Tips to Keeping a Clean Bedroom

Americans spend upwards of ⅓ of their lives in their bedrooms. Even though most of this time is spent sleeping, it is still the last room in your house that you see before you go to bed and the first thing you see when you wake up. Your bedroom also says a lot about your character – an organized room usually means an organized person. Use the following tips to keep your bedroom clean.

Make your bed every morning.

If you could do one task to make your room appear cleaner, making the bed is that task. Your bed is the centerpiece of the bedroom, and an unmade bed will make even the tidiest of rooms look messy. Get in the habit of making your bed every morning before you leave the house for work or school, this small step can go a long way in keeping your room neat throughout the day.

Put everything back where you found it.

This is the cardinal rule of keeping a house, or a room, clean. If you take a book or magazine out of your nightstand to read it, don't place it on your dresser when you are done. By putting everything back in its proper place when you are done using it, you can keep your room organized for longer and spend less time cleaning it.

Keep food out of the bedroom.

It can be tempting to bring snacks into your bedroom while you watch TV or read, but it is best to resist this urge. Dirty dishes and empty rappers can compile quickly, plus there is a risk for staining your furniture. If you must eat in your room, dispose of all garbage immediately after finishing – letting crumbs and other waste sit can quickly attract ants.

Maintenance is key.

Performing daily and weekly maintenance tasks only takes a few minutes of your time and will prevent you from spending hours on a cleaning overhaul. Every night before you go to bed, put everything in its place and ensure your items are all in order. Every week, perform a quick dusting and vacuuming routine to keep your room spotless from top to bottom.
