So it is essential to have a squeaky clean bedroom to avoid problems with dust and dust mites that cause allergies. A clean bedroom can act as a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Your day starts and ends in the bedroom, so keeping it orderly will also provide a haven for you to retreat to at the end of the day.

Chances are, you’ve been in a situation where you try to avoid cleaning your bedroom as it is time-consuming. Well, it doesn’t have to a tedious chore. This article explains some of the tips to keep your bedroom sparkling clean without having to spend an arm and a leg on expensive cleaning products.

Clean the Blinds

You don’t necessarily have to take down your horizontal blinds if you want to clean them properly. The easy way is to spray a solution of vinegar and water on the blinds, and then scrub them using a soft cloth or sponge. The vinegar works to get rid of the grease and grime buildup leaving your blinds looking sparkling clean.

Wardrobe Clean-up

Go through your outfits and get rid of anything that doesn’t fit or that you haven’t worn in the past months or even years. If you don’t need anything in your wardrobe, don’t keep it. There are seasonal clothes that you haven’t worn it for the past season, don’t hold on to them, they will have to go. A straightforward solution is to get a simple vacuum pack and shove all those seasonal clothes away until summer or winter returns.

Hang with a Plan

Select an organisational method for your clothing. Start by hanging all the pants in one area, shirts in another, and dresses in another. You can additionally break down divisions by occasions, length, or season. Make sure to spend on high-quality hangers such as no-slip hangers and pant hangers.

Shoe Storage

Customise your shoe area to make the best use of your unique space. Shoes have many places to be stored, on shelves, on the floor, or in cubbies. If you are short on floor space, try hanging boots on pant hangers. Custom shelving is the latest luxury in shoe storage, but a footwear cabinet is another smart solution.

Clean Window Sills

Cleaning windowsills is never a simple affair, especially if you think about all the easy to miss areas such as the track that glass panes slide open on. Worry not though, take a few cotton buds and dip them in white vinegar and mop up all those difficult to reach spots. Use paper towels to wipe everything dry later.

Storage Ottomans

They are decorative and useful pieces of furniture, a fabulous way to store those bedroom extras such as slippers that are always left lying around. They are also suitable for storing an extra throw and extra pillows.

Clean Your Mattress

Do you know that Vodka is an excellent tool for sanitising your king size mattress? Well, if you didn’t know, now you know. Just pour some vodka in a spray bottle and mix it with some essential oil. Spray the mixture on the stained areas on your mattress and then leave your king or queen size mattress to air dry. You can repeat the process if the stains and spills are being stubborn.

Jewellery Display

There are several excellent jewellery displays to choose from when it comes to organising your jewellery collection. Make a patterned shelf and use it for hanging necklaces, and placing your rings in classic dishes. Wire mesh enables you to design earrings organisers for both studs and dangling ones. You can even try piling bangles on a wristband pillar or hanging them horizontally from a pole.

Under the Bed Storage

The space under the bed is a perfect storage area that you don’t want to waste. Use baskets to put bed linens and other non-essentials, but perhaps drawers are the quickest and simplest way to access this space and keep it tidy. There are beds come with built-in storage, or you could make your own.

It’s crucial to keep your bedroom arranged and organised. You don’t need to buy expensive storage or cleaning solutions, all you need is a practical way meant to optimise your particular space and leave it organised and squeaky clean.
