Today we are going to clean the most important room in your house – your bedroom!
Let’s go….
Day 4: Deep Clean the Bedroom
I don’t know about you guys, but the bedroom is my most favorite room in the house. After all, it is here that I rest my weary body after a hard day’s work. And, it’s practically impossible to relax in a cluttered environment.
The bedroom should be a calming and relaxing place, where you can unwind at the end of a busy day. And for this, it should be clean and clutter free.
Today, you are going to turn your bedroom into a calming and comfortable haven.
Important Note:
So, whatever you do, don’t get overwhelmed and work at your own pace. It doesn’t matter if you take a bit longer to complete the challenge.
Do whatever works for you – skip certain tasks, add others. But, just clean something!

Tips to remember during the 30 Day House Cleaning Challenge
- Before you begin, gather all the necessary tools and keep them ready. You could get yourself a cleaning caddy or just use a basket or box.
- Decide on a specific amount of time that you can/will spend cleaning and set a timer. Work as quickly as you can within this time and don’t get distracted. (Except if it’s an emergency of some kind!)
- Start cleaning from the top of the room and work your way down. This will prevent dust falling on surfaces that you have already cleaned.
- Work from one side of the room to the other side, in a systematic matter, so that you don’t miss any spots.
- When the timer goes off, stop working! You can catch up with what you have missed during your next cleaning session.
- Use checklists to track your progress and to ensure that you don’t miss out anything. Checklists are especially useful in instances where you cannot complete a task and need to reschedule it.
