s time to sort it out. The solution is to go through your clothes and remove the pieces that no longer fit you or that you no longer want to wear.
You can give these clothes to a family member or friend. You also have the option of selling your clothes online or having a garage sale. This way, you will save space in your wardrobe, you will make cleaning your room easier, you will save time and money!
We also recommend hanging delicate clothes on a hanger and storing knitted sweaters in a drawer, which reduces the chances of threads accidentally getting caught on something. Additionally, another good strategy is to place socks and underwear in the same drawer, as this way you will always have both types of clothing within reach.
If it is a built-in wardrobe, wash the floor with detergent, remove dust with a cloth or duster, and wipe the shelves with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Finally, take a few minutes to organize your shoes. After all this, you will finally have a clean and tidy closet!
Clean windows and mirrors
Clean these items carefully with an appropriate product, as well as the computer screen or television. This work requires time and, above all, a lot of willpower. Either way, if you don’t want to struggle with window cleaning, know that you can entrust this task to a professional home cleaning service.
Vacuum and mop
The bedroom floor also needs a good cleaning. So start by vacuuming before wiping the canvas with a scented floor cleaner. It’s always nicer to sleep in a room that smells good. Do not hesitate to use room fragrances or even essential oil diffusers to create an olfactory atmosphere which increases your well-being and makes the room more comfortable for you.
Don’t forget to clean the carpets
And here is the last step to leave your room clean: cleaning the carpets. It is strongly recommended to shake the mats once a week. And to clean them? To begin, it is necessary to vacuum the carpets to remove all dirt and dust.
Then, you have the option of cleaning the material with a carpet cleaning product which is generally found in foam form. This maintenance product removes stains from carpets, cleans them, disinfects them and perfumes them.
