How to Clean Your Room

·         If there is a really big mess to clean up, try tackling one corner at a time. If you only focus on one section at a time, it makes a big mess seem easier Just follow all the steps above for one corner, then repeat them for each corner individually.

·         If you pick up something like for example, a picture book that you haven't seen in a long time, you might get distracted by the book. If you start looking at the book for a while, you won't want to clean any more. It's a good idea to you keep your mind on cleaning, nothing else.

·         Put things you use often where it is easy to get to and things that you don't use often in more hard-to-reach spots. You're more likely to put things away when you're done if it's nearby.

·         Remove the largest items first when attacking the pile. Just a few of them and you will see a big improvement. Continue with the next largest items until you are left with the little stuff like change and pencils.

·         Once you pick something up, do not put it back down until you put it in its proper place.

·         Try not to waste too much time changing different CDs or going from album to album. Setting your iPod to shuffle will help you get done faster.

·         Wear comfy clothes like a t-shirt and tracksuits. Make sure you don't mind it getting slightly dusty or dirty.

·         Whenever you enter your room, make a promise to clean up at least a certain amount of items. You may pick up three pieces of dirty clothing, for example, or five books. This way, your room will become gradually cleaner without the appearance of too much work.

·         If you are dusting your ceiling fan, or any other area that is visibly dusty/dirty, do that before cleaning the floor in case anything lands on the floor. If you don't have static wipes for the dust, simply dampen a paper towel and wipe the dust with the damp towel, that will stop the dust from being thrown in the air.

·         Take a few pictures of your room when it was messy and then when it's really really clean. When you are done, compare the before and after. You will see how much work you did and you will feel more motivated to keep your room that way.

·         When stacking papers, try stapling or paperclipping them together to keep them from getting lost. You can also rubber band small objects together.

·         Definitely look out for sharp objects and put them somewhere you are not going to step on them.

·         Write down a list of all the areas, shelves, or things that need to be cleaned. Checking them off as you go will give you an extra burst of motivation. You can also set specific time limits for each item, so cleaning your room takes less time.

·         Schedule the breaks you will take, and never take a break you didn't schedule, so you won't lose time.

·         If you have a lot of things that you cannot decide whether to trash or keep, put them in a basket on your dresser or desk. Remove things as you need them. After fifteen days, anything you have not used is probably trash.

·         Treat yourself to some brand new bedding (can be bought cheaply in pound shops etc) - It can make your room look amazingly neat and tidy.

·         If you want, you could go around your room in a circular pattern while cleaning. Start from the left side and make your way to the right.

·         Try to find a friend or family member to clean with you. Cleaning is always faster and easier when you're cleaning together.

·         Cleaning your room and washing your curtains once a week will help keep it tidy.

·         Remove the doors from your closet. That way you will want to keep it nice and tidy. Another plus is that removing the closet doors will make your room look bigger.

·         When tackling clothes, have all the hangers you will need already setting out. You may want to organize your drawers or closet as you go along.

·         When you have a clean and tidy room you will be less stressed and more motivated to get other things done.

·         Try eating 1 m&m per thing you pick up, to make it fun.

·         When you don't feel like cleaning start with one half of the room then a break then get back to working on the other side but start with the easiest sides.

·         If you can't start cleaning, try imagining how clean your room will look afterwards.

·         Make your room what you want not what others want.

·         Try to put one thing away at a time and don't get to distracted.

·         Keep having fun and you will have the perfect room!
