Deep Cleaning Your Bedroom: A Self-Care Essential
Let’s talk about a good deep clean for your bedroom! For some people, the bedroom is hidden away and isn’t seen by company or guests, and that makes it easy to let the bedroom slip by the wayside. But keeping up with cleaning in the bedroom isn’t just about impressing guests; it’s an important act of self-care. Before you come for me, trust me, I totally get it—cleaning can feel daunting and IS exhausting, especially for busy working families like ours. That’s exactly why we started True Glow Cleaning: to help families manage the never-ending housework. Butttt a clean bedroom isn’t just about appearances. It’s about creating a relaxing and happy space for yourself. We spend a ton of time in our bedrooms (even if we are just sleeping), so having a clean, tidy space is powerful. Here are our top deep cleaning recommendations for your bedroom:
1. Wash Your Bedding
We’re big believers in washing bedding weekly for health and hygiene. It's just the way we were raised, and it has really stuck with me to this day. I'll admit, it is a lot of work, but if you’re interested, our True Glow team offers linen-changing services to help you out!
2. Dust Light Fixtures
Light fixtures and lamps can gather a lot of dust, especially in the bedroom. Since we sleep and breathe in that space, it’s essential to keep the air clean and fresh.
3. Flip Your Mattress
Consider flipping your mattress (if it’s the type that can be flipped) at least once every six months. It can really help with longevity and comfort.
4. Clean Baseboards
Baseboards can accumulate dust quickly, and keeping them clean makes a noticeable difference in the overall cleanliness of your room. Use a vacuum attachment or a dry duster, then wipe them down with a damp microfiber cloth and dry with a dry microfiber cloth.
5. Organize Your Closet
Closet organization can greatly improve the tidiness of your space. Pull everything out, donate what you don’t want, and be sure to vacuum and clean all the corners, edges, and baseboards within your closet.
6. Clean Under the Bed
Don’t forget to clean under your bed! Push it against the wall to reach all the corners. This may feel challenging with a king-size bed, but it’s worth it. Dust bunnies can accumulate quickly under there, especially if you have carpet.
7. Wash Carpets and Rugs
Consider renting a professional carpet cleaner or doing it yourself. You can also take rugs outside to air out and shake them out a couple of times a year.
8. Wash Your Windows and Doors
Windows and doors often get overlooked, but they can gather dirt, smudges, and scuffs. Use a window cleaner or a vinegar-water DIY solution with microfiber cloths and a squeegee. Don’t forget to scrub around the door knobs and base for a fresh look!
9. Polish Wood Furniture
For wood furniture, find an all-natural or nontoxic wood polish and cleaner to keep those surfaces shining and fresh. A freshly polished nightstand is so satisfying to place your jewelry and water glass on before bed!
Less is More
We are not true minimalists at our core, but we do believe that a less-is-more approach to decor in the bedroom especially can also help with cleaning. While some decor brings joy, having less stuff on your nightstand means less to clean around (and under), making it easier to maintain a peaceful, restful environment in your bedroom.
Deep cleaning your bedroom doesn’t have to feel too overwhelming. If it still does, this may be your sign to set up a free call with us to discuss pricing. But truthfully, by incorporating these tips into your routine, you can create a serene space that supports your well-being.

We believe everyone deserves a little help with housework, and we are ready to jump in!
