If you don’t have a bin in your room then get one! They only cost a few pounds or ask your mum if she has a spare one you can use. But don’t put food or items that will start to get smelly in it, take them straight to your kitchen instead.


Put Your Clothes Away

I’m sure you’ve been told on many occasions that your floor is not a wardrobe. It may be annoying when mums and dads are right but in this case they are. It’s much easier to keep on top of mess if you put clean clothes away immediately and place dirty things in a washing basket.


Clear the Clutter

It’s easy to accumulate things in your room and house in terms of home cleaning that don’t belong there like friends CDs or books, crockery and glasses or your brother’s toys, so make sure you remove everything that’s not yours and put it in its proper place.


Give Unwanted Items to Charity

Vacuum your floor at least once a week to stop dirt and debris from building up. Dust mites aggravate allergies so vacuum more often if you have asthma or eczema to keep flare ups under control. Vacuuming is the most important part of cleaning especially in terms of domestic cleaning.


Reduce the Dust

Control the clutter in your room and it will be less dusty. The more bits and bobs you have out on display the more you’ll have to clean. TVs and laptops are especially good at attracting dust so wipe them clean every week.

It really is that easy to clean your room and your parents will be grateful that you’re keeping your space tidy. Who knows, they may even up your allowance as a reward!
