Here, we’re sharing our best tips for spring cleaning your bedroom, including when to begin, what you\u2019ll need, how to do it, and a handy checklist to consult. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here, we gathered a list of items you should have on hand when prepping for a deep clean this spring:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve never spring cleaned and you don\u2019t know where to begin, we’ve got seven tips to get you started. Follow this advice to learn about what items in the bedroom to clean, how to clean them, and the order in which you should clean them for a spotless room in no time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Go through everything in your bedroom and decide what you want to keep and what you want to toss. (Here’s a primer on the KonMari method<\/a> to help you get started on this process.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, grab a box or a bin and collect what doesn\u2019t belong in your bedroom and put it aside. Grab a second box (or a few) and gather decor, clothing, and other items you\u2019d like to donate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure you label your containers so you don\u2019t confuse them. Lastly, take a garbage bag and collect all the trash in your bedroom, including miscellaneous items you no longer want and are too used to donate. Throw it all out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every bedroom item should have a home. After removing what you no longer want, decide where the remaining items should go and put them in their rightful spot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This way, you start off your spring cleaning with a fresh slate, making it a less overwhelming project to tackle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Linens like curtains and drapes collect lots of dust, and bedding can hold tons of bacteria. Both of these can aggravate allergies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So it\u2019s important to wash, clean, or change out these bedroom items more often than you think. For example, you should wash your sheets every one to two weeks. (Check out our guide to cleaning every type of bedding<\/a> to learn more.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dust inside your bedroom can cause allergy symptoms to flare up\u2014and allergies can disrupt sleep. Starting from the top of your bedroom to the bottom (to minimize the spread of dust over areas already cleaned) you should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019ve dusted these areas, you can then remove your mattress cover and put it into the wash with the rest of your bedding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Using your disinfectant spray, wipe down your nightstand, desk, light switch, drawer handles, doorknobs, and remote control to prevent the spread of germs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you find stains or hard-to-remove buildup, bring out the all-purpose cleaner to get rid of them. For wood surfaces, make sure you use wood polish to preserve them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If your mattress is relatively new and in good shape, simply vacuum the crevices to remove crumbs and small dirt particles. If your mattress has some age to it and a few stains, before vacuuming it, generously sprinkle baking soda all over to deodorize it<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also use simple products such as rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, laundry detergent, citrus-based household cleaners, and dish soap as mattress stain removers<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have carpet (or rugs) in your bedroom, sprinkle baking soda all over the ground to deodorize it. Once you\u2019ve let the baking soda sit for some time, vacuum the carpet to remove it and any crumbs, dust, or dirt particles within it. Don\u2019t forget to vacuum under your bed too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have hardwood or tile floors, you can still use the vacuum to remove crumbs, dust, and dirt. Right after, however, you’ll want to use a mop and a floor cleaner to wipe away any dirt the vacuum wasn\u2019t able to clean up. Once again, don\u2019t forget to sweep under your bed! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Time for a new mattress?

This can lead to better sleep and help you feel refreshed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, sometimes spring cleaning isn’t enough. Certain bedroom items will reach the end of their lifespan, and you’ll need to replace them to get quality sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, the average mattress lifespan<\/a> is seven to 10 years, while pillows may only last two or three years before needing to be replaced. If it’s been a while since you’ve swapped out some of these items\u2014and you’re not getting restful sleep like you used to\u2014it may be time to consider getting new ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’ve decided it’s time to toss your old mattress, sheets, pillows, or other bedding products, check out Saatva’s wide range of high-quality mattresses<\/a>, bedding<\/a>, and more.
