Cleaning Your Bedroom Efficiently

Putting in a little effort makes a very big difference in your bedroom. Even if it is just simply making your bed and removing cups and glasses and taking them to the kitchen every the morning. This will do wonders and will also make your bedroom look tidy.

Make Your Bed

It has been said that laying your bed every day is a good habit. Here a few reasons why;

• It makes the room look so arranged pulled together, and that’s nice to come home to.
• If you have pets, making the bed helps to keep hair, dander and drool off your sheets.
• Turning down the bed at night is a ritual that can signal to the brain that it’s time for sleep.
• Getting into a made bed just feels so good!

Many people think that making the bed is a waste of time, and that’s O.K. We’re not all moved by the same things, and what a tidy-looking bed does for one person may not do a single thing for another.If you prefer to let the bed linens air out during the day, make the bed with the sheets exposed by folding the blanket and top sheet halfway down toward the foot of the bed.

How to make a hospital corner

Do you love a tightly tucked bed? Hospital corners are quite easy to master;

1. Spread the flat sheet over the bed, with overhang on the sides and foot of the bed.
2. Starting at the foot of the bed, tuck the sheet tightly under the mattress.
3. Take the sheet on one side of the bed and lift it up, creating a 45 degree fold up the side of the mattress. Then, tuck the excess fabric under the mattress.
4. Bring the lifted portion down, square the lines with the corner of the mattress and tuck it tightly.
5. Repeat on the other side of the bed.

How Often You Should Wash Your Sheets

Ideally, the bed should be made with a clean set of sheets once a week or once every other week. The timing depends on a whole bunch of factors, such as:

• Do you sleep in the naked?
• Are there multiple people sleeping in your bed?
• Are you a person who sweats at the night?
• Are children co-sleeping with you?

If you answer yes to a few of these, you should consider changing your sheets more often. The choice also depends on how much time you have for the chore, and on how much you care about having clean sheets on the bed.

To make the job of stripping the sheets and remaking the bed seem less terrible, consider the reward: Later that night, you’ll get to slip into fresh sheets. Fresh Sheet Day is worth the work.

Put Clothes Away

Make putting away your freshly laundered clothes part of laundry day. You wouldn’t bring bags of groceries into the house, set them down in front of the refrigerator and call it a day. Same with clean clothes: Part of laundry duty is putting them away.

Keep Surfaces Clean

A feather duster may seem like a relic of the past, but in a bedroom — where we often use dresser tops and bedside tables to store books, eyeglasses, remote controls, etc. — that duster will make quick work of eliminating dust from knickknack-laden surfaces. The nature of gravity being what it is, dust first, vacuum second.

If you enjoy a cup of tea in the evening, or leave a glass of water by the bed in case you get thirsty in the night, make a habit of moving it to the kitchen in the morning to prevent dirty dishes from littering your bedroom by the end of the week.

Invest in a bedside table that has a drawer. It will allow you to stash small items like hand cream and lip balm so that they’re not cluttering up surfaces.
