First get all the crap u dont want, papers, bags, makeup, and you know! stuff u think/know u will never use and put it all in a big trash bag and set aside. Then buy organizing bins/drawers or use ones u have and just sort everything and get it all neat. then dust, vacum, clean.

I have found out from a friend who uses this system that you should make your bed first. Pick up a little at a time from the floor, off the table tops etc. Keep a trash bag handy for all throw away items and throw away when you find them. The things on the floor should be put on the made bed and each thing should be put where it belongs until the bed is empty. If there are still things that do not belong on the table tops, also stack on the bed and put away one at a time until bed is empty. Put dirty clothes in a hamper or basket and carry to the laundry area and hang up clean clothes and put small items in drawers or on shelves in the closet in a neat organized fashion. All under things and socks together, etc. This works. Try it. The bed should start out neat and end up neat with no extra items out of place.

Do you mean clean or tidy??

I love sugarsoap. You can get it in most DIY shops and it is great for re-vamping walls and ceilings. It is non ebrasive but I would recommend wearing rubber gloves. Just spray a little onto a damp cloth and run over your surfaces....... they will be gleaming in no time.

If however you meant tidying a room, I suggest getting 3 large boxes. In one, put all the obvious rubbish. In another, put things that you still want to keep but don't have homes for and in the last box, put stuff you can donate to charity.(this is for stuff you don't want but is too good to dispose of)
When you have your 3 boxes filled, discard as necessary and then sort through your keepsakes, finding proper homes for them and if you can't find a home. wrap it well and put in the loft until a suitable place becomes available.

I always think to myself........ If I haven't used it for 2 months, I doubt if I will so I either bin it or donate it. Twice a year I am very ruthless and every cupboard and drawer has a clear out, I use the 2 month rule and I am amazed how much junk I actually get rid of in one way shape or form.

Have fun doing it though. Think of it as a game rather than a chore and you will get it done in no time.

Good luck x

Go out and buy some plastic bins or something...or get some large boxes. Go through all of your stuff, save what you want to keep, and toss the things that aren't useful. After you have done that, dust all of the things that require dusting. Then, vacuum. Arrange everything to your personal needs, and your room will be clean and will fit to you personally.

throw out the trash, fold your clothes and put them away. Any thing you don't ware or have any use for put in a yard sale and make some extra cash. Make sure you dust your dressers and TV and stereo and what ever else you may have in your room.Have you never had to clean before??

I keep my room clean, so I will not have to do major cleaning in there.
Hope this helps.

It depends what do you mean with cleaning...If you mean normal (weekly for me)cleaning than you just have to throw away the rubbish,the rest get cleaned up instantly,trust me...

1st: Create a To DO list.

2nd: Create 3 piles: give away, put away, store
- you could add one additional pile - sell, if you want to have a garage sale.

3rd: Go through your check list to complete all your TO DO items.

To maintain it: Work on it 5-10 minutes each day.

get rid of any garbage or loose papers you meant to throw away first, so the organization phase seems less overwhelming.

then divide the organization up to focus on one section or topic. for example organize all books at once, or focus on one corner.

If its like my daughters, then a shovel and dumpster might be a great start
