- Hi, guys.
Welcome back to my channel.
In today's video, I'm going to be sharing
with you my spring cleaning routine for my bedroom.
You guys loved my daily cleaning routines
so much that I was like if you want to see me clean,
I can show you how I clean.
So give this video a thumbs up if you like
cleaning videos and you want to see more like this.
For me, I start spring cleaning when I need
to put my winter clothes away
and get my spring and summer clothes out.
For me, spring cleaning is just a bit
of a deeper clean and jobs that you only do once a year
so I'll show you what I do to our bedroom
and I hope it gives you some tips
and subscribe for more videos like this
and I will see you very soon.
So I'm starting out with quite a clean room.
We recently had our room refurbished
so it's meant that it's even easier to keep clean.
The first thing that I do in my spring cleaning routine
is to have a big clear out of my closet.
So I will literally just go through
each closet one by one and then each drawer
one by one, stick it all on my bed,
and I actually did this during the evening
because I thought it would be so much easier
with no children around.
So I've put some catch-up on my laptop
and I'm literally just gonna go through
what I want to keep and what I want to throw.
I made three piles of clothes.
One pile of winter clothes that I want
to save for next year, one pile of clothes
to be put back in my closet,
and then one pile of donation clothes.
I was so ruthless when I was doing this
and I had two huge bags of things
to go to the charity shop afterwards.
And although I was dreading it, it only actually
took me two hours to do.
Once I had gone through everything,
I just rehung everything and put it all back.
Each time I emptied a drawer as well,
I would also spray it with a cleaning spray
and give it a good wipe just to make sure
that I was minimizing any odors.
Once I sorted through the contents of each drawer,
I put what I want to keep back
and I fold it in the Marie Kondo way of folding.
Since I discovered it, I cannot fold any other way.
It makes me so organized and it's so easy to see everything.
By being brutal, I actually have two empty drawers
now for my spring clothes.
And I keep all of my spring and seasonal
clothes under my bed.
We have this gas lift bed and it hides
so many things, all of my lighting for vlogging,
all of my spring clothes, all of my shoes,
holiday clothes, it's all under there.
So once I got the spring clothes out and put away,
then I can use these clear containers
which I actually got from Dunelms,
to store my winter clothes that I want
to put away safe for next year.
So now that I've gone through all of my clothes
and put them all away, it's time to go through
my products and my makeup.
I only do this annually, maybe I should
do it more often but I just don't get a chance.
But all I do is go through the things
that I don't use anymore and get rid of those.
But also look at what has possibly gone out of date.
Most products have this little symbol
on the back which looks like an open jar
and it'll also have a number on it
and then an M which means months.
So this Benefit tint says 12 months on it,
this Clarins concealer says 18 months,
this one says 24 months, so I just go through
and try and work out in my head
if anything is really, really out of date
and then I'll just give everything a little bit
of a wipe if it's really, really disgusting
and covered in makeup and then put it all back nicely
and also I will wash my brushes.
I do do this every three or four months, to be honest.
And I use this glove to clean it.
I'll link a video down below that I did
about cleaning my makeup brushes
and I'll also link where I got it from on Amazon.
I find it really easy to use and I love it,
I've had it for years.
And then I'm gonna go around
with my microfiber cloth but I know lots of people
use socks for this as well, just to dust
and just dust all of our blinds,
anything else that needs it like our frames,
any corners of the room that have cobwebs,
the dreaded skirting board.
This has to be the worst job ever.
And then things like our lights
and my lamp, which is a touch lamp
so it just kept going off.
And then I'm also going to open up the shutters
and clean our windows from the inside.
I'll obviously do do this more than once a year
but probably not as often as I should.
I'm just using Windolene and another
microfiber cloth to do this and I'm also
going to air out the room while I'm at it.
And then in terms of our bed, I will remove
all of the linen and give it a wash, like our throw.
Obviously, I'll wash our sheets,
which is a regular thing, but I'll also wash
our duvet and our pillows once a year.
And then, for the mattress, a really cool hack
to do for cleaning is to sprinkle
on baking soda across your mattress.
It's actually better to do this with a sieve
but I was being really lazy, then leave it for an hour
and then it will absorb moisture
and stop any odors and then you can Hoover it up,
Hoover up the excess contents and then you can go ahead
and flip your mattress.
This mattress is from Leesa, it is incredible.
I can really, really recommend it.
We got it when I was heavily pregnant
and really struggling to sleep but it's so, so good.
I'll link it down below.
It's called Leesa and we absolutely love it.
And then I'm gonna Hoover, while I'm on a roll.
Obviously, I do this more than once a year.
If you did have a bed that you can move
and Hoover under, obviously do that
but our bed is so heavy, there was no way
it's going to budge.
And then I'm also just gonna declutter
and wipe down any other sides that we have to wipe down.
And then all that's left to do
is take these two huge bags
to the charity shop of my clothes.
And finally, once everything is clean,
I'm just gonna remake the bed with the clean
duvet and pillows, set it all up, and then give myself
a pat on the back and pass out for another year (chuckles).
Thank you so much for watching.
I really hope you enjoyed it
and I will see you in my next one, bye!
