Spring Cleaning Your Bedroom

With the days getting longer and the flowers beginning to bloom, it’s clear that spring is nearing. Known for its revitalizing and reviving nature, spring is a great time to do a deep clean of your bedroom. Getting rid of unnecessary items and thoroughly cleaning your room – especially the areas you ignore during routine cleans!

Gather Your Supplies

Before you get started, you should make sure you’ve got everything you need. Ensuring you can complete your spring cleaning without interruptions.

Gather your anti-bacterial sprays, microfibre cloths and various cleaners along with your vacuum, duster and bin bags. You’ll need them!

Also, throw open your windows to let some fresh air in!

Start By Decluttering

It may feel like an overwhelming task, but you’ll want to start by decluttering your room.

Grab a bin bag and start to toss any rubbish, before moving onto your wardrobe, shelves and drawers. Anything you no longer need or want, see if you can donate it. You’ll notice just how much you’ve accumulated since your last deep clean.

As you go along, make sure to put items back in their rightful places. The clothes in the corner? See what needs to be washed and what’s clean. It might be worth investing in storage solutions such as baskets and bins to keep your belongings tucked away neatly.

Clean and Dust

Next, you’ll want to clean all the surfaces in your bedroom. It’s best to start at the top and work your way down. Use a duster to get rid of any cobwebs in the corners of your ceiling and don’t forget to wipe down your ceiling light. Give your curtains or blinds a clean too!

You should wipe down your furniture too; your wardrobe, dresser, bedside tables and bed frames. Make sure to get behind furniture and even under your bed. For a truly spotless room, consider investing in professional carpet cleaning to ensure that your carpet is also free from deep-seated dirt, allergens, and odors. Regular vacuuming can be important, but professional cleaning can help reach the tough spots and provide a complete refresh, making your bedroom feel brand new.

Tackling Bedding

It’s essential to wash your bedding and linens regularly as they can harbour dust, sweat and allergens.

Strip your bed of its pillowcases, sheets and duvet covers before putting them in the wash. Whilst they’re washing, you can give your mattress some attention. Vacuum the surface to get rid of dust and debris; you can also take this opportunity to deal with any potential stains.

Deep Clean Your Floor

Giving your bedroom floors a deep clean is necessary to remove any dirt and dust. With carpets, consider renting a carpet cleaner to leave them looking fresh and revitalised. It’s an effective way to remove any embedded dirt and stains too.

If you have wooden flooring instead, vacuum or sweep it to gather up any dust and grime before mopping it over. Whether it’s solid wood flooring or engineered wood flooring, you’ll want to use very little water to avoid damaging the floor. Although, the latter is more water-resistant!
