How can you clean your room?

In: Cleaning [Edit categories]

Answer:

Hi there!

Guess your parents just put your stuff from the living room
on your bed or just chuck it on your dressing table or desk?
Well here is the answer to clean your room.

1. let some light in
2. make your bed
3. put all the stuff everywhere in your room where you
don't know where to put on your bed.
4. take out everything from under your bed.
5. sort out the things on your bed. if you think "oh, this was the certificate my teacher gave me from a maths site", CHUCK IT OUT!
6. put everything you don't want to charity or a donation box.
7. have a color theme in your bedroom.
8. separate school/work sheets from your casual weekends.
9. you need some space to be "you", so thing about what you like.
Remember this may all not happen very quickly, so take your time.

And soon, you will have a beautiful bedrooom.

Organizing

Clothes_end_up_on_the_floor?_Many_people_clean_and_clean_and_clean_their_room_but_it_still_looks_too_packed_and_dirty_or_things_just_magically_end_up_on_the_floor_and_you_just_don't_know_how_it_got_there.">Clothes end up on the floor? Many people clean and clean and clean their room but it still looks too packed and dirty or things just magically end up on the floor and you just don't know how it got there.

This will be your best friend! Make sure it's pretty. Or if your closet is big enough and it doesn't bother you, your could get a simple plastic nice colored one load basket at THE DOLLAR STORE! It's not expensive. But for those people whose closet is small or there's no room in it for a basket, then hampers are PERFECT! Of course they're about 5-10 dollars, but that isn't that bad, and it's worth it. Get one that fits in a corner and has colors that match your walls or decor.

EVERY_TIME_you_change_your_clothes,_PUT_THEM_INTO_THE_BASKET/HAMPER!_It's_so_simple._Before_the_basket_gets_too_full_or_to_the_top,_wash_it._Well_that's_for_clothes,_basically_keep_them_off_the_floor._Even_doing_just_this_makes_your_room_look_bigger.">EVERY TIME you change your clothes, PUT THEM INTO THE BASKET/HAMPER! It's so simple. Before the basket gets too full or to the top, wash it. Well that's for clothes, basically keep them off the floor. Even doing just this makes your room look bigger.

Bed_always_a_mess?_Okay,_when_you_don't_make_your_bed,_not_only_is_it_ugly_but_it_makes_your_room_look_nasty!_SO_if_you_have_a_lot_of_pillows_and_you_sleep_by_yourself_in_a_small_bed,_you_really_only_need_2_and_maybe_1_throw_pillow_for_looks._Keep_pillows_off_the_floor._When_you_wake_up,_make_the_bed._If_you_have_no_time_then_at_least_make_sure_that_there_are_NO_blankets,_pillows_or_sheets_on_the_floor!">Bed always a mess? Okay, when you don't make your bed, not only is it ugly but it makes your room look nasty! SO if you have a lot of pillows and you sleep by yourself in a small bed, you really only need 2 and maybe 1 throw pillow for looks. Keep pillows off the floor. When you wake up, make the bed. If you have no time then at least make sure that there are NO blankets, pillows or sheets on the floor!

Shoes?_Keep_them_in_your_closet_or_under_your_bed._If_you're_in_a_hurry,_then_at_least_kick_them_into_a_corner_or_against_your_wall._That_way_no_one_trips_on_them._For_shoe_organizers,_the_worst_problems,_I_personally_think_tennis_shoes_are_awesome_to_wear_(converse,_vans,_etc.)_BUT_LOOK_UGLY_SITTING_ON_THE_FLOOR,_OR_ON_A_SHELF_IN_THE_CLOSET!_Racks_are_hideous_but_what_to_do_with_them?">Shoes? Keep them in your closet or under your bed. If you're in a hurry, then at least kick them into a corner or against your wall. That way no one trips on them. For shoe organizers, the worst problems, I personally think tennis shoes are awesome to wear (converse, vans, etc.) BUT LOOK UGLY SITTING ON THE FLOOR, OR ON A SHELF IN THE CLOSET! Racks are hideous but what to do with them?

Okay,_one_thing,_keep_the_boxes_to_your_shoes._When_you're_done_wearing_them,_put_them_into_the_box_and_then_under_your_bed._If_they_don't_fit_under_your_bed,_put_them_on_the_floor_or_a_shelf_in_your_closet_stacked_with_all_the_other_shoe_boxes_that_are_there._Yes,_it's_ugly_until_you_get_a_shelf_that_has_a_door._OKAY_I_have_15_pairs_of_shoes,_including_7_pairs_of_converse,_2_vans,_1_pair_of_boots,_3_pairs_of_etnies,_and_2_pairs_of_DC's._(yes_I_skate)">Okay, one thing, keep the boxes to your shoes. When you're done wearing them, put them into the box and then under your bed. If they don't fit under your bed, put them on the floor or a shelf in your closet stacked with all the other shoe boxes that are there. Yes, it's ugly until you get a shelf that has a door. OKAY I have 15 pairs of shoes, including 7 pairs of converse, 2 vans, 1 pair of boots, 3 pairs of etnies, and 2 pairs of DC's. (yes I skate)

WHAT_I_DO?_Many_people_don't_have_a_long_shelf_in_their_closet,_but_I_do._What_I_do_is_have_each_pair_of_my_shoes_in_order_in_a_row_and_to_hide_them,_I_have_CURTAINS!_After_I_get_the_pair_of_shoes_I_want,_then_I_pull_the_small_curtain_over_them_and_close_my_closet._The_curtain_is_purple_and_is_thick,_and_my_feet_don't_smell_BUT_I_keep_a_bottle_of_Febreeze_in_my_closet_and_spray_my_shoes_and_clothes,_occasionally.">WHAT I DO? Many people don't have a long shelf in their closet, but I do. What I do is have each pair of my shoes in order in a row and to hide them, I have CURTAINS! After I get the pair of shoes I want, then I pull the small curtain over them and close my closet. The curtain is purple and is thick, and my feet don't smell BUT I keep a bottle of Febreeze in my closet and spray my shoes and clothes, occasionally.

Put the night table under a mirror which is by your bedroom door. That way, if you need a touch up, then you can just reach for it on your way out. It's also a good way so you don't forget something. Then the night before, put it on the table and then in the morning you remember it! And for something extra, keep a little cute lamp on the table.

Put them all together on a little table or shelf and it looks very pretty, something else that looks nice is to have a cool looking lamp next to it (lava lamp, or those lamps that are shaped like hearts or pandas, or something). If you have nail polish, keep that all in one place, unless you have like a big collection, then put it in a separate drawer next to your make up.

If Your Room Stinks

I can't change that for you, so something else you could do is keep your window open while your door is closed. If you're very private and have peeping toms, then get sheer curtains. That way, you can see out but they can't see in (I would consider getting a nice bright color for the sheers like yellow, or a lime green). This also is a good way to save electricity because of light, and fans, and air conditioning.

If You Want To Make It Homey

Stay away from those red, black, navy blue, dark green, maroony colors! I personally like black but it is depressing for everything to be that color, my room is a light purple. Making your room a light color makes it seem bigger which is great. Not only that but if you have a bright light happy color, you can use dark AND bright stuff in your room, which makes it nice.
