We are about 1/2 way through ABFOL’s “Daily Cleaning 101”. Today I am sharing my 3rd step to “keeping a clean home”, the bedrooms. This is probably the easiest step you will do. It only takes a few minutes each morning and can make a huge impact on your wellbeing throughout the day. Clean house = less stress.

If you missed them, below are links to steps 1 & 2.
Step 1 – The Kitchen [5]
Step 2 – The Floors [6]
Step 3 – “Shower your bedrooms with love”
- Make your bed as SOON as you wake up. Teach your kids to do the same.
- Put dirty laundry/pj’s in the hamper (Each bedroom should have a hamper).
- Organize the top of your nightstand & dresser daily (in each bedroom).
* This step should only take 5 minutes – if you are efficient.

If you have extra time…
Vacuum – If you have the time during the day, do a quick vacuuming through the bedrooms.
Empty trash cans – Each bedroom should have its own trash can. If they don’t, there will surely be trash where it doesn’t belong.
Dust – Wipe down dressers with a damp cloth. I use Basic H in a sprayer with a damp cloth to dust. This is not necessary to do on a daily basis but if it only takes a minute, why not do it?
(All 3 extra steps should take 15 minutes max)
