If you make your bed daily, change your bedding weekly and follow a regular vacuuming and dusting regime, you might be under the impression that your work in the bedroom is done. But don't be fooled, there are extra bedroom cleaning tips that yous hould be carrying out on a regular basis to properly flush out nasties. Yes, that's right - your bedroom should be your relaxation haven, but did you know it is also a haven for allergens such as dust, dust-mites, mould spores and more? Yikes!
Don't worry, a deep clean will have you breathing easier and sleeping easier too. It's also a project that can be completed in a single afternoon (unless you need to declutter).
Before you get started, ask yourself: when was the last time you put your pillows in the wash, or steam cleaned your carpet? Can you remember the last time you vacuumed your mattress and behind heavy furniture? If you're struggling to remember, it could mean that it's time you cleaned your room.
We know that harsh chemicals and store-bought cleaning sprays can often contribute to indoor air pollution, so resist the urge to employ an arsenal of disinfectants, or worse, start mixing cleaning products.
Here's how to deep clean your room.
