There’s something about deep cleaning your home that gives it this refreshed airy feeling. Dusting and polishing neglected surfaces seems to breathe new life into them once again.
The bedroom is one of those rooms that’s often disregarded. We tend to focus on parts of the home that guests actually see. So, it’s important to take some time out for deep cleaning the bedroom.
I’m going to share a bedroom cleaning plan that you can use. There’s also a free printable available that you can download and add to your home management binder.

Round up all the cleaning products you’ll use to clean your room. You will need:
Tidy the bedroom by picking up clutter off surfaces. Fold and put away clean clothing. Throw dirty clothes into the hamper.
Collect items that don’t belong to the bedroom and place them in the box or basket. When you’re done cleaning, take them to their rightful homes. Also, remove anything from the room that you no longer love or use. If it’s in good condition, place it in the box for donation and if it’s broken or worn, add it to the garbage.
Empty the trash into the garbage bag and wash the bin with hot soapy water. Rinse and set it aside to dry. In the future, keep the trash can clean by lining it with a plastic bag.
Strip the bed and take down the curtains. Launder the sheets and curtains while you finish cleaning. If they can not be washed, set them aside to be taken to the dry cleaner.
Remove picture frames from the walls. Begin dusting the room from top to bottom, working in one direction all the way around. Clean the ceiling, crown molding, light fixtures, ceiling fan, around the windows, walls, corners and baseboards. Use a long-handled duster for hard to reach areas.
Clean picture frames using the micro-fiber cloth. After dusting, spray glass cleaner onto the cloth and wipe the glass in the frames. Rehang them.
Wipe the windows and mirrors with glass cleaner and a cloth. Then, clean any other glass surfaces and decorative items in the room. Remove lamp shades and clean the bulb and base of each.
Use Lysol wipes or a damp cloth to clean light switches and door handles.
Finally, use another micro-fiber cloth and furniture polish to clean the wooden furniture. (Try this homemade furniture polish recipe.)
If there’s no carpet present, mop and then, vacuum. If you do have carpets, sprinkle baking soda onto them and let it sit for a few hours to absorb funky smells. Then, use your vacuum to remove it and any dust.
Be sure to clean under and behind furniture, if you can. Use the crevice tool on the vacuum cleaner to remove any build-up of dust along the baseboards.
Replace the trash can, hang curtains and make the bed. Spray the room with air freshener.
Now, that you’re done deep cleaning your bedroom, grab the box or basket with items to be taken to other rooms. Place them where they belong and stash items to be donated in your car so you don’t forget them.
