WEEK #4 TASK – The Master Bedroom:
This week we are cleaning and organizing our master bedrooms. I challenge you to clean your room from top to bottom, organizing it, and creating a master bedroom sanctuary. This space should be a place for relaxation, not stress. We are NOT cleaning out the closet this week… only the bedroom. Have fun!
WEEK #4 CHECKLIST: (Print out the checklist HERE)
1. PREPARE: Find 5 laundry baskets/boxes and label them with a piece of paper…
- Keep – Everything that stays in the room.
- Trash – Things that need tossed in the trash (or recycled).
- Donate – Everything that you are donating or giving to someone else.
- Clothes – ALL clothes that stay in the room.
- Other – Everything that goes to another room in the house.
2. SORT: Concentrating on one hot spot at a time, empty the space completely.
- Under the bed – Pull everything out and sort it into the baskets. This space should be empty!
- Dresser drawers – Pull out all of the clothes and empty onto the bed. Go through each piece of clothing. Does it fit? Do you still wear it? If not, donate it! Fold and place the clothes back into the drawers (like items together).
- Night Stands – Empty out the drawers and the top. Clean it off, wipe it down, and only put back the necessities back!
- Dresser top – Clean it off, going through each item thats on there. Sort though using the “basket system”. Wipe down and put back only necessary items. This is a clutter hot spot. This is the first area people notice when walking into the bedroom! Try to keep it clear of the clutter.
- All other hot spots in the room – Using the “basket system” go through whats left of the room.
3. CLEAN:
- Clean the windows, blinds & mirrors
- Wipe down doors, baseboards, doorknobs and switch plates
- Dust Dressers & nightstands
- Vacuum
- Wash Bed Linens, curtains, bedskirt
- Vacuum mattress/flip mattress
- Wash pillows, sheets & comforters
- Clean ceiling fan & lighting
4. ORGANIZE: Once its all clean, you are ready for the fun part! Its time to organize! This is an important step if you want to keep your room clean. Use baskets and bins to place “like” items together.
