What is the most affective way to clean my room?

Question

I most always get distracted when I clean my room so I stop and do something else. My room is also really messy, like I can hardly walk in it and when I do walk in it I feel like I have no were to step and that the only option to get were I need to go in my room is to step on my stuff. What would be the most fun way to clean my room and the most oragnized way?

Thank you so much (in advanced)

Answer 1

Start with a three foot square section (OK, use a meter if you're a Euro or Asian). Just clean it. Take a break, but never let anything intrude again in that space. Move to its neighboring space. Take a break if you want, but never let anything intrude again in that space. Repeat until everything is in its place, and everything unused or unwanted is recycled or consigned to burial in a landfill.

Once you have your room in order, set a timer for three minutes every day and clean and organize it furiously. The three minute routine can work wonders, especially when company is coming over. And it only takes three minutes. It will save you from the three-foot massive effort routine having to be mandated again.

For shoes, cloths, etc.: my wife follows a rule: when she buys something new, she discards something she no longer wears.

It's a good system.

Answer 2

Put on some music to make the time go buy quicker.

Keep in mind that once your room is really clean, you will enjoy it a lot more.

I actually enjoy cleaning (weird...I know) so I think I can give you some good advice.  The first thing I would do is try to get everything out...take stuff out of your closet and drawers and from under the bed.  Then you should go through things...old clothes you don't wear, stuff you don't want, throw away all your trash, and take your dishes back to the kitchen.  Next, start in one area and work your way around the whole room.  For example, you can organize your dresser or closet...you'll be amazed how fast things start to find their original places again!!  Once everything is put away, you can do your basic cleaning stuff like dusting and vacumming.  

Have fun with it...listen to your favorite CD and just dive in...you'll be so much happier when everything is really clean!

Good luck and have fun!

Answer 6

The smaller the room, the less work you have to do.  The first step to cleaning is putting on your favourite music.  Music gives us rythym and puts us in a good mood.  It takes your mind of the cleaning process and helps pass the time.

Second step to cleaning anything is tidying up.  Start with whatever is on the floor.  Seperate your clothes, clean stuf is hung up or folded and put away, dirty stuff is thrown in the hamper or stuffed into the washwer for immediate action (better).  Anything you find our of place, put it where it should be.

Once that's done, remove your sheets and shake them outside somewhere to get rid of the dead skin cells and hairs (yuck).  Fold them up and place them somewhere when they can air out.  Hanging them outside will give them a fresh smell.  The pillows too.

Next, vacume the entire room, under each piece of furniture.  Then take a good dust cloth and dust everything in sight.  Make sure to shake your duster outside every so often or else you will only manage to move the dust from one place to the next.  Once you've dusted, you might want to spray some dusting spray, like Pledge onto a clean dust cloth and do the surfaces.  It will give your room a lovely clean smell.  

If your floors are bare with throw rugs, you will want to shake out your rugs in fresh air and let them sit outside a while before laying them down again.  Wash your floor with warm water and the appropriate detergent.

If weather permits, leave your windows open while cleaning to give it a good airing out.

Trust me, once you're finished you will be delighted with the results.

Answer 7

Put some music on while you are cleaning your room. I would say like fast music so you could probably follow the beat while your cleaning. Music sometimes keeps people's minds focussed on what they are doing, so try that.

Answer 8

listen to some music.

write a list of places you want to clean

ex: drawers

closet

floor

etc.

take a break every hour or so.

Answer 9

Listen to your Ipod while cleaning!!

Sining and dancing always distracts me! ;)

Answer 10

Grab a trash bag (like one of those big black ones..no pun intended)

And turn the music up loud. And just throw everything out. Does not matter what it is. If you don't use it more than once a week then throw it out.  

Answer 11

get some friends and play around while you clean!!

Answer 12

read this book once how to become organized and they had a section on cleaning.  it said pick one area and work in a clockwise or countrer clock wise direction just cleaning as you go around the room.

I have tried it and it works. dont work nonstop till its done but do some cleaning then take a break . then return to it . eventually it will all be cleaned.

Answer 13

Answer 14

Answer 15

Turn on your music as loud as it can go. Put your favorite songs and start singing and dancing as you clean. Before you start cleaning bring up all your supplies ( so you don't get distracted on your way to get them.) You should also bring up 2 bags for trash, label one Garbage and the other recycling  and as you go through your things you can deiced whats trash and whats not. Other things that you might not use and are still usable you can give away to a fundrasier or something for the needy.  Things that you keep just put aside and once your through with the trash you can find a place for it. But you should do this on a day when your not busy at all and you have at leats a couple of hours to work on your room. Wake up early put on a tee-shirt and some shorts (you don't have to shower) and just start as soon as possible.

BTW bring alot of water, you'll get tired, and next time don't wait to long to clean your room it will get worse and worse everyday.

Answer 16

If you clean up the little messes as you make them.

There won't be a big mess to clean up. (self-discipline.)

Answer 17

everyone keeps tellin you music, music music, well, if you are anything like me music will make you stop and dance and sing to yourself in the mirror or the dogs or just put you in the mood to call someone and distract the c**p out of you i asked sort of the same question and best i have heard so far is work 20 mins, take ten min break, and continue in that pattern do one thing at a time(ex. dresser under the bed, closet...etc.) you wont feel overwhelmed as much with your tiny breaks and from what i understand every little bit that you get done in that 20 mins, starts to show a big improvement after a couple rounds! haha that was some advice i got hope it all helps lemme know what else you may hear lol jk

Answer 20

1st of all get some music pumping! music always gets me moving! then start from 1 side and work your way around the room. i tell my kids to start by picking up all the clothes on the bed and floor. then any trash pick it up, and then organize your room as best as you can because if you can find things quickly it wont be hard to find and wont be back in a mess again so soon. good luck!!
