Between dirty clothes, clutter, and other waste, cleaning your room might be a trouble in your to-do list. And you do not need to worry!

Here are 14 pro tips and tricks to help you clean and organize your room.
Steps
Common Questions: Cleaning and Organizing Bedrooms
How can I clean and organize fast?
Start by picking up loose items on the floor or bed and put them back where they belong. Then, focus on tackling one area at a time: floor, bed, desk, closet, etc. For faster cleanup in the future, try to keep your space relatively decluttered. That way, you’ll only need to wipe down surfaces and vacuum to clean up.[18]
How can you organize your room on a budget?
Reuse and repurpose things you already own to get organized. For example, shoeboxes make great dividers for dresser drawers. Buy cheap plastic bins and store items there. Then, label the bins and stack them neatly in your closet. Baskets and fabric storage bins are also cheap options to declutter and get organized.[19]
How do I keep my room clean and organized?
Start by doing a deep cleaning. Then, make a cleaning schedule for yourself and stick to it. Decluttering, wiping down surfaces, vacuuming, and doing laundry weekly can help you stay on top of a lot of basic cleaning in just a few minutes. The more you stay on top of basic cleaning tasks, the faster it will go![20]
How do you organize your bedroom if you don't have a lot of space?
Use bookshelves and floating shelves to take advantage of vertical space. Under the bed storage is a great way to get organized without using any space at all. Hang a shoe organizer on the back of your closet door and stick command hooks on the wall for your belts, bags, scarves, and jewelry.[21]
Tips
- Dust off ceiling fan blades with an old pillowcase—that way, the dust will collect in the case instead of scattering around.[17]Thanks
