However, the cleaning job isn't always equally difficult. Just perform the following steps, your task will become much simpler.

Steps

Part 1 of 5: Mental Preparation

1. 

   Play music with fun tunes. Before embarking on the task, choose an album or a collection of your favorite music to help you feel better. Fast-paced music increases inspiration during the cleaning process. Avoid soft and relaxing music. Choose music that will help motivate you instead of bringing back boredom and boredom. You can also listen to the radio (radio) while you do your work.

2. 

   
   
   In case listening to music doesn't keep you focused, listen to audiobooks, movies, videos or podcasts (similar to radio but with a more novel approach). Be careful in choosing the genre you want to listen to to avoid a distraction while cleaning up!
   • Natural sounds like flowing waterfall, campfire, waves, showers, and wind blowing can serve as background sounds to keep you focused on your task.
   • Do not waste too much time converting tracks or albums. Instead, you should set iPod to shuffle mode (shuffle) to speed up the cleaning process faster.

3. 

   
   
   Provide room light when cleaning starts. Open all your curtains to let natural light in. You can also open the window to allow better air circulation. When the sun's rays hit the room, it gives you vitality and energy to do your job.
   • In case when cleaning at night, turn on all the lights in the room. This will help you avoid drowsiness and sleepiness.

4. 

   
   
   Make a list of all areas, shelves, and other items that need cleaning. This step is optional, but it's still a good idea! Checking the list before getting to work is more motivating. In addition, you can also set a specified time to complete each task. Thus the cleaning time will be shortened.

5. 

   Set up a break time. It is a good idea to take some time to eat and be active. However, you should not focus too much on the break and forget about your unfinished work! Select the time needed to rest. The best time to pause work is after you've finished the job instead of unfinished it. For example, you could take a break after you've cleaned under your bed and before you start organizing your room.
   • Don't take a break while you're on the job. Use this to motivate you to do more!

6. 

   Reward yourself. You can choose a small gift for yourself after completing the job. It could be hanging out with friends, watching a movie with family, or enjoying a huge ice cream. Offer motivational rewards that will help you perform the task faster! However, do not choose a gift so attractive that you just want to get it done without doing the job thoroughly.

7. 

   Turn quests into games if you need more motivation. In case you can't push yourself to get started with cleaning, play a little game. You can try to see how many objects you can organize within ten minutes. Try to set a "score" record. Treat yourself to a few candies or a five-minute break.
   • You can choose a different method instead of playing the game. If you can't come up with the idea of ​​a game and need motivation, you can imagine a scene in which your character is cleaning the room. This method will help you better focus on that imaginary scene while cleaning up!

Part 2 of 5: Floor Cleaning

1. 

   Prepare the carton and / or bag to use. You will use them to store unused furniture. Such items should not be disposed of unless damaged. Instead, you can donate to the nursery or another charity.

2. 

   Clean up furniture in bed and rearrange it. Cleaning your bed will give you a feeling of accomplishment. Plus you'll have room to fold your clothes and rest. Imagine the bed is a clean, fragrant island in the chaotic ocean. Tidy up all the belongings on the bed to put in a corner of the room. Unscrew the bed holder and flip the bottom of the mattress upwards. This will increase the life of your mattress. Plus you will feel more comfortable lying on a mattress that has not been used much. Then lay new sheets and blankets on top of the mattress.
   • Spend more time rearranging your bed. Fix the sheet so that the corners hug the bottom of the mattress tightly. Fold blankets and curtains neatly. Gently shake the pillow. Put dirty bedding in a basket or washing machine.

3. 

   Arrange furniture in a suitable location. First you need to clean the objects on the floor. This way you can comfortably move around without getting caught in your legs. There is no need to clean the items, just put them back. Start with large items, like books and pillows, and then move on to smaller items, like pencils and other stationery.
   • First you should put the largest objects in one place. Just need to arrange a few things and you will see a much improved space. Continue with bulky furniture until some small items such as change and pencils are left.
   • Avoid distractions while cleaning things. You can find old photo albums from many years ago, but don't look at them while cleaning. If you want, you can view them after completing the quest as a small gift for yourself.

4. 

   Arrange bedroom reasonably. You should place frequently used items where they are easy to access and lesser used items in difficult to reach places. We often have a habit of throwing things away after using them if they are nearby and easy to obtain. Also, do not load things too much as it will take time and effort to find them.

5. 

   Pick up the clean clothes that are scattered around the room. Fold it and store it in the closet or hang it on a hook. Fold your clothes neatly and avoid wrinkling.
   • Place the storage basket right outside the bedroom. The best place to place the basket is in the hallway. Put all dirty clothes in the basket. Don't take them to the laundry until you are done cleaning your bedroom (as you may later find a dirty sock lying somewhere and need to be washed again).

6. 

