Clean Room? 10 tips to help you get it clean and organized

I am going to give you guys 10 tips on how to clean and organize your room, so after the holiday rush ends you will know where to put everything.

10 Tips on a Nice Clean and Organized Room

1. Space-clear the room- Make three boxes/piles, one for keep (you can’t keep everything), one for donation, and one for trash. Take everything out of the room you are doing and put the items in the designated box
2. Mark containers-mark what is in there, when you put items away, so you don’t half to go looking through boxes to find a pen, when you could go to the box/container labeled pens and take one out.
3. Write it Down!-write it down where you put the stuff, maybe make up an inventory list, so you know how many you have
4. Keep Likes with Likes-put pens with other pens. Don’t put a pen with all of your nail polish, you wouldn’t look for it there.
5. Organize!-put items you use the most in front, or out in the open, so you can get to them quicker.
6. One Step At a Time-if you want to do your whole house, don’t expect to get it done in one day! Do a room a day.
7. Laundry. AHHHHH!!!-if possible get two tall laundry baskets put them where ever you put your laundry currently, then have one for lights and one for darks, that way you don’t need to separate them.
8. Do I Use This?-If you don’t know if you use this enough then put it into a box mark the box with the date and put this box somewhere for 1-3 months, if you don’t even remember that you put it there then donate it, if you need to take it out, then keep it.
9. Finished?-once everything is clean, give yourself some time alone i.e. read a book, take a bubble bath, have some tea. Just relax because you just accomplished a lot.
10. Keep it Up!-keep it organized, don’t let it get all messy again. If it does get messy again just space-clear it again.


I hope these tips help you keep your home/room clean throughout the upcoming holidays.
