Whether you’re leaving for College or you just want to shut your nagging parent up, a clean room is nice and I’m going to walk you through how I clean it.
I know you’re too busy fighting crime, saving the world, and rescuing a cat from a tree, but wash the blood of your enemies off of you and use these steps to get your room clean god dammit.
Step 1: Get the hell up.
You always tell yourself that you’ll clean your room in an hour or the next day but that’s not going to help at all. I know it’s overused but it’s true: you won’t make any progress and you will get nagged even more by the ‘rents.
Step 2: Separate items into groups then take on one thing at a time.
I usually just put trash in one spot, clothes in another, and then things that I want to keep in the last spot, then I usually sort the laundry so I can throw them in the washer during a break; also it’s so much easier to pick up a ton of garbage at once rather than pick up one piece at a time.
Step 3: Take breaks.
I cannot stress this enough, after every 30 minutes take about a 5-10 minute break because you feel like you can clean your whole entire room all in one go (especially if you have coffee in your system) just take a break… trust me.
Step 4: Sweep/vacuum.
You don’t want filthy crumbs all over the floor, nasty.
Step 5: Do your laundry.
If you’re going to college or you’re living with your parents you need to learn how to do your laundry, it isn’t that hard. Your ‘rents aren’t going to do your laundry for the rest of your life. Remember to separate the clothes by whites, lights, and darks.
Step 6: Clean your windows.
Unless you don’t have any, then go and twerk somewhere.
Step 7: Freshen your room up.
This is the best part because you can wop and spray air freshener all over the place like it’s your job.
Now that your room is clean go back out and be a bad ass mother fucker and take a shot of vodka (or if you’re underage a nice Capri Sun will do)