   Remove dirty dishes from the room. If there are viscous liquid left in your cups and glasses, take them down the sink immediately to prevent liquid from spilling onto the floor.
   • In the event that furniture is found in another room, put them in a separate box and take them away after you are done cleaning your room.

Part 3 of 5: Arranging Furniture in Hidden Corner

1. 

   Clean items under the bed. Push all furniture out of the dark corner. You will be amazed to see them piled up in large piles, many of which are things you think have lost or forgotten their presence.
   • Divide into separate groups: rubbish, donations, secondhand store resale, items given to siblings (if any) or friends, furniture in a different location, and furniture in your own room. friend. It is easier if you first sort things into 2 groups (things to keep and throw away), and then sort 'throw away things' into small groups. In addition, you should also classify garbage into two types of recyclable or not.In addition, it is also necessary to clean hidden corners of the interior of the room such as desks, wardrobes, small tables, nightstands or bookshelves.

2. 

   Arrange piles of furniture in pieces, but leave the 'stuff to keep' pile. If items are piled too much, you need to divide them into small groups (clothes, shoes, books, etc.) before disposing of anything.
   • The first is garbage disposal. Throw non-recyclable waste in the bin, followed by recyclable waste in the recycling bin.
   • Now it's time to classify 'in another position'. If the items belong somewhere else in the house, put them back in the old place. If it belongs to another house, bring it back to a location you can remember.
   • Next is for 'gifted' items to siblings / friends. Bring the items to the siblings immediately (if you live with them, otherwise, group them together 'friends'). Place the group of 'friends' furniture somewhere else easy to remember.
   • Pick up donations and put them for sale in two separate bags.

3. 

   Gather items that need to be kept. Start by separating items (clothes, shoes, books, etc.) and placing them where appropriate. Don't continue to arrange those items too carefully or you will lose momentum. For example, placing all of the books on the same position as a bookshelf, but not rearranging the shelves. Continue moving other belongings - stuffed animals, photos, purses, shoes and more - until they are cleared.
   • Small tasks like these give you a sense of accomplishment. Not getting things organized at first can be frustrating and frustrating, and you can break it up into small, easy-to-handle chunks to increase your motivation to get your cleaning done.
   • When you find items that do not belong anywhere in the house, you can donate them, or arrange suitable storage. A room with less clutter is much better. If you do not have a need, ask your parents if there is room to store those items.

4. 

   
   
   Organize your wardrobe. Take all of the supplies out and load up the ones you find under the bed. Throw away or give away things you don't use. After you've cleaned the closet and kept the necessary items, put the shoes back in the closet, hang your clothes on hooks, and stow the furniture on the shelves (if the closet has a shelf).
   • You can retry items that have been forgotten for a long time. If they don't fit, or you don't like them anymore, pack in 'give away' items to make room for the clothes you love.
   • In case you don't have enough space to store shoes, you can buy shoe racks and tidy them up.

5. 

   
   
   Take out all the clothes in the closet and fold them neatly. The sorting of clothes plays a pretty important role during cleaning. Stowed clothes will help create more space for the closet and make opening and closing easier. Divide each type of clothing into a separate drawer.
   • Again, try items that you forgot or thought no longer fit. If you don't like it, or they don't fit your body, give it to someone else or resell it to a second hand store.
   • On the top drawer you can hold your underwear and socks, the next drawer for shirts, and your pants and skirts in the last.
   • Arrange the wardrobe according to your own habits. If you often open the last compartment to get your underwear, put them all in that drawer.

6. 

   
   
   Clean up any piles of furniture that you previously sorted. Once you've divided into separate groups, you can start stacking one at a time. You should only move one stack at a time; For example, you will feel more satisfied after you have sorted out all your clothes, and will be more motivated to continue cleaning.
   • First you need to throw away all the trash in the room. Get a large garbage bag and empty it. Do not throw it away until you have cleaned the entire room, as during cleaning you will find a lot of trash to throw away.
   • Dealing with gifts given to others. Put the items you want to give to your siblings in a box and leave them outside of the bedroom. While cleaning you can add a few other objects to the bin, so do not rush them away. However, you can make the room more airy by moving the furniture outside. If you have a few items of clothing or something to give to someone else, you can use the recipient's name paper and stick it on the item.
   • Keep essential items in the room. Fold clothes, stack books on shelves, toys in boxes, etc.

• Take pictures of the room before and after cleaning. When you finish the mission, compare the pictures before and after the cleaning. You will see the amount of work done and have more motivation to keep the room clean and beautiful.
• If you come across an item that you may need one day, ask yourself, "Have I used it in the last six months?" If the answer is 'No', put it in the gift box.
• Divide the room in your room and set a time limit. For example, a particularly indiscriminate corner can take half an hour to clean while a less cluttered one can take only ten minutes. Then try to finish before the allotted time and reward yourself if you do it earlier than the scheduled time!
