How to Deep Clean a Bedroom

A few days ago I shared a list of things I do in August to prepare for Christmas. Deep cleaning my bedroom was on that list. I didn’t go into detail at that time so I thought maybe I should at least share my list so you’ll know exactly what I mean by “deep clean a bedroom”. Let me know in the comments if you think of something I left off.

the only thing I would add is to be sure that you dust from the top down… Start with the ceiling, ceiling fan, ceiling lights and then move on to the crown molding, walls, furniture (by height so any wayward dust doesn’t fall on a recently dusted surface), baseboards and then floor (sweep & mop or vacuum). Dust is a true indicator of gravity… it will fall on whatever is beneath it!
