How to Clean Your Room

One of the things I dread most with my kids is nagging them about cleaning up, doing their chores or doing a better job at their chores.  But I know that the only way that they will a) do their chores b) learn how to do them correctly and c) become contributing members of society, is by being consistent with them.   Here’s how to teach them to clean their room: 

  1. Clear the Clutter
  2. Take Care of the Clothes
  3. Make the Bed
  4. Straighten Up
  5. Wipe Everything Down

Get the full instructions on the printable, included below.

How to Keep Your Room Clean

Equally as important as cleaning your room, is keeping your room clean.  Each family has their own rules and ways of running things but here are a few ideas for how to keep your room clean:

  1. Keep everything in its place.
    Having a designated spot for everything is key to having a clean room.  If the room is unorganized chaos right now, make it a goal to clear the clutter and assign a place for everything.
  2. Wash your sheets! 
    Teaching kids how to do laundry is super important.  To be honest, I didn’t really know how to do the laundry when I left for college. I want my kids to know how to take care of themselves and learning to do their laundry and wash is one of those things. Having them wash the sheets is an easy way to teach them how to do the laundry.
  3. Keep the top of your dresser clear of clutter.
    It is way harder to keep a clean room with a dresser full of stuff.  If you take the time to clear all of it off, you’re one step closer to a consistently clean room.
  4. Throw stuff away regularly.
    This one has been hard for me over the years.  I am sentimental and like holding on to all of the things.  As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that I don’t need things to keep memories so I’ve gotten better about throwing things out.  I hope to pass this on to my kids.
  5. No food in the room.
    In our family we have a no food rule in the kids rooms.  We haven’t been 100% on this (I have one child who likes to sneak food to her room, ahem) but when we do it helps keep the room clean.  And it majorly cuts down on the stink!

    Hi – I love love love all your printables. Thank you so much for your kindness in sharing them free. I have been using them a lot, especially the chores / screen time tick lists, to save myself saying the “same things over & over again!” :)
    I can’t seem to edit the pdfs – probably because my home pc is so old it won’t do the Adobe updates any more. Could I be a little cheeky & ask for an amendment? The How to Clean Your Room printable has a wee typo in “Straighten Up” – it’s vs its. I can’t fix it because of my ancient pc – would you mind terribly fixing it for me so I can print it out for my kiddos? Thank you so so much, Trish xx

(Like Mickey!) I started 30days several years ago as my idea file. After 9 years and thousands of ideas, I realize I’ll never be able to check them all off my list.
