Tips for cleaning my room?

Question

i'm 15 and i have the hardest time cleaning my room. i need tips on how to clean it and then keep it clean. : ) thanks

Answer 1

When I was younger and only had to worry about keeping my room clean. When it was dirty, I would take and pick up everything off the floor, that wasn't in its place, and put it on the bed. That way you have the floor spotless. Then I would start taking things off the bed and put them where they belong. ie: dirty clothes in the hamper, books back on the shelf, so on so forth. Then after everything was off the bed, I'd make the bed, then the room was clean. To keep it clean, pick up after yourself and do it often. When you take something off and its dirty, put it in the hamper. If you try clothes on and then take the off, hang them back up or put them in your drawers. Do the same to clean clothes out of the laundry. If you use a book, put it away. If you have cd's out, when done put them away. Its pretty simple. If you think its hard with one room, wait until you have an entire house to clean. Yikes!

Answer 2

Gather everything that is on the floor, and put into one pile. Pull the trash can into your room and slowly sort through the junk and what you need to keep. It may be time comsuming but you'll get the job done. And one tip that I can think of relating to the maintaining of your room is remembering the time and effort you put into cleaning your and let that serve as a reminder that you don't want to have to go through the agony again. Now go get started.

Here's How:
Grab your supplies. (listed below.)
Few of us have supplies to clean the bedroom actually stored in our bedroom. Gathering all supplies together before beginning the job will keep you from getting distracted and failing to complete the job.

Grab all dirty clothing and put it in a hamper.
Since you're in a hurry, don't worry about unrolling socks, and pulling shirts right side out. These tasks are easier to do while sorting the laundry. Just grab all of the dirty clothes and place them in the hamper.

Grab all clean clothes and refold or re-hang.
If you have a significant amount of clean clothing lying around waiting to be folded and hung, skip this step and place the clean clothing semi-neatly on your bed after you complete Step 5. You can hold your bed hostage and remind yourself to take a few minutes to put away the clothing before bed.

Grab all trash and put in the trashcan.
This is not the time to determine if you're ready to trash old copies of magazines, or that pair of shoes you've needed repaired for two years. We're throwing away obvious trash, not sorting through boxes and closets. Save the major trash sweep for when you have more time.


Bedroom
Make the bed.
Yes, I know there is a major debate about whether or not to make the bed. You are just going to get back into it in a few hours. But if we used that argument for other areas of our home, we would never have clean floors, dishes, or laundry. Why wash something when it's just going to get used again? Making the bed changes the look of a room. It makes a room more inviting and uncluttered looking. Smooth out the sheets and blankets. Fluff and replace the pillows.

Pickup all the misplaced items on the floor, bed, desk, etc.
Put them in a basket, box, or bag. These are items that belong in another room in the house. Don't try to take them back one at a time. Just put them all in one location for now and move on.

Straighten surfaces.
If it has been a long time since you have cleaned in here, you may have large accumulations of your stuff that belongs in your room but is not in its proper place. Take a brief survey of this "stuff". If in a minute or less you can put it all away, do so. If not place it all in a container so that you can go through it and organize it later.

Sweep and mop or vacuum.
Don't move furniture to sweep or vacuum. Just do a quick run through.

Put away your supplies
Allow yourself to reflect on how much nicer this briefly cleaned room is. If you keep up this regime regularly on your room, you'll always be able to find your bed. And isn't that what we all want.

Tips:
If you have a few minutes leftover after vacuuming, grab the baskets and place the items in it in their proper areas.
Do not let yourself leave the miscellaneous baskets unattended for too long. The contents will pile up, spill over, and lead to more mess. If you do not have time now to sort through them, take another fifteen minutes sometime in the next day to do so.
Make sure you remembered the clean clothes. If there were too many to fold and put away, are the neatly waiting on your made bed?
What You Need:
A basket, bag, or box to put clutter items.
A vacuum cleaner or broom.
A hamper
A trash container

Answer 4

I know where you're coming from and I'm 41! Start with only one section - a dresser, a closet, under the bed, a corner. Don't let yourself get sidetracked and give yourself more than one day to do it depending on the mess. Don't get overwhelmed. Use bins, etc to organize. Put on some fun music, and think about how you're going to rearrange your room when you're done to make it all look new! It works for me AND my kids! If there is too much "stuff" think about donating it and how good it'll make you feel knowing someone else can use it and it isn't going to be thrown away! Good Luck!

Answer 5

Organization and proper maintenance are key to keeping your room clean, Make sure where you take something out of you put it back there, it's fairly easy to keep a clean room clean.

Answer 7

put your favorite cd on and tell yourself your room needs to be cleaned by the time it is over. Start at one point and work your way around, ending with making the bed.

Each time you use something put it back where it belongs and hang up clothes when you are done wearing them+ make bed as soon as your feet touches the floor in the morning.
