8 Ways to Keep Your Bedroom Clean Once & for All!

We talk a great deal here at Apartment Therapy about keeping things clean and our persistence about it is quite strong when it comes to our bedrooms. They seem like a magnet for dust and allergens — not to mention clutter from other parts of our home. Today we're taking a stand and saying, enough is enough!

We've talked time and time again about how to keep your bedroom as tidy as can be, but we thought having all that information in one place would make a nice resource for those who might have missed a few. Each one was a good refresher (even for us) as we read back through them and now we're off to tidy up a few things we'd forgotten (the joys of working from home)!

1. How To Clean the Bedroom in 10 Minutes: Even if you think your bedroom is a lost cause, 10 minutes a day (even if you need a repeat session the next day) can make all the difference in the world.
