How to spring clean the bedroom – top to bottom guide for really deep cleaning and organising the bedroom.
I don’t hide the fact that I just love a good spring clean.
Ditching all the unwanted clutter, giving rooms a thorough clean so that everything sparkles, putting everything back neat and looking good it really makes me happy.
So this week we’re continuing our spring cleaning theme and heading up to the bedroom.
Again you’ll need to set aside either a morning or an afternoon to give the bedroom a thorough spring clean – if you’re doing kids rooms get them helping out to.
As always when spring cleaning, get the windows open wide and the music loud, it just makes cleaning so much more uplifting and enjoyable.
