Small Bedroom Maintenance

Cleaning experts always recommend doing a bunch of small cleaning tasks on a daily basis to prevent a larger mess. As wise as that decision is and how, in reality, it could be realistically accomplished, it's unlikely that most people practice it. But there are some tasks that I believe is worth fulfilling such as making your bed.

What a big difference such a small change can make! If you find yourself too exhausted or unmotivated to do a little tug and pull, you might want to consider using different sheets and comforter types. I use fitted sheets and a duvet cover for the comforter. That's it. No fitted sheets or anything else. It requires me to be more diligent in keeping my comforter clean, but I find that I'm more likely to be keep my duvet cover and comforter cleaner than I am to commit to a regular a daily bed maintenance.

Such a small act has the ability to transform your room, and it's a good habit to develop. When cleaning and organizing becomes second-nature, you're more prone to incorporating other cleaning and organizing tasks. And when your space looks clean and attractive, you develop an appreciation for it. It gives you an incentive to maintain it. What usually happens is that you begin neglecting a small area until that small area of mess expands to greater proportions. So the key is to maintain good habits to ensure that the only thing that spreads is more cleaning and organizing.
