I am a total neat freak when it comes to my room. I like my room to be tidy and organized. But it's not easy trying to achieve this. So today I thought that I would share with you a few steps on how to clean your room.


1. First thing I do when I clean my room is writing a list of what needs to be done. I look around my room and see what needs cleaning and write it down on my whiteboard. I then organize those things into 3 categories; Not urgent, important and urgent. Things that are urgent get done first, and things that aren't urgent can wait. If your room is a total mess, than this might not work. So instead, I would clean it on a rotation. This meaning that you might start at your door, and work your way clockwise around the room until you reach the door again.

2. The next thing I do is get ready. Rather than having to keep running out to the kitchen, I get everything I will need to clean like cleaning spray, a broom, vacuum etc. I also turn on some music and make sure that the room is well light.  

3. Thirdly, I start to make a start on cleaning. Doing these little things first will help you.

a) Firstly I take the cover off my bed and put it in the wash. This way it can be washed and dry once you have finished cleaning.

b) Take out any dirty dishes or things that don't belong in your room.

c) Collect up all your dirty clothes and put them in the bathroom or laundry to be washed. 

4. Now I start to clean with whichever option you chose in step 1. Try not to stress your self out too much so make sure that you have breaks every so often. I usually will have a bottle of water in my room with me because cleaning can make me dizzy.

a) Let's say you are cleaning your desk; start by emptying everything off it and starting with a blank canvas. It's much easier to do this than having to work your way around obstacles. This goes for anything you do, whether it be your bookshelf, wardrobe, bed or desk. 

b) Don't stash! I used to do this a lot when I couldn't be bothered. It doesn't work. You might go looking for something that you want and not be able to find it because you stashed it away somewhere. It's much better to know where everything is.

5. Make the finishing touches. Take a step back and see if there's anything that needs cleaning still or something that might not look right. 


TIPS ON HOW TO KEEP IT CLEAN:

1. Put away what you've used!
2. Spend 10 minutes cleaning your room of a night or morning.
3. Regularly go through your stuff and make sure you want to keep it all.
