May 10th is National Clean Your Room Day! Celebrate by using these tips to make cleaning your room easier than ever.

Make it fun

One of the easiest ways to making cleaning a little more fun is turning it into a dance party! Pull out your speaker, sing along, and dance to the music while dusting, vacuuming, or folding laundry.

Bedding first

Sleeping in fresh sheets after is one of the best parts of cleaning your room! By stripping your bed first, they have a better chance of being washed & dried by the time you’re finished cleaning the rest of your room. Having an extra set of sheets makes this step even easier, as you don’t have to wait for the laundry to remake your bed.

Eliminate the clutter

Before getting into the nitty gritty of cleaning, you’ll need to get rid of any clutter you have sitting around. This may be water bottles on your night stand, lotion you didn’t return to the bathroom, or laundry you haven’t folded. After putting away things that are laying out, you’ll be able to do things like dust & vacuum.

Upgrade your gear

Having cleaning gear you love will make cleaning that much more enjoyable! Treating yourself to a new vacuum cleaner, cleaning spray, or duster may be just what you need to get motivated to clean.

Air out your space

Opening up your windows is a great way to let in some fresh air! If weather isn’t permitting, or you want to go the extra mile when it comes to freshening the air, an air purifier will help. One with a HEPA filter can clean solid pollution like dust, smoke, mites, and pollen.

Make it smell as good as it looks

The best finishing touch for a clean room is lighting a candle to make your space smell as good as it now looks! For apartments and dorms, an open flame sometimes presents a challenge. A wax warmer is the perfect way to get long lasting fragrance without the flame!
