Room to Live

Everyone of us surely have a room of their own or with someone to retire for the day or just to be alone and take the pleasure of resting even without the tired muscle present in your condition right? Well, your very own room reflect who you are as a person. So it very much depends on how things are kept or how clean your room is when looking at your personality. That is one thing. The other things are, how well can you maintain your room as clean as possible and for how long? During my travels so far, I can only tell one thing to maintain a good personality and how can you keep your room as clean as possible. but for now, Let me show you how I maintain my room and clean it when it became full of clutters.

Every holidays or even summer time, I take a road trip back home here at my province, only to find out that my room is now a storage room. There are a lot of clothes, boxes, furniture, and other things being kept when it is not needed. This is no surprise for me since, I entered college. Now, how do I clean it the old fashion way (This old fashion way actually is good when you need or want to burn some calorie. :D ).

1.) Since the room is full of boxes and other furniture, I looked for a place in the house for the furniture to keep them or to even display them to make the house much more appealing than it is simple. The boxes should go to the other room that is not entirely needed.

2.) Clothes that are going to be sold are put on a separate box and is later on put on the front of the house for a garage sale. Our family do this every time we clean the house only to be found out that there are some clothes we do not wear for some reason.

3.)Now that the room is free from unnecessary clutter, it is time to put away cobwebs and dusts from the room.

• Dusts from windows should be well cleaned with dry cloth first and then wet cloth to really remove the dust.
• 
  Keeping other furniture in your room should also be dusted with fry cloth first, then wet cloth second.
• 
  If you have narrow spaces in your room, clean those up as well. Make a way to open those up to clean it. Insects sometimes thrive on those spaces.
   
• Cobwebs are sometimes found in the ceilings and is sometimes high, so I suggest that you get a ladder to clean those up.
   
• Do not forget the walls, clean them up with wet cloth to remove dust and other stains. Cleaning up different kind stains depends on what kind of stain it is.

4.) Sweep the floor thoroughly under your bed, under the furniture and to the very edges of the room. Remember to dust of your room properly before sweeping the floor or it will be useless to sweep the floor when there are remaining dust that are falling down.

5.) If you want some furniture to be kept in your room, clean them as well. Who would want to have a dirty furniture in a clean room right? Arrange them in a way you want that makes you feel comfortable. Minimize furniture for easy movement in the room even if it is a large or a small room.

 6.) Your bed should be well cleaned as well, bedsheets and pillow case should be clean and should compliment each other in design and in color.

I prefer clean white bed than a colored one

7.) Selecting curtain for your room should be light and cool for the surrounding. This will make your room look pleasing and cool.

8.) Since my bedroom was once a storage room, insects like mosquito are likely to made the room their home. So when everything is in order and is clean even when checked with a white glove, I sprayed an insect killer for them to die and when the insecticide dispersed from the room, little clean up is necessary to remove the remains.

9.) Putting up a nice scent in your room will make a little ambiance to it. Spraying a scented products to your room is welcomed, but I preferred to light a scented candle as it usually lasts longer than the sprayed ones.

10.) When all is in order, you can now enjoy your room.

Now that you know how I clean your room and maybe you have gained an idea on how to clean your room well, there is only one thing left: How to make your room clean for long as possible (when I say long, this apply as a month or two long or longer than that). I can only say one sentence for that and my only rule for now that I have not able to see other things that will help me make my room clean.

"You should have self discipline when you are in your room."

Why? Because, you are the person responsible for your room. You who are staying on it longer than your parents and friends. You who always sleep in your bed on that room. You who are using your very own room. Everything that you have in your hand, you are responsible on how you use those things.
