Clean Your Bedroom in Just 15 Minutes

Don’t let your bedroom become a storage room. Learn how to clean your bedroom in just 15 minutes with these quick tips.

Your bedroom is supposed to be a sanctuary, a place where we can relax and let the chaos of the day wear away.

Your bedroom cannot be a very relaxing place if it’s filled with items from other rooms in the house.

We are all pretty busy, therefore we may not have a lot of time to commit to cleaning our bedrooms. After all, we’re the only one who sees them, right?

But don’t we all deserve some relaxation and peace at the end of the day?

And how can we have that relaxation and peace in a cluttered space?

Don’t let your bedroom become a storage room. In this post, you’ll learn how to keep your bedroom a relaxing space and a room you want to return to. Just follow these easy tips on how to clean your bedroom in just 15 minutes.

How to Clean Your Bedroom in Just 15 Minutes

Gather your supplies

First, gather your supplies. Gathering the supplies first thing will keep you from getting distracted while you clean your bedroom. Here’s what you need:

Pick up dirty clothes

Right now all you need to be concerned with is gathering all the dirty clothes around the room and placing them in the hamper. Don’t worry about sorting them right now; that can be done at laundry time.

Gather clean clothes

Pick up any clean clothing that may be lying around the room on chairs or dressers. Fold them and put them away or hang them up in your closet. If there’s a significant amount of clothing, just fold them and place them on your bed after you make it. Remind yourself to put them away before bedtime.

Pick up the trash

Focus on obvious trash here. This isn’t the time to sort through old magazines or closets and drawers. Save those items for when you have more time to do a major decluttering.

Make the bed

I know sometimes we think that there’s no point in making the bed because we’re just going to get back in it in just a few hours anyway. Making the bed leaves a room looking less cluttered and more inviting. It helps keep things clean and instantly polishes a room. Doesn’t it feel great to cross something off your to-do list as soon as you wake up?

Gather misplaced items

Pick up all the items that belong in other rooms and put them in your box or basket. Don’t worry about sorting through them right now and taking them to their proper places. If you’re like me you’ll get distracted and start cleaning the other rooms. Stay focused on the bedroom for now.

I love this basket for carrying clutter items! It makes it so much easier to carry items from the room. And it’s super cute, too!

Straighten up surfaces

You may have items sitting around your room that belong in the bedroom but are out of place. Go ahead and straighten them now. If there are a lot of items scattered all over the room, place them in a basket and plan to put them in their proper place later. While you’re moving things around, dust off the surfaces.

Vacuum or Sweep

This is not the time to be moving furniture to sweep and/or vacuum. Give the room a quick sweep to remove surface dirt quickly. Vacuum the carpet or area rugs if you have any.

Don’t forget about the items you placed in your basket. If you have a few extra minutes put those items away now so that they do not become a huge pile of clutter. Take a minute to put the extra clothes away, too if you had any that you placed on your bed.

Put away supplies

After putting away your cleaning supplies take time to reflect on how clean your bedroom is and the feeling of accomplishment you have at the moment.

If you take the time to clean your bedroom like this often, you’ll be able to see the floor and find your bed. Your bedroom will become and stay your sanctuary.

Now you know how to clean your bedroom in just 15 minutes! Cleaning your bedroom right away will make it easier to keep clean and decluttered.

  • Having a tidy bedroom does make it much more relaxing and peaceful :) I like to do a big clean each week but everyday I make sure I make my bed and keep on top of clothes and clutter. Thank you for sharing your tips Michelle, it shows that it doesn't take long to keep things tidy and organised! Fab post <3 xx

    • When my bedroom is cluttered I feel overwhelmed and stressed out. That's great that you make sure your bed is made and clutter is picked up. I'm sure your bedroom is very nice and relaxing! :) Thank you so much!

    • Thank you! I'm so glad you found it helpful!
      I will go check out your new blog now. Thank you for sharing the link. I hope you're doing well!

  • I like your use of a basket to gather clutter to sort through later. You always offer very practical and efficient steps. God's peace!

    • Thank you so much! A basket is so helpful for me so I don't stress out about putting things away when I don't have time.

  • I totally agree with this! I always find that a made bed makes my room feel less cluttered and I have to tidy my things away on my dressing table. The only thing I really struggle with clutter wise is stuff in PR boxes that I'm leaving out as a reminder I need to use or photograph, I need a better system for that stuff. 15 minutes is very impressive still though x

    • That's great! Clutter makes me feel overwhelmed and stressed out and I can't relax. Maybe put the stuff you need to photograph in a separate room if you have the space?

  • Good to know that works too! I learn so much from you as well! Keep it up great post.

  • Hi Michelle,
    Hope you are well. All ok here so far Michelle.
    Quite a timely post, thanks.
    This activity has been on my to do list since returning from The Gambia. Have cleaned my bedroom but not how I would like it to be (other things taking presidency at present).
    I have scheduled to prioritise today after shopping trip.
    I have saved the post to my household board on Pinterest. On revisiting I didn’t realise how many boards I had compiled. Plenty of time to revisit now!!! I PROMISE not to sabotage my efforts.
    Have a good week end ??❤️

    • Thank you for reading! I'm glad you found it helpful!
      All is well so far here, too. I'm glad to hear you are doing well, too.
      I completely understand about Pinterest boards. I used to be addicted and now I need to take the time to clean it up! :)
      I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Happy organizing!

  • Yes! There is nothing like falling into a clean, nicely made bed at the end of a long day. Being able to sigh, "ahhh..." when you are off to slumber land is way worth the act of making the bed up every morning. Keeping the bedroom uncluttered and tidy is a must for me too.

    • You described exactly how I feel. There's nothing like a clean bedroom and a made bed when you're so exhausted at night.
