How do you keep your room clean?
Question:I clean my room every week..and every week it takes an hour.. and i dont know how it got so messy! any tips on how to keep it cleaner?
Answers:
we all have problems in organizing our rooms and making it neat and clean.
a little discipline, 15 minutes, cleaning aids and containers to store your things can help you with your problems.
ask yourself what is the purpose of the room?
if you if it's dual purpose maybe you should have divide into zones, no matter how small your room is.
tackle one zone at a time, making sure that everything has its own place. group things according to your use. store it in containers. clear plastic bins are superb because you can see things inside without opening the container. but whatever works for you is fine. just make sure to label it so you know where it is.
use you timer and set it for 15 minutes. i read a book for organization that you can accomplish anything under 15 minutes. and it's true especially when it comes to cleaning and organizing. if you notice that 15 minutes is up and you haven't finish then your holding on to things you shouldn't.
cleaning aids such as disposable cleaning wipes, duster and mop are your friendly tools to make your room clean. place them in a bin so you can easily get them when you need to clean. a box of disposable gloves won't hurt you either. after cleaning you can just dump them in trash. that's the beauty of disposable clenaing aids.
make sure you have a trash can inside your room and don't throw any food in it.
try nor to eat inside the room, it will make your room smell like food (i don't think you wnat that kind of smell before you sleep or if you have guests)
set aside 15minutes of your time daily to spruce up you room so you won't spend hours and hours cleaning it.
good luck.
I think you are meaning neater. We bought a couple matching wood like cabinets, we put our clothes in it.
I dnt know..but i do know i need these 2 extra points!
THANKS!!!

Well organaztion is the key.When you get things out put them back as soon as you are done with them.Organize your closet and drawer and as you get clean laundry put it away or hand it up right away.You should have a place for everything in your room.Don't put stuff under the bed.Have a trash can and a cloths basket in your room.
Keep it organized by spending a few extra minutes a day putting things away after you use them.
The key is to make sure everything has a place and to put it back there after you use it. If you do this through your entire house it should only take an hour to clean the whole thing, rather than an hour for just your room.
