During a spring clean at home, the bedroom often comes last. Yet it is the room where you spend a third of your life, and the place where care makes the difference.
What to do.
Air everything out
Open all windows for some hours. Let a draught go through the room. What stayed trapped behind closed windows in winter may go.
Wash the curtains
What kept the light out all winter has also gathered dust. Into the machine or to the cleaner.
Move the furniture
Under the bed, behind the cupboard, that is where the most dust gathers. Thoroughly vacuuming a few times a year is worth more than weekly skimming.
Look over your duvet
How old is it? How does it feel? Is it ready for a wash? A check with us costs nothing. We tell you honestly whether the duvet is still good or not.
Replace the pillowcases and fitted sheets
What was fresh some years ago is no longer. Linen grows softer with the years, but worn linen feels different from soft linen.
Air the mattress
Pull off the fitted sheet, let the mattress lie bare in sunlight for some hours, if possible. Dust mites bear neither dryness nor light.
A spring clean in the bedroom is a matter of half a day. The months after feel different.
