Standard Cleaning

A Standard Cleaning Bedroom

Guide

The goal of standard cleaning is to tidy visible messes and provide upkeep. Leave the nitty-gritty for deep cleaning and concentrate on maintaining the room clean. If you find the room is too messy or it has been some time since your last deep clean, then it may be time for one. Standard cleanings should not take more than an hour. If done right, they may even take 15-30 minutes, depending on how messy the room is.

Make the bed

When making the bed, keep an eye out for any unpleasant odors or stains on the bedding, and change items as needed. Straighten comforters, pillows, and any decorative items. Since the bed is the main focus of a bedroom, doing this will greatly impact how clean the room looks.

Pro Tips

  • Cobwebs in random corners are also a good indicator of a potentially needed deep clean.

Dusting

Dust, mites, and microbes are constantly floating around. A bedroom with poor ventilation will see more dust accumulation on surfaces than a bedroom with good air circulation. It is important to continuously dust and wipe surfaces to keep them clean and fresh.

Empty trash, vacuum, sweep and mop

Your bedroom is one of the most frequently used spaces in your home, and it quickly accumulates dust, lint, dander, and everyday clutter. Keep your carpets, rugs, and hard floors clean to ensure the room smells fresh and looks tidy.

Steps

  1. Empty any waste baskets
  2. Vacuum carpets and rugs
  3. Sweep and mop hard floors
Pro Tip
  • Keep a small decorative wastebasket in the room to make cleaning easier and keep the room looking tidy.
