Sort out everything into piles. One pile being named “dirty clothes” and another pile being named “scrap paper”, etc.

Vacuum clean the floor, if you have a rug, vacuum that too.

Pick up stuff to go to charity or your own garage sale. Try not to throw things out as you can give them away.Marie Kondo, Cleaning & Organization Expert
Clean out your belongings thoughtfully. "To truly cherish things that are important to you, you must discard those that have outlived their purpose. If you no longer need them, that is neither wasteful nor shameful. Can you truthfully say you treasure something buried so deeply in a cupboard that you have forgotten it?"
-
Put everything in the piles where they belong.

QuestionMy room is not that messy, but it does need to be cleaned. And I keep saying I'm going to do it but it never gets done. What do I do?Community AnswerJust pick a day or night of each month and do it. We're only talking 10 to 15 minutes for the room itself. For example, make it every first Saturday of the month. Do it before noon (after breakfast), so you're not rushing to make a TV show or ruining pool or sunbathing times.

QuestionHow can I personalize my room after cleaning it?Community AnswerYou could add artwork or posters of your choice, but try to keep it simple and neat. Maybe add flowers or a lamp for decoration, some colorful throw pillows, etc. Make sure to keep up with the cleaning by tidying up a little every day.
