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.

  • Ah ah ah ....Michelle...you read my mind! This post so...resonates with me as that's another thing that's been keeping me busy! Hoover, dust, have a different basket for different dirty laundry types, have a box for spare clothes or maybe winter or summer clothes, stack up the boxes neatly so it doesn't take much space (build vertically), make the most of the space...ah ah ...so funny!

    • I guess I wrote this at just the perfect time for you, then! :D It's the perfect time to clean and organize and go through closets. Stacking the boxes is a great idea to save space!

  • I always make my bed (well most of the time haha) because it just makes me feel better! Thank you for the tips!

    • Me, too! When the bed is a mess I feel like my whole room is a mess, even if the rest of it is clean. haha! Thank you!!

  • I love a clean house, especially the master bed and bath. Thank you for the helpful hints Michelle!

  • I used to be a pro at this but now I have to admit I have gotten a bit lazy. Gathering misplaced items and putting them away is where I struggle. Lol Great reminders for sure.

    • I've been there so I completely understand. I have to keep myself motivated because I know how stressed I feel when there's clutter. Thank you so much for reading!

  • I am a Chinese junior high student blogger and YouTuber. I had already cleaned and reformed my bedroom and made a clean and comfortable study environment before this article generates. Unfortunately, I am so busy with my study tasks right now so I can't do these actions listed in this article immediately.
    Thanks for your useful tips in order to make my bedroom cleaner that it used to! If you had posted these tips before, I could have cleaned my bedroom earlier.
