I clean houses, I start from top to bottom. Pick up clothes books ,etc. that needs to be picked up. Dust furniture that needs to be dusted then make bed then vacuum..
Put on your favorite music. I helps make the cleaning go faster.
I agree with glorious angel - then join fly lady www.flylady.com to keep it that way. She divides the whole house up into zones and sends you "missions" to do every day.
Put on your favorite music.
Start with one spot-if it's your bedroom, the closet. Put clean clothes away, dirty clothes where they belong-a hamper, etc.
Pick things up off the floor.
Everything should have a place--a place for everything, and everything in it's place.
Declutter the surfaces-top of your dresser, desk, etc.
Dust and declutter, put things away, where they belong.
Make your bed-if it's been a week-change the sheets, and make the bed.
Run the vacuum in your room.
If you have a can of air freshner, use some in your room. And, in fact, while you are cleaning, open up your window in your bedroom. The fresh air will be good for everything in the room. Honest.
When all done, enjoy! And keep it clean, please. Just pick up/declutter every day before going to bed. Makes it nice to get up to a clean room in the mornings! Take care.
