How to make your room an oasis of relaxation with a simple hour of cleaning

If you feel overwhelmed by disorder in your room and you want to turn it into a refuge of peace and calm, you are in the right place.

Cleaning your room in an hour may seem like an arduous task, but with the right tips and targeted planning, you can achieve surprising results in a very short time.

Imagine walking into a tidy and relaxing space, where every object is in its place and the atmosphere invites you to relax.

Get ready to discover effective and fast techniques that will help you achieve this goal, making your room a real corner of serenity.

Eliminate Waste

One of the simplest but essential tasks is to get rid of waste. If you don’t have a small rubbish bin in your room, getting one might make the task easier.

Collect all waste, such as labels from torn clothes or night snack wrappers, and empty the bin when it is full.

Keeping spare bags at the bottom of the bin can speed up this process.

Collect Dirty Clothes

To get started, clear the floor by collecting the dirty clothes and putting them in the laundry basket.

If you have the space, opt for an open basket in your wardrobe so that it is easy to use even on rushed mornings, thus avoiding leaving the clothes on the floor.

Put Away Clean Clothes

Don’t forget the clean clothes. Fold and store the clothing in the drawers or in the wardrobe.

To maintain order in the wardrobe, hang the shirts and sweaters all in the same direction using space-saving hangers.

This not only gives an organized appearance, but it also makes it easier to choose your outfit in the morning.

Change the Sheets

Even if you shower every evening and do not eat in your room, it’s important to change the sheets regularly. Remove the bedspread, the sheet, and the duvet cover.

If you have a down-filled comforter with a duvet cover, wash it along with the sheets. Having a spare set of sheets allows you to make the bed while the first set is in the washing machine.

Eliminate Clutter from Surfaces

After finishing the main tasks, it’s time to focus on the details, starting with the surface clutter.

The bedside tables, dresser, and desks often become points of accumulation for small objects.

Put the objects in their places and, if you notice a daily routine, such as collecting keys or applying cosmetics, consider creating an organization system for these frequent objects.

A small decorative tray is ideal for jewelry, while a box in the bedside drawer can be useful for reading glasses and other accessories.

Clean the Surfaces

Once cleared, clean all surfaces.

Use the appropriate cleaner for each type of surface and make sure to not neglect the chair legs, dresser fronts, and bedside tables, as well as any bed posts and headboards.

Dust Curtains, Lamps, and Fans

In addition to the furniture, curtains, lampshades, chandeliers, and fan blades also accumulate dust.

You can dust them lightly with a feather duster or use a low-power vacuum cleaner. This helps maintain clean air free of allergens.

Clean Windows and Mirrors

Remove stains and smudges from windows and mirrors with a streak-free cleaner. Also clean any doors with glass.

If you have children or pets, remember to clean the lower parts of the windows where there might be footprints or nose marks.

Vacuum or Sweep

Achieve an impeccable level of cleanliness by cleaning the floor. If you have hardwood, remove the rugs and vacuum them before sweeping.

For carpeted rooms, eliminate the dust and mites with a vacuum cleaner. Move the light furniture to clean underneath them.

Make the Bed

There is nothing better than slipping into a bed with fresh sheets. Use a spare set of sheets to make the bed while the first set is in the washing machine.

Once the clean duvet cover is ready, put it back on the bed and enjoy your relaxing space.
