We examine the biggest problem in the bedroom and give practical tips on how to deal with them, from old clothes and finished jewellery to rare and unused items, we will guide you through the cleaning process and help you create a functional and comfortable bedroom.
DIRTY CLOTHES AND LAUNDRY PILES
Dirty clothes and piles of laundry are the main causes of clutter in the bedroom. To maintain a clean and organized sleeping area, implement a system to manage laundry and reduce visual clutter. Designate a special place for dirty clothes, such as a laundry basket or basket to complement your bedroom decor. Place it in an accessible place to keep dirty clothes out of sight and encourage family members to use them regularly. Create an efficient laundry routine by setting specific days for laundry and sorting clothes by colour and fabric type before washing. This saves time to fold and store. If your bedroom doesn’t have enough storage space for your clean clothes, use solutions like under-the-bed bins or sealed bags to maximize floor space during preparing your clothes.
OLD RECEIPTS AND PAPERWORK
Go through your closet every once in a while and collect any old receipts, bills and documents that may have accumulated. Organize these things and throw away what you don’t need, put important documents in a special place outside your bedroom, like a closet or a simple drawer. Discard receipts that are more than one month old, unless applicable for tax and filing purposes.
BROKEN OR UNUSED ELECTRONICS
When cleaning out your bedroom, take a complete inventory of all the electronics in the room. Identify broken or damaged items such as charging cables, damaged phone screens, or damaged laptops. These broken electronics not only create an unsightly sight but are also a safety concern. Also take a look at old electronics that are no longer in use. Dispose of broken electronics that cannot be properly repaired. Contact your local waste disposal company or electronics store for information on how to properly dispose of these items. Many communities offer e-waste recycling programs to ensure that these items are disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.
