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. Makes it so much better.

- window cleaner – you can make your own natural window cleaner this leaves glass streak free.

How to spring clean the bedroom
- Empty the wardrobes and draws. Sort through your clothes and belongings, get rid of items no longer wanted. Pack away your cold weather clothing and shoes and store until next winter. Vacuum and clean the inside of the wardrobes and draws. Unpack warm weather clothing and shoes and arrange in the clean cupboards. Here’s how to fold your clothes like they do in a store.
- Declutter and clean on tops of wardrobes
- Declutter and clean all surfaces
- Clean door handles and light switches – you might want to do this with a little tea tree infused soapy water – soak cloth in the water and wring out until only just damp.
- Vacuum light shades
- Windows – take down and clean the curtains (as per washing instructions), vacuum and wipe blinds, vacuum window vents, wash the windows and clean the windowsills.
- Clean mirrors – we use our natural window cleaner for this job.
- Vacuum under and behind all furniture.
- Vacuum and wipe down all woodwork – doors, skirting boards etc.
- Wash and store winter bedding – bring out lighter spring/summer bedding.
- Vacuum mattress and all parts of the bed.
- Make up bed with clean summer – light weight bedding.
- Vacuum the floor.
