Tidying Bedrooms – Day 4 – Reset Your Home in a Week

This is part 4 of the series Reset Your Home in a Week  . The series that details how I get my home in company order (and a better place to live in) in a week.

Cleaning the Bedrooms

I personally think the bedrooms are one of the quickest and easiest rooms in the home to clean. Provided you haven't turned your bedroom into a dumping ground it can quickly be turned into the quiet serene room it's supposed to be.

Here, on Day 4, of Reset Your Home in a Week we are tackling the bedrooms. If your children are of an age to pitch in do have them clean and tidy their own rooms.

Reminder we are not doing super deep cleaning in this series. For the bedrooms through we do want to tackle the dust.

Let's get started….

Bedroom Cleaning Steps

1. Start by stripping your bed and washing everything you can wash. If your comforters are dry clean only make sure not to just dump them on the floor. Change your linens. Spring is the perfect time to put on lighter linens. Replace the flannel with a light weight cotton. Change the bedspread to a lighter, more spring like color or texture.
2. Vacuum your mattress and flip your mattress.
3. Next, using your vacuum cleaner extension, vacuum corners of the room from the ceiling down.
4. Move on to clean your windows and mirrors with glass cleaner.
5. Next open your windows and clean the window tracks. It's probably about time.
6. If you have washable curtains this is a great time to wash them according to instructions. If you have blinds or shutters, go over them with a duster.
7. Dust your bedroom lamps and bulbs. Be careful to not get cleaner on light bulbs. Itíll make them burn out more quickly.
8. Use a soft cloth and your favorite furniture polish on bedroom furniture such as dressers and night stands. If your furniture is extra dusty dry dust it first.
9. With a clean damp cloth and a bucket of soapy water, wash any marks off of your walls.
10. Clean under your bed. Move it and vacuum underneath it too.
11. Using your vacuum cleaner attachment, vacuum heating vents/radiators.
12. Final step is to vacuum carpet or sweep and mop floor.

Decluttering

If your bedrooms need decluttering you can take note while cleaning that this is something you want to come back to.
