Always Make Your Bed
Is there anything better than slipping into a neatly made bed after a long day? The first step in avoiding a messy bedroom is making your bed every morning before you get your day started. Making your bed instantly makes your bedroom feel more organised. In addition to this, you should strip your sheets regularly. Even if you shower every night, and keep food away from your bed, it is essential to wash your sheets on a regular basis. If you have pets it is essential that you do this on a more regular basis. This is because animals may carry dirt, dust and other unwanted particles into your bedroom from the garden or the rest of the house.
Organise Your Bedside Table
Nightstands tend to accumulate a bunch of miscellaneous items over time. Jewellery, books, pill boxes, shopping slips and other random items may find themselves gathering dust and taking up space. Throw away and put away items you don’t use on a daily basis. A bedside table with drawers is a good way to store small items and free up space on your nightstand.
Pack Away Clean Clothes and Remove Dirty Clothes
We all have that one chair. You know, the chair that is transformed into a clothing horse that you drape weeks’ worth of both clean and dirty clothes out of convenience. Additionally, there is no better feeling than kicking off your shoes and plonking onto your bed. With this said, however, these shoes often find themselves sitting in the place where they landed for far too long. Pack away clean clothes neatly in your cupboard and place shoes onto a shoe rack. Invest in a laundry basket to keep in your bedroom or bathroom. This way you can easily discard dirty clothes, leaving your bedroom space clutter-free. Keeping your bedroom clean also lends itself when it comes to vacuuming your room.
Decide on a Wardrobe Organisation System
In order to help avoid a messy bedroom, organise your clothes in order of frequency, season or colour. Whatever makes the most sense to you, and your lifestyle. Having an orderly closet space will prevent you from pulling out ten items at a time, and using that said chair as an extra storage space. Take advantage of unused closet space by placing a shoe rack under your handing items. Alternatively, small cupboard spaces benefit greatly from hanging shoe storage systems.
Remove Surface Clutter
A messy bedroom owes most of its wrongdoing to all the things we find scattered across our tabletops and other surfaces. Nightstands, dressers, vanities and desks are all prone to becoming drop zones for small daily objects that accumulate over time. This makes your bedroom appear more cluttered than it actually is. Take a few moments to put away items in their rightful homes. If you find you are frequently placing the same items in a certain spot daily, create a neater space for you to do so. Place a miscellaneous bowl, key rack or jewellery stand neatly on the surface. This way those items now have their very own place to stay.
Wipe Down Surfaces
Now that your ‘messy bedroom’ is clear of clutter, it is time to get out the cleaning products. Choose the appropriate cleaner, whether it be a dust spray, window cleaner or sanitiser wipes. Wiping down tables and other top surfaces is obvious. However, also pay attention to furniture legs, fronts of dressers, window sills and rarely touched items. It is suggested that you conduct a deep clean once or twice a year. This requires you to move furniture to clean behind, underneath and on top of furniture and fittings that you seldom think about. For example, the tops of your ceiling fan, the corners of your shoe closet or underneath your bed in between all the storage boxes. Here at Chemstrat, we have a wide range of cleaning products you can utilise in your challenge to tackle your messy bedroom.
