9 . Give Your Bedroom the Deep-Clean It Needs

A messy bedroom can add to everyday stress, cause anxiety, and even affect your sleep. A clean, organized sleeping space, on the other hand, helps encourage relaxation and restfulness when you hit the sheets at night.     1    

Take out trash. Begin by taking care of simple, everyday messes.     2    Whether it's from tearing tags off clothing or late-night snacking, small trash can build up easily. Throw away any trash around the room first, then empty the wastebasket.

Clear surface clutter(杂物). Nightstands, dressers，and desks often become drop zones for small daily objects.     3     If you notice a daily habit, such as commonly picking up keys or putting on glasses, consider creating an organization system for these frequently-used items.

Wipe down windows and mirrors. Let the light shine through your windows without any dirty marks disrupting your view. Wipe down all the windows and mirrors in your bedroom.     4    Their tiny fingerprints are probably at the bottom of the mirrors.

    5    A bedroom that's spotless from top to bottom isn't possible without cleaning the floors. If you have hardwood floors, remove and vacuum(真空吸尘）any rugs before sweeping the entire floor. For carpeted bedrooms, clear out the dust with a vacuum. For either method, reach as far under the bed and heavy furniture as you can. If you have a lightweight side table or chair that can he moved easily, put it in the hallway as you clean your floors.

A．Vacuum or sweep.

B．Wipe surfaces clean.

C．Your sheets need to be washed and changed regularly.

D．If you have young kids in the house, be sure to wipe down low.

E．Take a few minutes to put these items back in their rightful homes.

F．If you don't already have a small wastebasket in your room, get one.

G．A few simple housekeeping tasks can create a more inviting bedroom.
