Once a year the bedroom deserves a thorough clean. Spring is a logical moment for it. There is more light, more air and more drive to dive in.
Start in the corners
Dust, mop and work calmly from top to bottom. Curtains, carpets, skirting boards, door handles, lamps, under the bed and behind the cupboard: those are exactly the places where dust lingers.
The cupboard empty
Take everything out. Look at what you still wear and what only takes up room. Then everything goes back, with air between the pieces. A cupboard that breathes keeps clothes better.
The bed
Strip the bed completely. Let the mattress air. Wash the bed linen and hang it outside if the weather allows. At the same time look at the state of your duvet. Washing every 5 to 7 years is no luxury, but hygiene.
Closing off
Windows, floor, radiator, door. Once more over everything. A bedroom thoroughly cleaned once a year feels calmer the rest of the year.
Why the bedroom is different
The bedroom gathers what you do not always see: dust, skin particles, moisture and trapped winter air. A yearly clean not only visibly cleans, but also changes the feel of the room.
The bed as final touch
When the room is clean, the bed deserves the same care. Mattress, bed linen and duvet together form the sleep climate. Those who air everything often feel a difference the same evening.
